The Beta’s Regret

I stared at him intently, and opened my mouth to say what I had always wanted for a long time. “You brought me here to be your cure. I want that too.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Eros stared at me, his jaws hanging open “What,” he stuttered.

“Let me help you break this curse,” I told him desperately. It was what I wanted the most. I wanted us to go back to how we were in our previous lives. I know that my mom’s pack would need my help or presence with the current increment of rogues. but for now i just wanted to be selfish with the blank card that i had been given.

I love Eros.

“You haven’t seen me loose control. I can be dangerous… with this curse, my beast is uncontollable in some days… it’s,” he tried speaking again, but I pushed myself to him and kissed him.

Quickly, he took dominance, his lips consuming me as his hands roamed over my back, making my skin prickle with the heat traveling from my core to all over my body.

My body was tingling, bustling like a livewire. Only his kiss could do that. Only my Eros could ignite that spark in me.

He touched me like he owned me… like I only belonged to him.

I gasped as his lips opened mine and his tongue explored my mouth while his teeth softly bit into my lower lip. I felt ecstatic, 1 felt I was alive.

All the weakness I had been feeling suddenly disappeared and I felt as if my body was infused with energy.

Eros’s hands went up my hair and he played with it, inhaling sharply while pulling me even closer.

I wanted him as if my life depended on it. I was a moth that was ready to burn in the flame of his anger, his passion, and his curse. I kissed him back, hungrily, wanting our bodies to fuse into one. The kisses were frantic, and very heated.

His mouth left mine after claiming it and his lips began roaming over my cheek, traveling down. His teeth bit into my skin and I let out an audible gasp.

I wanted more of this, more of him.

But then he went still and I felt the absence of his lips kissing my skin. My eyes flew open and I looked at his face. There were a lot of emotions visible on his face, in his eyes, but the desire was flickering away.

“I might hurt you,” he stuttered, pulling away from me.

I shook my head and tried to reassure him, “We will overcome this together. I want you. You won’t hurt me.”

“Whenever the curse takes its effect, I am a danger to everyone… and we’ve looking for a curse because it keeps getting worse. In as much as I want you, I won’t be able to stop myself. It’s better that you leave.”

“No. Eros. Please, we can find a solution to this

Eros shook his head. He looked broken and vulnerable “I am not sure… but I don’t think I am your fated mate. Or for anyone for that matter. You deserve better, Eden. You just awakened your wolf so you might find someone else soon… and then you will forget all about me”

He was trying so hard to convince me but I could not even think of wanting someone else. I think about him all the time. His smile, the way he charmed others and everything related to him

“I won’t. Eros. I love you. Tiara loves you I said

“You think you love me. It is just an infatuation, Eden”

I folded my hands, very upset “Then why do you kiss me back?”

“I could do more. I could not only kiss you but take you to bed too. If that is what you want I can do that. Every. Single, Night,” I saw the way his gaze heated when he said those last three words.

“I will make you scream and cry my name and keep begging for more. You can be the breeder everybody assumes you are” My face fell. “You don’t mean that”

“You were honest to me so I will be honest to you. I am trying to. I cannot risk letting you tie to myself, knowing how feral I can go. I don’t have a mate, I don’t think I will ever have one. Is this the life you want for yourself?” He asked, leaving me

I staring at him with wide open eyes.

“I don’t want you to think you have no chance at living a normal life.” he whispered, before rambling “Look, Beauty is my best friend and She gets these visions which are not even true sometimes. She came up with the idea that if I find someone to stabilize my feral instinct, then she could buy some time to break the curse. That’s all she has been speaking about since the day she saw you.”

“She saw me? Where?” I asked.

Eros began to step away but I pulled him close. “Answer me, please.”

He rubbed his temple. “In one of her visions. She saw you… or rather a blurred image of a girl calming me when I turned into my beast. She also said that the odd pain I felt in my chest upon seeing you was an indication that she was right.”

I furrowed my eyebrows. “You felt pain upon seeing me?”

“Yes, that was why I was able to locate you in the crowd, during the birthday party. Beauty had said that the girl to save me was from your pack, and sha had more visions and that was why I was going to take Lyra before I met you,”

The marriage proposal with her father, or yours. was a means to have her around me and see if she would be able to help me tame my feral instincts before marrying her. But then i saw you, and thought that it had to be you. The pain I felt on seeing you had to mean something”

I boldly walked towards him as he kept speaking “The real reason I keep a distance from my pack is because I fear that I would go feral any instant and hurt them. I don’t want that. I tried hard to make Arthur, Beauty, Glinda and some others to leave me alone but they won’t budge”

This time i was closer to him, and cupped his face again. “That is because they love you. They believe in you and have faith that one day you would be completely liberated. Why don’t you believe it too?” I asked.

This was really the first time he was opening up to me and showing his vulnerability. His coldness and arrogance in this life was all to protect his loved ones.
