The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 81

Why had I asked him that?

Eros’s lips turned into a smirk as he looked at me, his face shining with amusement. I mean since we had the ball and everything.” I added and realized that it made me sound even more stupid.

Eros’s smirk widened into a grin as he kept looking at me, hoping I would blabber some more.

Thankfully, I realized I was digging my own grave and decided to shut my mouth. Eros was still close to me and I tried to look away from his mesmerizing face, but his eyes held me in a sort of trance, not allowing me to look elsewhere.

“Ah, the mate ball…” He mused and then inched away, giving me room to breathe. My chest was heaving, but I forced myself to focus on the words and not the way his voice sounded.

“Yeah. I figured you met a lot of potential candidates.”

I pretended to sound as if I was all neutral, but deep down I wanted to know what kind of girl he really wanted in this life.

In the two weeks or months that I had been here, I had only seen him focus on work and ignore everything else.

This man was literally sculpted to perfection by the Moon Goddess, yet he could not have a mate. That meant every girl saw it as an opportunity to throw herself at him and hope that he chose her.

Despite the ball yesterday, I didn’t hear any kind of announcement or servants whispering among themselves that he had picked someone.

My chances were not even in the minus, so I wanted my stupid mind to really hear his words and understand he was off- limits.

Eros scratched his chin and replied. “Hmm, I never gave it much of a thought. But, since you are such an expert at reading people, maybe you can answer on my behalf

He spoke in a leisurely voice, his finger trailing the edge of the chair he usually sat on

“Uh, well, since you are the King, you would obviously want a girl who is fit to be a Queen.”

He folded his hands on the chair’s edge and propped his head on it, his chin resting on his folded hands as he seemed to listen to me intently.

The way he looked at me made him look so dreamy and cute. I shook my head and reached for a pen to give my hands to do something.

“Go on. He urged me and I played with the pen, trying to hide my nervousness as I continued,

“So, you obviously need the girl to be drop dead gorgeous but also someone who is empathetic, lovable, and makes the subjects feel as if they are cared for

“Empathetic and lovable?” Eros asked with a raised eyebrow, “I am not known to be either of those, so I don’t think anybody expects me to choose such a girl”
