The Beta’s Regret

Win!

For a moment nobody said a word. Everybody’s eyes returned to me and I was glad that the shirt was big enough for me to not feel as if I was walking around naked.

Eros’s words made a delicious shiver run up my spine with the way he said it. His gaze flitted to me as if daring me to rebuke

his claims.

But I was too busy fighting the emotions swirling inside of me. I could still feel his hands on me and that heated gaze when he had kissed me.

I slowly turned to Arthur who blinked and then replied, “Oh yes, King. Glad that you were around for her shift.”

I looked down at the floor when I could not keep

looking at those blue eyes anymore. But Arthur seemed oblivious to our wordless talk

“Now you can train faster and soon you can outrun me in a race. Arthur cheered me up as Olivia suddenly jumped in the

conversation.

“Oh, that is great. She awakened her wolf. Now, you don’t have t hold back while training with her.” I looked up to see her smiling at me, all too sweetly. Why was she butting in again? This was my moment of happiness and I did not want to even think about being with her to train.

I ignored her line and spoke to Arthur instead, “Yes, now that you are back we can race with each other.”

Arthur went to sit down on the couch “Not right away. Let me eat something and get a shower first.”

I smiled at him and folded my hands upon my chest, “Why? Are you afraid of me?”

Arthur grinned at me and I saw his eyes dance in excitement. “Ooh, the kitty got claws.”

I laughed and replied, “you can rest for today if you want. I am in no hurry to defeat you.”

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Eros had left with his file though Olivia was still standing there, staring at me and

Arthur

Apparently, she was not happy with the way I completely ignored her remark “Hey Arthur, you got the report from the East?”

Olivia suddenly asked and Arthur looked up at

her. “Yup I did. I don’t fail at my tasks usually” He said cheekily and she smiled.

Very well. I just recalled that we had to see the report to discuss the treaties with Eros before he signed the papers?”

Arthur nodded, “Sure I will just freshen up and join you guys in a while”

“Great. And then you tell me all about your adventures” She added in a friendly tone and he nodded, “I’ll bore you to death.” Olivia laughed and left for Eros’s office while I also said, “It is so good to have you back.”

“Yeah. I will try to leave the meeting quickly and join you for breakfast or lunch. Then you’ll tell me all about your first shift. And mind you, you are not leaving any detail out” He added, poking a finger at me and I tried to smile.

Arthur walked away after ruffling my hair and I knew that I wasn’t going to tell him everything. I could not tell him how his King sucked my p*ssy dry and made me come by the lake or the way his lips devoured me, leaving me breathless and wanting

for more

Nope, definitely not.

I had to get a grip on myself. So I smiled faintly at Arthur’s retreating figure and went up the stairs to freshen up too.

Thankfully, nobody made a fuss of seeing me wearing Eros’s shirt. In fact, nobody had even noticed it until he pointed out.

I tried to forget Olivia’s gaze as she stared daggers at me and stepped into my room. I was so tired and my bones hurt but I was also happy that I had finally found my wolf.

That put a smile on my face as I went into the bathroom and took Eros’s shirt off. His scent was lingering all over me and a small part of me almost did not want to let go of it. But I had to clean myself. Only now did I notice that my nails were chipped and covered in dirt.

My hair looked all frizzy and tangled too. Gosh, I had been roaming around like this in front of everyone without a care of how I looked.

I stepped in front of the mirror and noticed something else. My skin was bruised and a little red. And there were marks- bite

marks.

Most of them were over my thighs and around my collarbone and I was glad to have worn the shirt that covered everything. My hands brushed over those marks and heat flared up inside of me again. I had not even noticed them while he was roaming his mouth all over me.

I turned around to see the mark that he had fussed about. And I noticed that it had changed again. At first, it had resembled something shapeless, but now it look like our previous‘ life mark

“Yeah, it looked like it. The mate mark from your previous lives,” a small voice in my head. Tiara. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I almost shrieked because I wasn’t expecting her to talk at that time. It would take some time getting used to hearing another voice in my head.

I cleared my throat “so… uhm, do you think we are mates in this life?” I asked.

Tiara kept mute. Just then a beep sound made me look at my phone lying on the bed. There was a message waiting for me.
