The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 82

9%x77%

The next day, at night after my meeting with Eros, | decided to focus on awakening my wolf, Tiara.

My first transformation had been a disaster, my emotions had gotten the better of me, and Eros had satished my

heat.

But in as much as I liked that, | distn’t want that. I didn’t

wand King Eros to seeas a weakling. | wanted him to seeas someone worthy.

In my previous life. | was the weak Omega who needed saving from him. This time, | wanted to change my

destiny. | want to beca strong she wolf

And then maybe have a good ranking in his pack, and serve him, till maybe he finds his mate and that’s if it isn't

me.

1 feared for the day his curse may be lifted and he would find hate, maybe another woman... the thought hurts

roo much.

In this hic, my future isn’t certain... and I'm still at lost as to why the Moon goddess changed the course of our

lives.

Shaking my head, | got up from the bed and wore a sports bra, a loose tee, and stretchable pants.

| figured | should start working out so that my body would heal quickly, and the next time. | would be prepared

for the shift.

Thus, | tied my shoelaces, grabbed a bottle, and decided to step outside the mansion. There was a big gym on

King Eros side of the wing, but | wasn’t sure if anybody else was allowed to use it.

So, | headed outside the mansion, but instead of the huge front yard, | decided to run through the backyard.

I would ask Eros. No, | should stay away. | shouldn't be too pustry... | would ask Arthur to traina bit. If they

would givea few basic workout tips, it would helpwork on my strength and physique.

That was a nice goal to achieve. After all, | missed Tiara and wanted to meet her as soon as possible. | knew she

was

somewhere in there.

Thus, | began jogging through the perimeter, which was very huge. Our training grounds back in the hybrid

mansion were, relatively smaller and it would takeonly half the tto complete one round.

Here | was running for twenty minutes and | had only managed to do half a lap. But | took that as a challenge

and did one more before | began to sweat.

| took a moment to calm my nerves and take a breath. | had to work out a lot if | got tired so easily.

The first rays of sun were beginning to peak through the clouds and | figured | had a lot more tbefore my

legs would give up

| was just abour to start another lap when | heard a voice from behind me.

“Hello, miss hard worker. Looks like you are on a mission to not rest at all” | turned to see Arthur smiling at me.

“Good morning. Arthur, | greeted him, but he only looked atwith a smile and tapped on his watch a second

later. “It’s still a few minutes to morning, my lady He gavea small bow, and chuckled at the way he

addressed me.

“Really? | didn’t even notice,” | said, and Arthur folded his hands behind his back.

I mean | tried to sleep but could not, so | figured that I should tire myself a little.” | lied a little.

“I sort of noticed that. Hence, | am here to help” He gavea warm smile, and | noticed he was also wearing

clothes

“Are you about to train?” | asked and Arthan answered, “Yeah, | always train early morning, and sometimes Eros

joins too. | have to ensure the entire pack does not grow lazy and sleep all day”

“Great. Then perhaps can | join your sessions?

| promise | will not disturb you. | pleaded, and he let out a soft laugh.

“You don’t have to worry about that. You are a pack member now He said, and | was frozen in my steps.

Had Eros told him that he had marked me?

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he looked at me. “What Your father literally offered you to him as a gift.

You are one of us now, technically”

| let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Arthur bent down to tie his shoelaces and looked up at me. “Ready to race!”

1 grinned, and we two set off. And it was a complete disaster.

He was so fast that he turned into a blur while | wheezed and panted to complete the lap. He was waiting at the

finishing point, grinning atas | placed my hands on my hips with a frownL

“This is so not fair!” | whined. And cto think of it, shouldn't have Eros mark madea hybrid? Or is his

mark contaminated by the curse? Shouldn't | have changed to a hybrid by now?

Arthur shrugged. “Why not? We decided to race, and | won!

| pouted. “Don’t use your wolf. Just run like a normal human being”

Arthur wasn’t a hybrid in this realm too.

Arthur took an objection to that. “Hey, | didn’t use my wolf, okay | was just using my physical strength.”

My eyes went wide at that “Are you serious??

He raised his hands in mock surrender “Obviously. If you want, we can race again and | will let you get a head

start.”

| shook my head. “Then that will not be a race. | will be getting an advantage.”

Elijah chuckled at that. “As much as I like your attitude, | would still beat you even if you were halfway through

the lap,” | threw him a hurt look, and he added softly.

“That is because | have days and months of training and exercise to backup. My body is used to physical

strain.”

This Arthur is so sweet. But still, my shoulders sagged, and | wiped the sweat off my forehead. “But still, | should

do better,”

Don’t be so harsh on yourself, Eden” He said and lowered his forehead to softly touch mine. It felt so nice to be

with him.

Arthur was being so sweet toand had this warmth around him, a sweet smile, and a pleasant personality.

He was so gentle and caring that he could make anybody smile and forget their worries.

And now, as he stood so close to me, | could see his warm brown eyes, his hair that fluttered lightly in the wind,

and the soft crinkles on his forehead

Our faces were barely inches away, and | saw the way he was looking at me. My heart warmed to see that he

still cared aboutin this life. Not to mention King Eros who is broody, arrogant, and mysterious. | sternly

reminded myself not to think about him and forget that one particular incident, that one night we had spent

together.

...because this Eros wasvery, casual about it and didn’t show it affected him. And still, he called a breeder.

Well, I w
