The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 25

“Well, your daughter is my mate.”

My mother staggered to a sofa. She sat with a defeated sigh “Wow, she exclaimed, palming her face with her

hands.

Eros and | turned to exchanged glances. My mom lifted her gaze and gestured to one of the chairs “seat,” she

offered.

“Thank you.” Eros smiled, and pulledonto our biggest chair and sat next to it. He entwined our fingers and

placed them on his lap.

My man was seated so elegantly withbeside him. He seemed not to be from this world.. so beautiful,

powerful... and

sinful.

My insides burned with excitement that he cback after. ulim, my mom's interruption.

My mom observed us intently, “I don’t know what to say,” she paused, placing her hand on her chest “I am just

glad that | have at least 3 years to recover from this before Olivia turns 18.

My face turned bright red, and Eros winked atreassuringly.

“I don’t know much about Hybrids or what it means to be mated to one. But | want you to know that | won't

stand in the way of you mating my daughter. Personally, I'm glad.. Eden has been through a lot. | hope you'll

treat her right, and make her happy my mom said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Ma’am, she is my everything. | promise to treasure and protect her with my life,” Eros promised.

My mom tears u still smiling “Good. But there are sthings that you should know.. I'll be back,” she said and

disappeared into the kitchen.

She reappeared with three cups of tea, and handed each to Eros and I.

My heartbeat accelerated. Bad news. Mom is about to tell Eros about Aunt Meredith and the warrior. | clenched

Eros’ palm with my left hand, and massaged his “Do you remember what | told you about Alpha Theo and his

plans for me?”

His expression turned grim.

“Don’t get mad, okay?” | caressed his palms. “Things are even more complicated,” | said.

My mom told him everything, from the relocation plans to the summoning, then to the 3 days ultimatum, and

Auntie Meredith plans.

Surprisingly, Eros didn’t loose his temper. His hands only tightened around mine when she spoke about the

warrior coming over to claim me.

His sapphire eyes looked thoughtful after that, like he was planning something.

After the talk with my mom, | briefly introduced him to Olivia. Needful to say that my Mom and sister loves him

already. Eros then tookthat evening for sice-cream, and groceries for my family.

Then he kissed my forehead at the front door and badegoodbye.

The next morning, | refused a lift from my friends. | even refused a lift from Eros. Then | arrived late to school on

purpose to try and hide from everyone.

But it didn’t work as Eros foundeasily again. He wrapped his arms aroundand buried his face against my

neck as soon as he caught ine.

Chapter 25

| started to suspect that may not have any hiding skill.

Eros never letgo. After that he was placing his arms protectively around my waist down the school corridors.

Beatty, Adonis and Arthur walked with us. We ended up bickering and taunting each other.

If anybody had tolda month ago, that I'll be seen walking with the hybrids, | would have disagreed.

It felt a little weird, and exciting to be walking with the Hybrids like | was one of them now.

| got a lot of stares, especially hateful stares from the girls. Strangely, sof the girls got even brazen.

They were giving the hybrids even more shameless, flirtatious looks. More top buttons becundone, and

short skirts becshorter.

Maybe they now think that since | am with a hybrid, they might have the chance to be with one too. Worse still,

they're not only being flirty with Arthur, they are flirty with Adonis, despite him holding Beauty's hands.

They are blatantly also flirty with Eros, and it annoys me. | could tell that Beauty was annoyed too.

During Lunch, my friends; Nova and Alice joined us at the Hybrid’s usual table. Eros placedon his laps the

whole time. His hands were firmly on my waist to keepin place.

Sometimes, I'll intentionally bump my buttocks against his groin. And he'll nuzzle into my neck for control. He

would plant kisses on my shoulders and whisper dirty words into my ears.

I would blush crimson red, and drink my milkshakes. | was happy.

At first. Nova and Alice kept staring at the hybrids in awe. The hybrids don’t talk much around other people,

which was so different from how they are with me.

The hybrids were so silent that after a while, my friends forgot that the hybrids were here. They started to act

like themselves again when it’s just the 3 of us.

Nova and Alice started their pointless bickering, and | would chip in a word or two. Eros was turningon with

his hands. Arthur's lips curled in amusement “your friends are very entertaining to watch,” he said into my ears.

“It's a good thing, right?” | narrowed my eyes at him.

He chuckled, “Maybe, blondie,”

“Blondie?” my lips part open. What sort of nicknis that?!

“Yes, Blondie,” he affirmed with a wicked grin. Eros squeezed my buttocks.

“Callthat again, and i'll call you blackie,” | smiled,

“Blackie?” he scowled

“Yes, darling. Your hair.” | smirked

Frus lifted his head up, “You seem to have found your match, Blackie,” he grinned mischievously at Arthur.

Adonis and Beauty chuckled loudly.

My eyes went to the popular table. | think Eros broke Theo's army yesterday, so he and his friends didn’t cto

school. But Lyra and her girls kept givingdirty looks from where they sat.

Soon, it was last period and Eros and his friends said they have to leave school for the Royal palace. In their

words, “we have things to attend to,”

Eros tookoutside with him before he leaves

“You've been setting my soul on fire all day, and | just want to do this,” he muttered and pushedflush

against him. He slowly lean down to place his lips on mine.

| gasped, and allowed our lips move in sync. His lips was magical, and | forgot where we are. In the parking lot. It

was just us, tasting each other and drowning in this hot, fiery, passionate kiss His tongue slipped into my mouth,

and my legs wobbled. | grabbed unto his hair, as heldfirmly. My legs moved to wrap around his waist,

molding my body closer to his

Sinful.
