The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 40

I slept sadly again last night. All I could think about was Eros, and how much I had missed him.

I miss him so much that my heart twists painfully at the thought of him. It’s even worse than when he left for his Royal duties.

It’s worse because I see him at school, and I’m not with him. It’s pure torture.

I blame him as the reason I woke up late this morning. I refused a lift from Nova because I still want to be alone.

For me, walking and running in my hybrids helps me feel better

Today, I ran all the way to school. All eyes turned to look at me when I entered. I was really late.

I smiled lightly and went to take my seat. I brought my books out, and placed them on the table. Then I caught Nova giving

I beamed at her. The rest of the class went smoothly.

During Lunch break, I sat with my friends; Alice and Nova. It was a beautiful bonding moment as they made me feel better…. just that, I could feel Eros eyes burning through my skull.

Could he just look away? It made me so conscious.

“Hi Eden,” I heard a voice, It was Tom; the fangless vampire in Silvermoon pack. My friends turned to exchange surprised glances.

I forced a smile at him “Hi Tom,”

“Uhm, can I sit with you?” he asked sheepishly.:

Could it be because that he had been watching me, and probably felt he had a chance, that was why he came back?

“Sure,” I nodded.
