Chapter Ten

Cupid/Eros waited until there was no one in the room, then quietly moved into it.

Aletheia was right, his mate was near death, and it was his fault.

“Why did you mate me with this man?” Eros softly snarled, glaring at the ceiling. “You had to know how bad it’s gotten for me, the incessant cries of the lonely. Why would you do this to Peter, he doesn’t deserve this.”

“Because he’s as lonely as you are, but he’s also as loving.” Atropos said, appearing in the dimly lit room, her sisters on either side of her. Eros would gape, the Fates were rarely seen by anyone, but he was too busy listening to the woman justify herself. “He would be the perfect person to be at your side, helping you, supporting you.”

Shaking her head, she moved away from her sisters and went over to the bed to brush a gentle hand over Peter’s brow.

“And now, I’m about to cut his thread, well before it was his time.”

Eros watched as a tear slipped down her face, only to fall onto the bed.

“Then you are making that choice. You can’t put that on me. Why can’t you mate him with someone else?” Eros begged. “If he’s so loving then mate him with someone who will love him like he’s meant to be loved.”

“That someone is you.” Lachesis said firmly. “Peter has a light in his soul that few share. His past experiences would have rendered any other man bitter and twisted, but not him. All he’s ever done is try and watch out for his brother and work to keep them both safe. He deserves the grandest kind of love and who better to give that to him than the god of love himself?”

Eros moved his head, intending to glare at the remaining two sisters, when he saw what was in Clotho hands.

“What are you doing?” He cried out.

“Fixing what you are destroying with your foolishness.” Clotho calmly said.

Eros tried to get up and move away, but he was held in place by an unseen force. He watched in disbelief as Clotho pulled back on the bow and shot him with one of his arrows.

Peter felt like he was trying to walk through mud. He could feel that someone was calling to him, needing him, but he had no idea who. All he saw around him was mud, trying to suck him down into it.

“Please, Peter, wake up.” The voice said. “I’m here, my mate, please come back to me.”

Mate, hang on, his mate rejected him. Who would be calling him mate?

“You need to wake, young Peter.” A woman’s voice softly said.

Turning towards the voice, he saw three women, standing together. He turned and walked to them as fast as he could. The closer he got, the less the mud was sucking him down. When he finally got near them, he found he was able to walk on solid ground.

“Who are you?” Peter asked them, “where are we?”

“We are the Fates. I am Atropos, the older sister.
