The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 65

[Eden’s Pov]

| was humming to myself after having that soothing shower, and was feeling refreshed after a long time.

So, | was dancing around when | saw the King Eros watchingfrom a few feet away.

He was all muscles and elegance, dressed in a simple black button down shirt and black pants, and looked every

bit of the King he is, and his grey eyes were simply mesmerizing to look at

My body was already reacting to his presence and | had not failed to notice the way his eyes had roamed all over

my bare

skin.

It madeflush with heat, but | reminded myself that | needed to understand why he broughthere.. and it

seemed like my comment about omegas being used for pleasure and sex made him offended, so | hastily tried to

stop him, but at that exact moment the towel’s knot loosened and it slipped down from my naked body.

| gave a startled cry and stupidly got up to place a hand on his eyes to stop him from seeinginstead of doing

a sensible thing and picking up the sheet again to hide myself.

| almost jumped up to close his eyes and my foot got caught in the sheets, makingthrow myself at him.

My mouth turned into a big O as he stumbled back and his hands wrapped around my waist to holdin place.

| should have given a startled cry, a hysterical shriek, but my body was not prepared to feel his large hands on

my waist, and the sound that left my lips was more of a moan.

We fell on the bed,on top of him with his hands aroundand my face inches away from his. At this point, |

wasn’t sure what to do.

Eros eyes were still looking into mine, and the brush of his rough, hot hands against my soft skin felt heavenly.

| was lying stark naked on top of the most ferocious hybrid on this pland instead of feeling terrified, | was

feeling aroused for him.

| needed to take control of the situation. Besides, the goal was to slowly get to know him and not this.

“Close your eyes,” | told him, willing my voice to be former. There was a small smile playing on his lips and his

grin only turned wider when he heardspeak.

| glared at him or tried to, as my nipples turned so hard that | could feel them straining against the fabric of his

shirt.

“What if | don’t agree?” He askedhuskily, and | smacked my hand upon his shoulder.

“Close your eyes!!” | repeated in more firmely, and he obliged.

“Alright, ma’am, He did as asked in the next second, though with a stupid grin still plastered on his face.

I rolled my eyes at him and quickly gathered the sheets and the towel to wrap them around me

“Now go out and letget dressed,” | said, moving away from him and leaning on the opposite side of the bed.

His hands reluctantly let go ofas he asked,

“Can | atleast open my eyes? | don’t want to be jumped upon again for no fault of mine.”

| did not jump upon you, | snapped, not wanting to climb back on him and make him take me.

Eros propped his elbow on the bed and looked at me. “Yes, you did, and you liked it”

00$90%!

He said, smoothing the creases on his shirt and attempted to wipe away the moisture that had gotten absorbed

from my

hair.

“Is that how you woo girls? Doing something and saying ‘you liked it?” | shot back. He was just smiling atas

amused him instead of making him angry.

| rolled my eyes and put smore distance between himself and me.

“You didn’t see anything, right?” | asked nervously, and he tried hard not laugh. The effort was visible on his face

and it madewant to kiss his adorable cheeks.

“I did He nodded, and | felt my heart thundering against my ribcage.

This was mortifying. | buried my head in my hands and just wanted the earth to swallowwhole.

He had seendance and jump around in nothing but a towel and then, like an idiot, | had somehow fallen

stark naked on top of him and still he wasn’t touching me.

| said, trying to hide my nervousness and appear bold. He merely squinted his eyes atand | immediately

corrected myself, | mean, can you please leave, your majesty?”

With that, he walked outside and reached the door. The door fell shut softly as | heard his receding footsteps.

| fell on the bed again, lost in thought at what had just happened. He didn’t take advantage of me. And Eros had

not only providedwith medical care and attention, but also comfort and luxury.

| smiled at myself and let go of the sheets. | was just going to take a stroll, and cback into the room before

evening and tfor the mate ball.

| walked towards the wardrobe, and pulled out a simple jeans with a cream colored blouse, and paired it with

plain white shoes before heading out.

| Smoothened my hair with my fingers, and kept walking through the passageway and climbed down the stairs.

| was adjusting the strap of my dress when | reached the floor and bumped into someone.

| would have fallen but the person stopped my fall, “Oh sorry, | did not see you there”

| looked up and my breath hitched. It was Arthur. The annoying cool, loyal hybrid among my friends.

“I should be the one who apologizes. | was not paying attention

He chuckled and ruffled a hand through his silky hair. He seemed too friendly.

Extending a hand, he introduced himself, “Hello, | am Arthur, the beta to King Eros.” Betal Wo

Wow.

| hesitated a second before taking his hand in mine and lightly shaking it.

Tam Eden. King Eros...”

| began, but trailed off. What was | to him? His mate? Breeder? He never allirmed what | was to him.

| hit my lower lip nervously, wondering what to answer him, when he shrieked.

“Oh my God, | am finally meeting the star Eden, everybody has been gushing about,”

e gavea low bow and added, “I am honored to meet you, Miss Eden,” he said and | looked at him closely for

any hint of mischievousness but saw none.

This Arthur was different. Even Beauty seemed different. Her preferences are now different, and Eros seems

more cold, and aloof than before.

| forced a smile. The pleasure is mine.”
