The Beta’s Regret

As I looked at Eros stopping Pison's hand, I gulped. There was something insanely sexy about the way he defended Lily.

My eyes roamed over his body, under the naked blood moon, and my heart fluttered.

My lips parted slightly as I watched him, familiar tingles of excitement racing through me in waves.

I closed my eyes and slowly bit my lips. I shouldn't be doing this, lusting over Eros when the fate of the kingdom rested on us.

We had more serious things to attend to at the moment. And getting rid of Pison was the priority.

I looked around, as thoughts of Zion filled my mind. If Eros was here, that would mean that Zion was too. And I was right.

My eyes landed on Zion in Lamia's arm at a distance. It was a comforting sight, seeing Lamia hold the

child lovingly in her arms. She looked like Zion's big sister. Lamia looked up at the same time and smiled softly at me.

"The goddess has given you the power you need, use it" I heard Lamia's voice in my head before she disappeared into the shadows.

It was clear that Lamia would not involve herself in this fight. Her only priority was my son, Zion, chosen by the goddess herself.

I sighed and allowed myself to focus on myself. It was hard, considering the chaos that broke out around

me.

I looked up at the chair that held me in place. My skin stung at the point where the chains touched me.

I pulled hard, trying to see if it would come off. It didn't budge.

I tried again, and all I felt was a sharp pain as the silver burnt through my skin, the wolfsbane making it excruciatingly painful.

I screamed, and gave up, my shoulders falling in defeat as I took a few minutes to breathe and recover myself.
