The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 130

[Eros Pov]

| could only stare at Eden as she slowly opened the doors and took slow, deliberate steps inside. | soon lost the

ability to speak as my eyes roamed over her.

Words were not enough to describe how stunning and breathtaking she was looking My gaze slowly traveled up

the footwear she was wearing, up the slit of her dress that stopped just at her mid thigh, temptingto touch

her, to feel that skin under my fingers.

She was the very definition of beautiful and sexy. The dark blue gown she was wearing accentuated her curves,

fitting her like a glove as she walked in, looking at the men seated at the table.

Her large eyes were darting around nervously, as if she was looking for something. And that was good because it

allowedto feast on the splendor in front of me.

All this time, | had only seen her in simple dresses, pajamas, or gym wear. There was just one night when she

had worn a short dress and that night | had almost taken her by the lake, not being able to control myself.

Since that day, I'd been trying to put up a wall between us. But its been agonizing for me, especially when

Bewity suspected that | had began to see her. Eden, in a new light

But Eden was never meant to be a breeder. She was meant to be queen and rule my heart, rule me.

The slow sounds of her heels echoed through the room and I just gawked at her, unable to tear my eyes from her

beautiful figure And either she was too naive to not know what she was doing or was an expert at charming. The

blue dress she was wearing caught light whenever she moved, and it twinkled in the light, shining like a dusting

of stars in the night sky.

God damn, she was a siren. A temptress, my eyes gazed fondly at the cleavage, lettingget just a peek of her

fresh skin. | had to hold on to the armrest of the chair firmly

so as to not just walk up and kiss those damn lips of hers that were smiling nervously. Her gaze traveled through

the entire foom and settled on me.

And | did not break eye contact. Beast let out a low growl when she blushed, a rosy tint appearing on her cheeks

as she smiled shyly and looked down, fidgeting with her dress. Her shoulders were bare and her silky hair fell in

waves upon her shoulders

It was too much to bear.

“Mine, Beast growled in my head and | couldn’t counter that. But could that mean that she’s no, not at all, she

can’t be my mate. I'm cursed not to have one.

| forced myself to think clearly, and then | heard a breathless whisper beside me.

“Woah” Arthur was staring at her, boldly, if | might add. He even got up from his seat and quickly went towards

her.

“Hey Eden, come, He said and held out a hand to her. She gave him a nervous smile and slipped her hand in his.

A hot wave of jealousy crept up my heart when | saw that. | quickly tried to ignore it. Then | looked around and

realized that | wasn’t the only one who had been staring like that at her.

Almost everymale in this room was looking at her with a tinge of desire shining in their eyes

| tried not to show how it affectedand got up from my seat. dearing my throat loudly. The others had been

caught in a stupor and there had been a stunned silence all around us for a few minutes.

The sound | made was enough to distract the others, all of whom blinked rapidly and then looked atwith

flushed cheeks.

Arthur was still holding Eden’s hand as he guided her to an empty chair and helped her sit on it.

Nobody except the ranked members of the packs were ever allowed a seat in the meeting of the leaders.

But she was the first tankless or newest girl to have been invited. And it would be rude and impolite to keep such

a Goddess standing on her feet.

Arthur had opened his mouth to introduce her but one look fromhad him shutting up.

Good. | thought in satisfaction. But then it struckthat | was getting jealous of my own Beta for being so

easygoing and effortless with her?

He was like that with everyone, so it was not his fault.

And technically, | had asked him to pay attention to her but then | had made him leave to keep an eye on rogue

activity.

“Liar. you didn’t want him around her Beast teased but | ignored him. Everybody's attention turned toas |

announced. “This is Eden Willow, the newest member of my pack.” The one sitting the closest to her spoke,

“Greetings Ms. Eden, | am Alpha Rowell of the Moonlight pack.

Seeing him everybody else followed suit and promptly began to introduce themselves. | tried not to roll my eyes

at them.

Just a moment ago, all of them had been worried about the pack and rogue attacks and just the arrival of a

beautiful woman. they'd all changed to puppies needing attention.

Eden

The thought of her meeting her mate and slinking in the arms of any other male madewant to break

something. What was this girl doing to me?

And as if to prove my point, one of the beta sitting in the far corner asked, “Have you found a mate yet, Miss

Eden?”

The question ignited a spark of curiosity amongst all the unmated alphas, and betas, as they subconsciously

leaned forward, eager to hear her answer.

My gaze flicked to Eden who gave a shy smile. She pushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and replied,

“N-not yet, Mr..

“Alpha Tornardo.” he was prompt to supply. “I have the biggest pack in the south” However, his words were met

with a grunt from the right

“No, vo

“No, yours is not the biggest pack. Not anymore after plenty of warriors died, and a few left recently.” someone

countered and Tornardo glared at the man.

| cleared my throat again “Letmake it clear, Eden belongs to me.”
