The Beta’s Regret

Someone then blasted a car horn. It was Arthur.

“Damn it, Arthur!” Eros cursed, and then leaned down for more kisses.

Arthur honked for the second time. Eros hesitatingly pulled back. Our breathing was ragged.

He slowly hugged me, and sniffed my scent before finally letting go. Then he turned around and entered the car without looking back.

Did he have to leave?

I wrapped my arms over my shoulder, missing him already.

I forced my unsteady legs to the ladies restroom. I needed to encourage myself while looking at my reflection. I know it’ll help.

“He should come back quickly.” I whined, stepping into the empty washroom

My reflection in the mirror looked like a horny bride. My lips was red and swollen. My hair was in disarray. My clothes was rumpled. I smoothened my hair with my fingers, while hoping that my flushed cheeks would go back to its normal state.

Eros… I smiled, caressing my hair further.

Suddenly, Lyra walked in. I could smell her minions outside the door.

“You must be feeling so good about yourself, aren’t you?” she drawled.

Huh?

“The two guys that all girls in this school seem to be fighting for, are both at your whims,” she said, coming to stand behind,

1. me.

Doesn’t this lady get tired?

I wasn’t scared, but annoyed at her guts.

“Well, I don’t want anybody to be fighting over me…” I said, watching her narrowly through the mirror above the sink

“Oh, please. It’s just the both of us. Stop the innocent act, it doesn’t suit you!” she sneered.

The innocent act? My forehead etched into a frown.

“Yes, you are just taking the innocent girl thing. But I know you she said wickedly “You are the omega slut of the pack. An absolute nobody! It must have been a dream come true for you to be mated to a high breed; Theo, but I shattered that dream of yours, didn’t I?” she laughed

“Now, I am his queen and the Luna of the pack,” she said boldly, but got no expression from me, much to her dismay.

She scowled and moved closer, “But you are so ambitious, aren’t you? But of all the mateless boys your pathetic self could choose. You managed to snag a hybrid. A hybrid!!!” she yelled like a crazy bitch. I felt a slight heating in my chest. Tiara was

livid.

“Now tell me, how did you do it?!! If you don’t speak, I’ll hit you, she swore, coming to slap me but wrist in reflex.

my hands gripped her

My right hand moved to grab her by the throat, and I lifted her up as her feet dangled in the air. She was choking.

Then I flung her across the room. Gbam! The heavy fall reverberated in the room.

Her minions didn’t walk into the room. They thought I was the one being beaten.

I squatted to where she laid helpless, and weak. Blood streaking down her shocked face. She couldn’t believe that Eden, the lowly Omega had such strength.

“I’ll stay away from me if I were you. The next time you decide to shout at my face… I’d be as nice as you’ve been to me all these years. A tooth for a tooth. A scar for a scar.”

She shuddered in fear, and bent her head.

Weak Luna.

Then I checked myself in the mirror again, straightening my hair and clothes. I walked out of the door to the surprise of her minions. Their eyes popped out of their socket, their jaw hanging to the floor.

Recognition dawned on them, and quickly they rushed inside the washroom to save their Queen Bee.

I snorted, increasing my pace and discarding all thoughts to go back and pummel Lyra’s face.

Then I decided to tour around the school to ease my restless wolf. She is changing and I could feel it.

Peaceful Tiara would never had thought so.

They’ll be almost done with the class now.

My legs took me to the stand filled with the school awards. Just then I spotted my mom’s younger self in one of frames admiring. I spotted her smiling with a slimmer lady.

The lady looked like.. Luna Bella. They were indeed best friends, but so what happened? What made their relationship sour, Then I went to the library, and chose a book. I settled on an empty seat, feeling my heart return to normal.

“Good girl.” I whispered to Tiara. “We are a peaceful wolf. We do not engage in violence,” I said to convince myself.

The D–day came. The day Theo promised to mate me with or without my mom’s approval. He had heard about my Aunty’s intentions and decided that it was going to be an official gathering since it now involves two packs.

The meeting was going to consist of him, the Alpha, the elders of the werewolf council, Luna Meredith, her warrior, My Mom and I. and of course, the whole pack as the judging audience.

It seemed like Theo had been planning these quietly for days. Tiara and I became worried.

I stared at Alpha Theo sitting with his Luna, Lyra, at the high podium.

He whispered some things to some of the elders of the werewolf council, and pointed at me at intervals

Lyra had on a scarf around her neck. Tiara grinned in satisfaction, knowing that we had left a good mark there.

My Aunty, on the other hand, Luna Meredith was also seated elegantly in a white dress at the podium. She came with almost all her army to extract me and my family with force, if needed.

Her pack was one of the deadliest werewolf pack in the realm. Silver–moon stood no chance against them, and thus, the reason for the meeting

She sent a knowing smile my way, and I forced a smile at her.

“Whoops! So many hat men in suits, Alice purred, eyeing one of Aunt Meredith’s warriors. Everyone was dressed formally.

Nova smacked her anm concentrate,

The meeting was about to start. A word of thanks was shared.

My fate was going to be decided.
