Chapter 141

She was wearing a long pencil skirt and black shirt and had a pen in one hand while a file in another

When she looked at me, the smile almost disappeared from her face

“Oh, hi there,” She said, and | nodded, increasing my pace because | didn’t want to talk with her.

“Did you see the Hybrid King?” She asked, while returning her attention hack to the file. But then she abruptly

looked atagain, as if noticingfor the first time.

Or maybe the shirt | was wearing. She looked intently at it

| forced myself to speak “Yeah, | believe he just went to freshen in his room.

“Freshen up?” She asked and | couldn't help the smug that coursed throughas the raised an eyebrow. Her

facial expressions changed so much that I could easily guess how she was trying to connect the dots.

| wished | had smind reading power to look into her brain and see all her worries and insecurities laid bare

| wished | could gloat about how Eros had spent the night with me, kissingand wantingwhen she kept

throwing herself at him and he never touched her.

“Yeah, the night was quite tiring. | added with a smile, and loved the way the color drained from her face.

She tried to keep a straight face, but | saw the way her fingers dug into the file, almost wanting to tear it out.

Gosh! Tiara was really back and | was loving this side of me. | wanted to torment her smore, but then a

voice iterrupted from behind me.

“Eden, where have you been?” | turned around to see Arthur smiling at me. He had a bag slung over his shoulder

but looked tired.

| smiled brightly at him and dashed down the stairs.

“I should be asking you that question,” | said, when he pulledinto a hug effortlessly.

Arthur's presence was warm and inviting, and whenever | saw him, he always made my worries fade away. It was

as if he carried his own light everywhere, brightening everybody's day by jut showing up.

He pulledinto a hug and smiled radiantly at me. “Pack duty first, Miss Eden. Everything else comes later,” He

murmured as | stayed in his embrace. It felt nice to have him around again.

“Wait, why are you even awake at this hour? Your training starts in 2 hours or so, right?” He looked atwith

furrowed eyebrows, and | flashed him an excited smile.

“Yesterday was a full moon, Arthur,” | said, and he kept looking atin confusion.

“Yeah, so?” He asked, and | kept grinning at him. If there was one true friend | had made in this life and wanted

to share my joy with, it was definitely him..

His eyes went wide, and he stared atwith surprise.

“Oh, my goddess, Eden. Did you really?”

| nodded my

head frantically and he let out a big laugh and even whooped in the air. | began laughing too and jumped up

down with him. He grabbedby the shoulders and turned us around in a circle.

“That is so great, Eden. | knew it. | knew you could do it” 1 let his contagious joy affectand we both started

dancing like idiots on the floor. Hearing the commotion, a few servants cto the hall to see what the fuss was

Arthur dropped the bag and scoopedup in his arms as he told everybody. “This Queen is no longer woltless

Chapter 1

Suddenly another voice boomed through the large hall “What is going on here?”

Hlooked up to see Eros appear on the first floor, just beside Olivia. He had showered and changed and was

wiping his hair with a towel Apparently, Olivia had never left and was watching what was going on with keen

interest.

| saw Eros’s gaze fall on Arthur and the way he was holdingup. Eros was quite far from me, but | could

clearly recall the way he had heldup a few hours ago, just like this.

Arthur was simply cheeringup and doing nothing else, but the way Eros stared at us madethink as if we

had been doing something scandalous.

The servants quickly returned to their work of seeing Eros after hastily bowing to him.

Meanwhile, Arthur loweredand stepped aside to maintain sdistance from“Uh, nothing, King. I just

heard an exciting piece of news. Our newest pack member is no longer wolfless.” Arthur answered before bowing

to Eros politely.

“Yes, so nice,” Eros answered while glaring at me.

Olivia took the opportunity to tear her gaze away from us and look at Eros. She gave him a bright smile and

stood near him, almost pushing herself upon him.

“I waited for you in the office but didn’t know that you were in your room.” She batted her eyelashes, but he only

continued to wipe his head

“The meeting of the alphas went quite well. | made a few changes to the clauses and have brought the final draft

for you to go through. Eros took the file from her and she pointed her pen at the page she wanted him to read

through.

I only smiled at Arthur and whispered a thanks to him. He had givena small celebration.

Arthur put a hand to his heart and whispered, “My pleasure”

“Why is he suddenly so cranky?” | asked Arthur while sneakily pointing at the first floor. Eros was turning the

pages so rashly

that he might as well tear them off along with the entire file.

“No idea. Alphas always annoy him with their odd requests” Arthurshook his head and askedto stay put

while answering

ine.

But | was not convinced. Maybe seeing Olivia's face made him lose his good mood. That could probably be a

very strong

reason

| thought to myself and couldn’t help but chuckle. From above the first floor, a loud, snapping voice resounded. |

looked up to see Eros shut the file and look atevenly.

“What is so funny about it?” He asked, and | hastily lowered my head.

“N-nothing. King. She is just happy about last night, Arthur answered on my behalf, and Eros scoffed while

leaning on the railing.

“Of course she is, he said, and | looked up to see that damn smirk return on his face. His gaze challengedto

counter his words. | tried to quash the shiver that ran up, my spine on hearing the way he said that line.

How could he look so annoying yet captivating at the stime?

“You see, the shirt she is wearing, that’s mine,” He added and closed the file he was reading, leavingstaring
