The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 1

“Eden Willow! Hurry up or you will get us all punished,” I heard my mother yell

I fought the urge to smirk as I stood before the mirror, admiring the blue dress I wore. It was my favorite wear, and I could tell that Theo was going to love it.

Today was Lyra’s 18th birthday and her father, Alpha Griffin was throwing a huge party for the entire pack in her honor.

Anyone would be shocked to learn that I was excited about the party because Lyra had been nothing but cruel to me. She has hated me for as long as I can remember, and her minions never fail to hit me at will.

The hate feeling was mutual. I hated her for always picking on me, and making my life hell at school and everywhere. She: the Queen Bee of the Mystic Claws & Fangs Academy practically ruled my life.

Well, until Theo came into the picture… hmm, credit to the Moon goddess for gifting me such a delicious mate, I purred, wrapping my hands over my body as he did last night.

Theo had assured me that he was going to make our relationship public today, Theo is the most handsome guy in our entire pack, and the Beta’s son, considering that he was next in line to be Beta.

We have been together for a month after finding out on my birthday that we were mates. He made me promise not to tell anyone about us, he wanted to do it at the right time.

Then last night as he removed my undergarments and kissed me under the moonlight, he vowed “I am going to make you mine- because tomorrow, I will tell the pack about us,”

“Really?” I gasped, hugging his bare back tightly as he felt my core,

“Yes, baby,”

Last night was pure bliss. It was everything I imagined my first to be.

“Eden!!!” my mother yelled angrily, disrupting me from my reverie

“I’m coming. Mom,” I answered, grabbing my coat from the chair as I hurried downstairs.

A knock came to my head. I turned to look at my mother. “Mom” I groaned, feeling where she knocked me, but she stomped out of the house in annoyance with my baby sister trailing after her.

“I am sorry, mom I hurried to catch up with their pace, Olivia, my baby sister, gave me a cold glare but I stuck my tongue. at her and hugged my mother from behind.
