The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 88

Eros maintained a distance from me, and my legs had already begun to hurt. | had run a lot in the morning, and |

hadn't rested even for a second before Eros had

draggedoutside.

So my muscles were aching, but | couldn’t say a word to him. My legs felt as if they were on fire, but | kept

walking with him.

| winced a little when my foot hit a rock as | was looking elsewhere and a hot bolt of pain shot up my leg.

But | suppressed it and kept walking with him. However, his pace was too much forto handle. His long legs

took bigger strides, and | had to literally run instead of walking to keep up with him.

And the fact that | had stabbed my toe against the rock and my legs were hurting was puttingat a huge

disadvantage.

Eros kept walking forward, and 1 tried running with him, but my legs could not keep up anymore and | stumbled

against a rock, my body crashing against a tree.

“Ah!” | went down with a thud and it was then that he looked behind. | tried not to scream as | gripped my left

leg to free my foot that had gotten stuck.

Eros shook his head dismissively and got near me. His large hands sunk into the ground at once and he pulled

out the big rocks in an instant. | fell to the ground as | tried not to cry.

My leg was bruised and battered, and | probably had broken my ankle.

Eros looked at my leg and muttered, “Looks like you cannot walk now,”

| fought the pain shooting up my leg and answered, “You, you can go. | will cshortly afterwards”

Eros did not speak a word, but bent down and pickedup in an instant. | shuddered at his touch whej he only

pickedup like | weighed nothing and began walking ahead.

| wanted to protest, but | knew | could not walk in such a condition. So | let him carryas we headed towards

his mansion. Despite not wanting to, | nuzzled against his chest as my bones suddenly snapped.

| tried to bite into my lips hard, but it did not help me.

“Argh” | let out a scream and Eros immediately asked “What is the matter?”

| could not answer as white hot pain shot up my leg. | felt as if my ankle was being twisted and my bones

breaking inside of my leg

It was unbearable, and | buried my face in Eros’s shirt to not scream again. | was shaking like a leaf as wave

after wave of pain hit me. | didn’t even realize that he had begun to run.

His strides were already longer but when he ran, it felt like a blue Like | was in shigh speed car, but even

opening my eyes to see where he was takingfelt like an effort.

My bones felt like they were snapping and bending but were unable to do so as something was stopping them,

so they kept trying again and again, sending hot white pain up my body every single time.

Tears were streaming down my eyes and in no time, | felt his embrace leave me. But | didn’t have the energy to

| fell on something soft as | heard Eros imAediately yell, “Get the doctor now!!”

He sat besideand placed his hands on my head, in an attempt to pacify me, but it was not really helping.

Hearing his voice, somebody brought the doctor in another twenty minutes or so in which the pain had worsened

to another degree.

| was writhing and thrashing in pain, but | somehow managed to open my eyes and see Eros drag a doctor inside

the room. “Heal her.” He ordered and the doctor quickly got to work.

He looked at the leg and asked a few questions to Eros

“How old is she, exactly?”

“Twenty, | guess

“Did she successfully shift the first time?”

“Not completely

He scratched the back of his head, “Well, then, my King. It is her wolf who is trying to interfere with the healing

process,” “What do you mean?” Eros asked.

“Usually, when werewolves suffer an injury, their wolf abilities take over and the injury is healed faster than an

ordinary human.”

“And Eros probed.

“I am afraid her wolf wants to heal her, but since she could not awaken her inner wolf completely, she is unable

to help the girl and that is frustrating her, making her try harder. That is resulting in her bones snapping and

trying to heal over and over again.”

He then pointed to my leg. That swelling is not normal. Her veins have protruded and they appear all black and

blue. Her wolf wants to show up, but the girl's body is unable to allow her, as she is weak right now.

Eros shota worried look and ran a hand through his hair “Well then, what should be done in this case?”

The doctor shrugged “I am not sure if what | am assuming is 100% correct, but | haven't seen such a case

before. | would have to ask a few more questions to determine her condition”

He threwa wary look as | fisted with the sheets, holding them in my fingers and digging my nails into it.

“Go ahead” Eros muttered while shoving his hands in his pockets.

“Who was with her when she showed the first

symptoms of awakening her wolf?”

“Me” Eros answered.

“Was her skin hot to the touch or cold?”

Eros scratched lais temple. “She was hot and then she broke out into sweat”

The doctor noted it on his notepad. “Did she show any other syroptoms? Any unusual mood swings, anger,

confusion, or something else?”

Despite the searing pain in my body, I looked at him at that question.

I had gone in heat, and | had asked him to mark me, and he’d givenan orgasm and left his mark on my

buttocks,

Eros’s gaze met mine, and | pleaded with him through my eyes to not tell the doctor about it. Somehow | felt it

was very personal and with half the mansion listening to the conversation attentively, | didn’t want everybody to

know of it so soon.

| didn’t want to be subjected to judgemental looks

Luckily, Eros looked atintently for a minute and replied. “Nothing unusual. She has been wild and unruly

since day one, so no change in that.”

His words made everybody chuckle, but I felt relieved that he had not humiliatedany further.

However, that was the only good thing he did forbecause he tore his gaze fromagain “So, how long will

she keep crying and whining because of her leg?”

So, Mr Hybrid King was back to being grumpy again. I let my head fall on the pillow and tried to fight the pain

while the doctor scribbled something on his notepad.

“I believe medications will only soothe her to sleep | cannot do anything to tell her wolf to stop trying. A wolf only

talks to their human and respond to their mate. As | am neither, | cant be of much help

Glinda had cto sit besideand patted my forehead lovingly May she find her mate soon. Doctor, maybe

give her ssleeping pills. At least she can rest without going through the pain again and again”

The doctor nodded. “I could do that, but then there is a risk. Her wolf might not like the interference and reject

the medicines”

“A wolf can do that?” It was Beauty's voice who voiced out her concern.

“A wolf can do amazing things to a human. A wolf is more like a second being within us, an individual personality,

but the goals are aligned. Even a human body rejects a medisometimes leading to side effects, so I'm not

so sure,”

Eros gritted his teeth “I did not appoint you as the chief doctor to hear you say how you are unsure of

everything. Just heal the girl and make her stop crying

Eros seemed very irritated with my screams, and | promptly shut up. The care he had shown when pickingup

and running hastily to the mansion, had it been my imagination?

Did he really hateso much all of a sudden

Or had he always felt disgusted by my presence and think ofas a clingy, whiny beggar?

| tried to sit up on the bed, and Glinda propped the cushions behindfor support. The doctor blanched at

Eros’s words and hastily pulled out an injection.

“1. 1 will inject her with a sleep inducing medicine. She will stay asleep for a few hours and hopefully the pain will

be less tomorrow morning”

Eros merely grunted. “Do that then.”

The doctor prepared the injection and wiped a patch of my skin with scotton, but | shook my head “I don’t

need the injection

He looked atworriedly. “But if you don’t take this, you will feel the pain all night. Your wolf will gradually

realize she is hurting you more and stop trying

| winced as another wave of pain shot up my leg, but didn’t let another tear slip out of my eyes.

| want to meet my wolf if she is showing up. | want her to know that | am not weak”
