Chapter 51
The Beta’s Regret
Eros hand was pinning Alpha Theo against the wall by the throat. Oh no!
No, Eros please stop, please.â I pleaded, moving close to him. Dark waves radiated around him, and when he turned to look at me, I saw that his eyes had gone pit black. Soulless.
I held his arm gently. âPlease,â I begged, but he tightened his grip on Alpha Theoâs neck, snarling viciously and barring his elongated canines threateningly
I knew he was seriously contemplating killing Alpha Theo. Which could lead to a brutal war. A war between the werewolves of the silver moon pack, and my four Hybrids friends.
Thatâs not all, it could even extend to other packs because of Silvermoonâs reputation, and all hybrids in the supernatural realm because of my mateâs princely status.
It would be a disaster. Innocent lives would be lostâ¦..
The student body, all Alpha Theoâs subjects moved closer in alarm, but none of them dared move too close.
There was fear in the air.
Tom and his friends; a group of bullied werewolves watched lazily around with a crooked smile.
The Hybrids were here too. I could tell that they had no intention of interfering in any way. They were observing coolly. Beautyâs expression was unreadable as usual, Adonis looked calm and Arthur was staring on with a bored expression. He
wants some action.
Erosâ hulky body towered over Alpha Theo. He was looking down at him distastefully as though considering snapping his head off, or ripping Alpha Theoâs heart.
My heart rammed heavily against my chest. âBaby gem, please..1 pleaded softly, touching his cheek to have his attention. My other hand held tightly onto his arm.
Then I began to hum the lullaby my mom always sang for me when I had nightmares as a child. My nightmares was that of being attacked by a monsterâ I grew up later to learn that the monster was a villian breed of the Hybrids. The Enchusias However they went extinct during the reign of King Seth; Erosâ father.
âThe sun shines brightly a day where light conquers darkness..
His eyes suddenly turned from Alpha Theoâs face to rest on mine. I caressed his cheeks even softly, and he smiled.
He smiled!
âButter,â he sapphire eyes appeared. I beamed and kissed him on the cheeks.
Alpha Theo growled loudly on watching me kiss Eros.
That earned Erosâ attention again. âTalk to my mate again, or go anywhere near her and I swear Iâll end you permanently.â He told Alpha Theo quietly with a dangerous cruel smile.
Then he turned to look at me and smiled. A wide smile that showed off his sharp canines. Just when I thought he was about
Then to let Theo go, he threw him into the air.
Alpha Theo landed with a loud groan. I turned to follow Eros when Alpha Theo scrambled to his feet, and lurched to snap his sharp nails at Erosâ neck.
D
My instincts took over and in a flash, I leaped in front of Theo, grabbing his arm. I held it roughly till I heard the crunch of a bone breaking.
He howled loudly in my ear, and I flung him away; creating a huge dent on the lockers. That was for trying to hurt my mate.
âEden!â he cried loudly, and I tried not to roll my eyes.
He should be grateful. I saved his life. Eros would have ended him in the blink of an eye.
Then I crouched to his level, as he laid groaning in pain. I had broken one of his arms.
âI accept your rejection, Theo Redwood, I whispered and walked away.
âThis is not the end, Eden! I will get even!â he swore, howling and groaning on the ground.
I felt lighter as I joined my friends who were standing not to far away. Eros was with them, and he was looking at me with so much pride.
It feels good that my connection with Alpha Theo is totally severed now. I wish him well in his marriage with Lyra, and hope not to have anything to do with him in the future.
I just couldnât wait to be done with school, and go with Eros wherever our love takes us if only I was told of the danger loomingâ¦
Eros stretched his arm towards me, and I entwined it with mine We walked away, followed by the rest of the friends.
âBaby Iâm sorry.â I whispered as we walked a little farther from our friends. They understood that we needed some alone. They just hung around the school field.
âPlease Gem,â I tugged at his arm. I could feel bis anger. I donât like it when heâs angry with me.
He led me to the corner of the tall tree that stood at the center of the school.
When we got to there, he turned to look at me softly. âIâm not angry with you. Not anymore. I understand that you needed to do that⦠but I wasnât happy that you just went off with him, but I understand,â he said âIâm just mad at him, though.â
I nodded and stared up at him âThe only reason heâs still alive is because you didnât want me to kill him. Plus, I know that thereâs no way in this world he can have you. If I believed otherwise, heâd be dead by now.â
My possessive mate.
I giggled up at him âOkay, so youâre not angry with me.â
âSweetheart, you know I canât stay angry with you for too long,â he sighed. âWhat am I going to do with you?â he shook his head.
âOh, I can think of a few things⦠I leaned in
clover.
âYou looked so hot when you saved me from his attack just now his eyes darkened with something else. Passion.
I know that you were trying to save him⦠but you looked so dangerous and sexy. I swear I couldâve taken you then, in front of everyone, after you flung him away.â
âHmm, how about now⦠here? I donât mind,â 1 purred, wetting my lips.
His eyes widened as I trailed my fingers slowly to his rising bulge.
