The Beta’s Regret

I nodded meekly, and we began walking inside.

Fros didn’t speak for the entire time as we walked back inside the walls.

But his hand never left mine. And I was busy trying to not melt under his touch while his hand held mine.

His touch was warm and protective, a stark contrast to his body language that was cold and distant.)

When we reached inside the gated compound, he closed the gate and ensured that it was properly locked.

Without a word, he again held my hand, making my heart race, and silently climbed up the stairs, walking all the way up to

my room

When we reached, he made me sit on the bed and pulled a chair in front of me.

I could feel his anger as he leaned forward and

asked. “Where is your phone?”

I didn’t know where it was. I had forgotten all about it.

“It must be in the room.. somewhere.” I mumbled as I attempted to look for it. He scratched his temple and said, “Get it”

Hooked at him warily, but and wondered if I’d kept it in the drawers?

I spent the next five minutes searching for it while he stayed where he was. I could feel the irritation bubbling inside of him as I searched for it.

Finally, I tossed the sheets and saw it under them. Holding it in front of me, I went towards him.

“Open your messages” He ordered, and my heart skipped a beat. I had not deleted my messages with Theo.

What if he saw them? He would skin me alive.

I could guess he was already thinking I had tried to run away for the second time. But how could I not remember to delete it myself?

Also, his body language didn’t make me feel that he was in the mood to listen. I nodded and tapped on the message icon. “Read the message I had sent I gulped and tapped on the message.

“Read it aloud,” He said when I stayed silent.

“Stay in the mansion, I read, and he ordered.

“Repeat it”

“Stay in the mansion”

Good. So you can read. But do you understand what it means?” He asked, and I nodded meekly.

“I only left the mansion when Arthur accompanied me outside, to the pack house. I didn’t even know they all stayed at a different location or where it was. But Eros didn’t seem pleased with it.

“Did you force him to take you there? I know he’s a sweet guy, se he never really says no to anyone.”

I looked at him, scared

“No, in fact, I told him that you would not like it. But he insisted that I should come along since now I am the member of the pack. Eros let out a sigh. “Elder Ruth was not happy with my decision. I had to spend a lot of time to appease her and I promised her that you would not let me down.”

I fidgeted with my fingers “I know nobody likes me here or wants me. And when I think of going away, you don’t like it either.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I blurted it out, but the way his eyes stared at me made me feel nervous.

“I am the Hybrid King. I make the decisions and others follow it Elder Ruth is just too protective of me and the pack and is a little old school.”

I simply nodded, and looked away.

“Why didn’t you reply?” He asked

I furrowed my eyebrows. “Reply to what?”

But he let out a sigh again. To the text message.

Oh.

I didn’t know what to say to that” I answered honestly,

However, his remark was snarky. “Ever heard of the words, yes or okay?”

Tll reply next time,” I mumbled, and he leaned back on the chair.

“Look, you know the rogue King is after you. I am still trying to find out who he is or why. But I guess he wants to get to me through you. The fact that I never take anybody in my pack but I took you makes them think you have a special place in the pack. And I love my pack members and would not want any harm to befall them.”

Was he blaming me for putting his loved ones in danger?

“I did not know you never took anybody in your pack.” I said

“You should better focus on training and becoming physically fit And if you want to run away, be strong enough to not need me to protect you.” He commented rudely.

“I don’t need you to protect me, I snapped, and realized I had raised my voice, but I didn’t care.

He was always so arrogant when he’s around me. It was as if all the sweetness evaporated into thin air whenever he saw me.

Eros raised his finger and began counting, “One; you went to that club and almost got drugged and kidnapped. Two, you went to the forest in the middle of the night and almost got lost tonight. Every time, I had to come to resete you. What are you? A damsel in distress?”

His words were vexing me, and 1 bit back my tongue to not retort angrily.

I have a lot of things to do. And you not having a wolf makes me feel I have to pay more attention to you, like a would have to look at a toddler who keeps running around. It’s exhausting “He said it wearily, and I felt tears brim in my

nanny

“Tam trying, okay? I didn’t ask you to take me in. I did not ask you to keep me in this golden cage of yours. And I did not ask to be a late bloomer either. I want to meet any wolf more than anybody. Arthur is helping me to to train and grow strong And when I do, I will not stay around to annoy you

My hands fisted in the sheets with the effort to not straight up yell at him.

“You could do that right now as well… not annoy me.”

A hint of a smirk crept up his face, which I ignored.

“Either way. I did not come here to chitchat. This lover boy of yours, what was his name again?The one who tried to drug

you,

“He’s not my loyer boy,” I said through gritted teeth.

Eros ignored my tone and muttered. “Your boyfriend, right?”

“He is not my boyfriend and his name is Theo!”
