Eaton lowered his head and balled his fists, as the pain upon hearing that one hateful memory surged to the surface. He lost his mate because of Janus's doing.
There was one moment of craziness when Janus accidentally sacrificed Liz to prolong Diana's life and since that accident, Eaton's loyalty was no longer with him. He couldn't serve the mad king who had killed his mate.
