The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 153

| stared at him intently, and opened my mouth to say what | had always wanted for a long time. “You brought me

here to be your cure. | want that too.”

Eros stared at me, his jaws hanging open “What,” he stuttered.

“Lethelp you break this curse,” | told him desperately. It was what | wanted the most. | wanted us to go back

to how we were in our previous lives. | know that my mom’s pack would need my help or presence with the

current increment of rogues. but for now i just wanted to be selfish with the blank card that i had been given.

I love Eros.

“You haven't seenloose control. | can be dangerous... with this curse, my beast is uncontollable in some

days... it's,” he tried speaking again, but | pushed myself to him and kissed him.

Quickly, he took dominance, his lips consumingas his hands roamed over my back, making my skin prickle

with the heat traveling from my core to all over my body.

My body was tingling, bustling like a livewire. Only his kiss could do that. Only my Eros could ignite that spark in

me.

He touchedlike he owned me... like | only belonged to him.

| gasped as his lips opened mine and his tongue explored my mouth while his teeth softly bit into my lower lip. |

felt ecstatic, 1 felt | was alive.

All the weakness | had been feeling suddenly disappeared and | felt as if my body was infused with energy.

Eros’s hands went up my hair and he played with it, inhaling sharply while pullingeven closer.

| wanted him as if my life depended on it. | was a moth that was ready to burn in the flof his anger, his

passion, and his curse. | kissed him back, hungrily, wanting our bodies to fuse into one. The kisses were frantic,

and very heated.

His mouth left mine after claiming it and his lips began roaming over my cheek, traveling down. His teeth bit into

my skin and | let out an audible gasp.

I wanted more of this, more of him.

But then he went still and | felt the absence of his lips kissing my skin. My eyes flew open and | looked at his

face. There were a lot of emotions visible on his face, in his eyes, but the desire was flickering away.

“I might hurt you,” he stuttered, pulling away from me.

I shook my head and tried to reassure him, “We will overcthis together. | want you. You won't hurt me.”

“Whenever the curse takes its effect, | am a danger to everyone... and we've looking for a curse because it

keeps getting worse. In as much as | want you, | won't be able to stop myself. It's better that you leave.”

“No. Eros. Please, we can find a solution to this

Eros shook his head. He looked broken and vulnerable “I am not sure... but | don’t think | am your fated mate. Or

for anyone for that matter. You deserve better, Eden. You just awakened your wolf so you might find someone

else soon... and then you will forget all about me”

He was trying so hard to convincebut | could not even think of wanting someone else. | think about him all

the time. His smile, the way he charmed others and everything related to him

“I won't. Eros. | love you. Tiara loves you | said

“You think you love me. It is just an infatuation, Eden”

| folded my hands, very upset “Then why do you kissback?”

“I could do more. | could not only kiss you but take you to bed too. If that is what you want | can do that. Every.

Single, Night,” | saw the way his gaze heated when he said those last three words.

“I will make you scream and cry my nand keep begging for more. You can be the breeder everybody

assumes you are” My face fell. “You don’t mean that”

“You were honest toso | will be honest to you. | am trying to. | cannot risk letting you tie to myself, knowing

how feral | can go. | don’t have a mate, | don’t think | will ever have one. Is this the life you want for yourself?”

He asked, leaving me

| staring at him with wide open eyes.

“I don’t want you to think you have no chance at living a normal life.” he whispered, before rambling “Look,

Beauty is my best friend and She gets these visions which are not even true sometimes. She cup with the

idea that if | find someone to stabilize my feral instinct, then she could buy stto break the curse. That's

all she has been speaking about since the day she saw you.”

“She saw me? Where?” | asked.

Eros began to step away but | pulled him close. “Answer me, please.”

He rubbed his temple. “In one of her visions. She saw you... or rather a blurred image of a girl calmingwhen |

turned into my beast. She also said that the odd pain | felt in my chest upon seeing you was an indication that

she was right.”

| furrowed my eyebrows. “You felt pain upon seeing me?”

“Yes, that was why | was able to locate you in the crowd, during the birthday party. Beauty had said that the girl

to savewas from your pack, and sha had more visions and that was why | was going to take Lyra before |

met you,”

The marriage proposal with her father, or yours. was a means to have her aroundand see if she would be

able to helptmy feral instincts before marrying her. But then i saw you, and thought that it had to be

you. The pain | felt on seeing you had to mean something”

| boldly walked towards him as he kept speaking “The real reason | keep a distance from my pack is because |

fear that | would go feral any instant and hurt them. | don’t want that. | tried hard to make Arthur, Beauty, Glinda

and sothers to leavealone but they won't budge”

This ti was closer to him, and cupped his face again. “That is because they love you. They believe in you and

have faith that one day you would be completely liberated. Why don’t you believe it too?” | asked.

This was really the first the was opening up toand showing his vulnerability. His coldness and arrogance

in this life was all to protect his loved ones.
