The Beta’s Regret

“Like Elder Vicenso has said, you have to be punished. You can’t go Scot free for hurting the pack’s officials. We aren’t weak!” another elder said, and everyone else on their table concurred.

Our table, which was a distance from theirs had my friends and seated. Eros was still holding my hands warmly.

My eyes went to the strict–looking warriors in the large hall. They were stationed strategically at every door.

When I turned to see Lyra beside Alpha Theo. She was so calm, and had a little smile playing on her lips, like she knew something I didn’t know.

She sent me a wink, and I instantly became unsettled. “It’s either you come back to your mate or you’re shackled to a tree in front of everyone, beaten and stripped naked. Afterwards you’ll be banished,”

Eros let out a dry laughter “You forget whose presence you’re standing in!” he boomed at them in his hybrid’s voice. They all cowered in fear.

Eros then stood to his feet, despite my tugging of his hand to sit still. There ought to be a better way to settle all of this. A more calmer, and peaceful way like the last meeting with Lord Tombull. I could feel my friends anger on the table. Beauty, Adonis and–Arthur was livid.

“The guts of you to come up with such decision,” Eros snarled, appearing at their table in a flash. He grabbed the Elder by the throat, his fangs and Canines sneaking out.

“Do you even know who you’re speaking of?!” he thundered “You want my mate shackled, beaten and stripped naked in front of your pack. I should rid the realm off wild beasts like you,” Eros said, tightening his hold as the elder’s feet dangled helplessly in the air.

The other 5 elders, including Elder Vicenzo and the Alpha all watched in fear. Except Luna Lyra. She looked satisfied.

“1-1–am sorry, y–your highness,” the elder stuttered.

Eros roughly threw him away, the Elder fell on the floor and passed out. Immediately, the pack’s medic came to carry the elder away. It seemed like they were ready for casualties, or maybe they were mind linked.

Eros turned to approach our table, when Lyra ticked her tongue. It was subtle but enough to have all attention on her.

“Nicely done, Prince Eros,” she smiled wickedly, sitting elegantly, It was then it dawned on me that she was wearing a black overflowing dress. Was she mourning?

“But I suppose you aren’t done yet? As the Prince of the supernatural realm, you’re meant to get rid of the wild beasts you mentioned earlier. So by all means, go ahead and wipe them all out… starting from the man beside me,” Lyra snarled, pointing to her husband.

Alpha Theo’s eyes widened. Every soul in the room was surprised Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Lyra, what are you saying? Are you indirectly urging him to kill me?,” Alpha Theo asked and Lyra shrugged, standing to her

“Yeah, you deserve to die like the nobody that you are.”

Ha! Everybody’s eyes popped open. But she wasn’t done yet “and who better kill you than the wild beast himself.”

She turned to Eros “But you’ve got a bigger problem coming than these measly presents,” she said, directed at the elders.

Alpha Theo suddenly stood up, “shut up!” he roared at her

“No, you shut up!” Lyra roared back in her real Alpha tone, matching the power. She was the daughter of an Alpha after all.

“I had to submit myself, and not become the Alpha of the silvermoon pack because females aren’t allowed to be Alphas. I got married to you, and still yet, you don’t appreciate me. Your thoughts are ever with Eden, and how you can get back with her. Lyra thundered, and Alpha Theo looked guilty

“As a matter of fact, you loath my presence in the bedroom. I’m never good enough. But the more disrespectful part is when you want to make plans on getting Eden back, and you ask for my suggestions or better still make sure that I am there while you have your ceaseless meetings about her,”

Then she laughed hysterically, and pointed to everyone seated in the hall “None of you are leaving here alive,”

The main door suddenly slammed shut, and more footsteps trooped in. I lifted my face to saw Alice and Theo walking in with a smirk.
