The Beta’s Regret

(Eros Pov)

The moment Beast took over, the fight between Pison and I became intense.

Pison was a tough match. He wasn't tired, and he kept oozing a dangerously dark aura that was freezing. Each of us exchanged blows as our wolves snapped at each other.

Neither one of us had the upper hand as Pison channelled his strength and powers to suppress me but it was fruitless.

I still had the powers from the royal ritual, and something more different... the power of the moon goddess.

As we fought, it was a battle between light and darkness. Pison radiated Hades' power while I radiated the moon goddess' power.

There was sudden peace, and then storm all through the fight. The clouds would close over the bright moon and then open up again. The wind blew so hard I felt it would sweep us away, but suddenly it would

calm again.

The clouds were darker on the other side of the field, and while I fought with Pison, I saw bright flashes of light that made me realize that greater forces were also engaged in this battle.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked with a growl when Pison missed a blow to my head.

"You need to die for me to have everything I want." Pison roared.

I pushed against him in defense when he bared his fangs to take a bite of my flesh.

We ran at each other again and met in armlock as we both struggled to outdo the other.

"You are still cursed, Eros! And I will take delight in killing you as I did before!" Pison said with a grin

A fury burned in me and I was ready to unleash it on him. I lounged myself at him, trying to bite and claw at his skin but Pison predicted most of my movements.
