âIf you want I could talk to him, and try to clear the misunderstanding King Eros has about you. It was I who kept you busy with my stuff. I spoke but Arthur shook his head.
âThereâs no need for that, really. It is okay. I know Eros thinks good about me so he has the right to be angry with me.â
âAre you sure?â I asked and Arthur nodded,
Yeah, you are getting too worked up
I did not want to talk further about him so I only replied. âAbout my failed transformation, can you help me a bit?â
1 asked in a sincere voice and Arthurâs face immediately brightened âWhat about it?â
1 bit my lip nervously. âUh, the way we raced together today. I feel that if somebody guides me to train and strengthen my body. I would do better at handling the next shifting.â
âAh, so that is why you were running around in the dark of the night?â He asked and I did a fake grumble.
âHey, I did not run in the middle of the night, okay? I was just unsure of what to do next.â I replied and he chuckled.
Yes, Iâll definitely help you with your training. Our pack has many pups who recently shifted. So, yours wouldnât be a problem.â
Inervously chewed on my lip. âYes, I just want to be prepared for the next full moon. Thus I have one month to train myself
Arthur placed a hand on my shoulder, âDonât be too hard on yourself. Thereâs a full moon every month.â
He tried to cheer me up but then I muttered under my breath, âThe sooner I learn how to be a wolf, the better, I do not want to get yelled at for nothingâ
âOh come on. I know him. He is a nice
guy.â
I snorted, âNice, really?â
Arthur replied, âDonât you think so? He gave you a separate room, and asked the best doctors to care for you. Even helped you when you were alone in the forest.â
Iâd figured that out, âYeah, and its only because he needs me for this anchor or cure stuff that none of you are telling me the full detail about.â I said and before he could say another word. I heard a voice.
âOuch, can you not stand in the middle of the door?â
I looked behind Arthur to see Beauty rubbing her forehead and glaring at Eros who merely shrugged at her.
When had he arrived? I wondered as he replied, âIf you look up instead of your phone while walking, you will see that you walked into a wall, not the door.
Beauty rolled her eyes at him and looked at Arthur and me. âHey guysâ
Both us waved at her and she came to talk to us, leaving Eros standing by the door. He raised an eyebrow but did not say anything
me towards Arthur and said, âArthur, can you give me the number of that car washing center? I wanted them to pick my car up but I lost contact
× ×
Arthur immediately pulled out his phone and sent her a text message with the number while I only watched.
âHey, what about you?â He suddenly asked.
âMe! I dont have a car to washâ I answered and he touched my nose playfully.
âSo, whereâs your mobile phone. I want to have your contact,â
I shook my head. âWell, I donât have one, because I couldnât afford one at the time.â
My mother and I couldnât afford a mobile phone at Alpha Griffinâs house. We were simply too interested in doing our jobs and eating a good meal to bother about that
I wanted to tell them that I had a phone in my previous life when we; Eros, Arthur, Beauty and Adonis were all living together, but certainly, if I tell them now, they would freak out.
Beautyâ eyes went sad. âhow about I buy you one?â
I shook my head. âThank you so much, but do not worry, I should get it for myself soon
But she was persistent âcome on, please. We need to stay in touch with you, and having a mobile in these modern times is;
necessityâ
Beauty then suddenly came up with an idea. âEros, can we take her along with us?â
Eros was busy doing something on his phone but looked up when she mentioned me. And it was then that he finally looked at me. It had only been a day that he had not looked me
It felt like years to me.
His eyes bore into mine and a lot of emotions erupted within me at once. But his gaze didnât stay on me for long. He looked away just after a second and I felt all my hopes and feelings crumble.
Why doesnât he see me the way I see him?
âNo, it should be only us, you know that.â He said, making his blunt rejection hurt me a lot.
Beauty placed a hand beneath my chin. âOh come on. Look at the poor girl. She just had her first shift. I can message her important stuff without having to meet her in person every time.
âWhat important stuff?â I asked and Beauty only mumbled, âI mean, girl stuff, you knowâ
Eros shrugged and walked outside the door, âIf you are not coming. I would go alone
âWait, Beauty said and dragged me along with her.
Eros had climbed down the front steps of the porch, while Beauty dragged me and said in a loud voice.
âShe is coming with us. I just asked the car guy to pick up my car from here. I donât have a car to take her to a shop now.â
Eros pinched the bridge of his nose, âThen get her the phone tomorrow. Whatâs the big deal about it?â
I felt very bad with the way Eros was suddenly treating me and Liried to speak to Beauty.
There is no need for it, Beau. You can go to your meeting. I told you I would get a phone sometime.â
Meanwhile, Arthur who was silent all this time, came up with an idea âHey, I have an idea. I can take her to a shop with me and get her a mobile and a sim card.

You guys can go to your meeting wherever that is
Beauty perked up at that. âOh, that is great. Well, then that is settled.â
But Eros suddenly interjected, âArthur, I had asked you to do something.â
Arthur nodded his head vigorously, âI know. King The task will be completed today itself and then I will take Eden outside. Arthur suggested but apparently Eros did not seem happy.
At that same moment, Beautyâs phone beeped and she checked a âOh shoot. I totally forgot I had to go to the saloon today: Iâd booked in advance
Eros rolled his eyes, âYou cannot be serious now, Beauty. This meeting is important.â
Beauty quickly typed something on her mobile and was done âSee. I just messaged them to change the meeting to a later date. They agreed also.
Eros was apparently done with their stupid behavior so he just muttered âYou know what? I will go to my office and get that file completed.
He had begun walking outside but Beauty stopped in front of him âNo, you are not going in. Just work work all day. Go outside, step in the sun a little
Eros smirked, âWhat am I? A vampire?â
Beauty rolled her eyes, You know what? I will get Arthur to drop me to the saloon while you go get the mobile for Edenâ âWhat?â I blurted out and then quickly bit my lip but apparently the shock and unwillingness were evident in my voice. âYes, she is going to need your help. I noticed how you both are not even talking to each other from the past half an hour that we four are here.
King Eros did not reply but he simply climbed up the stairs and went in through the door.
âEros, please. You know why I am doing this,â
Eros dropped his shoulders and looked at her miserably, âI really donât see the need for this, Beauty,â And the way he was showing his discomfort and absolute disinterest was starting to irk me.
âBeauty, I do not need anything. I will go to my room and get some sleepâ I said because I didnât want to hear Eros keep stating reasons to not be around me.
It was hurting me and I had no clue what I had done for him to suddenly be so aloof. Even Arthur turned around with me and we both entered the mansion.
I said. âWe can discuss my training regime after you finish your work. I need some guidanceâ
Arthur nodded as head and replied, âGive me two hours. I will also detail a diet plan for you and create a training schedule. for you.
I smiled in delight. âYou are the best
From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Beauty had walked in too and she began chatting with Arthur.
He looked at me with a soft smile and mouthed
âNo problem,â before heading in the opposite direction with her And, I decided to head towards my room but then a voice
called to the
10:43 Fri, Oct 25 T.
âStopâ
I turned around to see Eros glaring at me.
âGet inside the car. Now!â
