Chapter 47
The Beta’s Regret
We arrived at my home, and Eros held me closely.
I blushed, fondling the hem of his cloth âI should go inside, take a shower, and wear a proper cloth,â
âWhatâs wrong with what youâre wearing now?â he asked.
âWell⦠Gem, you know, I began and his lips curled up into a smile.
âI like that endearment, but I donât know what youâre talking about,â he chipped in
âEros, my love,â I said, my tone dripping with sarcasm. âI am wearing my shirt, and smell likeâ¦
âLike what, Butter?â he asked wickedly. His sapphire eyes shone with amusement and mischief.
âLike⦠uhm, you know,â my cheeks were crimson red.
âNo, I donât know,â he tilted his eyebrows and moved dangerously closer âTell me, you smell like youâve just been thoroughly mated and marked? You smell like me?â He whispered into my ear. My belly clenched at the sound of his sensual voice.
His hands grab bes my waist possessively, his nose nuzzling my neck âI do think that itâs a marvelous thing. You smell like me, and I smell like you. It will serve as a warning to other men that you belong to me.â
I could feel my hunger for him building, so I quickly kissed him and ran off.
An hour later, Eros appeared in my room and took me out on a date. When we entered his white Ferrari, he crashed his lips on mine âYoure so fucking beautiful,â
I kissed him and climbed onto his laps when he snatched his lips from mine. âLetâs have dinner before I eat you myself.â
That made my stomach clench deliciously as he ignited the car. watched him under my thick eyelashes as his arm muscles flexed while be handled the car.
I watched the graceful way his sleek fingers moved as if was stroking the steering wheel, and I imagined what those fingers could do.
Suddenly he groaned âWhat?â I jolted, coming out of my reverie.
âI can feel your desire for me, Loveâ he groaned, his hands grabbing the steering wheel harder than necessary.
âOh no!â 1 gasped, turning bright tomato red. Oh Goddess, I totally forgot about that. He could totally feel me.
âI think Iâm going to lock you up in my room for a month..or fiveâ¦right after I feed you,â he mumbles to himself.
Yes, please!
Eros pulled in front of The Food Paradise, the fanciest restaurant in the city. In a flash, he was out of the car, pushing away the man about to take my hand to help me out of the car.
He handed the key to his Ferrari to the valet and led me to the shiny whire marble steps and into the grand entrance.
A very wellâgroomed woman in her early thirties hurried over even before we stepped inside the affluent restaurant.
Your Highness Prince Eros,â she greeted with a bow.
âitâs so good to see you again.â
They acknowledged me with a respectful little bow of their heads, and admiring the red dress I wore.
âCathy.â Eros acknowledged her with a polite nod.
âThey re already waiting. Your Highness,â she informed him âRight this way,â she said, extending her arm towards the
restaurant
âThey know you? You come here often?â I asked Eros, looking up at me.
âSometimes,â he answered.
I nodded, and noticed the elegant setting and the delicious smell of food. Ahhh⦠food. I was hungry,
The affluent room is filled with guests. Men in their expensive suits, and women in beautiful designer dresses. I suddenly felt like disappearing into my sanctuary. A
I sensed many of them are werewolves, and two Vampire. Conversations hushed and the wellâdressed patrons looked up as soon as we stepped in. I couldnât blame them. Eos looksd gorgeous even in just his tâshirt and jeans. His hair is carelessly and sexily mussed upâas usual
He reeked of importance and power
Thereâs also a combination of danger and reckless sex appeal that is hard to ignore.
Eros pulled me closer to him as we walked past the tables, his hand coming to grip my hip possessively.
âI canât stand it when the men stare at you like that,â he growled lowly in my ear.
Like what? All I am seeing is women eyeing him with so interest, despite having dining with their partners.
I noticed their lustful gaze at him.
When we arrived at the VIP section at the fourth floor of the building. A group of good looking men and two women come up to meet us. All Hybrids.
âPrince Eros,â they said and bowed. Eros simply pulled one of them into a hug.
âLiam,â Eros smiled at the handsome man that looked like in his midâtwenties. Eros later told me that they were members of the Kingâs loyal subjects.
Then we were led to a beautiful private room where Arthur, Adonis, and Beauty weâre already waiting.
As soon as the Kingâs subject left, Beauty engulfed me in a big hug. âYou are now one of us!â she exclaimed.
âYes!â Arthur exclaimed excitedly, while Adonis patter Eros back
Whoosh! I could feel my cheeks burning up. How did ethey know? I felt like crawling into a hole and hiding inside. When Beauty released me, Arthur wrapped his massive arms around me, and twirled me happily. Everyone was excited.
Eros growled warningly and Arthur dropped me on my feet, grinning widely.
My loverâs large arms soon pulled me into his muscled chest.
âNow the celebration,â Adonis announced, and shouts of celebration filled the air.
Eros and I may not be officially married but the mating and marking meant more to us. Once marked, the two souls are forever connected.
âHow did you all know?â I asked shyly.
âWe felt the connection as soon as you were marked,â Arthur smirked.
Oh oh⦠âNothing is private around here,â I sighed
âOh, darling be thankful. If not, decades of years ago, you and Eros would have mated in front of all the pack members attendance,â Arthur said gleefully.
Color rose to my cheeks, and I stretched to smack Arthurâs head âI know that,â
