The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Elder Facenzo face turned into an ugly shade of red...

"Remember to whom you are speaking to, girl!" he

yelled using his ruthless wolf's dominance. Even Luna Belle shrinked back and lowered her head in submission. I guess it's true after all. The original members of the werewolf council are more powerful than any Alpha or Luna of any pack. But my chest start to swell with anger. My eyesight is tinged with red. Tiara is now a hybrid, and she will not cower to this man. She does not like to be talked to like that by any Elder.

I stood defiantly, even as he towered over me.

"And you! You should remember whom you're speaking to!" I thundered back with my Hybrid force.

He retreated a few steps backward, and for a second Elder Vincenzo lowered his head, but shakily forced his head back up. His hands were gripping the edge of the table so hard that his knuckles turned white. His jaw is clenched tight as he fought the urge to submit.

Mrs. B

Belle was nowhere to be seen. I could smell her fear from underneath the table....

"You are no longer an Elder over me," I said with gritted teeth.

His lips pressed into a thin line, "Ah, you may have some connection with royalty, and I am no longer your Elder, but your mom, sister and friends are still under my care.

You wouldn't want to know what happens when you're not looking right?"

"Are you threatening me?" I narrowed my eyes. I'll need to destroy him before he destroys my loved ones.

I don't know if it's me, or Tiara that is doing the thinking but the idea felt so good.

Tiara's anger and mine were flaming right through my chest. All I saw was red. How dare he threaten me? My mom, Olivia, Nova and Alice?? How dare him?

He wants to hurt them. I will go on a rampage, and kill everything that comes my way. Starting with him!

"You dare to threaten me???" I hissed out through my sharp elongated teeth, and canines. My voice was changing. Dark veins were starting to appear around my eye sockets.

His eyes widened in shock, as he comes to terms with who he is facing. He makes to he drag the table he's been holding onto in front of me. I flung it away in a snap. Ha! As if that table is going to stop me.

"I'll destroy everything you hold dear... first, I'll tear you to shreds," I walked predatorily towards him until his back is pressed up against a corner in the office.

He pressed his back harder against the wall like he want to melt into it. I could hear his heart thumping crazily in the cavity

of his chest.

I chuckled, "I can smell your fear, Elder," I drawled, lickinh my lips as I stare at his chest where his pulsing heart was.

When I jumped onto the table, he started yelling, "Warriors! Warriors!"

The door bursted open, and I heard footsteps. They stopped at the door. Nobody dared come closer.

I crawled slowly across the table, and heard footsteps again. When I sniffed the air, it almost made me to close my eyes. Something smelled good. So good that my Tiara purred. 09:58 Thu, Oct 24

Chapter 53

I could still smell the elder's fear.

"Eden.. butter..."

The melodious voice had me pausinh for a bit, but then I continued crawling across the table. Perfect, now I have my prey comered

I licked my hips hungrily

"Butter, look at me. I'm right here... Love." I snarled when a hand touched my arm. The touch felt so good, though that ripples of pleasure spread through my body.

"Eden, my love, look at me..." A warm gentle hand stroked my cheek away from my prey.

A beautiful enthralling sapphire eyes were staring down at me. I couldn't help but lean into the touch. Everything about him was calling to me. I nuzzled my nose into the palm of his hand, taking in his scent. A low growl from Elder Vicenzo made me turn at him again. My Prey.

I stretched out my elongated fingers and scratched his face. Blood gush out. I lifted my hand again, this time to snap off his neck when a warm palm came to caress my cheeks gently. "It's enough, Love. Come with me,"

I snarled, but the most gorgeous face and eyes met mine. I purred, and slowly, I was lifted into the coziest arms. I buried my face into the crook of his neck and inhaled. The best smell ever All I remembered was being carried to the car by Eros, and surrounded by my Hybrid family. Their protective calmed me

presence

When we got home, Eros started the bath and undressed me gently, while talking softly to me. He lowered me into the warm water, stripped his clothing himself and got into the bath with me. He washed my blood-stained fingers, my body, and my hair.

He dried me up, with a big fluffy towel in my hair. He laid with me in bed and pulled the blanket comfortably over me.

I rested my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms securely around me. I already got myself back, and angry Tiara was long gone.

"Eros?"

"Butter..."

"Im sorry."

"Don't be. It's not your fault. That mutt Elder called you into the office knowing full well that I or any of our pack members won't be there with you. He wanted you alone because he thought he could manipulate you. That was sly of him, only it backfired on him." I traced a finger absently over his abs, thinking back about what happened today at school. "Gem?"

"Yes, Tove

"Today, Alpha Theo said he felt it when you marked me and when we were together. How could he still feel it when I don't feel him anymore?"

"That could be because you didn't accept his rejection then. Which would have totally servered the ties. Plus, you're also a Hybrid and much more stronger."

"Would you really have left me alone if I was happy with him, or he accepted me?"

"Uhm, I gotta confess..."
