The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 45

Chapter 45

"I have waited all my life for you; one hundred lonely years.." Eros continued "You're my mate. Call me selfish, but I'm never letting you go."

"What about Susie?" I suddenly spat out, unable to keep it in any longer. He can not have us both. I did not escape from being Theo's mistress to become Eros' second choice.

It was painful to have Theo talk and treat me that way. It would kill me if I'll go through the same with Eros.

His eyebrows rose in surprise. It was replaced with a frown. I was like he wasn't expecting me to bring her up.

""What about her?"

"Aren't you in love with her? Aren't you going to keep her too?" I asked fiercely

"What??" he muttered, looking appalled. "Why would you think that?"

"I know, Eros. I know that you wanted to have fun with her during your royal duties. That was why you left me here!" I snapped.

"Well, I won't be anyone's second choice or mistress.

Next time you want to spend time alone her, don't even bother to lie... because... I won't be here for you to lie to. You two can spend all the time alone together. Forever!!" I yelled, before stomping my feet to make my grand exit. Gosh! I sounded like a jealous wife!

His powerful arm wrapped around my waist so fast, ruining my dramatic escape. Arrgh! Couldn't this man let me have some of the little dignity I have left?

He pulled me to him, turning me to face him. Then he chuckled "You're jealous,"

I shook my head in denial but he held me tightly "That's it? All of this is because you're jealous?" he asked, sounding amazed, and happy.

"There's no other man, is there? You're just jealous," he chuckled more, and almost starts laughing.

I glared at him, and tried to move my hardened breast nipples from his chest. Gosh! This is so complicated.

"You're jealous? Of Susie?" he asked again "But my Love, I have no interest in Susie at all.

She's just a friend. You're my mate; the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in all of my existence,

That sent a warmth to my belly. But I poked his shoulder "you cike her sides everytime! Remember when I told you that she was hurting me and my friends with her power. You took her sides. You even scolded me. You chose herover me." I said. feeling the hurt all over ag "Oh, Butter.." he whispered, kissing my temple "I'm so sorry. I didn't realize that Lwas doing that, or hurting you. It's the last thing I ever want to do. I would never ever choose anyone over you. Please forgive me, Butter,"

"What about your trip to the palace? Susie told me how you both had fun alone. She said you went there to be alone with her, and from me, I murmured.

He clenched his jaw. "I see... It seems like she has been very busy telling you things. When did she tell you? What else did she tell you"

"She came to my house some days back, and told me to back of She said you both love each other, and will be getting back Chapter 45

together again. She insinuated that I was the stumbling block, and that you are simply onto me because of the mate bond

She said you'll chose her over me anytime." it may seem petty but I was simply pouring out my emotions. Beauty said that I should speak, and that is what i'm doing.

"I see," his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

"She said that you two were lovers and are going to be mates," I muttered, unable to keep the hurt from my voice. It reminded me of Theo's betrayal

"We are going to be mates?" Eros scoffed loudly. He seemed to replace the idea absurd, and looked furious.

"Butter, what we had was a thing of the moment. It happened once, and that was when I lost Regina. I wasn't in the right mind, and was grieving. It didn't even make me feel better, but bitter afterwards. I do regret it, Eden."

1 nodded and leaned more into his touch "Believe me,, one touch, one glance from you means a lot more to me than that

one time.....

I even apologized to her, and we came to an agreement to wait for our mates. I didn't think she wanted more. I have had one lonely hundred years, I had been waiting for you... I have no intention of ever making anyone else my mate, but you. My beautiful Butter, you're w My lips slowly curled up into a smile. My heart was getting lighter.

He continued. "As for the Royal duties, I didn't invite her. She decided to come with us. And honestly, I didn't even her at all back because I was still very mad at how she interrupted our errm sanctuary session," his eyes flashed in talk to remembrance. His thumb quickly found my right nipple. He pinched it, and my cheeks flushed red.

"I didn't see her in the palace, until we were to come back. Theres so much happening in the kingdom but I even had to hasten it because I was missing you so much... but no more. Love, I can't be away from you ever again.

I am never leaving you behind. I already have some strategies up on my sleeves, so that I'll be with you-

be at peace knowing that you're here, and not hundreds of miles away. Not worrying if you were safe or that any other males was trying To get close to you" He cleared his throat

"I have been feeling jealous, and thinking of the worst for the last couple of days... I drove everyone crazy because I wanted to take you and mark you as mine, but I didn't want you to hate me for doing it forcefully.

I want you to want it as much as I did. These last couple of days were pure torture... Butter, now will you forgive me?"

"You always had Susie hanging on your shoulder,

I thought you chose her. I thought you both were getting back again,"

"Butter, we were never together to begin with. It has always been you for me." he whispered sultrily.

"So you don't love her?" I asked, biting my lips.

"No, I don't. It's you I love," he said, staring at me with so much intensity, warmth and love: "Forgive me?"

"Maybe, I shrugged, trying to push back my happy smile. But it betrayed me still.

"Well, nothing happened between me and Theo at the party, not with Tom; the vampire or Adams. Actually I ran from the party and Adam helped, that was how we got talking. Nothing more. I confessed. "I'm glad you ran, my love. This time I now appreciate your running skills," he said, and I chuckled.

"Still, I do not trust any of them. I can see in their eyes that they want my girl. They are smitten by you. Everytime I'm not in the picture, they're always there waiting, Justing and hoping..."

I placed a finger on his lips to hush him. "Sssh," I whispered, wetting my lips sexily "I don't care about any of them. It's you I

want."

In a second he had grabbed my buttocks, my legs wrapping over his sides. The look in his eyes took my breath away. Those intense beautiful sapphire eyes are staring into mine with so many emotions. "And it's you I need." he uttered, his fingers tracing the line of my lips "Will you be mine? Will you spend forever with me?"

"Yes." I whispered, whining my wet coochie on his hardened bulge.

Gently he placed me on the ground and removed his last clothing-

When his massive member entered me, the entire landscape shook at the sound of my scream.
