The Beta’s Regret

The next day after the fight, I didn’t see Eros at training. I even texted him but got no response.

After leaving the training ground to my room, I suddenly felt curious to search about him on the internet. He may be the contemporary hybrid king of the supernatural realm now but 1just wanted to know….

I searched, and searched but there was nothing of him on the internet. Like he doesn’t exist.

I ruffled my hair at that. There was not even a photo of him anywhere, nor a mention.

Why would he hide from everyone? I wondered, but then recalled that even I was nowhere to be found on the internet, and that was because of the life swap after Lyra, Alice and Tom’s attempted murder or successful killing of the hybrids.. I don’t even know…

A few hours later, there was a knock on the door. I realized that had fallen asleep with my phone on my face.

I mumbled incoherently and tried to ignore the sound but the door flew open the next minute “Girl, get up and get dressed. You are required to be present at the

meeting

Glinda’s voice reached my ears, but I was too sleepy to care’Go away,”

* So

I could feel her glaring at me with her hands on her hips. The Hybrid King Eros asked me to get you dressed and ready. you–better get up or I’ll throw a bucket of cold water on you!

What?

I sprang up at the mention of his name. Eros

My hair was flying in all directions, and I could only stare stupidly at her. Glinda was quite satisfied with the threat.

“Me? What meeting?”

She nodded, “Yes, you. There is no other Eden in the pack, is there?”

I croaked while rubbing the sleep off my eyes, “What’s it all about, and why?”

Instead of answering, she walked towards me and pulled me into a sitting position as she saw me slumping down again.

“You have stirred a lot of gossip amongst all the packs” she said

“How?”

She pulled me away from the bed and made me stand, because she feared that I would go to bed again.

“I am not sure, but I believe everybody wants to know the girl that the Hybrid King took in. You are a first”

1 grumbled, not liking the fact that they wanted to see me put on display “But they already saw me at the ball.” I protested, but Glinda shook her head and dragged me to the bathroom.

“Co wash your face Lrst She answered while I scrubbed my face clean and tried to get rid of the sleep,

“You were hiding in a corner for the entire night. You danced with the King. I heard, but most of the alphas, betas had left to find their anates. Barely a few were around the dance floor” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Why is that my fault?” I bickered, but she shook her head again

“Ask the King when you see him. Now come back here. I have work to do.” She said while handing me a towel and walking

towards the wardrobe.

“Hmm, it’s been a while since I helped anybody get dressed. My specialities lie in the kitchen, not in dressing up and makeup.”

I patted my face dry and muttered, “It’s okay. I’ll not be there for long either way. I can wear a simple gown and just dabi some powder and I am good to go.” I offered, but Glinda shook her head.

“You have no idea how important pack meetings are. Only the beas get to attend them along with the alphas. And everybody follows a dress code when attending such meetings. Do you want to embarrass the King in front of the others?” She asked, and I shook my head.

I had already heard Olivia lament of how I was embarrassing the King by being a weakling. So I did not want to give anybody a reason to think of me as weak.

“Ok fine. But don’t stress yourself so much. I will not walk into the meeting looking like a clown.”

“If only Beauty was here. She’s an expert in makeup and can make you look like a stunning Queen.”

I laughed. “She has other things to do then helping me get ready, Don’t you think?”

But then I heard a voice, “Not really”

I turned to look at Beauty standing near the door, She was wearing a formal dress, nude trousers, a cream colored crop top and big, round earrings.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she looked stunning,

“Hey Beauty.” I waved at her and she walked in with a smile.

“I was running towards Eros‘ office, but I heard my name, so I stopped.” she said and Glinda looked at her with relief,

“Thank the Goddess you are here. I can’t tell a stocking from a sock, so I will leave her in your able hands and return to my kitchen duties. See you?

Beauty looked at me with a tinge of excitement. “Let’s get started then. The meeting should start in a few minutes time.” And then she leaned in and whispered, “Plus, today is the full moon, so I hope after tonight, things are going to change for

you and Eros.”
