The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 154

Chapter 154

I pulled him closer again. Eros was being vulnerable in front of me for the first time. He told me of how he had lost control once and killed tens of his pack members. It made him doubt himself and his strength. He was always in control of himself and never let his true emotions show. Today was different

He was confused, and nervous and it was breaking my heart to see him suffer like this.

"Let me do it, Eros. You said Beauty's visions are not always true, but that they aren't always wrong either. I wish to help her in whatever she plans

to do. If I could really stall for time or break the curse, wouldn't it be great?"

Eros shook his head. "It is risky. Eden.

I placed a finger on his lips, "Shh. Let that risk be mine."

"But"

He began but I pressed my finger on his lips harder, "I know what I'm doing. Trust me please,"

He raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"

I nodded, "one hundred percent"

After I got discharged from the hospital and rested for sometime. Eros came into my room and led me to his office.

According to him, Beauty was waiting for us in his office. Our relationship felt more cordial and warm since his openness to me at the hospital.

Beauty was staring outside the window, thinking about something. She had a diary clutched in her hands and it looked like she had been chewing the base of the pencil.

She was wearing blue jeans, a black crop top, and a black jacket. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders and she looked like she was ready to conquer the world.

She gave me a small smile as I walked in and waved at her.

""How are you?" I asked.

Beauty replied, "I should be asking you that question."

I shrugged, "I feel fine"

Eros walked towards his table.

*Seeing that

you are here, let's get into it." She cleared her throat "As you know Eros is cursed and we have been looking for years for a cure but so far, I only found you. My visions told me you be able to help him stay grounded and not let Beast's wild instincts completely take over his I nodded.

"So, I proposed that you become his help. I've been asking him for months to tell you all of it but he kept postponing it saying that

you hadn't shifted and that he didn't want to put that responsibility on you. He stopped us from divulging everything to you as well. But now, I think we are ready

She threw him a look as if to challenge him to deny it. He didn't say a word.

"Can

you explain more on what I'm do for him?" I got straight to the point.

"As I said, we need someone with a strong c connection to him, someone who could tame down the beast within him when he loses control. But only you come close, especially as revealed in my visions." "So, if I agree to this, I can stop him from going wild?" I asked.

believe so. My visions tell me that you are strong enough to help him. With the arrival of your wolf, you have gotten stronger. We just have to perform a small ritual, and then you both will have established the bond." You make it sound so easy." Eros grunted, staring pointedly at Beauty.

"I am not done. Eros. And I am not going to throw her into a fire. She is my friend too," Beauty snapped.

Tucking her hair behind her ear, Beauty continued.

"Through the spiritual bond, you would be able to sense the changes in his emotions whenever they get heightened. So, if you sense that he is losing it, you can inform us all and we try to stop him before he destroys or hurt anyone else." Well, that did not seem all that bad to me.

"Also, if you are calm enough, you'd be able to channel some of your calmness into him and thereby stop the transition-like a mate She added

"Look, Eden, I know I am asking a lot from you. But we needed someone who's also not blindly loyal to Eros. His entire pack is and so neither would be able to fight him when he goes out of control. That would be disastrous, and further break him more."

I had another question for her "So you think if the hybrid King is not himself or his rage is intense, I will not only stop him. but put up a fight against him?"

She smiled, "You are quite stubborn, in a good way, I mean. So far, he has given you many orders, but you follow none of them and just do what you want."

I grinned, but the smile disappeared when Eros glared at me.

"Don't make it seem as if what she does is the right thing," he snapped at his best friend, but she ignored him.

"I am just saying she is brave enough, as it is to stand by her words and beliefs. Even before she awakened her wolf, she stood up against you. Not many would live to tell the tale.

"By standing up against me, you mean running away with a stranger and almost getting drugged and sold to the rogue King. Sure, that was good." Eros grunted.

My smile disappeared again.

"And from what I hear, she also is the winner of the trials held yesterday. Aren't you, girl?" Beauty' continued to speak positively about me.

I nodded.

agree to it

"So, all of the points I stated lead me to the conclusion that she is our best bet. The only thing that matters now is if she would Both Eros and Beauty's eyes flicked to me at that line.

chas

"Well, I won't allow her to do it. She is my subject and pack member, so she is bound to obey me. And I won't permit her to do My jaw dropped open. I thought we had agreed about me helping him out on this.
