The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 1

“Eden Willow! Hurry up or you will get us all punished,” I heard my mother yell

I fought the urge to smirk as I stood before the mirror, admiring the blue dress I wore. It was my favorite wear, and I could tell that Theo was going to love it.

Today was Lyra’s 18th birthday and her father, Alpha Griffin was throwing a huge party for the entire pack in her honor.

Anyone would be shocked to learn that I was excited about the party because Lyra had been nothing but cruel to me. She has hated me for as long as I can remember, and her minions never fail to hit me at will.

The hate feeling was mutual. I hated her for always picking on me, and making my life hell at school and everywhere. She: the Queen Bee of the Mystic Claws & Fangs Academy practically ruled my life.

Well, until Theo came into the picture… hmm, credit to the Moon goddess for gifting me such a delicious mate, I purred, wrapping my hands over my body as he did last night.

Theo had assured me that he was going to make our relationship public today, Theo is the most handsome guy in our entire pack, and the Beta’s son, considering that he was next in line to be Beta.

We have been together for a month after finding out on my birthday that we were mates. He made me promise not to tell anyone about us, he wanted to do it at the right time.

Then last night as he removed my undergarments and kissed me under the moonlight, he vowed “I am going to make you mine- because tomorrow, I will tell the pack about us,”

“Really?” I gasped, hugging his bare back tightly as he felt my core,

“Yes, baby,”

Last night was pure bliss. It was everything I imagined my first to be.

“Eden!!!” my mother yelled angrily, disrupting me from my reverie

“I’m coming. Mom,” I answered, grabbing my coat from the chair as I hurried downstairs.

A knock came to my head. I turned to look at my mother. “Mom” I groaned, feeling where she knocked me, but she stomped out of the house in annoyance with my baby sister trailing after her.

“I am sorry, mom I hurried to catch up with their pace, Olivia, my baby sister, gave me a cold glare but I stuck my tongue. at her and hugged my mother from behind.

She grumbled, trying to shake off my hold on her “Just pray to the moon goddess that I don’t get punished because of you! “I am sorry,” I begged, giving her my puppy eyes. She fell for it and returned the hug

Olivia rolled her eyes at us and took to her heels “Race ya!”

I held my mother’s hand and we sprinted after Olivia, laughing and chuckling. We arrived just in time for the party. “Rose!” we saw the Luna, Alpha Griffin’s wife, matched her way angsily toward us. My mother gulped nervously. “Follow me to the kitchen! Now she yelled, grabbing my mother’s hand roughly. I looked away, unable to do anything. “I hate the way they treat us in this pack, Omegas or not, the moon goddess made us all, Olivia whispered sadlyNôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

I ruffled her hair, sighing deeply “It will all be over, soon”

“You think?” my 15-year-old sister looked at me hopefully.

“Yes,” I smiled, thinking of Theo. Everything will change when he tells the pack about us. They will have no other option but to respect my family. We would no longer be treated as outcasts.

“Eden! Olive!,” My friends, Nova and Alice beckoned at us from a corner in the hall

About thirty minutes of dancing with my ‘fellow omegas’ as Lyra and her minions would taunt. Theo walked to where I was and stretched out his hand,

“Would you like to dance?” He winked, making my friend’s jaw drop to the ground.

“Oh heavens, he just asked Eden for a dance, I heard Alice giggle as he pulled me away.

“Woah! This is huge!” Nova exclaimed. Tiara, my Wolf, couldn’t be more happy. She had been anticipating when our mate would show us public affection.

I chuckled proudly, slipping my hand into his as he pulled me to the dance fall.

His hand came to rest on my waist and I placed mine on his shoulders as we danced to the music, our body syncing gracefully in harmony.

Theo stared at me so lovingly with his emerald green eyes, and for a moment nothing mattered as I leaned in for a kiss. “Not now baby,” he licked his lips, “You don’t want to ruin the surprise do you?” He smiled, making me nod my head in

agreement.

“No.” I whispered happily.

No matter what happens tonight, one thing is certain, I will be the luckiest girl in the SilverMoon pack.

“I am going to be making the announcement in a few minutes, he whispered and I saw the sparkle in his eyes “Be rest assured,

The music stopped playing, and another started, which indicated that it was time for the Alpha to have a dance with anybody.

Theo left me and went to ask Lyra for a dance. I rolled my eyes, consoling myself that they were just friends. At least that was what he told

My friends came to stand with me, and everyone stopped to watch them dance slowly.

“That was incredible!’ Nova exclaimed “Although, Theo is a bully like his friend over there,” she gestured to Lyra “You guys do have an insane chemistry together,”

I blushed at her comments. Yes, Lyra, Take that!

“One would even think that you guys were mates,” Alice squealed excitedly.

“We are mates, 1 murmured with a pout

“What did you say?” Nova and Alice’s eyebrows raised in shock. Olivia watched us silently under her narrowing gaze.

“I was just kidding,” I laughed dryly. I would simply wait for him to make the announcement.

“You almost got me there. Of course, the moon goddess hasn’t made the mistake of pairing a Beta with an omega before. Nova said thoughtfully.

“Yeah, I think I’ve read so many fantasies that I now see my friends and I, ending up with a powerful mate, maybe even a Hybrid, Alice said dreamily

Nova smacked her head “This is reality! Hybrids will never fall for omegas like us!”

“Oww!” Alice turned to scowl at her, and they began bickering

My friends. I palmed my forehead, looking at the dance fall to still see Theo dancing with Lyra.

“They better just be friends,” Tiara growled, thinking of several ways to claw at Lyra’s pretty face.

This side of Tiara is new as she had always been a peaceful Wolf. But I guess even the timid wolves get possessive when it comes to their mate.

Suddenly the light in the hall dimmed and the music gradually faded into a soft melody. There was a hushed silence in the party as Theo took a step backward and sank to one knee, bringing out a tiny ring from his breast pocket.
