The Beta’s Regret

The door flew open, and I saw a dark, tall silhouette standing by the doorframe, the door lying at his feet and the hinges creaking horribly.

“Nope, she is mine.

That voice.

I would recognize that voice anywhere. My hybrid King was here. Eros had come to save me.

I was going to be safe. While I let out a sigh of relief,

Theo looked around wildly and shouted “Bouncers, security, where are you?”

Eros stayed standing by the doorframe, leaning on it as Theo took an involuntary step back. Eros did not pounce or even march forward, he just stayed casually leaning on the doorframe one of his hands tucked in the pocket.

Theo looked from me to him and threw a

panicked gaze all around before mustering the courage to ask. Who the hell are you?”

He asked, and the man stepped forward as the red light shone on his face.

“Remember me? Eros asked as he took one more step ahead and Theo’s body went limp.

All the confidence and courage he had been showing me evaporated into thin air as Eros walked in as if this were a party. “Eros, I cried and Theo blanched visibly.

“K–King Eros, wh–what are you doing here?” He asked, and Eros smiled at him. But there was nothing warm about that smile. It was cold and deadly..

“Since when do you think that I am answerable to you” His voice was lighthearted, but there was an undercurrent of power 10 il, a firmness and authority that would make any other man standing in front of him pee his pants.

Eros came forward, and only shot me a look. Our gazes met, and I didn’t need any further motivation. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

My legs automatically found the strength, and 1 ran towards him bumping into his chest. I sobbed and cried as his hand snaked around my back, pulling me into his protective embrace.

He let me sob and his hand slowly came to rest on my shoulders after patting me, his touch calming me down.

“Calm down. You are okay.”

His voice, that was cold and unforgiving while speaking to Theo, suddenly sounded concerned and warm to me. Was he really worried about my well–being?

How had he even found out that I was here!!

at me.

There were several questions raging in my mind, but my heart and my body didn’t want night we spent together, he had suddenly become cold to me and did not want to even look

to let go of him. After that one Id been yearning for one look from him, just one touch, and this was more than a touch. It was his embrace that made me feel safe, loved, and protected

I had glued myself to him and was clawing at his shirt, wanting to pull him closer to me while sobbing hysterically.

“Shh, it’s okay. Nothing is going to happen to you. EVER. Do you understand that?” He asked me, pulling my face up and making me look in his eyes. His blue eyes were sparkling with concern and worry while I was crying my eyes out

I saw my reflection in his eyes, the way snot was running down my nose and my hair was askew.

That made me take a pause and calm my nerves. Meanwhile, Eros’s hand gently continued to brush my back, relieving the tension that had been building up in my muscles.

And then suddenly he pulled me close and placed a kiss on my forehead. That made my nerves go haywire all over again. Tears stung at the back of my eyes that I tried not to show while looking down at the floor.

Thave to deal with that idiot, but it won’t take long, alright?” His hand brushed my cheek, wiping the tears off my face as I sobbed.

Sitting on the couch, he took off his coat and draped me in it. While Eros was trying to calm me down. Theo noticed that the exit was open and tried to slink away.

He was slowly tiptoeing out of the room and had almost reached the door when Eros got up, and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

“What’s that thing in your hand? Eros asked, and Theo looked up at the injection stupidly. He immediately pulled his hands down after realizing that he had been holding it up in the air all this time.

No–nothing. King” He gulped nervously and put his hand behind his back. Meanwhile, Eros slowly guided me towards the couch and gently helped me sit on it.

Eros smiled at him and Theo fumbled, “honestly.. I was just..

He began, but could not get words out of his mouth. He tried speaking, but Eros reached for his neck and closed his hands around it in a second.

The next second, Theo was scrambling as Eros held him by the neck, his feet dangling in the air as he gasped for air and cried for mercy.

“Shh, stop whining or I will choke you in an instant, Eros said and like an obedient kid, Theo immediately went limp. He stopped struggling while he looked at me.

“Ed–Eden, please help. The King has some misunderstanding-

At that, Eros let out a growl and threw him on the wall. Theo went flying through a few feet and landed on the exact glass wall I had been banging my fists against, hoping that somebody would notice me

Theo scrunched on the floor and crumpled like a heap, as bones cracking and his joints creaking as Eros–thundered “How dare you try talking to her?”

Theo coughed and wheezed as he rolled on the floor, holding his knees close to his stomach and rocking himself as if that would

give him some relief.

“K–King. L… I found her here. I came to save her Theo breathed and Eros took four large strides and was in front of Theo in the next instant.

“You fucking liar… The hybrid King was shaking in fury and Theo had a petrified look on his face.

“N–no, please King. Believe me, I only came here because I was forced to do so.”

Eros squatted down and Theo put his hands up on this face, shielding himself against Eros in a desperate attempt.

“Start talking.” Eros ordered and Theo began to shake wildly.
