The Beta’s Regret novel Chapter 5

When I met up with my friends during lunch, Alice was bursting with excitement. Apparently, Nova had filled her in on the details.

“I wish I was there," Alice squealed, as we stood in line to get our food.

“You should have seen her, I think I created a baddie!” Nova purrs in excitement.

“Remind me not to cross you girls,” Alice giggled, before taking her orders.

“You are innocently more cruel than us,” Nova smirked as we walked to a table with our tray of food. As we sat, we noticed the glares from the popular table.

Theo was nowhere to be seen but Lyra and her minions were giving me deathly glares. I shrugged and looked away.

“Only if looks could kill," Nova grinned mischievously. We burst out laughing. But what did these people expect of me? They expected me to sulk in silence and die, maybe?

Maybe that is what would have happened if not for my friends, my mother, my sister, and my wolf. Tiara is strong and I am so proud of her.

"So now, all you have to do is get yourself a boyfriend," Nova said as we walked back to the classroom. I sighted the four hybrids walking on the hallway.

"Yeah, like I can just meet anyone to ask him to be my boyfriend,” I snorted.

“Yes, you can- especially if he is unmated or lost his mate, then you two will have a future together,” Alice smiled reassuringly

“So, Eden, don't you have a crush? Someone you can meet?” Nova smirked, plopping her hands on my shoulders.

One person quickly came to mind but I pushed it down.

“Nope,” I said

"You have to have at least one!” Alice urged “This school is filled with dreamy and hot men. Think of one name," she said

Eros.

I shook my head again, fighting the smile that threatened to slip.

That one name that keeps resounding in my head. Eros.

He has a strong, angular face, dark and silky hair, unique blue eyes, long eyelashes, and pink lips. But here's the catch—he's both a werewolf and a vampire, making him seem untouchable.

I remember how I first met Eros. It was a year ago. He and the King of the Wolves and Vampires came to visit the Silver Moon pack as they do, visiting every pack and clan in the world.

I was on my knees, scrubbing the floor. A punishment Lyra gave me before they walked in. I looked up, and there he was staring right at me. He was so huge and tall, and radiated power and authority and ...so beautiful.

I had never seen a man so beautiful before, it was surreal. His shoulders were so broad that they almost filled the door. I completely forgot about the King and just drooled at the man beside him.

His skin had a smooth, golden tan, resembling honey. Thick brown hair, a bit tousled with silky locks, fell across his forehead, framing strong, arched dark brows.

His face was perfectly symmetrical with noticeable cheekbones, a straight nose, and a sharp jaw leading to a strong chin. However, it was his sapphire eyes, framed by thick, long lashes, that captivated me the most. The intensity in his gaze held me, making it impossible to look away.
