The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 47

Chapter 47

We arrived at my home, and Eros held me closely.

I blushed, fondling the hem of his cloth "I should go inside, take a shower, and wear a proper cloth,"

"What's wrong with what you're wearing now?" he asked.

"Well... Gem, you know, I began and his lips curled up into a smile.

"I like that endearment, but I don't know what you're talking about," he chipped in

"Eros, my love," I said, my tone dripping with sarcasm. "I am wearing my shirt, and smell like...

"Like what, Butter?" he asked wickedly. His sapphire eyes shone with amusement and mischief. "Like... uhm, you know," my cheeks were crimson red.

"No, I don't know," he tilted his eyebrows and moved dangerously closer "Tell me, you smell like you've just been thoroughly mated and marked? You smell like me?" He whispered into my ear. My belly clenched at the sound of his sensual voice.

His hands grab bes my waist possessively, his nose nuzzling my neck "I do think that it's a marvelous thing. You smell like me, and I smell like you. It will serve as a warning to other men that you belong to me."

I could feel my hunger for him building, so I quickly kissed him and ran off.

An hour later, Eros appeared in my room and took me out on a date. When we entered his white Ferrari, he crashed his lips on mine "Youre so fucking beautiful,"

I kissed him and climbed onto his laps when he snatched his lips from mine. "Let's have dinner before I eat you myself."

That made my stomach clench deliciously as he ignited the car. watched him under my thick eyelashes as his arm muscles flexed while be handled the car.

I watched the graceful way his sleek fingers moved as if was stroking the steering wheel, and I imagined what those fingers could do.

Suddenly he groaned "What?" I jolted, coming out of my reverie.

"I can feel your desire for me, Love" he groaned, his hands grabbing the steering wheel harder than necessary.

"Oh no!" 1 gasped, turning bright tomato red. Oh Goddess, I totally forgot about that. He could totally feel me.

"I think I'm going to lock you up in my room for a month..or five...right after I feed you," he mumbles to himself.

Yes, please!

Eros pulled in front of The Food Paradise, the fanciest restaurant in the city. In a flash, he was out of the car, pushing away the man about to take my hand to help me out of the car.

He handed the key to his Ferrari to the valet and led me to the shiny whire marble steps and into the grand entrance.

A very well-groomed woman in her early thirties hurried over even before we stepped inside the affluent restaurant.

Your Highness Prince Eros," she greeted with a bow.

"it's so good to see you again."

They acknowledged me with a respectful little bow of their heads, and admiring the red dress I wore.

"Cathy." Eros acknowledged her with a polite nod.

"They re already waiting. Your Highness," she informed him "Right this way," she said, extending her arm towards the restaurant

"They know you? You come here often?" I asked Eros, looking up at me.

"Sometimes," he answered.

I nodded, and noticed the elegant setting and the delicious smell of food. Ahhh... food. I was hungry,

The affluent room is filled with guests. Men in their expensive suits, and women in beautiful designer dresses. I suddenly felt like disappearing into my sanctuary. A

I sensed many of them are werewolves, and two Vampire. Conversations hushed and the well-dressed patrons looked up as soon as we stepped in. I couldn't blame them. Eos looksd gorgeous even in just his t- shirt and jeans. His hair is carelessly and sexily mussed up-as usual

He reeked of importance and power

There's also a combination of danger and reckless sex appeal that is hard to ignore.

Eros pulled me closer to him as we walked past the tables, his hand coming to grip my hip possessively.

"I can't stand it when the men stare at you like that," he growled lowly in my ear.

Like what? All I am seeing is women eyeing him with so interest, despite having dining with their partners.

I noticed their lustful gaze at him.

When we arrived at the VIP section at the fourth floor of the building. A group of good looking men and two women come up to meet us. All Hybrids.

"Prince Eros," they said and bowed. Eros simply pulled one of them into a hug.

"Liam," Eros smiled at the handsome man that looked like in his mid-twenties. Eros later told me that they were members of the King's loyal subjects.

Then we were led to a beautiful private room where Arthur, Adonis, and Beauty we're already waiting.

As soon as the King's subject left, Beauty engulfed me in a big hug. "You are now one of us!" she exclaimed.

"Yes!" Arthur exclaimed excitedly, while Adonis patter Eros back

Whoosh! I could feel my cheeks burning up. How did ethey know? I felt like crawling into a hole and hiding inside. When Beauty released me, Arthur wrapped his massive arms around me, and twirled me happily. Everyone was excited. Eros growled warningly and Arthur dropped me on my feet, grinning widely.

My lover's large arms soon pulled me into his muscled chest.

"Now the celebration," Adonis announced, and shouts of celebration filled the air.

Eros and I may not be officially married but the mating and marking meant more to us. Once marked, the two souls are forever connected.

"How did you all know?" I asked shyly.

"We felt the connection as soon as you were marked," Arthur smirked.

Oh oh... "Nothing is private around here," I sighed

"Oh, darling be thankful. If not, decades of years ago, you and Eros would have mated in front of all the pack members attendance," Arthur said gleefully. Color rose to my cheeks, and I stretched to smack Arthur's head "I know that,"
