“You should go sit with the rest of them, Eden,” Alice said softly. She is usually the soft one among us.

“But I’m not leaving you guys here. You are my best friends,” I refused. They are my best friends, and I certainly don’t want to sit anywhere near that scheming bitch

Eros and Susie didn’t kiss. They just talked to each other.

“Yeah, we’re her best friends. She’s not going to abandon us to sit with the Hybrids,” Nova snapped at Alice.

“But she is one of them now,” Alice argued.

“No, I’m not. I’m one of you.” I argued again.

“Eden, I don’t know if you realize this, but you are one of them now. You look and feel like them. You are as intimidating as they are.” Alice confessed and my eyes widened.

“I intimidate you?”

“No. that’s not what I meant. What I meant is that you now have the presence that only a Hybrid has. All of us werewolves can feel it now.

I shook my head stubbornly “Well, I’m not leaving you guys,”

“Yeah, she’s not leaving us. We’ve been friends since childhood, the Hybrids just knew her.” Nova concurred with me.

“But he’s her mate,” Alice insisted.

“Let it go, please. It’s her choice to stay here.” Nova groaned.

“Okay, but if I was in your shoes. I won’t be sitting here, cowering away. I would be there staking my place as his mate.” Alice mumbled into her juice,

“I’m not cowering away…” I pout, seeing all eyes and fingers pointing at me in the cafeteria. A lot of people were talking, and speculating about why I was not with Eros or sitting with the Hybrids anymore.

I saw Alpha Theo and his gang staring. So many people were staring, and it was suffocating.

I stomped to my bedroom as soon as I got home. The whole house was quiet.

Mom had gone to te biggest baking shop in the pack. She had gotten a better job there. It seemed like everyone wants to relate with us, to be somewhat connected to the Royals.

Luna Belle had stopped tormenting my mom too. Olivia wasn’t back from school either.

I had ran all of the home way after the last school bell. I didn’t want to be in same confines as Ecos.

He was annoying, and I love him.

Argggh

“One would think that after living for decades, they would understand women better.. but no! Fine is not FINE. When I say 1 need space, it means I want your attention.“I mumbled, pushing my door open.

“Do you always talk to yourself, Blondie?”

I jumped in fright. “Arthur!!!

“Should I be worried oris my friend’s mate going insane?” he said mischievously.

Arthur was sitting comfortably on my bed, staring at the designs of my room.

“Oh shut up, Arthur! Are you trying give me a heart attack?” I said angrily

He laughed heartily “Oh Eden, even when you’re mad, you’re entertaining. If Eros hadn’t claimed you, I would have claimed you myself” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

I placed my hands on my hips “How did you get in here?”

He grinned mischievously, before glancing at the wide opened window. I should’ve known. I really should teach these Hybrids how to use the front door.

“So to what honor do I have presence Arthur?” I snapped at him

“Ha! You’re in a bad mood. It’s almost as worse as Eros,” he said thoughtfully.

Really? Eros is in a worse state like me? Well, that serves him right.

“You haven’t answered my question. Why are you here, Arthur?” I asked. I just wanted to be alone, and sulk in silence…

“Well, I missed you Blondie,” he replied, faking hurt “I hardly got any chance to talk to you since we got back, and the others

are no fun”

I chuckled athis glum expression. He’s such a kid. Soon we started talking and laughing.

“Did he ever tell you about Regina?” he asked suddenly. “We don’t talk about her much, but I expect that Eros would have said something.”

“Yeah, he did,” I said slowly, sitting on the bed.

“She was like a little sister to me too. When she died, it affected us deeply. Especially Eros, her brother. He almost destroyed the place. We couldn’t stop him. It was his father, the king that managed to stop him.

Then Susie slowly warmed her way to him. I know Susie. She was never nice to Regina or Beauty either.

We knew she wouldn’t like having you around. So, I guessed that was why we never mentioned you in front of her.

I think because of both families closeness, Eros and Adonis takes her as a replacement for Regina.

To me she’ll never be that. She is completely the opposite of Regina, Regina was sweet, sincere, and loyal. Susie is deceitful. manipulative, and self–serving.

She wants Eros because of the crown. It was when his father expressed his desire to pass the throne down to him, that she became more desperate. And even after Eros declined and made Pison in his stead, Susie still hasn’t given up. She desperately wants to be Queen,”

“Wow…” I managed to say “why doesn’t she go after King Pison then?”

“Pison is quite strict. He doesn’t want anyone except his mate. That he made her know even after sleeping with her.”

“Wait what? He had slept with her?” I asked, surprised.

“Yeah,

“Yeah A Hybrid can only sleep with a hybrid or their mate… less he receiver dies of the power and exhaustion,” he said “Really?” I asked, tilting my eyebrows “let me guess, you’ve slept with her too?”

Arthur shrugged.

“my goddess!” I exclaimed “and you three men don’t mind at al

“It was just spur of the moment. The sex was good, she was hot

I shook my head in pity. These Hybrids are quite complicated. have never seen him that way with anyone before.

You’re a member of our small pack even though it isn’t official y away from us…”
