The Beta’s Regret

Eres didn’t look at me. In fact, he just continued walking back towards the car and reached it in a few seconds.

And I felt my cheeks flame and my skin tingle at the way his fingers casually rested on the underside of my breast and my thighs.

Not that he was trying to touch me or anything, he was just carrying me, knowing very well that the new shift had seeped out the remaining energy from me.

My gaze went to the sky, and I noticed that the moon was slowly disappearing behind the horizon. It was quite late in the night, or maybe early in the morning.

But it wasn’t too dark anymore. And I felt my cheeks flame red. At least in the darkness, I could hide my face and not let him see my emotions. But in the absence of it. I only wondered how it would be to face him again in broad daylight.

I was finally happy to have awakened my wolf. Tiara. At least, I wasn’t wolfless anymore.

I looked up at the sky and thanked the moon Goddess for restoring my wolf.

I nuzzled against Eros’s bare chest, inhaling his scent that went straight to my head.

Despite running with Tiara, he had not broken in sweat, neither did he look tired after sating my heat and allowing the shift to happen

Eros brought me near the car, and gently opened the door with one hand and placed me on the seat. His fingers brushed my breast accidentally, and I tried my best to not shiver at the pleasure it sent down my spine.

His face was close, too close to me. He only looked at my face for a brief second to see if I was okay and then closed the door while getting into the driver’s seat.

“We have one problem, Eros said after steering the car in the direction of the road and leaving the muddy, slightly twisting/ lanes of the lanes that led to the lake.

flooked at him, and he replied without looking at me. “I usually have extra clothes around but my shirt is torn and so is your dress”

I had been sitting with my legs crossed over each other and I let my hair fall on my chest to cover my chest. I looked around. to see if I could see something to cover myself, but there was nothing.

Not to mention that my muscles and brain were still reeling from the fatigue of the shift, plus every sweet thing he did to

Or rather, what he did NOT do to me. Some part of me had been craving for more of him, but he stopped abruptly after seeing my mark..

He mumbled something about the mark changing shape, but I felt like it was just that he did not feel the need to go any further.

I tried to focus my thoughts on the fact that I had finally found my wolf instead of his abrupt change of action.

The soft breeze flowing in through the open window gently caressed my face and began fulling me to sleep.

1 felt my eyelids grow heavy as Eros drove the car toward the gate of the mansion. By the time we reached it, the sky was much brighter, and the darkness was gone, just like my worries.

The guards promptly opened the gate and Eros drove the car inside the garage. Since it was quite early in the morning, not

many were around.

The car drive back home had been silent, but I didn’t even notice it as I was too happy to have found Tiara back.

Eros turned the ignition off and got out of the car. He was just in his pants and had no qualms abou

walking out half–naked,

Not that anybody would question him. His hair was still a little wet and messy and in the morning light, I could see his muscles and six pack quite clearly.

But I tore my gaze away from that sight and looked around. I had to find something to cover myself in.

Eros had almost made it to the door when he realized I had still not moved “Are you going to sit there the entire time?” He asked, turning around to look at me.

I tried not to sound irritated as I muttered. “I need clothes”

He leaned on a pillar beside him and muttered,

“Well, they are upstairs- in your room. You can go up and get them.

I found that smirk returning to his face.

“I know that,” I mumbled, mostly to myself, but his ears twitched, telling me that he had heard me. That smirk turned even wider.

“Can you please give me something to cover myself up?” I asked, but he did not budge, so hastily added, “…your Majesty That smirk turned into a grin as he turned around and left without a word.

What!

He just left me sitting there? I waited for a minute or two and even craned my ears to pick up the sound of his footsteps, but I couldn’t hear a thing.

Looking for the nearest exit and a way to slowly tiptoe over the stairs towards my room, I got out of the car.

My back was turned towards the huge gate he had walked out of because I saw a small door that would lead up the stairs and thought of going up through it.

And I didn’t notice that a wall had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A wall of muscle, right behind my back.

“Ouch” I smacked myself on Eros’s chest and he grabbed my arm to stop me from falling, turning me around in one smooth

move.

He was holding a shirt in the other hand, his shirt to be specific.

“You can never sit still for a minute, can you? You like to be restless,” He said and my eyes flicked to the shirt he was holding up, a bit away from my reach.

“Oh really? You left me sitting all alone,” I said and jumped up to reach for it, but he shook his head and held it a little higher. “Miss Eden Let me remind you of one thing. I am the Hybrid King and you are my pack member. You better learn how to

behave

I tried not to roll my eyes and muttered, “Your excellency, the supremely talented and handsome Hybrid King, will you please do the favor of giving this poor pack member some piece of clothing to reach her room while retaining her modesty?”

Eros raised an eyebrow, “Your wolf is already making your tongue roll” He noticed the way I was speaking to him. Maybe having reawakened my wolf, made me a bit bolder.

He lowered his hand when I did not speak a word, and I hastily put on the shirt. It was navy blue and again reached my thighs, so it did a good job of covering me.

“Thank you,” I said and began walking towards the small door, but then I heard his voice. Tame your wolf before she starts dominating you”

I only gave him a thumbs up before slinking up the route and quickly moving up the stairs to reach my room, Eros’s shirt smelled divine. It still had his lingering scent, and I could still recall the way he had raked his my body when I was with him.

There was a definite joy in my body language as I climbed up the stairs, happily humming a tune to myself.

I had reached the floor when I heard a voice “Oh, you are back. I was wondering where you were. I was looking for you…”

I turned around to see Olivia standing in front of me.
