The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 118

I looked around, but whoever my savior had been.. was gone. I looked down at my body and the small cuts that had appeared on my arms and legs when the vines thorns had cut me were nowhere to be seen as well.

I rubbed my hands and legs, trying to feel the pain, but there was none either. I looked around wildly again and asked loudly.

“Hello W

Who was that?”

My eyes roamed around nervously and I waited for a reply, but there was silence. Had I imagined all of it? Definitely not.

So I tried again.

“I just wanted to thank you for the help. Thank you for saving me, I said and then a soft voice replied to me.

“Do not mention me to anybody” It seemed to reach my ears from behind. I turned around so fast that I felt I had snapped

my neck

But the direction from which the voice had come was devoid of any living being.

All I could see were leaves and branches. Why was this person playing hide and seek with me?

“B–but why are you hiding from me? L., I am not going to harm you, I offered. I didn’t look like a scary predator, but I could not understand what this person wanted from me.

The voice let out a deep, rumbling laughter. “You cannot harm mac, but the people around you can and will.”

My friends? Eros? Arthur, Beauty?

The voice was speaking mysteriously, and I felt all the more intrigued.

“What people around me? Who will harm you?”

The voice seemed to be of a female, but I could not quite ascertain the age of the woman based on just the voice alone. When I did not receive an answer, I tried again

“My name is Eden. What is yours? And why are you here in the forest? What were those vines?” 1 asked, but the woman dodged my questions and spoke rather.

“Eden. You are in grave danger. Do not trust those around you.”
