The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)

Sand, arena, Shauna shoving me to the ground. I had won the trials and passed out due to exhaustion of taking a man twice my size for the first time.

Eros sat in front of me, looking me dead in the eye "I take it that you thought

engagin in the trial was going to be a glorious adventure, and so you set off on without my permission. I don't think I have it in me to keep asking why you keep doing stuff I don't want you to. So, instead, I will ask, what do you want?" I blinked. His tone was mix of being calm and angry, I didn't want to push my luck so i just said "Shower"

"What?" He asked with a baffled look.

"Shower and food," I said, and at that exact moment, my stomach rumbled loudly.

I expected Eros to grow angry, but instead a chuckle escaped his lips. The chuckle turned into full blown laughter as he clutched his stomach with his hands.

"You want food, and to shower!" He said, standing from the chair and raking a hand through his hair. I looked up at him warily and hesitated to smile, but seeing him laugh made me feel better.

I stared at him stupidly, until he banged a hand on the back of the chair, startling me. In a second, he turned around and was upon me. His face was inches from mine as he asked,

"Do you have any idea how risky it was for you yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" I looked at him in confusion, and he nodded his head.

"Yes. yesterday. You were passed out for almost twelve hours. And you had not eaten anything before you decided to be flung yourself in the arena."

"But I had breakfast. I added meekly.

"You had breakfast? The doctor told me you had eaten almost nothing for the entire day and yet you trained for hours, and then fought, and fought with a man

He looked at me curiously and I did not think "Your mate from another life" would satisfy him as an answer.

So I muttered "I am... your pack member."

"I was in a very important meeting, so I had given specific instructions to my men to keep an eye on you. But neither seemed to mind that you not just disrespected my word, but worked against it. "They are not at fault. I asked Arthur about the rules. The trials were held for newly awakened in this land and I am one."

Eros rubbed his temple with his forefinger, snapping at me again, "Yes, rules that you found a loophole from to show just how you don't respect me.

"Sorry" I meekly replied.

"You don't get to always wriggle out with a sorry. No, I am done being lenient with you." My eyes went to the trophy that was. placed on the bedside table. I was supposed to get a reward from him. Maybe this was my reward. getting yelled at by him. Eros was so complicated.

He noticed the way my eyes were staring at the trophy, he sighed deeply, rubbing his temples "Well, now you want your reward Go ahead, ask for it.
