Chapter 10
Eurides was furious as she walked towards her son’s room, she knocked on the door in anger. Eros opened the door and, seeing his mother’s angry face, frowned, and let out a big sigh before pulling away to let her in.
“Eros, I want you to put a stop to that mangy bitch of Lamia,” Eurides didn’t mince words.
“Mother, I told you not to call her that. He’s here at the request of the wolf council.
“He went to the Queen’s room to offend her. That stupid she-wolf who pulls her with grandeur wanted Danna to bow her head in front of her,” Eurides growled angrily.
Eros changed the expression on his face and his gaze darkened as it flashed through his mind. “It had been an odyssey for my mother to get the queen to come to our lands and Lamia is going to spoil everything.”
“How dare you?” He murmured, pacing back and forth and running his hand through his hair.
“I hope you’ll put a stop to it.” If it were up to me, I would have kicked her out of this pack long ago.” Eurides walked to the door and left the room.
Eros, with a fiery look of fury in his eyes, left his room and strode forward toward Lamia’s room. When he arrived, without stopping, he slammed the door open, causing Lamia to be frightened. Aware that his mother had already spoken to him, he stepped forward to justify himself.
“Eros, listen to me. It’s not like your mother told you. I’m an alpha, and that omega disrespected me. I went to welcome her like your moon, and she…
Eros wouldn’t let her continue. He interrupted her with a menacing roar.
“Shut up. How can you be so stupid and insult the queen of another region who comes to support us with the herds in danger? She doesn’t have to respect you. It’s superior to you or me. You embarrass me with your nonsense. I warn you, Lamia, if you offend the queen again, I will banish you from these lands. So, the wolves of the council become my enemies. Understand?
Lamia nodded, gritting her teeth. She just wished to be the moon of the blue pack. She and Eros have not been intimate. When she thought she would finally have him in her bed, Eros just marked her and left, leaving her in excruciating pain. She just wanted me to lick her wound and ease her pain, she was left with a horrible mark that is indistinguishable from the seal of the pack.
Eros stormed out of the room and returned to his room to get ready.
An hour later, everyone was waiting in the great hall for the special guest. Lamia placed herself next to Eros, Eurides saw her and sighed deeply to calm her rage and positioned herself on the other side of her son.
The time had come. The entrance of the queen with the princess was announced.
“Attention, let’s welcome the queen of the Dawn Empire from the northern region and ruler of the Dawn Pack,” said one of Eurides’ confidants.
To applause, Danna made her triumphant entrance into the hall. Her gait was haughty and graceful, radiating a beauty that left many alphas gawking. Beside him walked his daughter with a flirtatious smile.
Eros was overwhelmed by the scene before him, unable to take in what his eyes were witnessing. In front of him was his mate, but now he saw her in a different way, more feminine and beautiful than ever. That woman was his partner destined by the bond of fate. With a trembling voice and a cold sweat on his forehead, he whispered in a barely audible tone, revealing his excitement and nervousness at every word.

A shudder ran through his body involuntarily. After five years, the familiar howl of his wolf echoed within him, filling the air with his powerful presence. Hercules manifested himself by capturing the closeness and essence of his she-wolf.
Danna was greeting the alphas as she walked to the front. As he approached, he raised his head and saw Eros. His eyes turned intensely black. I sniffed in a grunt of rage.
Eros noticed the expression in his gaze and swallowed hard. I didn’t know how to treat her, how to look at her. A tingling sensation ran through his body.
Danna let out a big sigh and, diplomatically, continued on her way. Arriving at the front of the alpha leader, he spoke in a sly voice.
“Nice to be in your pack, Alpha of Alphas,” he smiled to hide his rage from those present. He broke down when he heard a little voice.
“Alpha Eros, I am Princess Eos Vilkas,” the girl spoke sweetly.
Hearing that melodic and tender voice, Eros experienced an overwhelming sensation, as if the earth itself was shaking beneath his feet. That beautiful little girl smells like him, there was no doubt that they shared the same blood. Joy flooded every corner of his being; He had his little wolf in front of him.
However, the magnitude of the emotion left Eros practically paralyzed. Despite his attempts to speak, the words seemed trapped in his throat, unable to find their way out. His heart was galloping at high-speed wanting to leave his chest, a mixture of wonder, happiness and fear invaded his body.
Lamia angrily noticed the change in Eros and grabbed his arm, he reacted at that moment and took it from her immediately.
Eurides, noticing this gesture of lamia, kindly intervened.
“Your majesty let’s go into the dining-room. Dinner is served.
Danna took her daughter’s hand and walked over to the large table. She sat down in the chair she was told, with her puppy by her side. I tried not to look at Eros. He would not have the pleasure of seeing her weak and overthrown. Now he would show her who she was.
“Lamia! You’ve gone crazy! I told you not to be by my side at the Queen’s presentation.” Looking at her with authority, he whispered softly so that only she could hear. I want you away from Danna and her daughter or face the consequences.”
Lamia felt a deep indignation within her. She dissembled and followed Eros, clenching her jaw as it was placed in an area far away from him. What bothered him most, however, was the way Eros stared at the omega in amazement. To her, that she-wolf was simply an insignificant omega.
The night continued quietly; Danna spent it greeting everyone present with diplomacy.
Eros tried to talk to other alphas, but he couldn’t concentrate. Hercules was agitated. Despite the chaos it caused him, he couldn’t help but feel calm and moved by the presence of his wolf, the one that had been away for five long years. Now, finally, he had returned. He was also distraught as Danna avoided his gaze. She saw her daughter eating happily, and her heart jumped with excitement, she only thought of how to get close to them. He shuddered as he listened.
“How could you lose my family, my she-wolf?” Hercules growled when he felt his she-wolf annoyed. Eros didn’t answer him, he knows his whiny wolf was right.
