The Beta’s Regret

Eden’s Pov

The fight was bloody. Eros fought skillfully and dauntlessly, he was fast and agile, dodging attacks and striking back at the rogues while remaining on his two feet.

Even though the ritual was complete, I think he still fears losing control.

My heart pounded with fear and adrenaline. I remembered the training Eros and Arthur had given me. With each strike I felt . stronger and powerful. Tiara, my wolf was more powerful.

I managed to dodge a rogue that lunged at me, using my speed to evade its sharp claws. My past training pair off as I fought alongside Eros and Arthur.

The rogues kept coming, their eyes gleaming with hunger. We were almost outnumbered.

I watched Eros looked around with glint of fear in his eyes. Suddenly, he rushed to where I stood and grabbed me. Before I could speak, he captured my lips and kissed me passionately, pouring all his feelings into the moment

He whispered “If I don’t make it out alive, I want you to know that I love you,”

A chill ran through me. What was he saying? He loves me, after all these while? Oh goodness!

“Eros, please don’t say that! You can’t…”

He cut her off gently. “I need you to trust me. This is the only way.” He said, hearing the cries of his pack members “It’s the only way to protect our pack from the rogue King and his men. I can’t let them overpower us

“I’m sorry for how I’ve acted” he continued, his voice heavy with regret. “I thought pushing you away would keep you safe from the monster I could become. I didn’t want to hurt you.”

I shook my head, tears welling in my eyes. “Please, Eros, don’t go. You can fight without shifting! You don’t have to give in to the beast! We’re still yet to learn how this anchor thing works,”

He cupped my face in his hands, searching my eyes. “I wish it could be different. But I can’t risk my pack’s safety. I won’t let Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

them suffer because of me.”

With a deep sigh, he leaned in and kissed me once more, pouring all his emotions into that moment, his love, and his fear.

Eros turned and sprinted without a backward glance. I watched his muscles ripple with power as he transformed into the mighty beast.

I was scared, watching him go. When Beauty did the ritual, it was still a belief that it would work. What if it didn’t? What if, as his anchor, I’m unable to bring him back from his beastly mode? What if this time, I lost him forever?

What if he became a beast forever? These thoughts filled my mind with dread.

I ran in the direction Eros had gone, pushing through the fighting as my heart pounded in her chest.

I needed to reach him, to make sure he was safe. When I got there, I saw that the rogue King and his minions had managed to overpower Eros.

The sight sent a chill down my spine. Eros was fighting hard, but the rogues were relentless. They surrounded him, teeth bared and eyes full of rage.

But then, something shifted. Eros broke free from the rogue King’s grip. With a primal roar, he began to kill the rogues one by one, his movements fluid and powerful. The ground shook with each blow, and the air was filled with the sounds of battle, growls, snarls, and the clash of weapons. Eros was fierce and unstoppable, a true force of nature. He overpowered the rogue warriors and saved his people.

But just when everyone thought the battle was over, and his pack members were beginning to thank the moon goddess…

Eros suddenly turned. In a shocking twist, he began attacking his own pack members.

Confusion and horror spread through everyone. The screams were louder and more terrifying.

at heart sank when I realized what was happening Eros had lost control, and his beastly instincts had taken over.

No Fros” I screamed, my voice full of panic. I pushed through the crowd, desperate to reach him. I could see the pain and rage on his face. He swung his claws wildly, not recognizing friend from foe. The blood of rogues mixed with the blood of his own pack, treating a scene of absolute horror.

My worst fear was confirmed. The ritual had not worked as I had hoped. I felt a wave of despair wash over me. Eros was lost to ho beast, and I could do nothing to bring him back.
