The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 55

| knew something like this would happen. | attacked an Elder yesterday,

“Okay, so | won't be going to school, Int when are you guys going to school?” | asked slowly. | need to go home,

and process everything. | need to prepare myself mentally for the meeting with the elders of the werewolf

council. Will Alpha Theo be there? And Lyra

“We aren't going to school today,”

“Why?” | frowned

“because we are a pack. Beauty emphasized. “We're our own pack. A family. We're going to face the council with

you.”

Eros nodded, and smiled genuinely “We knew the Elder couldn't hur, but he threatened your family and friends.

That

can’t be ignored.”

“Not to mention dangerous, What will happen what would happen if he hurts any of your family or friends?”

Arthur chipped.

T

“Yesterday Eros was able to cajole you easily. The human part of you was still in control because you had wanted

to kill him, you would do that easily without blinking. You were simply playing with him. If he did hurt any of your

loved ones, you would have killed him in a second before moving on to your next target to kill without remorse.

You would be controlled by your hybrid, and driven by your fury. It'll be a bloodbath before Eros would be able to

stop you,” Adonis said

The school ground would be littered with dead bodies, Arthur whispered..

Woahbh... | don’t want to go on a killing spree. Many innocent lives would get killed. “Is that what happen to the

hybrids whose mates got killed?”

“No, sweetheart, it'll be much worse. “Eros took my hand and laced his fingers through mine “There would be no

mate to console them, and so to stop them the king's best warriors would be sent in. We are his best... and the

hybrid would have to be killed.

| have read books, and | know that it’s not easy to kill a hybrid. You have to sever his sever his spine, and then

pierce his chest with a diamond made knife. To do that, you have to get close enough to the Hybrid without

getting killed brutally. A Hybrid on a killing rampage is almost undefeatable.

“So honey, we won't stand idly aside and watch one of us get killed.. Our hybrids are possessive to our pack,

those we have accepted as family. Our hybrids won't stand for it. We will protect each other,” Beauty said

“They would have to go through all of us,” Arthur said in agreement when | looked up at him. His eyes looked

serious for

once.

| don’t know what that would mean if anything happen to them because of me. But | know that the odds are in

our favor Power, and Eros being the royal prince. | don’t think the king would be keen to slaughter his own

cousin, but on the other hand, innocent lives would have to be saved.

“So what's going to happen at the meeting with the Pack Council | asked them, absolutely having no idea what

was going to happen today. | had only been in a meeting where my Aunty cto claim my family and I.

To tell you the truth, we have no idea what's going to happen either. It all depends on the pack, what they intend

to do.. but | don’t think they want the Palace's involvement in this matter, Eros said

“I could happen if they insist on punishing you,” Adonis said

“Hmm, not bad,” Arthur muttered with a grin “the palace involvement or a fight with a few hybrids,” Arrgh. He's

back to his

normal self.

Chapter 55

Now | understand that whatever happens towould affect all of them. | know that none of the werewolves

would stand a chance against a hybrid, let alone a pack of us but | still don’t like the idea of my hybrid friends

getting involved in something like this, or the werewolves dying because of me.

Eros. My Gem

| love Beauty, Adonis and even Arthur and | would give up my life for them in a heartbeat, but also | grew up with

these. werewolves, even though they never treated me, my mom and sister nice.

The meeting with the Pack Elder Council was at 8 in the morning. By past 7. | was ready.

I know I should dress formally, but the rebellious part ofdecided to wear something more free and casual. |

chose a black and white dress that ends mid-thighs, and then sbiker shorts that peek out underneath the

dress and a pair of knee-length black boots on. The black biker shorts is for just in case | needed to kick some

fellows. | left my blonde hair to cascade freely down my back.

Beauty looked elegant yet badass at the stime. She had on a simple but classy short black sheath dress. |

think she got sidea like me, because she wore black stretchable shorts underneath, a pair of black ankle

boots, and her blond hair is in a sleek high ponytail.

“Looking good there, Beauty!” | smiled at her.

“You're not looking too bad yourself there, honey,” she drawled playfully and held my arm as we walked down

the stairs together.

The men are already waiting for us in the foyer

They were all looking spectacular in their jackets with black pants and shoes. My eyes found Eros right away. His

intense sapphire eyes were already on mine.

We all decided to use Adonis black Lamborghini

Adonis was driving with Beauty sitting beside him, Arthur was sitting behind them, and Eros and | sat in the third

row. Eros wrapped his arm around me, and | rest my head against his shoulder. His smell, and touch calms my

nerves.

“Do you have any idea what happened to Alpha Theo and Elder Vincenzo. How are they doing?” | asked

reluctantly. | really want not know.

“Well, last t| heard, Theo has a broken arm.” Arthur saidwith glee. “The Elder was still in the Pack’s

hospital with. injuries in the chest, and scuts and bruises.”

Oh, Gosh...I felt like hiding my face in shame. In all my life, | had never hurt anyone physically. And now I've

injured the pack’s Alpha and the leader of the werewolf council, all in one day!

Eros squeezed my shoulder and tilted my face with his finger “You know they deserved it, sweetheart.”

My hybrid Tiara is rejoicing. In fact, | think she is doing a happy dance in my head for hunting them but the

human part of mne feels sguilt.

We arrived at the pack’s house in thirty minutes, and | was stunned to see a large number of the pack’s best

warriors lining up the driveway. Strong, tall, big muscled, intimidating looking werewolf warriors in full warrior

uniform

A lot more standing in formation in front of the pack’s house. | heard Arthur snicker... Beside me, Eros smiled,

baring his straight white teeth and canines.
