The Beta’s Regret Chapter 98
Chapter 98 “Well, everybody sees you as a ruthless hybrid King” Do you?” He straightened his back. I continued. “And… and you rule the kingdom and everybody is your subject.” “Why did you try to run away from me?” Another question. This was getting awkward. I just wanted to have my freedom 1 answered, mustering some courage that I did not believe I had. “So, have I chained you! Are you imprisoned? Eros demanded and I could feel the way he was trying really hard to keep his anger at bay. “No. I don’t know” I finished lamely and I could feel the sadness in his eyes. “So you thought a random stranger would offer you money, and promise you to take you somewhere and you blindly believed him? What are you? Ten?” I widened my eyes at that. He had been busy with the shop owner and the flock of girls talking to him. When did he see Luke slipping me the money” “You know?” Eros gave a mirthless chuckle and raised his hands in the air before they fell limply by his sides, smacking his thighs. “Do I know? Of course, I do. What do you think I am? A stupid fool? That guy was trapping you, and you fell for his trap like an idiot. I felt hurt by his accusations but I could not argue much because it was true “I know and I am sorry. I just wasn’t thinking” Eros nodded his head. I bet you weren’t. So tell me what made you wish to do that? You have been living with me for almost a month, you had all the chances to run away so why now?” “I just needed some answers, and wanted to go to the somewhere to find them.” Eros came closer, his tall frame towering over me and looked down at me “That is not the answer to my question.” I gulped, “I was sold to you as a breeder or a slave or whatever. I don’t think I want just that for my life.” A muscle in his jaw ticked and I saw the way the air left his nostrils that flared in irritation. “Did I ever treat y you like that?” He demanded. “No, you did not but “But what?” He boomed. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves but it was not working. He inched even closer and the urge to lean into him was maddening. I couldn’t function with him so close to me. Arguing with him while he was so close was a herculean task. And I had had too many drinks to hold a straight conversation for long. His eyes bore into me as if they had the ability to look at my soul and find out all my secrets. “Look, I know I made a mistake and I am NOTTY Fri, Oct 25 Chapter 98 Do you have any fucking idea what would have happened if I was a second late? That injection… he would have he.” Eros could not even finish the line and it made me feel terribly guilty at my stupidity all over again. “You asked me or I should say “begged me to touch you when you were in heat. And now you want to run away from me!” He coiled his hands into fists and slammed them on the car’s bonnet, making me squeeze my eyes shut. His breathing was ragged and the hair had fallen on his face, partially covering the golden eyes that looked incredibly hurt and pained Eros was close to me, too close and his intoxicating scent was filling every fiber of my soul. His full lips were slightly parted and I had the mad urge to lean in and capture them in my lips again. 1 had to step away from him before I did something stupid. So I tried to move away from him but his hands trapped me in a “You are not going anywhere before you answer me” The way a nerve jumped in his throat was making me feel incredibly nervous. Could I lick that nerve and possibly trail my tongue down all the way towards his chest? I blinked and shook the thought away. “Answer me!!” His voice rose just a little and I blurted out without thinking “Because I don’t think you want me and I did not want to ser you with Olivia for the rest of my life.” Eros’s eyes went wide at that and I put a hand on my mouth but it was too late. The words carrying my deepest fear had already left my mouth. All I could do now was own them “You did not think I wanted you. Eros repeated with a blank stare but it felt more like a question. I tried to hold back the tears that threatened to leak from my eyes I did not want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how it hurt me to see him with someone else, how much I yearned for hum, craved his touch … Read more
