The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 73

[Eros Pov

The dance with Eden had driven my beast on the edge. My hybrid was getting harder to control and my restraint was slipping day by day as she’s just a few rooms away from me, right under my roof.

I had every right to touch her, to claim her as a king maybe, but it felt awfully wrong. She wasn’t using her body or looks to woo me, yet I was feeling attracted to her.

And my beast was making things hard for me with his constant bickering. That’s also why I wanted to find a solution to his growing attitude.

It was as if I was not only at war with the outside world but also with my Hybrid. What Beauty had been saying so far of my hybrid wanting to take control had seemed like a situation that was decades away, but from the past few weeks, I began to notice that it was already unfolding.

Hence, I had reluctantly agreed to go to the ball, but Eve doesn’t make me feel the way Eden does. What’s so special in her?

And Eden had looked absolutely gorgeous in that off shoulder dress of hers that I was itching to tear away off her body and take a look at the glory hidden beneath it.

So, I was totally taken off guard when I found her lying on the ground, howling in pain. I tore off her clothes, just as she asked, but she was in too much pain for me to even focus on her body.

She was frail and tiny, that I wanted to kiss and take away all her pain. And those sweet little breasts were perfect for me squeeze and play with.

“King Eros, so do you agree to the deal?” I heard a voice speaking to me, but I was too busy imagining how it would feel to kiss those perky little breasts of hers.

“Huh? What?” I asked, and Alpha Lucas tried not to frown.

“The deal, King. I am supposed to have a meeting with the rogue leader and placate him.”

“Hmm, well, if you cannot put sense into him, I can simply put his head on a spike to show his minions what it means to go against us.” Alpha Lucas leaned forward, his brows furrowed.

“You do understand, but that will only make another one take his place and start this all over again. It isn’t necessary for you to step in every little fight and take off those filthy rogues. They are beneath you, King”

He said while looking around the table where the other alphas were seated. I stole a glance at my beta, who gave me a subtle nod, wanting to agile with Alpha Lucas.

“Very well. Have your friendly conversation with this leader and ensure that he learns to watch his step because I am not very lenient when it comes to giving out punishment. I warned him and gave me a short bow.

“Very well, KingTM
