The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 37

During lunch, my friends Alice and Nova joined me at the Hybrid’s table like before. This was however the first time they would be joining the table when Susie is around.

he was very stiff when Arthur and I introduced my friends. She simply scrutinized them from head to toe, like they were

I forced myself to look away. Maybe I am just getting Susie’s expression wrong-

Eros took my hand in his, and leaned down to kiss my neck. He moved my hair to a side and planted soft kisses. I lifted my head up just in time to see Susie watching us with narrowed eyes. Then Eros pulled away still staring at me affectionately.

It was like if he took his gaze elsewhere. I was going to disappear.

We started eating, and only then did I realize that the table was awfully quiet

The Hybrids seemed okay, but my friends were tensed. I could feel a sense of dread hitting me not too long after. Tiara was very uneasy and sad.

dy seemed interested in talking. The feeling increased, and I glanced over at Susie.

She looked innocent, but I could sense the source of coming from her. Then I remembered what Beauty told night, so I closed my eyes and concentrated in trying to project my new Hybrid’s dominance.

Susie stared right at me, and began projecting an even stronger wave of dominance. It was taking more and more out of me to keep my guard up. I felt Tiara’s struggle to keep me protected. This was the first time I had ever done anything like this. Before long, I felt my energy slipping.

My werewolf friends were looking sick and pale. Alice excused herself early, and threw most of her lunch away. Nova soon followed suit.

My friends never throw away good food. We weren’t so buoyant, and now that Eros got for them and myself, they threw it away.

I gritted my teeth, trying to calm myself.

Right after Nova and Alice left the table, Susie smirked at me

“We had fun at the Palace, too bad you couldn’t come with us,” she said, placing her hand on Eros arm

Woah. She went with them?

“That’s good for you. I’m glad you had fun.” I shrugged my shoulders but something twisted in my chest.
