The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 42

I walked away, stomping my feet like a child. “Eden!” Beauty came running after me. She grabbed my hand and led me of the corridors, and straight out of school.

“Where are you taking me to?” I asked but she kept mute. We took a more steps down the bushy paths and arrived at a

고대 large place.

Now I knew that she didn’t bring her car. It was an isolated spot filled with trees and flowers. Why did she bring me here? she mad at me and wants to hurt me?

Why isn’t she saying anything?!

“Adonis and I sometime come here to get away from school stress. We just… you know,” she finally spoke, her cheeks turni pink

I understood perfectly what she and Adonis does here. We walked a little more and saw some rocks. We sat on the rocks, letting our bare feet glide into the stream running between the rock It was beautiful and peaceful.

“Like werewolves who travel together or stay in their packs, Hybrids are like that too.

It might not seem that way most times, but we are. We have feelings, and value good company.

Although we can travel alone but we prefer to be in a pack… or at least as a couple. That’s one of the reasons mates are important to us,” Beauty started speaking

“Eden, whether you admit it or not, we are a pack. A small pack of Hybrids, but a pack nonetheless. You are one of us. You have been for the last one year,”

Wait! I’ve been a member of a hybrids pack for the last one year and I wasn’t even aware of it?

Was that why they were always around, even when Lyra bullied me. They were like the elite group in our school that even the populars couldn’t touch.

I had been walking around school looking at them in awe like everyone else, and I was one of them?

I combed my fingers through my hair and sat staring at the birds perching on trees, trying to make sense of everything. “Wow, we’re a very small pack,” I finally said remembering what Arthur said the other day.

“We are Hybrids. We don’t need numbers. We are strong enough as we are, and we have all sworn allegiance to Prince

Eros

I gulped and looked away “Okay, but what’s with Arthur? On what grounds is he angry with me?”

“Remember when I told you that Hybrids are very possessive?” she asked, and I nodded.

“Well, we’re not only possessive of our mates, we are possessive of our pack members tog You might be Eros mate, but Athur sees you as ours.

He and Adonis aren’t happy that you were close to that vampire and others, but not with us.”

My head was spinning “So, you’re telling me that instead of having to deal with one Hybrid, I have three possessive hybrids to deal with?”

“Four, actually, she grinned.

“Beauty! Not you too,”

“You’re one of us. You’re the sister, and girlfriend I never had. So, any threat of you being taken away from us, we just might clear them off.”

I gulped “but I already feel detached from my pack; the silvermoon pack. So there’s no need to get concerned that I’ll be joining any other pack,”

“Maybe, but you being with another male is a threat that you’re being taken away from the pack, especially since Eos hasn’t marked you yet.”

I sighed “But he’s going to mark Susie, even if I’m not with another male,”

She look dumbfounded “What?? Says who?”

“Susie.

“Oh come on. Susie says a lot of things, majorly lies,”

“But there are truths s too,” I insisted

“Truths like?” Beauty tilted her eyebrow

*Like her and Eros being lovers, and them spending alone when you all left..” I muttered

“Eden, they might have an history but I wouldn’t call them lover. It was decades ago.. Eros is not interested in her that way. I suspect that he never was.

I went with them to perform our duties to the kingdom, and one thing I can tell you for a fact is that we were there strictly for it, and not for pleasure.

We were so busy that I barely even saw Adonis,” she explained

“Look Eden, Eos thought of no one else but you during our stay at the palace. In fact, he was so intentional about fast tracking things so he could here back with you. Believe me, there’s no room for anyone else in his heart,”

“But… Susie said,”

“No, don’t listen to that bitch,” she shook her head vehemently. You should talk to Eros first. I know that this might be quite new for you but always talk to your lover first.

Adonis and Eros are the same in the way. They have been alone for too long to understand that we women need explanation

sometimes.

Ask the right question, and he’ll talk. He will tell you the truth, but you have to make him explain…”

“He’s driving me crazy, honestly” I grumbled in frustration.

“I know, right. Adonis does that to me sometimes,” she smiled. “But Eden, you’re driving him crazy too Eros is the most cultured Hybrid I know. He is pure royalty, and brutally powerful

He can’t afford to loose control easily. Lives would be lost, properties destroyed. I’ve never seen Eros lose control more often than these last couple of days because of you,” she said. Then her lips curled up into an amused smile.

“You really did a number on him.

Being around him had been intolerable these last couple of days when the two of you started fighting. Susie was trying to give him a shoulder to lean on… 4 don’t think it got her anywhere she smiled wickedly

“So.. you think he’s with Susie now?” I asked, very jealous

Susie laughed. “I don’t think so… he was pretty pissed when he took off. He’ll take anybody’s head off if anyone dared to get close to him when he’s like that. Even Susie isn’t stupid not to know that.”

1 pouted, and looked away. Beauty turned my face to look at her “If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about Susie, Eden. She’s been trying for over 7 decades. If he wanted her, he would’ve made her his mate a long time ago. Eros is crazy about you, and he is damn loyal too,” she said reassuringly.

Oh goddess, this is a lot for me to take in. So did I get everything wrong? Is Eros faithful to me? Should I believe Beauty over

Susie??

My head hurts from too much thinking.

After our talk, we went back to school and I’scurried home after the closing bell.

Mom was back early and I heard her humming from the kitchen. Not willing to exchange pleasantries or talk… I sneaked. and climbed into my room through the window.

“I have been waiting for you,” Eros drawled, standing inside my bedroom.

I almost fell out of the window.
