The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 22

Chapter 22

"Well, hello Eros. Hello Eden, it's nice to finally meet you... like this," a male voice said with amusement. Must be Arthur. He's the one who looks like he is full of mischief. "Hi Eden," Beauty genuinely smiled at me.

"Hello," another male voice said. Adonis,

"Hi, I mumbled against Eros' chest, I was still in hiding.

His chest rumbled with laughter. "Butter, are you coming out to meet everyone soon?"

I shook my head and closed eyes. I suddenly felt his warm hand come up to press gently on my back. He was now. comforting me.

His friends were still laughing.

"Why did you guys come back so early? School isn't over yet," He asked

"We decided to check on you, and have lunch at home. Where is the cook anyway?" Arthur asked.

"I told her to go home. To order some pizza.

or something. Eros answered half-heartedly, and lifted me off the floor.

1 pressed my face against his neck, as he carried me away.

"Nice shirt she's wearing. Arthur said again, sounding mischievous.

"Just look away." Eros growled and took off to his room. It happened in a flash.

There was no end to my embarrassment today, and it wasn't even mid-day yet.

Eros and I talked about the laws that would us make Hybrids matry werewolves. Actually if it's a mate thing, no one would go against the moon goddess,

Then there was a soft knock on the bedroom door. Beauty poked her head in before Eros could say anything.

She walked in, and suddenly I felt inadequate. She was so gorgeous, literally one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Her skin was smooth and lightly tanned. Right now her beautiful brown eyes was filled with warmth and mischief. Her long shiny brown hair felt in "I am borrowing her, and she can wear my clothes," she announced

Eros placed his arm over my shoulders and tugged me closer "she can just stay in here with me he grumbled

Beauty rolled her eyes. "The boys and I want to get to know her too. You've got to learn to share, Eros," she moved in and grabbed my hand.

"No, I don't want to," he mumbled glumly under his breath. Finally, he allowed her to pull me away.

30 minutes," he said sourly. Now he looked like a little boy whose favorite toy was just taken away.

Then I'm coming to get you," he informed me.

"One hour," Beauty smirks.

"Thirty minutes," he refused to give up, stating firmly.

"Oh, come share a little. One," she bargained.

on..

"Alright, one hour," he sighed.

"He sounded like he just gave up his most prized jewelry, I should have asked for two hours with you," she complained, dragging me to her room.

These hybrids fight like siblings. You would never have guessed from the way they look when you see them in school.

"How did you end up here? I bet there are more exciting places to live in instead of this little town," I asked curiously as I glanced around hers and Adonis' bedroom. She just told me that she was mates with Adonis, and so they share a room.

It all makes sense now. No wonder, those two are always together Cool

"Eros just brought up the weird idea about him attending, and graduating from high school. We were very suspicious since he hadn't said such in years and so we decided to join him.

Soon, we learnt that he had found his mate; you. It made sense.

"So, how did you four hybrids became so close? Where did you all meet?" I asked

"Eros, Adonis and Arthur are all cousins. The King's cousin. Actually, the throne is Eros' but he stepped down for Pison because he wanted a peaceful life with his mate," she said, smiling cheekily "I, on the other hand was an omega Eros saved. Then I met Adonis, and voi I nodded, not wanting to talk about Eros" being the king of the werewolves and Vampires. I didn't. no, I'm here safe, with no added responsibilities.

Eros and I would live a simple life.

Beauty lendes me a pair of trousers, and a pretty white floral top, Good thing we are almost the same size.

The outfit fitted perfectly.

Thank you for lending these to me. I can't imagine going home in Eros's shirt," I said. "I'll return them after I wash them."

She waved her hand in dismissal, and then pulled me down to sit on the bed next to her. "It's time for us to really talk," she said.

Woah I shifted uncomfortably. But she held my hands warmly "its not so serious," she laughed. My checks must have turned bright red

"I mean, now that you're with Eros, you're going to experience changes soon. Like you, I was a werewolf but now I'm a hybrid by reason of our mating, and all" she blushed.

Woah.

suddenly occured to me that I was already changing without mating or marking Eros. The changes in my body, my hair... my curves, iny skin...

I remember how my eyes, my voice, and my body changed yesterday when I went for a run,

"Why does it happen? Tasked slowly

"Well it's a gift from the moon goddess for her children; the Hybrids. To make sure that their mates compliment them, and become a hybrid as well. That way they understand and feel each other's senses, and emotions."
