The Beta’s Regret Chapter 9
Chapter 9 I woke up to a beep of an incoming message on my phone. It was 4 am this Saturday. I wondered if it was Alice or Nova trying to reach me about the date. I tried not to remember Theo’s hurtful words to me. I sat up, pulling a pillow over my head. But then I wondered if it was Tom. I tried reaching him on the line he used to bug me before, but everything went into his voice mail. I wondered if he was okay, Eros. The name appeared on my screen. My heart raced rapidly. I had Eros‘ number. Could he have saved his contact on my phone before dialing his line with me? Why did I never check my contact? I was wide awake now. All traits of sleep had vanished from my eyes. How could one creature have such power over me? He’s not even my mate. I clicked on the message. Eros: How did your date go? My lips parted in shock. How did he know? I fumbled for what to reply to him Me: What are you talking about? It’s better to fake ignorance than confess or outrightly deny it. I clicked “sent” and waited for his reply. My heart was racing fast. One second later, my phone beeped again. Eros: Butter, you know what I’m talking about. What’s with him calling me Butter? Me: What’s it to you? You cunningly rejected my friendship. Therd Let’s see what he has to say to that. Iros. Because we can’t be friends. We are more. What?? Another message came immediately. Eros: Meet in me at Gam at the waterfall behind Susje Park. I want to talk with you. I flung the phone far from me on the bed. I didn’t want to think what my mind was telling me. I didn’t want to build castles in the clouds. 1 knew Susje Park and the famous waterfall behind it. I paced around my room, thinking, and doing nothing. 1/4 85% 20:11 Tue, Oct 22 Chapter 9 When I went to pick up my phone; I realized it was now 5:39 am Should I po I already have enough incidents in my life. Going to meet a hybrid might complicate it. I should have no business getting anywhere near a hybrid. They are deadly Tiara is quiet. She has been quiet since Theo confessed to making Lyra his Luna, and us, his mistress. Unfortunately, their marriage ceremony is in two days. I shouldn’t go and meet with Eros. I should stay away from him. At least that’s what the rational part of my brain is telling But since when did I listen to my brain anyway? I rushed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth in a hurry. Then I washed my face, and body and started creaming my skin I packed my hair in a ponytail and went back to stare at my phone. The time was 5:50 am. It was 10 minutes before 6 am. But Hybrids are not to be messed with. Werewolves were deadly, but nowhere near as powerful as the hybrids. Nope, I wouldn’t p I go. Hybrids are a whole new level of danger. However, something powerful inside of me was rebelling against the idea of me not going. It was urging me to go; like the pull of a mate. It scared and excited me at the same time “Arrgh. I’m not going.” I finally gave up, and crawled back into the bed with my pajamas. I removed my hairband and released my hair to fall on my shoulders. I draped the blanket over my body and brought my knees to my chest under the cover. … Read more
