The Beta’s Regret

(King Pison's Pov)

Finally, she was inside.

I could smell her intoxicating scent mixed heavily with the smell of crowberries all the way from the inner chamber.

I almost laughed out loud at the thought. Of course! She must have tried hard to mask her scent just so she could escape my guards; that was smart, but it would never work for a wolf as powerful as I was.

I was no longer a mere hybrid wolf. I had Hades' power coursing through my veins, and nothing could ever skip my notice except I chose to let it, just like how Hades had informed me the minute Eden entered palace territory. I became curious if she would be able to evade my rogues and get to me.

Well, she did.

I sniffed, and a slight shiver ran through me at the scent. Even with the Crowberries, her scent still excited me.

I got out of bed, and a maid rushed to my side and bowed slightly as she obediently followed behind me.

When we got out of the inner chambers, other maids who had been drawing a bath for me rushed to my side.

I smirked. I was sure Eden could see all of this. This was the kind of life she would get if she became mine.

"Leave everyone." I said in a dismissive tone. I could sense the doubt among the maids, but they wasted no time in obeying my command.

They knew what it would mean: immediate punishment.

As soon as the maids were out, I turned in the direction I knew Eden hid. I lifted my arms and allowed the towel around my waist to fall to my feet, baring myself before Eden.

I heard her squeak, obviously shocked at what I just did. I smirked.

I took another sniff and noticed that aside from Eden's scent, there was another. I felt my protective instincts stir. My pup.

"I know you are here; I can smell you. Come out." I said.
