The Beta’s Regret

My gaze shifted to Eve, who was staring daggers at me. She had been trying so hard to make Eros only focus on her, but somehow his gaze had found me, and I couldn’t say no when he asked me to dance.

My heart was thudding wildly as he held me close and I inhaled his domineering scent.

Eros was slow, and patiently guided me to dance with him, though I accidentally stepped on his foot once or twice.

Everything felt so new.. like Eros and I were rewriting new chapters of our lives.

“Sorry.” I mumbled, but he shook his head.

“No need to be. Plus, I know you dance very well when you aren’t dressed in a flowy gown. Maybe you’re more comfortable in a towel,” he grinned mischievously,

My eyes went wide at his statement, and he took as cue to slam my body against his.

I gasped due to the unexpected move and almost lost my balance, but his hands immediately snaked around my waist, traveling up my back to hold me in place. I shivered due to the intimate touch and tried hard to conceal the blush rising up my cheeks. Things were happening to fast, or wasn’t this what I wanted?

My gaze fell on Eve, who was fuming, and if looks could kill, she would’vestabbed me a hundred times.

Eros kept twirling me and pressing me on his body, and I forgot how to breathe. His touch was doing things to me, making me enjoy the way he held me and picked me up by my waist and circle around before he put me down on the ground again. In our previous lives, I don’t remember if we ever danced in a ball before.

My breathing was labored, and I struggled to stand straight. Eros raised an eyebrow, “Looks like you need a break”

I smiled and tried to hide how shaky my knees were. It wasn’t because of the dance, but because of having him so close to me. Every time he touched me, it sent sparks all over my skin, tingling down to my core. I only felt this way when we were mates, but now that it’s happening, I was even more confused.

Thus, I gave him a weak smile and headed towards a nearby table to sit and relax. Seeing that Eros was finally free, a few more girls approached to dance with him, but he shook his head and looked at me once to check if I was okay.

I gave him a thumbs up and he went to talk to the alphas while I sat quietly by the table.

Eve ran after him after giving me a scathing look and I rubbed my neck that felt a little sore after all the twirling.

Then a little fight seemed to break out within two packs and soon, most of the men went to sort it out. Meanwhile, I went to the bar and decided to drink something. The bartender who was a young man, probably in his early 20s only smiled genuinely when he saw me.

“Hello, do you have some water?‘I asked him, and he shook his head.
