Chapter 10 - Fiendish Cravings!

Romano Mansion:

It was 10.30 am. Zeus was already dressed up in a black office suite with a white full sleeve shirt tucked inside. He was radiating a sparkling handsome aura around himself. But the most difficulty he always faces while dressing up was during putting up the necktie. The tie seemed a bit crooked while he was adjusting the knot near the dressing mirror. His black shimmering hair was wet and he flipped it on the upper side to capture the appearance of a badass and dapper CEO.​​

As he finished up, slowly he grabbed the car keys and walked outside the room with gallant steps. While strolling downstairs, he peeked at the breakfast table placed over the dining hall. As usual, all the seats at the table were empty. None of the family members prefer to grab their meal altogether at the dining hall. He has been always habituated to eating alone. A few butler and maids were waiting for Zeus at the breakfast table and as soon as he came, they bowed earnestly.

With a wistful sneer, he grabbed his seat on the table. He was served with French toast, along with scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, and lamb's liver. Slowly he picked up the crockery and started chomping the liver first.

"Have you already started eating?"

An impish and quite familiar voice interrupted his meal. He seemed a bit agitated.

Czar came walking close to the table and ogled at him with a cryptic sneer. "Good morning, my dear brother." He greeted.

Zeus didn't raise his head to look at him and sighed deeply. "Why are you here? What do you want now?" A cold voice from him reverted his greeting.

Czar seemed a bit offended with his cold response and pouted. "Gosh, I just wanted to join you for the breakfast today." He pulled out a chair beside him and took his seat with a sly grin. Zeus was quite suspicious with his answer and he peeked a glance at him.

"You are having lamb's liver? Damn, I am craving for some meat too..." He nagged in a mellow tone and turned his head towards the butler. "Mr. Piero, do you have some fresh raw meat? If not, then bring some lamb liver for me." He directed the butler in a dense voice.

Zeus gasped at his cryptic behavior while frowning his eyebrows. "You can stop pretending your brotherly love, Czar. Why you are here?" He inquired him again.

Czar smiled with a spooky expression and rolled his eyes. "Well, I just felt that perhaps I had been extremely rude towards you, last night. So, I wanted to make up for my behavior with a brotherly breakfast. And, I am indeed craving for some raw meat... I guess, the lady we met last night, would have been a delicious one!" He licked his lips with a devilish gaze and conveyed his words to him.

Immediately Zeus slammed the table loudly surprising everyone present there. Czar smirked with his reaction as he was getting amused.

"I have already warned you, Czar. Stay away from her... She has nothing to do with your malicious cravings!" His threat sounded quite hoarse as he was frowning his eyebrows while speaking.

In the meantime, fresh raw beef arrived for Czar and he abruptly chomped on it with his strong canines, which tore a huge chunk of meat into slices. "Ahh, I enjoy your reaction so much, big brother. But, are you her certified bodyguard? Why do you even bother?" He was uttering in an unclear voice.

Zeus averted his gaze and sighed with agitation. "I don't bother about that lady but I absolutely don't want her to be a victim of your fiendish cravings. You have already taken away the lives of countless innocent people. As the alpha of our pack, I can't let you commit more heinous crimes." He sounded quite stern.

Czar smirked with his response and continued chewing the raw meat. "But, you too have taken away the lives of several humans including werewolves. So, isn't it a crime for you too? You get to let away with anything as you are the alpha of the pack?" He instigated the conversation towards a heated argument.

Zeus chomped some lamb's liver with a tense expression on his face and was silent for a few minutes. "I have killed every creature whoever has tried to harm our pack, that's the duty of an alpha. Don't compare my responsibility with your cheekiness." He grumbled.

Czar finished off his breakfast and rubbed his lips gently with a silk napkin. "I have another important topic to ask you, we are short in interns for the company. Should we hire some interns?" He was ogling at him with his grey intense eyes during asking.

Zeus turned his face towards him. "Didn't we hire 2 new ladies as interns last month?" He reverted back to his question.

Czar gently stood up from the seat with a spooky grin. "Well, sorry about that, but I slept with one of them at a motel. And due to my mistake, she witnessed some of my supernatural abilities. So, I had no other choice except to kill her. But her flesh was really delicious... And the other one quit the job due to her own personal issues, it was not my fault." He blurted out with an impish expression in his eyes while staring at him.

Zeus seemed too frustrated with his confession and he snarled at him while standing up from his seat. "You are absolutely lecherous. I am sick of your heinous acts. You are putting our whole existence in danger! Czar, it's the last time I am giving my permission to recruit new ones. But if you dare to mess with them again, I will take strict measures." He growled at him fiercely and walked outside the hall.

Czar stood still behind while watching him leaving alone. "Just enjoy your supreme position till I overhaul you, big brother. And I will be the one with the last victory." He mumbled.
