His eyes widened at the sight, the first thought that came to his mind, was to run up to her and steal her from the sight of the world. She was the most exquisite being he has ever seen.

"I-, Alpha." He bowed, his eyes moving from Eris to his unnamed soulmate.

His yellow irises turned green, showing signs of his wolf's appearance, taking slow steps forward, he glances at his Alpha again, unsure whether he was allowed to go to his mate or not, he didn't want to disrespect Alpha Eris by not waiting for her green light.

His hands twitched in anticipation and when he saw Eris's slight nod of approval, it took him less than two seconds to reach his soulmate, pick her up and run off with her.

Eris's lips almost moved upwards at the excitement rolling off of him, once again, an unknown feeling settling in her chest. She rubbed her hand softly over her heart, the feeling of it beating almost... excitedly, confusing her.

She turned on her heels and headed for the woods, leaving the new couple behind. Her thoughts wandering to her own lovers and what their future together would have looked like, had it not been for the damned prophecy.

Tormented by the thoughts of her demise, she once again stopped them before they could do any real damage to her and everyone around her.

She wanted to head towards the one and only place in which she feelt free, trying to decipher the hieroglyphs forming in her mind, her mental state left a lot to be desired, it truly did yet even then she was one of the most brilliant people there had ever been.

She knew that time was running out but she was closer than ever to finding the key to win this upcoming disaster.

She watched the moon, it's brightness lighting up the forest she walked through. She finally knew where she was heading, after confirming it with Lancia, she didn't waste a second in deciding to go after it that very moment. The thoughts of her safe place leaving as fast as they arrived. She didn't have time to enjoy herself, she was on a mission which could not be deterred by personal pleasures.

The forest was getting thicker, the trees leaning in on each other, shielding her from the only existing light, the moon.

She glanced down at the fallen leaves surrounding her and found herself admiring once again their unique colors, she could hear the sounds of the crickets and the owls that were hovering above her, her eyes turned darker, her powers helping her sight in the darkness.

She never enjoyed the light, having a personality that boarded dangerously close towards darkness, which in their world meant something dangerous was one of the reasons she didn't particularly enjoy the light.

Yet to her, darkness only meant peace and safety.

Her steps were soft and unheard as she entered the cave in which the supposed object lies, when she finally confirmed its whereabouts, she was displeased to say the least, it was very close to her, all this time... right at the edge of her territory. She felt stupid when she realized how fast she could've gotten it and how she could've prevented everything from happening centuries ago.

She glanced at the stone walls surrounding her, their color seemed to be a bit off, in an unnatural way, it was too perfect for this to be a real cave, the dull grey looked painted on and instead of having a texture, it was smooth, too smooth. She moved her hand to the wall and dragged it along the length of the weirdly perfect stones, indeed they were smooth and not only that, but a substance was on them, a substance which glowed white the moment she touched it.

Her confusion disappeared and the corner of her mouth lifted in a smirk which highlighted her beautiful features, her eyes shined brighter and her relaxed figure stilled.

She took her hand off the enchanted wall and brought it to her nose, the foul smell entering her nostrils.

She recognized the scent.

How could she not?

It was the exact toxic combination that was used on her while she was tortured. Her body was so used to it that it didn't even react like it used to, back in the day, the toxin would've brought her to her knees in pain yet in the present, it only served to annoy her.

A chilling sound escaped her, with her canines on full display she roared, a roar that could be heard and felt throughout her whole territory and further.

The sound's intensity destroyed the fake walls surrounding her, the spell which was once put on them was destroyed because her roar wasn't one of anger, no, it was one of cleansing.

It got rid of all the magic that once stood in that empty space.

With the fall of the stone, came one of the best sights that has ever greeted her.

The object which she has been looking for.

The only one which could defeat him.

The only object to exist that would be able to bring him to his knees and further down to his grave.

She reached her right hand out to grab it, only to be stopped by a voice.

Her ears perked up at the sound of her name coming out of it, she looked at it confused.

Her eyes flashed red the moment she understood its message.

Her mates.

It was talking about the one beautiful thing life has offered her.

It wanted her to abandon them and her possible future.

She took a deep breath, calming herself and ignoring the words of the object that now stood in her hands, she walked out of the place where once stood the cave and into the woods only to be met with the sight of her ones and only.

"Our love." Said Ezra, his voice light and filled with happiness.

She couldn't understand how he could be so lively all of the time.

"You can't keep ignoring us, sweetheart." It was Hades's turn to speak.

She didn't answer, she just grabbed the one closest to her and pulled him in for a heated kiss.

Ezra was fast to react. His hands moved down her waist to grab her and pull her closer while Hades moved behind her, pulling her hair to the side he nibbled on her ear before moving his lips down to the base of her neck, where her collarbone resided.

She once again felt whole, their presence surrounding her and reminding her of the beauty of a bond.

Her mind wandered back to what the thing in her right boot said.

She couldn't stop it.

Her other side took over and pulled Ezra back from the kiss.

She tried to gain control, the fight leaving her and all of her other sides breathless.

The struggle in her could be felt by both Ezra and Hades yet they didn't understand what was happening.

Her eyes were a dark brown tinted with red along the edges, while Hades couldn't see that, Ezra sure did and was awestruck. His own eyes turning crimson at the sight.

"How..", his voice trailed off.

Eris's other side won and pulled Ezra as close as possible before burying her fangs deep into the left side of his neck.

Marking him as hers. Just like she marked Hades.

Hades understood what was happening and he took a step back, the only sound that could be heard was the moan of pleasure coming from deep within Ezra.

And as both of them stood there, Ezra stuck in the pleasure of being marked and Hades watching the whole interaction with a smile on his face, they didn't notice the dark mist surrounding them.

Nor did they notice the man that stood in the shadows, with a smirk on his handsome face.

"The time has almost come..." His voice went above them with the wind.

While the two soulmates were still lost in the special moment shared between them and their soulmate, Eris heard him.

Her head snapped up but it was too late.

He was already gone.
