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

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

“The rogues and vampires. They askedto. they wanted to it was them” Theo tried to speak but words would

not cout 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. Takedown?”

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 givinglately.

King Eros is arrogant.

Theo nodded his head, “Y-yes, my King | was merely working on orders because | 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 nyet, my King, | have not seen him or met him directly. | simply received a message from

someone one time.”

“What message?” Eros’s tone was sharp, and it madeflinch, happy that it wasn’t directed at me.

They gavea sum of $7,000 and proposed that | join them, and they would makeone 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 | hear you, the more | 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 cyou're here? Or were you instructed to

bring Eden?

“Y-yes. Bat 1 knew slie would never willingly chere 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.

| pulled the coat closer to my body and watched their exchange, | had been sitting on the couch, rubbing my

hands together as | tried to process what had occurred in the last two hours.

| had almost been sold and taken advantage of by two different men, one | had recently met and one that was

my mate. Theo stole a glance atand 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. | would've killed you, but you are no use todead. 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. | 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 | am sorry, my King. Please have mercy on me. B-but

the rogue King is dangerous. He will killif he finds a

(out”

Eros twirled the injection in his hand. “You better fear me, and what would | 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. | 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 madeshudder. 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?

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

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

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

The only cnearand lookedin the eye. “I want you to trust in

this, okay?”

I blinked in confusion. “On what?”

But before | could ask him further, he gently pulledup from the couch and broughtnear Theo. | recoiled

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 atwith pleading eyes.
