The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 12

The glint in his eyes told me that he was just saying what I wanted to hear. Like he’s just giving me the time that I want, but not too long

The aura between us changed after that. Eros made an effort to make me feel more at

it ease around him.

We decided to get to know each other better, while we walk away from the park to my home.

It was surprising on how I was freely able to talk with him. I seemed to be able to make him laugh with my ability to say odd things.

After a while, I forgot how intimidating he could be.

Every now and then, when I glanced up at him, my breath hitched at how perfect he looked. His 6’5 height towers my 57. However, I don’t feel that intimidating, powerful aura anymore. In fact, it felt as though that power was enveloping me.

It made me feel powerful, protected and loved. Like I was part of him. I don’t question it. I decided to enjoy it.

So, it’s my turn. How old are you?” I asked him.

He chuckled “A century?”

My eyes widened “What you don’t say, you look 18,”

He shrugged “Well, we age slower than any breed on the earth,”

“Woah!” I stopped to touch his soft cheeks. He doesn’t look a day over 18.

“Does that affect you?” he asked suddenly

“Nope, it doesn’t. It’s cool as a matter of fact, I giggled “Next question,”

“Uhm, what’s your favorite color?” He asked

“Black, and sapphire blue” I smiled

“The color of my eyes?” He beamed from ear to ear.

I rolled my eyes, and walked faster “cocky, much?” I asked. But he caught up to me.

But it was true. I like Sapphire blue, I like the color of his eyes.

“Next question,” I said
