The Beta’s Regret

She is crazy, literally

The more I tried to run away from her, the more she pulled me close. And she does it so subtly, so unknowingly that it would always drive my Beast mad.

Eden was an addiction.

My beast and I was getting addicted.

Her little frame lay so fragile, as she relaxed visibly in my arms when I touched her.

It’s as though her body knew instinctively that she was going to be safe, that nobody would harm her while I was around.

It made me feel overjoyed and wanted.

Olivia did not really like

Olivia had been challenging her to a race and I didn’t interfere to see how she would react. I knew Oliv her and I was eager to see their interaction. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

But surprisingly, Eden proved me wrong.

Strength was important, always, but it’s never just about physical strength but the strength of the spirit, and soul.

And Eden might be physically weak but she had the heart of a warrior. I liked that quality about her

The moment I saw her at that Alpha’s daughter party, I knew. I knew she was a fighter.

Somehow, I liked that she never tried to please me, never acted cunning. She was headstrong even if she had been bullied all. her life.

Her cute little body in that tight track pants and T–shirt, though completely covered, did not hide her well enough from my/

Especially because I knew how those legs moved, how that skin felt under my touch, and how she whimpered and moaned when I kissed her, when my hands caressed her.

While running on the treadmill, she had been out of breath long ago but I just stood by the side, waiting to see how long she could

go on, how long would it be before the warrior in her would give up.

And I must say that I was not disappointed..

Hell, I was proud of my little woman.

She had the face of an angel but the tenacity and grit of a warrior, And I loved that about her.

Beast, my hybrid, was silently cheering for her, hoping that she would win, and was delighted when she actually surpassed Olivia’s speed.

I knew how much effort it must have taken for her to do that, Onlinary humans did not have the strength of a wolf.

Plus, Olivia had been training for years. She was the daughter of the most powerful alpha in my kingdom, and had received the best instructors to train her.

Hence, even if this treadmill race was a small thing, for Eden, it was a big achievement.

I could not wait for her to grow strong, awaken her wolf, and shift The thought turned me on to see her wolf but I had to hold myself back.

I had to resist the temptation, especially after what Beauty had told me a few days back. The thought had left me truly

stuben and worried about Edm

Since then I decided to put some distance from her. But now, she was safe in my arms and I could not help but gaze at her as I carried her up the stairs to her room.

Eden was drenched in sweat, and her heartbeat had quickened. She had passed out but I knew the determination that she showed would soon help her find her wolf

And I wanted to be around during her first shift.

I hoped to see her transform into the glorious she wolf she would become. I reached the floor of her room, gently pushed the door away with one of my legs, and walked in.

I was careful not to wake her, as I slowly placed her on the bed and went to throw open the windows.

She groaned a little when I was trying to put her feet together and I touched her calves.

She groaned again. She had over–stressed herself and her muscles would be stiff and sore if she did not loosen them.

But given that she was passed out, it would not be possible. I could simply ask Glinda to give her a small massage but she was busy in the kitchen.

“Liar, why don’t you admit that you can’t keep your hands off her,” my beast spoke in my head

“Shut up, I am not a creep to touch her when she is asleep I retorted to my hybrid in my head who chuckled softly.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I slowly reached for her feet and took her shoes off. Then, I slowly pulled them away and took

the socks off as well

Her feet looked red and sore so I began gently massaging her feet and heels. I heard the sigh leaving her lips and the way she twitched in her sleep, her body telling me that she needed this

I slowly knead my fingers, massaging her skin and allowing blood to flow and her muscles to relax.

Seeing that she was not waking up, I gently pulled up her track pants, only to her knees, and rolled them up.

Then I began massaging her calf too. It felt rigid and stiff like a board so hopefully this massage would allow her to walk a little when she woke up.

After around 10-20 minutes, I had turned her on her back and rubbed her back, shoulders, and legs along with most of the pain points I knew needed some gentle massaging

When I turned her back after I was done. I got up to leave, not wanting to stare stupidly at her face. But then her hand reached for mine.

I felt a little spark ignite in me when her fingers curled around mine. Was she really passed out or was she just acting)

No, she could not. No human would have the energy to act like this after burning themselves ou

A small smile appeared on my lips when I saw her behave like that. A weird fluttering sensation erupted in my stomach that I told myself was because of lack of sleep and an empty stomach

I hesitated for a second as she let go of my hand and then moved her head to the side, some of the hair falling on her face. The sweat had dried away a hit but some of it was still on her face, making her hair stick to her skin. Her hair was now plastered to her face.

“No, don’t do it,” Beast remarked as if challenging me to do the opposite and I smirked, “I wasn’t going to…”

My beast made a disgruntled sound and I ignored it as I slowly walked out of her room and closed the door behind.

She needed to rest but she would also need to eat something healthy and filling so that she does not pass out again.

Hence, I climbed down the stairs and looked for Glinda. “Where are you, Glinda?”

Glinda was, as expected, in the kitchen. She had an apron tied to her dress and bits of flour clinging to her hair.

“Yes, Your Majesty?” she came running outside and I muttered.

¥87%!

“Eden is burned out. When she gets up, give her something light at first, maybe fruit juice or something, and then get her to cat some protein. But don’t overdo it.”

Glinda nodded excitedly. “Yes sure. In fact, even Arthur gave me a big list of things she was supposed to eat in greater quantities and then some that she had to consume in moderation.”

I raised an eyebrow, “Arthur?”

Glinda nodded again, “Yep. I have a diet chart given by Beta Arthur for Eden.”

“Cool!” I mumbled and Glinda walked away.

I tried to look unaffected by it. It seemed that my Beta was getting too interested in her.

I shook my head. Arthur just was too sweet and loved helping everyone. I was getting too carried away with my emotions.

Or rather, it was my beast who was toying with them.

My beast.

My hybrid, who would soon take complete control over me if I did not do something about it.

Was he the reason I felt this urge to not take my eyes away from her whenever she appeared? Why her?

What was Eden to me? My mate? My breeder? Or my cure?

And why did I feel this irresistible pull toward her as if she was the only thing that would keep me sane and alive?

I stood there as these confusing thoughts stirred through my head.

And as if in response to the questions, a voice reached out to me breaking me out of my trance,

“Because she is your mate,
