The Beta’s Regret

“Lyra, how are you enjoying the party?” Alpha Griffin asked his daughter, as I stood beside them, waiting for them to take from the tray of drinks I was holding

Alpha Griffin had gestured for me to come over while I was serving the guests. I was dressed as the other omegas, in a white long sleeve over skimpy skirts and black stockings,

“Of course it’s going well, father. Everyone knows that King Eros is coming to marry me in a few hours time. Mother told me,” Lyra lifted her chin proudly.

Alpha Griffin caressed his stubble with a grimace “That’s great, Lyra. You are a good girl. I am so proud of you,”

“Thank you, Daddy. I promise to prioritize the pack’s welfare when I become Queen,” she said, smiling from ear to ear.

“So.” Alpha Griffin cleared his throat “how about Theo?” he asked “You had promised to marry him,

“Well, I do not care about him anymore. He can have any of these omegas of something. After all, we aren’t true mates” Lyra said condescendingly, before casting me a hard glare.

Emate

It seemed like she knew also in this life that Theo was my werewolf mate. Where is Theo by the way?

“Alpha, Theo bowed, appearing from behind me. He smiled at Lyra and extended some gifts to her “Happy Birthday,” he told her.

Thank you so much,” Lyra beamed, hugging him and kissing his cheeks. I felt no hurt, pain, no nothing. Someone soon called Alpha Griffin’s attention. He left but not without taking a drink from my tray.

“They’re so beautiful,” Lyra opened the black velvet box. Inside were sets of earrings, necklaces, and rings.

Lyra picked up an earring from the velvet cloth and stroked it with satisfaction. “You,” she gave me a sidelong glance from the corner of her eye and held out her hand. “Put this on me,

I gritted my teeth, and went to drop the tray of drinks on a nearby table. I collected the diamond earring, ready to put it on her when Theo’s suddenly interrupted.

He looked at me and smiled as if he’d just seen me “Hello, Eden‘

Lyra’s face had darkened, “You know what, you both should be together. Anyways, since i’m going to be engaged with King Eros. I give you both my blessing,” she scoffed and took the velvet box from the table. She took to her heels to Theo and I’s shock.

Theo scratched his hair and murmured incoherently. He followed Lyra afterwards, and I could see them arguing at a corner of the party.

I shook my head slowly, and sneaked outside. I kept walking till I was some distance from the party. I just–needed sometime to think my life through.

My previous life wa going well. I was happy with Eros and my Lycan family, and then the goddess rewrote my story and changed a lot of things in my world.

But why?

As I stared at the full moon in the sky, bloodied pictures of me, Eros, Olivia, Eros, Adonis, Arthur and Beauty flashed through my eyes.

Tom and Alice were standing above us with a white–like syringe staggered after the vision, and held the closest tree for support.

Suddenly I heard a “clack!.

I was immediately alert for the next second, because of my training with the Lycans.

“Who is it?” I asked loudly, contemplating going back to the party, I asked again and nobody answered. Just when I thought that it was all my thoughts, I felt a pair of strong hands suddenly held me tightly from behind..

I only felt a pain in the back of my neck, and I lost consciousness.

I felt heavy all over, like a stone was pressing down on me, and the back of my neck and ankles were aching all the time. I opened my eyes wearily, and in the blur of vision, I saw Theo,

“My Love, are you awake?” Theo crouched in front of me, and I realized that my hands were tied behind my back. A few wisp of his hair fell on his forehead, and his face had a friendly smile.

“What are you doing? Why do you have me here?” 1 exclaimed angrily.

“I’m sorry, I had to do this mate. but after Lyra announced my engagement with her, you suddenly became aloof and started avoiding me. We never even had the opportunity to make love because to you, you wanted us to do at the right time.” Theo ranted, and I watched in awe.

When did Eyra announce her engagement with Theo? But I am glad that in this life, I was wiser and refused sleeping with Theo however all that may change as I do not know his plans for having me tied here, in a forest- exactly where we first made love in my previous life.

“Lyra and I came to an agreement that I was going to have you, and she’s going to be queen of all magic creatures, and 1, I’m going to be Alpha of the silver moon pack. Which is totally fine with me. So now, I am going to have you all to myself and make sweet love with you,” Theo licked his lips and moved closer.

“What?!” my eyes widened in horror. “Let me go, I’m no ordinary person. I am a Lycan’s mate!” I tried to look angry and arrogant, but my trembling body betrayed my vulnerability. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

He laughed so hard that tears appeared at the corner of his eyes.

“My mate is such a funny creature. I like that. At least, now you’re starting to loosen up to me.” he grinned and I could see the lust in his eyes

“Look, I am not lying. What you’re about to do is going to wreck havoc to our pack,” I tried convincing him but he doesn’t budge.

His hand began to slowly pull my clothes off along the buttons. One way or the other, I am going to have you. It’s my right. as your mate. So stop this Lycan threat or whatever because it’s not going to work however If you had wanted to me stop, you could’ve come up with the rumor of you being Alpha Griffin’s daughter, and Lyra, your step–sister, maybe then I would’ve listened.”

My heart stopped beating, Chill ran down my spine.

“What did you just say?”

He shrugged, and unbuttoned the last on the sleeve. “Anyways, that doesn’t matter because I brought you here with his permission. We werewolves have a strong sense of smell, unlike you without a wolf,”

Tearselogged at my eyelids. Everything was too much. I didn’t think. I hope not.

Theo got more excited: He licked my tears, and ripped off his clothes, pressing himself against my body, his body hot, his teeth left marks on my quivering body, but I was like a log frozen in the moonlight..

I looked at the Moon. Is this what the Moon goddess had planned for me? Was that why she saved me, and gave me a second

chance.

B

Who else can save me? If only I have my Wolf back. My Tiara…

Whoooooosh. The wind began a faint howl of anger, distant and dignified.

Nick stopped what he was doing to me. He suddenly turned to look deep into the forest. Two back soulless eyes were locked. on him coldly in a dark, moonless corner.

-Shit Theo swore.

The threat in the darkness grew closer and closer, and the struggle made his eyes redden with bloodshot. Finally, he chose to

run away.

The next moment he turned and ran, a mighty Lycan rushed out of the shadows and stood in front of me.
