My gaze shifted to Eve, who was staring daggers at me. She had been trying so hard to make Eros only focus on her, but somehow his gaze had found me, and I couldn’t say no when he asked me to dance.

My heart was thudding wildly as he held me close and I inhaled his domineering scent.

Eros was slow, and patiently guided me to dance with him, though I accidentally stepped on his foot once or twice.

Everything felt so new.. like Eros and I were rewriting new chapters of our lives.

“Sorry.” I mumbled, but he shook his head.

“No need to be. Plus, I know you dance very well when you aren’t dressed in a flowy gown. Maybe you’re more comfortable in a towel,” he grinned mischievously,

My eyes went wide at his statement, and he took as cue to slam my body against his.

I gasped due to the unexpected move and almost lost my balance, but his hands immediately snaked around my waist, traveling up my back to hold me in place. I shivered due to the intimate touch and tried hard to conceal the blush rising up my cheeks. Things were happening to fast, or wasn’t this what I wanted?

My gaze fell on Eve, who was fuming, and if looks could kill, she would’vestabbed me a hundred times.

Eros kept twirling me and pressing me on his body, and I forgot how to breathe. His touch was doing things to me, making me enjoy the way he held me and picked me up by my waist and circle around before he put me down on the ground again. In our previous lives, I don’t remember if we ever danced in a ball before.

My breathing was labored, and I struggled to stand straight. Eros raised an eyebrow, “Looks like you need a break”

I smiled and tried to hide how shaky my knees were. It wasn’t because of the dance, but because of having him so close to me. Every time he touched me, it sent sparks all over my skin, tingling down to my core. I only felt this way when we were mates, but now that it’s happening, I was even more confused.

Thus, I gave him a weak smile and headed towards a nearby table to sit and relax. Seeing that Eros was finally free, a few more girls approached to dance with him, but he shook his head and looked at me once to check if I was okay.

I gave him a thumbs up and he went to talk to the alphas while I sat quietly by the table.

Eve ran after him after giving me a scathing look and I rubbed my neck that felt a little sore after all the twirling.

Then a little fight seemed to break out within two packs and soon, most of the men went to sort it out. Meanwhile, I went to the bar and decided to drink something. The bartender who was a young man, probably in his early 20s only smiled genuinely when he saw me.

“Hello, do you have some water?‘I asked him, and he shook his head.

“No, my lady Would you like something stronger to drink?” His voice was sweet, and he looked innocent too.

“No, nothing strong. Do you have any soft drinks, anything that does not contain alcohol?”

He thought about it for a bit and replied, “Let me make you a quick drink. It will soothe your nerves.”

I thanked him for his effort and two minutes later, he handed me a glass with a blue colored liquid.

“There you go.”

I stirred the ice cubes and the refreshing taste of lime hit me. The drink was tasty, and I finished it quite quickly.

Chapter 70

I placed the glass on the counter and wished to go to the loo, but then I felt a sudden pain shooting up my stomach.

I groaned, and the bartender looked at me worriedly. “Are you okay?”

I clutched my stomach and replied. “Yes fine”

Probably all the twirling and dancing had made me dizzy, and my stomach was revolting after I had the drink. I took a few more steps and the pain was gone.

But then I broke out into intense sweat. I had put some distance between the party attendees and gotten to a less noisy area with no one around me

I thought that maybe some fresh air would make me feel better walked towards the shrubs and flowers to distract myself, but the pain returned again, sharper this time.

My knees wobbled, and I lost my balance as I fell down on the ground. I couldn’t even shout because it was hurting like hell and even if I did, my voice would not reach anybody over the music and chitchat of people around us.

I was not even aware when tears started flowing out of my eyes. The pain was too intense, too horrible.

It was as if my bones were snapping and wanted to jump out of my body.

“Argh” I winced and then suddenly I felt someone rush towards me. I was blinded by pain and felt that it was some wild animal that had come to eat me.

Thus, I thrashed against whoever it was, digging my nails into the flesh and kicking or trying to, while the pain coursing through me made me howl in pain.

This was not how I had imagined I’d die. Was this life over? Would I go to my previous life or start another afresh?

But then two strong hands slowly turned me over, making me rest on the ground.

1 kicked again blindly and i felt my foot connect to someone’s face. If that was a bad werewolf, he better leave.

Surprisingly, it was someone familiar. “Eden, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” I heard a voice, but who was talking to me? I knew the person, knew the touch, but the pain wasn’t letting me recall anything.

mystomach hurts everything hurts.” I said as the person pushed me up and placed my head on his lap.

“Where does it hurt?” He asked, and I said. “M–my bones, my stomach everything inside of me is on fire. I am dying” I cried, but instead of sounding worried, the person seemed amused.

He only chuckled, and that made me feel even more angry.

I tried to tear my focus away from the pain and looked up to see Eros smiling at me. He was stroking my face, pushing the strands of hair behind me.

“You are not dying, Eden. I won’t let that happen. You know that right?”

He said, and I sensed his tone get fiercer, so maybe it was just my imagination. I groaned as his hands tried to hold me in his embrace, but was unsure of what was going on with me.

When I did not reply, he spoke again. “Talk to me. What are you feeling?”

I gritted my teeth. Did he want me to write an essay on my pain Could he not see how I was twitching andl lying curled up on the ground crying my s

“Just…just go away. I groaned as another fresh wave of pain shot up from my spine, all the way up to my head, making every single nerve throb with a searing headache.

Chapter 70

“Eden, do as I say. Tell me what are you feeling.”

He used his Hybrid King voice and despite the pain, my brain registered how he was asserting dominance.

1 tried to speak. “My skin wants to peel itself off my bones. I am feeling as if my body wants to tear apart please, help me.”

Eros reached for my face and gently caressed it. That is good news, Eden. You are probably shifting”

He answered, and I immediately threw my eyes wide open. Shifting? My wolf was awakening? But how? Today wasn’t my birthday, or the full moon

Since I got this life. I had waited so long for Tiara to show up, and yet there was no sign of her. Except when my mother had walked into my room and I heard her say that I shouldn’t divulge anything…

So, how do I awaken my wolf right now?

It made sense somehow, yet somehow didn’t.

“H–how?” I tried to ask, but his voice was drowned in my own scream that tore through my lungs. Hot, blinding pain coursed through me, making it hard for me to focus on his answer.

“Not sure of the how, but I can definitely tell that you are awakening your wolf. All these symptoms are pretty familiar to me. I have attended the awakenings of a few pups myself,”

I began writhing and twisting on the ground, thrashing wildly as the pain began to envelop me, snaking me into
