The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 97

“Please Eden, we’ve known each other for so long. You know how much I care for you…”

But Eros’s confidence was infectious. He stood before Theo firmly, and it felt like he was radiating his confidence and charisma around me as well.

“Yeah, of course. I guess that’s why you wanted to brutally assault me here and even that day at the forest.” I spat venomously, making Theo shrink in regrets.

Eros stared at me in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Theo managed to croak, “Look, you’ve got it all wrong. I did that to protect you, I saw how every pack member were treating you and your mom. I wanted to save you.”

I laughed bitterly. He thinks I am stupid..

Theo literally said one thing at Eros‘ presence and now is saying another. He even tried getting up on his feet, but Eros pushed him back, making him fall on his knees,

Theo did not try getting up, but stayed on the ground while trying to beg for his life.

“My hybrid King, Eden, please forgive me.”

Eros growled, and asked “What is in this injection?” he asked, and Theo put his hands in front of his chest in an effort to shield himself from the hybrid King. His fearful expressions made Eros smirk,

“Oh, I am not going to hurt you for your mistake.

But I like to play fair and it is only fair that you lie here on the floor like a dirty rag, passed out and with the medicine in your stream as I take her back home.”

“N–no, my King That.. that medicine is dangerous. Please don’t

Eros smirked, “Dangerous? How? I thought it made you compliant and dulled your senses.”

Theo shook his head wildly. “No, it makes your brain go fuzzy. It it makes you enter a state of bliss in which you have not control over your body or actions.”

“Even better” Eros smirked, and pulled Theo’s collar down and stuck the iniection in his neck as Theo cried and thrashed against his hold fruitlessly.

“That should serve as a lesson for lying to me and trying to hurt Eden. I would’ve killed you, but I need you as my puppet, so live as long as I let you. Your days are numbered either way.” Eros threw the empty syringe away and looked at me.

“Shall we go home?”

I was shuddering and got up instantly and ran towards him again. However, my knees wobbled as I felt the horror of what would have happened to me had Eros not arrived in time.
