The Beta’s Regret

"Eden..."

King Pison purred as he stared at me. He swallowed slightly as his gaze raked across my body length.

My spine crawled with disgust at his attention.

Pison suddenly looked away from me and gave Alpha Griffin his attention. He became more serious as the aura around him darkened.

"What information do you have on other packs?' King Pison asked Alpha Griffin.

I felt a little bit of relief as I realized that this was more like a business meeting more than anything else. For a moment, I imagined that it was a trap, maybe Arthur finally decided to betray me.

I looked at Arthur who gave me a soft smile before shuffling behind King Pison's chair. He looked like a servant. But still, I wondered why they made me sit to listen to them.

Alpha Griffin's voice jerked me back to reality.

"We have everything under control." Alpha Griffin said. "Our men are the ones in charge of every terrority."

"Has there been any form of resistance from the people?" Pison asked

Alpha Griffin nodded slightly. "A few. But we had it controlled immediately."

"What about the Vampires? Have those leeches finally submitted?" King Pison raised a brow.

Griffin chuckled. "Of course. It didn't take us a lot to force them to. Especially with Shevek's coven. All those who resisted were burnt to the ground."

Pison smirked. "I like that."

My face turned white and Alpha Griffin eyed me with a nasty smirk; an expression that suggested that he would take pleasure in squeezing the life out of me if he could.

was clear that Pison now had his men everywhere both in the Vampire's covens and the werewolf packs. He had already stationed his men everywhere who executed his evil plans. "Make sure they do not have a day to themselves, lest they begin to think foolish about fighting back."
