Chapter 56
The Beta’s Regret
âLike Elder Vicenso has said, you have to be punished. You canât go Scot free for hurting the packâs officials. We arenât weak!â another elder said, and everyone else on their table concurred.
Our table, which was a distance from theirs had my friends and seated. Eros was still holding my hands warmly.
My eyes went to the strictâlooking warriors in the large hall. They were stationed strategically at every door.
When I turned to see Lyra beside Alpha Theo. She was so calm, and had a little smile playing on her lips, like she knew something I didnât know.
She sent me a wink, and I instantly became unsettled. âItâs either you come back to your mate or youâre shackled to a tree in front of everyone, beaten and stripped naked. Afterwards youâll be banished,â
Eros let out a dry laughter âYou forget whose presence youâre standing in!â he boomed at them in his hybridâs voice. They all cowered in fear.
Eros then stood to his feet, despite my tugging of his hand to sit still. There ought to be a better way to settle all of this. A more calmer, and peaceful way like the last meeting with Lord Tombull. I could feel my friends anger on the table. Beauty, Adonis andâArthur was livid.
âThe guts of you to come up with such decision,â Eros snarled, appearing at their table in a flash. He grabbed the Elder by the throat, his fangs and Canines sneaking out.
âDo you even know who youâre speaking of?!â he thundered âYou want my mate shackled, beaten and stripped naked in front of your pack. I should rid the realm off wild beasts like you,â Eros said, tightening his hold as the elderâs feet dangled helplessly in the air.
The other 5 elders, including Elder Vicenzo and the Alpha all watched in fear. Except Luna Lyra. She looked satisfied.
â1-1âam sorry, yâyour highness,â the elder stuttered.
Eros roughly threw him away, the Elder fell on the floor and passed out. Immediately, the packâs medic came to carry the elder away. It seemed like they were ready for casualties, or maybe they were mind linked.
Eros turned to approach our table, when Lyra ticked her tongue. It was subtle but enough to have all attention on her.
âNicely done, Prince Eros,â she smiled wickedly, sitting elegantly, It was then it dawned on me that she was wearing a black overflowing dress. Was she mourning?
âBut I suppose you arenât done yet? As the Prince of the supernatural realm, youâre meant to get rid of the wild beasts you mentioned earlier. So by all means, go ahead and wipe them all out⦠starting from the man beside me,â Lyra snarled, pointing to her husband.
Alpha Theoâs eyes widened. Every soul in the room was surprised
âLyra, what are you saying? Are you indirectly urging him to kill me?,â Alpha Theo asked and Lyra shrugged, standing to her
âYeah, you deserve to die like the nobody that you are.â
Ha! Everybodyâs eyes popped open. But she wasnât done yet âand who better kill you than the wild beast himself.â
She turned to Eros âBut youâve got a bigger problem coming than these measly presents,â she said, directed at the elders.
Alpha Theo suddenly stood up, âshut up!â he roared at her

âNo, you shut up!â Lyra roared back in her real Alpha tone, matching the power. She was the daughter of an Alpha after all.
âI had to submit myself, and not become the Alpha of the silvermoon pack because females arenât allowed to be Alphas. I got married to you, and still yet, you donât appreciate me. Your thoughts are ever with Eden, and how you can get back with her. Lyra thundered, and Alpha Theo looked guilty
âAs a matter of fact, you loath my presence in the bedroom. Iâm never good enough. But the more disrespectful part is when you want to make plans on getting Eden back, and you ask for my suggestions or better still make sure that I am there while you have your ceaseless meetings about her,â
Then she laughed hysterically, and pointed to everyone seated in the hall âNone of you are leaving here alive,â
The main door suddenly slammed shut, and more footsteps trooped in. I lifted my face to saw Alice and Theo walking in with a smirk.
