The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 78

I might not be completely wolfless now, but | had yet to do a complete transformation. My wolf, Tiara, had not

shown up in my head either.

The process had just begun before my body collapsed, then | went into heat and Eros had to mark me.

It wasn't as if he did that willingly. He would most probably want a strong werewolf by his side, not a girl in this

life, who could not properly awaken her wolf.

| had to stop dreaming about him and focus on connecting with my inner wolf.

Also, the fact that Eros’s mark was hidden from everyone would givetto properly connect with my wolf

and have a better control of myself and my emotions if | ever went in heat gain.

And a tiny part ofhoped that Eros would be the one to quench my heat this ttoo.

| shook my head for the millionth tand reprimanded myself for not being able to control my thoughts.

“Hey, where are you lost?” beauty asked, and | mumbled. “Nothing. So did you sleep well yesterday?”

She nodded her head and began talking about something random excitedly,

She seemed like a very nice person and she was the complete opposite of Eros. While Eros was blunt, rude, and

bossy in this life. Beauty smiled a lot, and offered a pleasing company.

“Have you eaten anything since evening?” She asked, and | lied.

“The morning lunch was very filling and | don’t feel hungry yet)

My stomach grumbled at the stime, and she stuck her tongue out

“Liar, clet us eat something and then | will dump you in your room.”

It felt nice to have someone care foragain. She felt like the Beauty | knew before. | was so glad the moon

goddess didn’t change her traits.

It was an odd hour, and | still saw the maids still carrying out their activity.

“The mansion never sleeps,” Beauty said, as though to answer the question in my heart.

“Also the king works like a madman, he is always coming up with something to keep himself occupied and the

rest of us too. don’t bother,”

Then she walked forward and she called out to Glinda.

“Hey Glinda, do you have something for us?”

Clinfa, who was carrying a tray filled with tea kettle and cups, nodded her head vigorously.

She called out to another servant and asked him to take it upstairs while she ctowards us.

“Yes, | saw you two sitting outside and enjoying the sunset but kept wondering when you girls would feel

hungry.” Glinda Jooked atwith a kind smile and added. “What would you like to cat?”

My eyes, however were on the servants rushing into Eros’s office

“What is going on?” | asked, eyeing the tea kettle they carried, and she waved her hand, like it was nothing. “His

loves to have hot tea or coffee when he is working on something. And he has had like 10 cups already but

it still wants more.

My eyes widened in surprise. “Ten cups already?”

“Oh, that is nothing. You should see when he is awake all night. He finishes around 30-40 cups of coffee easily.

And when he still feels drowsy, he then switches to tea.”

| looked at Beauty, but she simply stifled a yawn and added, “Enough of Eros talk. | am hungry! Let us eat!”

Glinda chuckled and went away. Then she returned with sdelicious food.

It was just as delicious as my first lunch with Beauty and | felt fill almost immediately, but | couldn't stop myself

from taking a bite of everything that was offered,

Beauty finished her dish first and gave a satisfied smile, “Goodness, now | am drowsy. It is fun to have company

to eat.”

| played with the spoon and fork on my plate “Don’t you guys have lunch or dinner together?” | asked, because

ever since last night, | hadn't seen Eros.

I had been sitting outside with Beauty, hoping that he would cto talk to her, but he was nowhere to be seen,

and even now as we sat at the dinning hall.

Just what was keeping him so busy?

And what if after last night, he thought oflike a clingy, creepy girl? Or maybe he didn’t want to seeagain

after witnessing how possibly bad | was?

How would | meet his eyes again? Part ofwanted to apologize for forcing him to mark me. Marking ought to

be mutual. and consenting..

| felt confused, | didn’t know how to react to this Eros. What if he still has a mate out there and | just ruined the

little chance

he had?

| tried to ignore that thought as | got up from the dining table and bid Beauty goodnight. Walking up the stairs, |

reached the upper floor.

My room was on the other end of the mansion, while Eros’s office was on the opposite end. | looked at the watch

and it was, now past | am

A servant cout of the office carrying empty teacups and was hurrying downstairs.l stopped him and asked,

“Is the King very busy?”

He nodded. “He has asked for yet another kettle filled with tea.”

“How many cups has he had so far?” | couldn't help but ask.

The servant shrugged “I am not sure Miss, but it seems like around thirty”

Then he hurried downstairs and rushed towards the kitchen. | stretched my neck to look in the direction of Eros’s

office and saw the lights on

The glass walls didn’t givea good look at the inside as he hail also drawn sblinds.

| could roughly see his silhouette as he seemed to be studying something with his body bent down on the table.

His strong muscular freasily stood out from the other men around him, his beta to be precise, who were also

buff but my Eros looked as if he had been perfectly sculpted to perfection by the moon Goddess herself.

And that perfect man had roamed his hands all overwhile his mouth had devoured me.

But then | saw another figure, that of a girl, with a slender body and long hair, leaning down on the table with

him. From this angle and the shadows, could only make out that the girl was standing very close to him.

A flare of jealousy ignited withinto think that this was the task that was keeping him busy all day. | felt a

surge rise in me. wanting to rip whoever was beside him.
