The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 60

The moon lit up his body. His black fur glowed silvery in the moonlight. | immediately picked up the clothes

scattered on the ground to cover my body.

The Lycan turned his head. His gray eyes were full of danger.

Its big head sniffed at me. | closed my eyes and dared not move. His fur brushed my body and sent shivers down

my spine, and his rapid breathing seemed to carry sparks. Suddenly, he lets out a roar in the direction of Theo's

escape.

“Whooooooo!” The Lycan’s howl was so loud that the trees in the forest trembled. It felt so familiar, and angry,

makingconfused the more.

The Lycan seemed a little agitated, and he spun aroundon the ground. His tail made circles on the ground as

if | were his prey. His grey eyes were glued to mine. | lay still in his circle, trying not to move. But he was

unhappy with me.

| prayed that he would sense that | was an omega or, that maybe | was not his food.

The Lycan got closer and closer, makingto curl up little by little until | could no longer curl up.

He lowered his head and touched my cheek with his wet nose. His gray eyes were like glass, reflecting my

disheveled state on the ground. | looked over my shoulder and could see the saliva on his fangs.

I blacked

Few minutes later, | found myself sprawled on the ground in the forest. | felt warm, like someone cuddled me.

| slowly made my way back to the party. As | approached, | felt that something was wrong.

The party, which was supposed to be very lively, was very quiet at the moment, and the atmosphere was so

heavy that everyone was very careful. There was an invisible stiffness in the air. | was going to hide out at the

party so that even if Theo found me, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me. | could guarantee my safety

before any of Eros people leave. Hopefully he still recognizes, and wants me.

My heart twisted painfully at the thought that he may never. What if the moon goddess totally altered

everything? And why am | the only who have fragments of my past life. My past life seem to be better than this

one.

Everyone was sitting nervously in their seats, the servants were quietly retiring, and | had to keep myself quiet

so as not to

be seen

| stared hard at my long-lost lover, Eros. The only being that gets me. My one true love.

He was clothed in a golden colored regalia, his hair still mused up sexily.

| fought the urge not to run and jump at him as he sits on the chair prepared for him, like a throne. He looked

too. breathtaking, causing my breath to hitch.

| wondered also where Arthur, Adonis and Beauty was? How quickly had my world gone dark... why did the moon

goddess

do this to me?

Alpha Griffin was speaking “King Eros, what are you talking about? What do you mean you didn’t get what you

wanted?” | stared, confused..

After a brief silence, his deep but powerful voice rang out across the hall. “Your Luna promiseda pure Alpha

breed for a wife, but | can smell that she isn’t pure: There is someone else | want,”

Lyra’s glittering birthday crown on her head, suddenly seemed too heavy for her. She lowered her head slowly,

“Your Highness,” she said sultrily, “You haven't really looked at me. I'm the one you need. I'm a pure, untainted

Alpha breed she begs, leaning to Eros’s side. My stomach dipped in hurt.

The red fishtail dress fitted her perfectly at the waist, and her long legs, seemed to exude a sensual temptation

that made it impossible for one to take their eyes off her. She sat sideways on the arm of King Eros’ chair, her

glass touching his glass of

wine.

1 watched her try to put her body in a graceful pose. The soft, submissive gesture; the lure of the she-wolf.

After a while, King Eros showed no sign of refusing. His silence eased the atmosphere a little, except for another

Lycan, who was dressed in black next to him, and seemed to loss for words.

It seemed that the royal king mightbe succumbing to Lyra’s seducing prowess, because Luna Belle’s face began

to turn better, and joy filled her face.

“Hahaha, | told you this was a misunderstanding. My honored guests, thank you for coming to the party. Please

try the wine I've prepared for everyone!”

At last there was a sense of joy in the hall, and the guests began to shout at each other.

The King Eros men were dressed distinct from the other guests. They were clothed in black outfits, and were

eating with a cold expression on their faces. Apart from themselves, they didn’t talk to anyone out of their circle.

| think now is the tthat | disappear away from their sight. | should sneak out of this pack and move

somewhere else, maybe even meet a witch or someone that can helpget my old life back.

| began to duck my head and cover myself hastily among the throng of servants.

“Ah!” Lyra screamed, interrupting the moment, | quickened my pace the more, wanting to be out of this territory.

| wa going to find us a solution, once and for all.

“Stop right there!” King Eros’s voice rang out suddenly, silencing the noisy crowd. The moving maids

immediately stood where they were. | also had to stand, head down in the crowd, hoping that no one would

notice me

Eros, who had been silent, suddenly stood up. He slowly extended his long hand and then pushed Lyra away,

Eros leaned over Lyra, frowning and sniffing. Suddenly there was a flash of sharpness in his

cyes.

“Your Highness?” Lyra had never been in such a sorry state before. She fell to the ground and the red wine in her

glass splashed all over her.

And the crown fell from her head. Its bright light caught everyone's eye, and it fell down the steps and onto the

floor of the hall. After a few more turns, it stopped in front of me.

“Eden?” Alpha Griffin recognized me. He frowned in confusion and impatience.

The crowd’s gaze made my hair stand on end, and | felt a cold sweat on my back. It was like an arrow nailing me

in place.

The pair of gray eyes that | seem to be seeing in my dream, met mine again.

“Eros,” my lips mutter.

Eros slowly cout of the Shadows. He was still my tall, gorgeous looking creature. His black boots beat

rhythmically on the smooth floor, and he moved closer and closer to me.

The candlelight added a shallow golden glow to his appearance, looked at his black hair, his gray eyes, his nose,

and broad shoulders. His lips were pressed together, and the seriousness of his expression caused everyone to

bow their heads in fear at first sight of him, in a sign of submission to his majesty.

Even in this life, my mate is still so special.

“Are you Eden?” He leaned forward, close to my face.

“Yes, Your Highness.” | mustered the courage to look him straight in the eye. | knew my cheeks were now beet

red. The corners of his mouth lifted, and he bent down to pick up the crown from the ground and put it on my

head.

| stood there as if struck by lightning. I didn’t know what it meant, but | saw Lyra’s jealous face as she stood from

the Alpha Griffin, and Luna Belle’s wide-eyed stare, and the gasps of shock from everyone.

Lyra suddenly screamed hysterically, “That's impossible. How could it be that omega? That's impossible. You

must be mistaken, your highness. She is a weakling who cannot give good pups like | can,”

King Eros frowned and narrowed his eyes at Alpha Griffin “So, are you questioning my choice?” He said in a
