The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 126

“Change? In what way?”

“I would have told you, but Eros is the King and he wants to do it when he feels the time is right. I only hope you awaken. your wolf today, so I don’t have to be so tight–lipped around you. She said, and it somehow made me feel both anxious and a bit relieved.

“Are you going to sacrifice me in some ritual?” I teased, and was rewarded with a chuckle.

“Eros doesn’t believe in rituals or sacrifices. He does not even believe in the Moon Goddess anymore. So you don’t have to worry about that.”

Beauty pretended to not hear me. Instead, she walked past me and stood in front of the open wardrobe looking at the clothes.

“Hmm, we have to find something that will show how strong you are”

“I don’t really see the need to dress up” I made the same argument I had shared with Glinds, but Beauty shook her head.

I made a face, but Beauty stuck her tongue out and began pulling out a few dresses for me to wear.

“this looks too formal, she said while picking up a business suit.

“Nah, this one’s too chic” she said, dismissing another, and I kept waiting for her to arrive at a conclusion.

“Can I suggest something?”

“Go on,” she said while still shuffling through the wardrobe.

“Can I wear something that looks like the night

sky?”

Beauty stopped shuffling and looked at me with an amused smile. “As in?”

“As in today is the full moon and I hope just like last time, my wolf shows up and this time I manage to completely shift. So, it would be nice to wear something that makes me look like have draped the night sky. Something with a light dusting of stars… Her smile seemed to widen as I vividly imagined the dress, and I stopped abruptly.

“Did 1 blabber a lot?”

“Not really” She began looking through the blue dresses hanging down in the wardrobe. To be honest, I did not even know there were so many dresses inside the wardrobe.

I would only grab the gymn wear and pajamas.
