The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 113

She grabbed my hand and whispered. “I told you he doesn’t like lazy people”

Had she just called me lazy? 1 worked like a slave all day in my pack and barely survived on crumbs, yet never failed to perform my duties.

Eros walked away and headed towards the inside of his mansion while Olivia began dragging me to wherever they were going

Eros soon entered a huge, spacious room that I found out to be gym.

“Ooh, are we going to train here today, King?” Olivia asked excitedly.

Eros looked at her and replied, “Yes, if some persons can keep up with me”

I felt somehow that the snide remark was for me. Olivia suppressed a chuckle at the way he was behaving and then urged me to get going.

But I was too busy staring at the huge place. It seemed never ending. There were machines and equipment, all looking shiny and brand new, while a soft carpet covered the gigantic space.

There was a floor length mirror on one of the walls that ran along the length of it and a separate section in a corner was where all the dumbbells and other accessories were kept.

This is Eros’s personal training space. You better start moving” She whispered, but I clearly did not feel her excitement. He was the King so wasn’t he supposed to have all the luxuries? What was so special about it?

I looked around, spotted a treadmill, and hopped on it.

Olivia’s mischievous grin was barely detectable as she leaned in close to me, her voice a low murmur that dripped with challenge.

“Hey, Eden, bet you can’t outlast me on the treadmill.”

I arched an eyebrow, locking my eyes with Olivia.

Seriously this girl was being super weird today.

“I agree” I replied and hopped on the treadmill.

Though in my head I said, “Go wag your tail in front of your arrogant hybrid king instead of talking to me. And, though it hurt to admit it, that was the truth. She had a wolf, I didn’t.”

She was supposed to be stronger and tougher than me.

Olivia might have said something but I did not hear the words as the sound of the music system turning on distracted me. And I was thankful for that.

While I fumbled with the numerous buttons and figured out how to get the treadmill working, she walked around merrily and turned the music systein on.

My gaze drifted to Eros while trying to turn on the stupid machine, I think he noticed I was having troubles but he did not try to help. In fact, he looked away when our gazes inet.

“Oh come on, girl. I will not use iny wolf strength, I promise. Just want to give you some motivation
