The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 11

I shook my head quickly. What is he saying?

“I remember the first time I saw you.” he continued “You were 17, still young, beautiful… and fascinating”

Huh? That’s not how I remember it. The first time I saw him; I was clothed in dirty worn–out clothes, was cleaning the floor when I got starstruck by his presence.

It was so embarrassing because I was drooling at him while he stood with King Pison, the Alpha, and his family. I could bet that he didn’t even know I existed.

“There were so many times when I wanted to claim you, but I knew you were so young, and you had been waiting for your

As much as I didn’t want to take that from you, I was hurting inside, and my friends called me stupid. They wanted me to claim you right away.”

He licked his lips “Everything about you, your looks, your voice, your scent, the way you moved was enthralling.

Call me selfish, but before you knew Theo as your mate, I marked you…”

What!

My lips parted in shock. “What are you saying, Eros?”

“I am saying that you are my mate, Eden,”
