Kai Evans
I stared at him, unable to believe my eyes because I thought he was executed five years ago because he tried to have Giovanni killed. Eren was beautiful, more so than from what I heard. Although he was dressed in black and a little on the pale side, and a lot thinner than he should be, he was still beautiful nonetheless. He has wavy black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and these dark grey eyes. There was a giant scar on his face that marred his beauty, and I couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
"How are you alive?" I demanded, glaring at him because of what he had tried to do, "you should be dead! They told me that you were executed!"
Eren sighed, looking away, "I was supposed to be dead but they, um, Theodore and Aurora pardoned me persay, and cast me out as a rogue. But in exchange for allowing me to live, I was to stay as far away from Giovanni and Christian, and not approach them. And I did exactly this for five years, and I wasn't even able to contact my family to tell them that I was alive. Only recently did I find Erik after finding a way to mask my smell, and I told him about what had happened. Imagine my surprise when I found out Giovanni and Christian found a new mate, one they actually marked."
"Five years AFTER you tried to kill Giovanni!" I growled, surprised that Theo and Aurora would do such a thing and let him get away with it, "but unlike you, I'm not going to kill either of them because I love them both, and I would never choose."
Eren chuckled, a look in his eyes that sent a shiver down my spine, "well, I admire your courage, Kai, but you'll be the one to lose here. You honestly think if they had to choose between me and you, they would choose you? I am their FIRST love, and I will always be that. You're just the plaything they found who would bow down to their every whim. During my exile, I've begun to realize how much I actually love Giovanni, and I wish to make up for that mistake. The thing is though, I'm going to need to have you... disappear for a while, until I can get them to mark me. Did you know that if they mark me, the mark on your neck will disappear and then you will be free to find another mate. Do you understand where I am going with this?"
I could feel my temper rising, mad at what he was implying, "I'm sorry, but if you ACTUALLY think that they would choose you over me, well, don't make me laugh."
A fire burned in his eyes, "true, but if you end up dead, well, it'll work in my favor either way. Kai Evans, murdered by an unknown rogue. The poor boy never stood a chance."
"Even if I were to die." I hissed, glaring at him, "they still wouldn't choose you. I know for a fact, Giovanni would not be with you, no matter what you do. And since you did try and kill his brother, Christian won't choose you either. So, do you understand where I am going with this?"
Eren stared at me, a weird look on his face that I couldn't quite decipher. I glared right back at him, showing him that I wasn't going to go down without a fight. And as I half expected him to attack me, a big smile crossed his face, a wicked glint in his eyes.
"You know what, I like you." He told me softly, motioning to Erik, "Erik, release him. Kai, I need your help."
I frowned, what the Hell.
I watched Eren suspiciously as Erik went around and untied me. I got to my feet and backed away from them, keeping a good distance as I watched them all carefully, rubbing my slightly raw wrists that stung a little bit, but would no doubt heal with time. My jaw clenched as I knew this could very well be a dangerous situation, but I don't know how to get out of here and it looks like the only exit is the one behind them.
"What do you need my help with?" I demanded, wondering what could be the cause of all this.
Eren sighed, shaking his head, "I'm sorry for the drastic measures of getting you here, Kai. Seeing how I am and there are people who would easily recognize me, it wouldn't be safe for me to go into the village right now and to have talked to you myself. But, Erik here thought you wouldn't come willingly so he resorted to rougher methods of getting you to come. I know you may hate me, and I don't blame you. I know what I did was wrong, I've been paying it for the past five years as a Rogue, and I should've never been with them to begin with. I realized this now as I know I loved both of them in their own way, but I wasn't in love with them. At the time, I was doing what everybody else wanted me to do. Being mates with the twin Alphas was an honor, and I should've been proud that they even wanted someone like me. But, I wasn't happy and I thought getting rid of one of them would help me, but I knew later on that it wasn't the case, and I shouldn't have done that because of my own selfish reasons. Giovanni and Christian are good men, and they are lucky to have someone like you who will stand beside them and love them for who you are."
"That didn't answer my question." I grumbled, not trusting him one bit.
I saw a sadness sweep through Eren's eyes, and he bowed his head slightly, "I know. You see, I'm marked and mated." Eren pulled back his hair and showed me the mark on his neck, "his name is Xavier. He's a rogue as well, and he's been with me pretty much since I became a rogue five years ago, although we didn't mate or anything till a lot later on. Without Xavier taking me in the way he did after I became a rogue, and loved me while I thought I was a monster, I know I would've been down a completely different path and no doubt I would've been dead." Eren reached down and rubbed his belly, "I'm eight weeks pregnant now. You should've seen the look on his face, Kai. He looked so happy, he burst into tears and told me I had made him the happiest man in the world, and he was going to do whatever it took to make sure that we have a good life, and we will settle down in one place and raise our baby. We hadn't been expecting to get pregnant so fast, as we had only mated a few times, but I guess it was the way of the Goddess showing us what we needed in that moment, and I don't regret it. Xavier and this baby, they have changed me, and I am a better person than I was."
I was shocked, not having expected this.
"But-" tears welled up in Eren's eyes, "a few days ago, Xavier was attacked pretty badly by a group of rogues, and he's currently in a coma in the hospital. The doctors won't treat him unless they have permission from the nearest pack Alpha or Alphas, and that would be Giovanni and Christian."
"And what do you want me to do?" I growled, hating that I was getting put into this spot, "you may have changed, Eren, but they think you are dead and you tried to have Gio killed! That's not something they are just going to let go!"
Eren fell to his knees, crying softly as he bowed his head, "they can't do what they want to me, but please save my mate! He's been good to me, he doesn't deserve this! Please!"
I watched as he sobbed at my feet, begging me to help save his mate. I didn't understand his reasoning for doing what he did, and I did not know if I could trust him or not. But as I looked back at Erik and Alaric, they too were pleading with me with their eyes to help save Eren's mate. My jaw clenched as I sighed, knowing this wasn't just my decision to make.
"I will." I told him softly, "but on one condition."
Eren's head popped up, a hopeful look in his eyes, "anything!"
I drew in a deep breath, wondering if this was going to be a mistake.
"You will ask them yourself."
