The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 127

“I can only hope that you awaken your wolf soon. | wanted that too but she was clearly not telling me

everything.

“Beauty, please.” | begged and she let out a sigh.

“The Hybrid King... what do you think of him?” She asked, and | was surprised by the sudden change of topic.

“Why are you suddenly asking that?”

“Answerplease”

I shrugged, “I find him a little rude but good. He's been helpingtrain also.”

She chuckled at that. “And?”

“And!” | repeated, a little shy

“That's it?” she asked and | tried to hide the way my heart raced like she knew exactly what | was thinking.

“Yeah, and nothing else’ | answered.

She kept looking atintently for a while and narrowed her eyes but | didn’t break eye contact.

After a while, she replied, “Well, just know that you were brought here for a special purpose. You do know of the

curse on the Hybrid King, right?”

I nodded. | simply heard about it, but not really into details as to why the curse came.

“Well, let's just say that my visions tellyou could free him of his curse.”

“Woah” 1

gave

her a shocked look.

“Yes, you. And | know we have not told you everything but Eros is of the opinion that you should awaken your

wolf first and grow strong before you are given additional responsibility

“A responsibility?”

| can’t tell you that. It is not my secret to share. But Eros will tell you when he deems it fit. That is, if you don’t

run away again.” She added in a teasing tone but her words madethink about everything that had occurred

so far.

The way others would stare atwhen | was not looking, whisper something secretively but when | showed up,

they would suddenly go quiet.

“You are sure | am not going to be used as a sacrificial lamb, right? | hoped that they were still as good as they

were in my previous life, and not want to offerto sunknown deity who sought blood sacrifice.

But Besuty shook her head, “I may hide things from you but | don’t lie. | told you Eros does not believe in gods or

goddesses. He would only need your help in breaking the curse. You are NOT going to be sacrificed in any way.”

She said givinga reassuring look. | mean if he has to... why not sacrifice the rogues! Hit two birds with a

single stone. you know

Her dark joke did not makefeel any more comfortable.

She saw the hesitation on my face and muttered, “Ok, just know his your and Eros’ fates are intertwined. You are

going to need each other?

“Thats reassuring” | said but then she held my hand, makinglook up at her curiously.

“Just don’t fall for him. she abruptly added and | could only blurt out, “Why?”

My question indicated that | did want to fall for him.

Beauty made a grim face, all the smile wiped away from her face Because it won't be good for either of you.

Truston

that.”

| tried to shrug it off. “If looks alone madefall for someone, | would be worried, Glad that is not the case.”

“The curse. Think about it. Eden. If we don’t manage to break the curse, he will forever stay trapped in his hybrid

form. Would you want someone like that to be your forever after?”

When | didn’t reply, she added, “I mean you would want a mate, A loving caring one. And you yourself said Eros

is a snob But | could not understand why she was saying all this.

Beauty did not ignore my words like before but this was the first tshe said something bad about Eros. Well, it

was not necessarily bad but she always painted him a good light,

Though what she said was a bitter fact. There was no known solution to the curse and whatever they planned to

do would just be trial and error.

However, the way her face fell madewant to ask something.

“Did you ever. | mean you and Eros...” | trailed off but she seemed offended.

“What? Good God, no. | love him like a brother. So | am not sjealous friend who wants you out of the way. |

just... well. just go and get your wolf. then we can talk.

Surely, she saw the way Eros treatedin front of everyone. He did not treatlike | was the center of his

world to makefall for him.

My feelings for him were only because of a stupid crush, It was something that would fade away over tif he

continued to be the scold and aloof person.

| told that to myself repeatedly. And despite all the confusion she created in my head, at least, she was the first

one to givesanswer instead of bluntly ignoring my questions.

Maybe, her vision told her that I got killed by Eros when he lost control of his hybrid so she was trying to warn

me.

But then did she not believe in whatever solution she cup with? That somehow | was going to prevent

exactly that? Just a few minutes ago, | had been excited to dress up, and look like a princess for once, meet my

wolf, and finally not be labelled with a wolfless tag. But now all of that earlier excitement had vanished as my

head was churning with various thoughts.

If | could awaken my wolf and help Eros get rid of the curse, | surely would. | loved him then, and still loved him

very much.

“Don’t worry. My focus is only on awakening my wolf and then taking revenge on those who wronged me.”

| said, my fists clenching at the thought of Theo.
