The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 124

I gulped nervously.

There was no point in hiding anymore, so I slowly stepped out of my hiding spot. Eros’s gaze was intense, and I saw the way he looked up at me from head to toe.

Maybe he was checking if I had skipped a workout because he was not around. My clothes and the hair plastered to my temples should be enough proof that I had diligently worked out even if he was not around.

Arthur waved at me upon seeing me. Eros looked at the him and said, “People don’t believe I play fair, and I can tackle you. So, go change, we are going to have a little spar.”

My eyes went wide at those words. He had not taken my name, but I knew it was directed at me

“Who is mad enough to say that?” Arthur asked, but Eros shrugged.

“People think it is easy to become a King and rule a kingdom. Sometimes you have to answer those doubts. Are you ready for a spar?” He asked.

This was a silly act. If his pride was hurt by my words, he could have just snapped at me like he always did.

Why did he have to put up a show? Especially with all the pack members around. Elder Ruth would simply tear me apart if she learned I was the reason her lunch had been delayed.

“Uh, but we have the entire pack in the garden. They expect lunch to be served soon, King Arthur tried to reason, but Eros shook his head.

“The fight won’t last long either way. Let’s go outside”

He said without looking at me and stepped out of the main door and climbed down the short flight of stairs.

Arthur didn’t say anything. He just went upstairs to keep the file in the office, as it was something important.

That left me staring at the broad back of Eros. Seeing that there was nobody around, I went near him and murmured. “Uh, you don’t have to do this. I was just annoyed when I said that. But Eros only rolled up his sleeves.

“If even the weakest member of my pack question my strength and let it slide, it will make more people question my leadership. Not the first time that this is happening, either.”

1 felt a little hurt when he called me the weakest member of his pack, but I couldn’t deny it at the time. But what got me wondering were his next words of people questioning his leadership.

I didn’t know the details, but the line was enough to tell me that he had slept over that fact and my remark had hit a nerve. “Please don’t do this, I began, but in an instant he pulled me away from the entrance and I felt my back softly hit the outer
