The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 112

| almost slowed down completely and stood stupidly by a green bush, wondering about what Eros thought of me.

But Olivia calledup from a little farther ahead, “Eden, con. What are you waiting for?”

| looked up and replied. “Nothing” and joined her shortly.

“Don’t worry Most late bloomers get to meet their wolf. In fact, heard of someone who awakened their wolves

when they almost reached the age of 30” she said, patting my back reassuringly.

Her statement was no help. | wondered if there was something we, Eros, Arthur, Adonis, Lyra, Tom. if they was

something we did to warrant this punishment from the moon goddess.

“Oh don’t worry, you'll be fine. Even if you awaken the wolf late, nobody is going to laugh at you” she said again.

But on another note, was she dismissingas a potential threat because she realized that | had trouble

shifting?

She was there at the party when Eros foundwrithing on the ground and tookto my room.

Certainly, words would have slipped also that | was a late bloomer. That could explain why she was suddenly

being sweet to me. Though her kindness felt more like pity to me.

| tried t to keep a straight face as we completed the lap and reached Arthur a few minutes later.

By the twe got to him, | was panting and gasping for breath felt so exasperated that I looked for a tree to

lean on.

Meanwhile, Olivia looked like she had not even walked a few meters much less jogged the entire lap with me.

She stood happily chatting with Arthur as they both took a sip from their bottles and then competed with each

other to find. out who had the biggest biceps.

That scene was a little amusing and | grabbed a towel, slowly wiping out the sweat, as Arthur gave her a few tips

too

| noticed the way she easily slipped her hand in his when she almost lost her balance while trying to do a difficult

step.

Sigh.

She was not at fault if | was a weak girl. | was a weak girl before Eros cinto the picture in my other life. |

should focus was onbecoming strong and not get jealous of her good looks, physique, and confidence.

Now the sun had risen up and we were feeling the heat as we trained on the open ground. | saw a few servants

pass by and they all bowed politely to Arthur and also Olivia.

A few looked at me, and merely smiled or just walked away. Maybe, | was the real odd one here.

Arthur's gaze fell onand he asked, “Should we call it a day already? You seen a little tired.”

| took a sip from the bottle, not wanting to give up so easily though my feet had begun to ache a little.

“No, we can move to the next workout if you wish.”

Olivia looked atwith approval “She is right. Don’t you undermine her”

Arthur made a face. “Now you girls are just ganging up against me.”

| smiled as Olivia cnearto stand besideand slap my shoulder

“You just wait till the treaty is signed. Once | marry Eros and move in here, we both are going to make you do a

hundred laps”

She turned to look atwith an excited smile, “Right girl?”

My lips stayed glued. How could she say that? Then something caught my eye in the far back. A wall of muscle

was walking. towards us, and my attention slowly drifted to him.

| could only stare at him.

He was the man who always made my breath hitch whenever he showed up.

From the hallway that opened up to the front yard. | saw Eos walking forward. He was on the phone, talking to

someone, and was oblivious to my presence.

| simply kept looking at him as he strode forward with a relaxed posture. His hair looked wet, and he was

roaming his hands through those soft, silky strands while taking slow strides.

But that was not what hadgawking at him. He was also in gym wear and goodness he looked fine.

The black t-shirt perfectly covered his broad chest and seemed like it was tailor made to fit his body. And those

black gym shorts showed how perfectly sculpted his entire body..

How could someone look like they spent all their day working in the office, yet look as if they had been sweating

tirelessly in the gyn

Fros disconnected the call and slipped the phone into his pockets as he reached the door. | was standing a little

to the side.

All this time, Olivia was talking excitedly with Arthur, who responded kindly to her. | doubted Arthur would ever

be rude to

anyone

He was always sweet and caring, just like my mother. He was a nice person to hang around with.

Eros walked down the small flight of stairs, and Arthur bowed to him almost instinctively “Good morning, King”

Olivia perked up upon seeing Eros and she, too, immediately bowed.

“Good morning. King”

| noticed that she bowed a bit too low for Eros, giving him a nice view of her bosorn that threatened to spill out of

her sports bra.

Eros smiled at them both and replied, “No need to be so formal

Arthur smiled in return, but Olivia immediately sprang up towards him, taking his words to heart. She went near

hinand began talking to him softly, blushing a little.

Arthur got busy on his phone while the two talked, and | noticed the way Eros did not step aside from her.

She was whispering slowly and even reached for his hair to brush off the few drops of water trickling down his

face.

Olivia seemed too confident of her marriage with Eros now that she sensed | was weak, both physically and

mentally.

And | cared, deeply. But didn’t want to show it.

| want to be wanted by him.

Arthur had gotten a call, so he was busy talking to someone and the duo on the other side kept talking.

| simply decided to leave them, and continue the training. | would not sit here and watch the two unfit lovebirds

indulge in

PDA

Thus, | cleared my throat and walked towards Arthur.

“Hey, | think you are going to be busy. So | think we can work out tomorrow.”

Arthur looked up atand gavea small smile. “Yes, | am sorry. | have to finish stasks and also go

round to the pack house.”

| nodded in understanding “Okay,

Arthur showedhis phone. “You have my number. Feel free to callor messageif you need anything.”

“Sure” | said and went back to collect my bottle and towel from the side. And when | looked up, my gaze met

that of Eros.

His blue eyes were staring atand | felt as if | was trapped in his gaze. Those eyes shimmered lightly, the

sun's rays falling on the blue specks and making his eyes look even more mesmerizing.

But after | got over the fact that he was looking at me, | noticed a bit too late that his gaze did not hold an

affection.

It was cold, distant and remote, just like him.

warmth or

Maybe he was not happy that | had not greeted

him. So | gave a short bow and greeted him ‘Good morning, your highness”

Eros did not respond, but neither did he look away. His gaze was unnerving, and | promptly began walking away,

not wanting to be around if he was still being rude.

| had only taken a few steps forward when Olivia suddenly remembered that | existed. She called out my name

shortly.

“Hey Eden, we are not done yet.”
