The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 28

None of the representatives from the Silvermoon pack or Heartburn Pack seems happy with the outcome of the meeting

When the king and the Hybrids are involved, nobody can do anything but obey. The only person who seemed satisfied with the result is my Aunt; Luna Meredith.

Her niece is claimed by a Hybrid. Her pack now has a connection to royalty, and the King, Which is quite an honor to our family, she claimed.

Aunt Meredith walked out of the meeting room looking extremely proud and pleased. The elders of the werewolf council look upset, and Theo looks furious.

I watched my mom, Aunt Meredith. An elder of the werewolf council, Lord Tombull, Eros, Arthur, and Adonis talk outside the building.

I stood under a tree, away from everybody else. Beauty stood beside me, looking so calm and elegant.

“How did you and Adonis meet?” I asked her curiously.

She smiled We met at a market in the 18’s,” she said.

“I was almost 19, I had no family apart from an aunt and my uncle who raised me. I hadn’t yet found my mate and was about to be forced to mate with a man 15 years my senior. Adonis just appeared out of nowhere… I thought him to be the most beautiful looking man I’d ever seen. I could’t take my eyes off of him. I thought that if I blinked, he’d disappear,” she laughed softly.

“We mated and marked each other soon after we met. He took me away from there. Here I am with him now. The only place I want to be is with him.”

That p

got me thinking about me and Eros. I know I asked for time… But I think I am ready to mated and marked by him now. Question is, how do I tell him that I am ready? I can’t just bring the subject up. It would be embarrassing.

“What are you thinking? You’re blushing again,” Beauty gave a knowing smile.

“Errm,” I stuttered “Eros and I haven’t mated or marked each other yet. I told him I’d like some time…”

“And let me guess, now you’re ready,” she tilted her eyebrows.

Then she cleared her throat “Tell you what, it’s really hard for them to wait. Hybrids instinct just like werewolves is to mark and mate with their mates right away. It doubles for them if I may say… I think Erps is trying to show you how far he’s willing to go for you even if it kills himn.

He just needs a little signal, or an encouragement, that’s all…”

“How do I give him a signal?”

She giggled, and whispered wickedly in my ear, “you simply seduce him.”

Woahhhhhh.

Suddenly, Eros leaves the

group. His blue

eyes zoned on me like he knew where I was the whole time.

He gallantly walked towards me, and my heartbeat accelerated.

His hair was mused up sexily, wind–blown. His suit, impeccable, gulped, unable to look away.
