The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 108

My ears twitched at that name. Arthur promptly disconnected the call while I stood staring at him in surprise.

Were my ears deceiving me?

“Did you get a scolding again from the King?” I asked, pretending to not have heard him take some other name.

Arthur slipped the phone in his jeans pocket and mumbled, “Oh not really. The King had to leave for some urgent meeting and Olivia does not want me to disturb them.”

My face fell.

“Oh, I didn’t know she was a part of official meetings.”

I commented.

Arthur shrugged. “Her father is respected among all the packs. You could say that other than Eros himself, the other alphas listens to her father. So, it is important that the two work closely together

I nodded bat had to ask. “But why would King Eros and Olivia need an alliance? He’s strong and powerful on his own.”

It is sad that in this life. Olivia and I share different families.

“He is. No doubt about that. But the rogue king has been terrorizing a lot, making the king feel that he needs help.”

Eros had always thought of himself as invincible, untouchable.

Arthur then added. “It is not his own life that he fears, but his friends and close ones. There were sudden attacks that almost killed Beauty. And after that, he invested a lot of time and money in devising new strategies and upgrading the security of the packhouse and this mansion as well.”

Tunderstand. He is responsible for everyone’s safety, not just his own pack.”

Arthur agreed. “Yes, and as much as I would like to keep you company, I have things to do. It is almost evening now, so you could probably take a stroll through the garden or just rest a linle-

“Sure” I replied

I had coerced him to be with me all day, but I knew I couldn’t keep him around 24/7. Plus, I did not want Olivia to snap at

him for no fault of his.

Thus, I did not pester him more. After he left, I walked towards my room, but everything around me reminded me of the arrogant hybrid.

Icould see his office as I climbed up the stairs and recalled the way his hands had caressed me when I had spilled hot tea all over, then I reached my room where I had begged him to sate my heat.

I groaned in frustration.
