Eclipse

Ten

Peace and calm is better than rage and fire. Stay in control and stay positive. Your anger won't get you anywhere. Relax and accept what you can't control. Sometimes being quiet is more powerful than yelling. Killing him won't help anyone. 

I repeated these sentences to myself but could feel my body begin to twitch as the dumb shit continued talking. 

Suddenly everything in my snapped. Before anyone could process what was happening I was on fire and holding my former mate by his neck against the wall, still silent but a ticking time bomb ready to go off. 

I could feel my flames licking my body, not quite touching him but he could feel the heat. 

Everyone in the room stood up, Donny looking feeling smug and satisfied, beginning to relax while the others tried to figure out to handle the situation. 

They obviously weren't going to just let me kill this guy, no matter how bad he's been to me. Well Donny would, hell he's probably dying to jump in and give me advice on the most painful ways to do it, but besides him. There were consequences. It wasn't worth it. I knew this but couldn't find it within me to control myself. 

"Eclipse. Please. I don't know what went on between the two of you but you know you can't do this. Why don't you just let him down and we can talk this through like the powerful, strong, wise gods we are." 

I really wanted to listen to him but his words were just flying over my head as I bared my teeth and growled extremely deeply, holding one of the most dangerous warnings anyone had ever received. 

The dick of course automatically and immediately submitted, lowering his head and avoiding eye contact but it didn't seem to satisfy my beast. She still felt him as my mate and she didn't want him submitting. 

My tiger was very indecisive honestly and I don't think anything he could have done could make this situation better. If he hadn't submitted maybe I would've felt a little bit better knowing at least someone strong had taken so much from me, but no. He just went limp and didn't even attempt to fight back. 

However that made me feel strong and powerful and on the road to revenge. 

You see what I mean? 

Indecisive. 

My fire started to burn brighter and grow as I continued to slowly lose control over myself. If this continued, the planet could be no more in a matter of minutes, all those I loved here with me burned to death. 

Except Fire. 

Realizing he was the only one who could help he cautiously walked towards me. 

He walked through the fire that began to lick the floors of the room and spread outwards, making everyone sweat in both heat and stress. Worst case Zeus could teleport them all out of there in time but I don't think he'd be happy if I blew up his precious planet. 

I felt a hand on my shoulder and flinched at the sudden contact accidentally increasing the pressure in my hands making my mate's eyes go wide with worry. Just a little more or a little longer and he would be no more. 

At least for a few years until he was reincarnated... It would be so easy. 

"Eclipse." Fire said in the softest voice I had ever heard come out of him. With all his scowling and grumpiness it threw me completely off guard. 

Almost every part of me wanted to continue to choke the doofus but somehow the part of me that wanted to see the face that accompanied that warm voice. The aura that surrounded such softness won out. 

I reluctantly dropped stupid to the ground and turned around to face the voice that had pulled me out of my trance. 

Once I saw how soft Fire's eyes were and how understanding his facial expressions and aura was I couldn't help but melt, the flames around me sucking back into my body as I felt my calmness return and my powerful rage leak out of my body. 

It was amazing seeing his stoney face that was always so hard turn to mush and show what was behind the facade. 

Sadly it was cut short by the one and only Zeus clearing his throat awkwardly. 

Fire's face instantly hardened as we were plummeted back into reality. 

I turned my attention to Zeus. He had a strange look on his face and glared harsher than I've seen before at the tall, fiery man standing behind me like a brick wall. 

I could see Killian looking around with complete confusion behind him while Donny was crossing his arms and shaking his head, his eyes on prince shithead. 

It was very clear by his facial expressions that he was disappointed that I didn't rip the asshole's head right off and was contemplating doing it himself, wondering if he could take on a God or not. 

He probably couldn't especially a powerful one like thunder which I think he realized too as he sighed and sat back down on the couch pouting. 

I sighed, rubbing my head and trying to expel the last bit of violence from my body as I slumped down on the couch next to Donny who instantly threw his arm around me protectively pulling me close to himself and continuing to glare at everyone while sweetly rubbing my arm. 

Zeus, Fire, Killian and Prince dumbass were somehow all glaring at Donny's arm around me and I couldn't help but role my eyes. 

What? I should be the one scowling not them! Urgh... 

I slapped my own face a couple of times, sitting up straight and trying to pull myself together. 

The group was now looking at me with wide, concerned eyes but I couldn't bing myself to care. 

"Just so everyone stops being confused," I managed to say evenly, taking a big breath before continuing, "This is Prince, or I guess former Prince Jacob Kaden Lunar. He was my mate down on earth, that was until he met me and rejected me." 

A heard a few gasps, continuing. "He then later, once I got over him and pulled my shit together, locked me up and tortured me, planning on using me fore sex." 

More gasps. 

"Before he finally pulled a group together who all came together to kill me." 

Everyone turned to Jacob with wide eyes who was still lying on the ground. 

He was cringing hard, shifting on the floor as Zeus looked at him in disbelief and everyone looked at him in complete rage. 

This situation somehow ended with me protecting him from all four of the other men throwing themselves at him, trying to end his life, throwing threats and curses at him as they tried to get past me. 

Just when I thought I was done with all this bullshit.
