Eros was staring daggers at Theo, who was twitching uncontrollably on the floor.

I pulled the coat even closer to myself as Theo began trying to answer Eros's questions.

"The rogues and vampires. They asked me to. they wanted to it was them" Theo tried to speak but words would not come out because he was shaking in fear.

"What rogues? What do they want from Eden?" The hybrid King thundered and Theo slowly took a peek from his hands. afraid that a punch would hit him square in the nose. When Eros did not throw a punch immediately, Theo lowered his hand. "The... the rogue King, there are rumors of a rogue King and vampires. They want to take you down Eros smirked. Take me down?"

The sheer tone with which he uttered that

question spoke volumes about his self-confidence. He couldn't believe someone could try that, and found it absurd.

Was he proud of himself and his strength? Yes..

But was he an arrogant man? Maybe. Also with the cold shoulder he had been giving me lately.

King Eros is arrogant.

Theo nodded his head, "Y-yes, my King I was merely working on orders because I know Eden and she is with

you.

Eros grabbed Theo's collar and pulled him up as Theo let out a muffled groan because Eros's eyes were boring down into his own. "You take orders from me, not from anybody else. Are you forgetting who rules this realm?" Theo kept shaking and trembling while trying to form a coherent response "I am so-sorry, King"

The King could have killed him in an instant, but something about the connivement with the rogue King and vampires made him control his rage "Who'd he?"

Theo was trembling like a leaf caught in a storm, shaking from head to toe.

"I do not know the name yet, my King, I have not seen him or met him directly. I simply received a message from someone one time."

"What message?" Eros's tone was sharp, and it made me flinch, happy that it wasn't directed at me.

They gave me a sum of $7,000 and proposed that I join them, and they would make me one of their top leaders if they succeed."

Eros raised an eyebrow.

"Really? And did they share with you the plan

Eros growled and Theo answered, "No, your highness!"

Eros could only shake his head. "The more I hear you, the more I can tell that you are one dumb Wolf. You would make a really pathetic Alpha."

Eros let go of Theo's collar and ran a hand through his hair "So how come you're here? Or were you instructed to bring Eden?

"Y-yes. Bat 1 knew slie would never willingly come here to meet me,"

Eros finished the line for him, so you decided to hire a cheap sales guy to do your bidding"

Eros finished the line for him.

Theo raised his hands and put them together as if he was praying to the moon Goddess. "I was afraid that they would hurt her, King

Eros thundered. "Why?"

And at that line, I looked up at him.

Theo stayed silent as Eros raised his hands and slapped him hard when there was no response.

I pulled the coat closer to my body and watched their exchange, I had been sitting on the couch, rubbing my hands together as I tried to process what had occurred in the last two hours.

I had almost been sold and taken advantage of by two different men, one I had recently met and one that was my mate. Theo stole a glance at me and Eros slapped him, "Look at mel!"

Theo was almost on the verge of tears as he answered, "she, they knew that she was staying with you and was your breeder, they were going to hurt her as well."

The injection had fallen from Theo's hand at one point and Eros slowly got up from the floor and walked towards the

injection

Theo began to crouch away, using his hands and legs to push himself back until his back hit the cold glass wall.

"Now listen to me, you little rat. I would've killed you, but you are no use to me dead. Now, you are going to turn into my informant and find out what the rogue King and the Vampires wants from me, and inform me. If you fail to do so. I am going to inject you with medicines that would amplify the pain instead of dulling you to sleep so that even a gentle breeze brushing your hand would feel like a knife slicing through your skin."

Theo had begun to cry and had joined his hands together I am sorry, my King. Please have mercy on me. B-but the rogue King is dangerous. He will kill me if he finds a

(out"

Eros twirled the injection in his hand. "You better fear me, and what would I do to you if you don't obey? And this rogue King of yours, he is a werewolf, a puny little dog in front of me. Do you really think you have any chances of betraying me?" Theo had broken out into a sweat and was cowering while pleading for mercy "N-no my King. I understand b-but please... please don't hurt me."

"I will hurt you in ways you cannot even imagine if you even think of Eden again. Is that understood?"

The way Eros said those words made me shudder. Had he said that only because he was angry, or had he really meant it? Did he truly care for me, or was simply trying to threaten Theo into giving him more information?

I didn't know what to think, but I was certain that I heard his voice crack with emotion.

But if he cares deeply for me then why was he suddenly cold towards me?

P-please. King I will do as you say, Theo was begging to Eros but Eros was the least bothered.

The only came near me and looked me in the eye. "I want you to trust in

this, okay?"

I blinked in confusion. "On what?"

But before I could ask him further, he gently pulled me up from the couch and brought me near Theo. I recoiled when

Theo's hand fell on my feet, or more like Eros grabbed Theo's collar and dragged him towards me.

"She is the one you have to apologize to." Eros muttered, and Theo looked up at me with pleading eyes.
