The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 207

(Eros Pov)

Susie had gone too far. It wasn't just about how bold she was to utter such words against my mate, it was the

way she said it, the way she kept saying Eden was not worth the decisions | made. She gasped, but my hold was

too tight for air to cout freely.

"How dare you? Eden is my mate. My life. Your future queen. | command you to submit to her."

She clawed at my throat, but I refused to loosen my grip. Even though she begged for breath, | could see that

she hadn't accepted my decree.

"Please Eros." She begged.

| squeezed harder.

| felt a great urge to snap her neck. It wouldn't takeanything to dig my claws into her and draw blood until

she was lifeless. | began to lose focus.

She suddenly nodded weakly and said very weakly. "Yes" before | released her.

She fell with a deeply drawn breath. She began to inhale and exhale quickly. Her eyes went bloodshot, and tears

flowed down her face as she gavea frightened look.

| bent to her level and said coldly. "Listen Susie. You will never talk about my mate in that way again. You no

longer have a right to call her by her name, and you must never look her in the eyes. She is queen no matter

what you say, and she will rule with me. Is that clear?" Susie gave a stiff nod. Her mouth opened, but she only

made a strangled sound.

"| said, is that clear?" | frowned. | managed to hear her voice clearly.

"Yes." She finally said.

| looked at her for a moment, unsatisfied. Then | stood up, turned and walked away, just as Susie burst into a

loud cry. The sound echoed in the dark night, but | refused to acknowledge it.

It was best | addressed her lack of regard for Eden.

Susie had crossed the line. | had given her too much freedom to helpwith the ritual process. Now she

assumed she has a right to say what she wants.

It was not something that would ever happen.

Susie would never be more than a companion in hard times. | knew she expected more, but | had nothing else to

offer.

Eden was mine.

| could sense her. She was still in a strange place. The splace | was thirty days before now.

| needed Beast's help. Beast was the only one who could helpfind Eden faster.

"Taketo her." | said.

And with the beast's help, | made my way out of the sacred ground to the vampire coven.

By the t| got to the coven and stopped at Lord Shevek's house, it was way past midnight. The night was still.

There were no sounds.

| couldn't wait to see Eden. | had suffered the longest five weeks of my entire life while | stayed away from her.

| feared she might not welcme either, but | wanted to try.

| slipped into the shadows, and the first thing that hitwas her scent. All through, there were just traces of

her, but now it seemed to be everywhere. It engulfed the whole place.

My instincts guidedthrough the hallway and finally cto a stop in front of a door.

I tried it. It was unlocked.

| slipped into the room, and | almost groaned at the full scent that hithard.

The only source of light in the room was a bedside lamp that was lit halfway.

| went closer towards the bed and saw Eden on it. She was curled up on her side, and her hand rested

protectively on her stomach. Her blonde hair was sprawled like a pillow around her, and | chuckled. Moonlight

filtered through the opened window, and there was something it did to her figure.

She was beautiful.

| moved closer again. | suddenly caught a faint scent. It wasn't something | was used to around her. It smelt like

A pup?

My face morphed into confusion, and then it suddenly hit me.

I froze.

Could this be true? Or | was just imagining it. | lifted my nose into the air again and sniffed. | was It

was a pup.

Eden was pregnant. She's carrying my child. Our child.

My eyes widened. There was no way | would mistake it. And the way she laid protectively, placing her hand on

her stomach, was a subconscious way of protecting something

| brushed my hands over her face, pushing back strands of hair until | saw her clearly.

"Eden!" | said softly.

She made a soft grunt in protest and soon opened her eyes. She smiled, dreamily.

"I missed you." She said in a whisper. "I can't wait for you to cback."

| chucked. "Does she think she's dreaming?"

"Eden, I'm here."

She suddenly sat up and swung her arms around my neck. | melted into her embrace and dug my head into her

neck.

She ran her hands through my hair and pulledinto a kiss. It was sweet and tender; my lips moved softly over

hers.

"I missed you." She said again.

"I missed you more." | said with a rough chuckle.

| felt my length harden.

She moved deeper into the bed and draggedalong with her. | went willingly.

Her hands desperately roamed over my body. She pulled at my clothes, and | helped her get rid of them.

Soon, we were both naked, our skin pressed against each other.

| cupped her breasts in one hand and squeezed lightly, She moaned and threw her head back.

Her hand reached for my length, and she stroked, each movement drew a desperate moan from me.

When | couldn't take it anymore,

| grabbed her and laid her on the bed. She opened herself up for me, wet and ready.

| stroked myself once and rubbed against her clip back and forth. She arched her back in pleasure and grabbed

the sheets. Without hesitation, I plunged in.

| buried myself deep within her and made a slight rotation with my hips. | saw her eyes roll back in pleasure.

Then | pulled out and entered again. Faster this time. | went back and forth until we were both lost in ourselves.

When | felt myself swell, | hit her with two deep thrusts and spilled into her.

"Eros..." Eden screamed and clutched my back with her hands.

She trembled beneathas she came, and I smiled.

"I love you." | whispered.

| didn't get a response. All | got was soft snores.

She was asleep.

| laughed and cuddled her, as | found sleep quickly.
