The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 26

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?

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

| forced my unsteady legs to the ladies restroom. | needed to encourage myself while looking at my reflection. |

know it'll help.

“He should cback quickly.” | 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. | smoothened my hair with my fingers, while hoping that my flushed cheeks would go back

to its normal state.

Eros... | smiled, caressing my hair further.

Suddenly, Lyra walked in. | 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?

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

“Well, | don’t want anybody to be fighting over me...” | 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 ctrue for you to be mated to a high breed; Theo, but

| shattered that dream of yours, didn’t I?” she laughed

“Now, | 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. | 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 slapbut wrist in reflex.

my hands gripped her

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

choking.

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

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

| 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 fromif | were you. The next tyou decide to shout at my face... I'd be as nice as you've

been toall these years. A tooth for a tooth. A scar for a scar.”

She shuddered in fear, and bent her head.

Weak Luna.

Then | checked myself in the mirror again, straightening my hair and clothes. | 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.

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

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

Peaceful Tiara would never had thought so.

They'll be almost done with the class now.

My legs tookto the stand filled with the school awards. Just then | spotted my mom’s younger self in one of

frames admiring. | 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 | went to the library, and chose a book. | settled on an empty seat, feeling my heart

return to normal.

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

myself.

The D-day came. The day Theo promised to matewith 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 | becworried.

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

He whispered sthings to sof the elders of the werewolf council, and pointed atat 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 extractand 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 | 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.
