The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 112

I almost slowed down completely and stood stupidly by a green bush, wondering about what Eros thought of me.

But Olivia called me up from a little farther ahead, “Eden, come on. What are you waiting for?”

I looked up and replied. “Nothing” and joined her shortly.

“Don’t worry Most late bloomers get to meet their wolf. In fact, heard of someone who awakened their wolves when they almost reached the age of 30” she said, patting my back reassuringly.

Her statement was no help. I wondered if there was something we, Eros, Arthur, Adonis, Lyra, Tom. if they was something we did to warrant this punishment from the moon goddess.

“Oh don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Even if you awaken the wolf late, nobody is going to laugh at you” she said again.

But on another note, was she dismissing me as a potential threat because she realized that I had trouble shifting?

She was there at the party when Eros found me writhing on the ground and took me to my room.

Certainly, words would have slipped also that I was a late bloomer. That could explain why she was suddenly being sweet to me. Though her kindness felt more like pity to me.

I tried t to keep a straight face as we completed the lap and reached Arthur a few minutes later.

By the time we got to him, I was panting and gasping for breath felt so exasperated that I looked for a tree to lean on.

Meanwhile, Olivia looked like she had not even walked a few meters much less jogged the entire lap with me.

She stood happily chatting with Arthur as they both took a sip from their bottles and then competed with each other to find. out who had the biggest biceps.

That scene was a little amusing and I grabbed a towel, slowly wiping out the sweat, as Arthur gave her a few tips too

I noticed the way she easily slipped her hand in his when she almost lost her balance while trying to do a difficult step.

Sigh.

She was not at fault if I was a weak girl. I was a weak girl before Eros came into the picture in my other life. I should focus was on me becoming strong and not get jealous of her good looks, physique, and confidence.

Now the sun had risen up and we were feeling the heat as we trained on the open ground. I saw a few servants pass by and they all bowed politely to Arthur and also Olivia.

A few looked at me, and merely smiled or just walked away. Maybe, I was the real odd one here.

Arthur’s gaze fell on me and he asked, “Should we call it a day already? You seen a little tired.”
