Christian Walker
All men over the age of eighteen set out on a search to find Erik, Kai, or even Alaric, who I was disappointed and at the same time furious to find out was missing as well, and had somehow gone along with whatever plan Erik had come up with in his mind. Giovanni and I had led separate groups, as Giovanni was pissed at me right now for not going home like I should have to make sure Kai was alright, and honestly, I can't say that I blame him. I knew something wasn't right, but I thoug
ht it was just because our wolves were on edge since Kai had just gotten out of the hospital. It was dumb of me, I know, but I just hope Kai is okay. If he was badly hurt, or being hurt, we would feel it through the bond, but I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to find Kai, and he would just be taken to wherever and then badly injured where we wouldn't be able to get to him.
My paws hit the ground floor as the wind whipped across my face as I ran, and I could feel the anger coursing through my veins. I was beyond mad, knowing I should have dealt with Erik a long time ago, and I should've known he would hold some resentment towards Kai since his brother was killed, but what makes me mad is that his brother tried to have Giovanni killed! It's not like Eren was going to be killed because of absolutely no reason! He should be lucky that he hadn't been exiled after what Eren did, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowed him to stay.
I won't make that mistake again!
Christian --- anything, Gio?
Giovanni --- Nothing! It's like this son of a bitch dropped off the face of the ear. I'm pretty sure he neutralized his scent so that he wouldn't be able to be tracked, and has somehow managed to block Kai's scent as well. This damn fucker has to have been planning this for a long while now. I should've killed him too when I had the chance five years ago.
I understood Giovanni's rage, as I too felt the same. Erik has been challenging us for five years, undermining our authority and making it seem like we were bad Alphas because we didn't just banish Eren. Hell! We weren't even the ones who made the judgement call, and I don't know if we wouldn't have chosen any different. But Erik made it out to seem like Giovanni and I were the ones who officially had Eren killed, which isn't true at all. It was dad who did all that, and he didn't even make Giovanni or I watch it either, knowing how it would impact us. I practically bristled at the thought of it.
I had loved Eren, yes, and what he tried to do destroyed me. Did I really want to see him dead? No. Do I think he should've been banished? Yes. But I know what he tried to do basically destroyed Giovanni, and to see him falling for Kai and learning to put trust in someone besides me or our closest friends, was something different altogether, and I couldn't forgive Eren for doing it. I just hope Eren is repenting in whatever afterlife the goddess has in store for us.
Kai --- I'm at the house. We need to talk.
My heart raced in my chest as I quickly whipped around, nearly knocking over a few wolves in the process as I raced towards the house, and I knew Giovanni was practically behind me as I could hear him catching up. Making our way to the house was scary, because I was afraid of the condition that I would find Kai in. But as I shifted into my human form, Giovanni doing the same and made my way to where I could see Kai standing, a sullen expression on his face, my eyes drifted to the person beside him that I almost didn't recognize, and I halted a few feet away, Giovanni frozen beside me as he stared at the person as well.
I didn't know how to form any words, as I could feel the anger and confusion rushing through my body and no doubt Giovanni was feeling the same way. I was rooted to the floor, wondering how he was here and how he should be dead. We were told he had been executed.
"Eren?" Giovanni's voice cracked, anger and pain clearly in his voice as he looked upon the man who had tried to kill him.
Eren smiled meekly, practically hiding behind our mate, "Giovanni, Christian, it's... good to see you."
A snarl escaped Giovanni and he lunged forward, the intent to kill clearly on his face.
Shit!
