The Beta’s Regret

Nova penned down her ideas of getting even with Theo. I simply looked away not knowing if it was a good idea to try and

get my mate back.

He had already marked Lyra and that was why the pain was so severe.

The first thing Nova wrote was for me to be intentional about males in school..

my looks and

and dress flirty to get

get the attention of unmated

She also wrote that I should flirt with some guys to make him jealous. In her words, all werewolves, especially stronger breeds, are very possessive of their mates, even with the ones they rejected.

“Really. Nova!” I said as I stared at the paper in front of me.

“Yes, Eden! You have nothing to lose if this theory works out or not,” Nova frowned, pointing at the rest of the paper for me to read more.

Oh, this girl.

The third clause had me opening my mouth in shock “Hey!!!” I protested, looking at Nova

She growled at me, her eyes color had turned brown indicating that her Wolf was about to take over “You are doing it, whether you like it or not!”

3. You are going to get yourself a boyfriend and sleep with him. Theo needs to feel the pain he puts you through when he does that

“Sign it! Alice cooed, giving me a pen.

“Even you?” I said to her. Alice was never a party to hurting one’s mate. She believed in Destiny and what the moon goddess planned.

“He doesn’t deserve your loyalty,” Alice spat

I nodded meekly, taking the pen from her hands “Okay, I signed the paper.

The girls never left my house, they simply went to their homes to bring their clothes. Today was Monday, and we all got ready for school together.

Nova rang it to my ears umpteenth that we were starting the payback operation.

“I think this is useless,” I whined as Alice did some makeup on me. They covered my broken mirror with a cloth to refrain me from seeing myself. Next, Nova picked up my clothes.

She paired a black top of mine with a white skimpy skirt- my thighs were literally in full–display. Then she brought out a pair of white thigh–length boots from her bag to complement it

I didn’t need to ask her how she got those. Her father worked as a chef at the Royal King’s Palace. They usually give their

leftovers to their staff

“Now, behold thy gorgeous self!” Alice said and removed the cloth from the mirror.

A gasp escaped my lips. I looked different and hot. My straight bonde was silky- and I was breathtaking.

“Yaay! Let’s do this! I grinned widely, turning to look at my friends. Nova wore a black skimpy gown with ankle boots while

Alice wore a bright yellow dress and some sneakers.

“Now that’s my girl!” Nova gave me a high–five as Alice hugged me tightly. We left the room confidently.

“My Goodness, you girls look stunning!” my mother exclaimed when she stood at the bottom of the stairs. I flicked my hair, swinging my hips as we got down the stairs.. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Mom.” I kissed her cheeks, hugging her. Her eyes held joy. She was happy to see that I was coming out of my shell. Olivia sat still chewing on a sandwich at our little dining outlet.

“Thank you ma’am but we would be late for school if we don’t get going. Nova replied and started to pull me from my mother. Alice chuckled, waving at my mother as we got to the door

“Wait for me.” Olivia yelled as she took a gulp of water and hurled her bag over her shoulders.

I noticed that we drew a lot of attention as we got to school. I wondered if it was because they remembered what happened at Lyra’s party or if it was because of our new looks.

Some students stopped to stare. 1 heard whispers everywhere. Tiara’s ears catching words like

“Theo’s mate” and “rejected” several times.

I hear some guys‘ nasty comments too “Damn, didn’t know Eden was this hot. I don’t mind doing her,” then some laughter. Some girls scoffed at me, mouthing at each other “Gosh, who gets rejected by their own mate?”

“How wretched and embarrassing. I would kill myself if I were her,

Whoops.

I took a deep breath and confidently lifted my head high. I smiled and swayed my hips more. Nova gave me a well–done

wink.

I spotted Theo’s wavy hair in the distance; he hadn’t noticed me. Alice tightened her grip on my arm. Theo was chatting with Chris and Adam, looking relaxed against the lockers.

At least, this time, he wasn’t with his Lyra.

My wolf, Tiara perked up and became restless the closer we got to him. We needed that route to go to our classes.

I think she hasn’t plecided whether she wants him or is furious with him for rejecting us. His delicious smell was still messing with me even though I was very determined not to feel anything towards him anymore. The mate pull was still very strong.

Chris‘ roaming eyes found me, and my body. I gave him a tiny smile, making his eyes darkened with lust.

I found Adam also staring at me and I gave him a smirk.

Theo sniffed the air and looked around. His eyes widened as soon as they landed on me. I allowed my smile to disappear, my eyes growing cold, and looked away.

Nova whispered behind me “Pha

“Phase one is a success, moving on to phase two,

“Did you see the way he was staring at you?” Nova squealed excitedly as we entered the classroom. Alice had to go to her literary class while Nova and I went for calculus.

Bra

Before I could answer, the door banged open and Theo walked in looking hard at me. Goodness, he is still so good looking and it’s killing me.

Nova sat a little distance from me. I took my seat also, bringing my books from my backpack. I tried so hard to ignore his delicious smell and turned to give Nova a smile.

Tiara was going crazy again and I decided to numb her feelings,

He slid into the seat behind me, still staring harshly at my back. I pretended not to notice and caressed my hair to the other side of my neck to show him more skin. I knew what I was doing I was showing him the spot mates Mark each other.

A low growl reached my

ears.

“This should be interesting. Nova smirked, chuckling silently.

“Hey.” I said sultrily to Chris who walked in after Theo.

“Hello beautiful, Chris smirked and gave me that slow smile that melted so many girls‘ hearts. I batted my eyelashes at him and his eyes traveled down to my neck. Chris was unmated.

A loud growl interrupted Chris. He quickly fought his emotions and went to sit before the future Alpha, Theo.

I licked my lips and turned to see Theo staring at me with a clenched jaw and dark eyes. His nose flared in

Even now he looked so hot that I just wanted to plant some kisses on his neck.

anger.

Ishook my head, mentally scolding Tiara for the picture she was making in my head.

The teacher walked in and started speaking. I wrote on a piece of paper and passed it to Nova, she read it and tried sending it back to me when the paper was ripped suddenly from her fingers. It was ripped not by our teacher, but by Theo Redwood.

He looked at the note, crumpled it, and threw it angrily against the wall.

Then he stormed out of the class, banging the door hard. The whole class and the teacher were stunned.

In the note, I had written to Nova, “Chris is so hot. He will be the perfect boyfriend!”

And then she had written back “Yes, honey. I totally vouch for this! Do him!!”
