The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 4

Nova penned down her ideas of getting even with Theo. | 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 forto be intentional about males in school..

my looks and

and dress flirty to get

get the attention of unmated

She also wrote that | should flirt with sguys 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!” | said as | 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 forto read more.

Oh, this girl.

The third clause hadopening my mouth in shock “Hey!!!” | 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, givinga pen.

“Even you?” | 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

| nodded meekly, taking the pen from her hands “Okay, | 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,” | whined as Alice did smakeup on me. They covered my broken mirror with a cloth

to refrainfrom 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

| 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. | looked different and hot. My straight bonde was silky- and | was breathtaking.

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

boots while

“My Goodness, you girls look stunning!” my mother exclaimed when she stood at the bottom of the stairs. |

flicked my hair, swinging my hips as we got down the stairs..

“Mom.” | kissed her cheeks, hugging her. Her eyes held joy. She was happy to see that | 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.

| noticed that we drew a lot of attention as we got to school. | wondered if it was because they remembered what

happened at Lyra’s party or if it was because of our new looks.

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

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

slaughter. Sgirls scoffed at me, mouthing at each other “Gosh, who gets rejected by their own mate?”

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

Whoops.

| took a deep breath and confidently lifted my head high. | smiled and swayed my hips more. Nova gavea

well-done

wink.

| 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 becrestless the closer we got to him. We needed that route to go to our

classes.

pull was still very strong.

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

| found Adam also staring atand | gave him a smirk.

Theo sniffed the air and looked around. His eyes widened as soon as they landed on me. | allowed my smile to

disappear, my eyes growing cold, and looked away.

Nova whispered behind“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 | went for calculus.

Before | 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. | took my seat also, bringing my books from my backpack. | tried so hard to

ignore his delicious smell and turned to give Nova a smile.

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

He slid into the seat behind me, still staring harshly at my back. | pretended not to notice and caressed my hair

to the other side of my neck to show him more skin. | knew what | was doing | was showing him the spot mates

A low growl reached my

ears.

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

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

“Hello beautiful, Chris smirked and gavethat slow smile that melted so many girls’ hearts. | 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.

Even now he looked so hot that | just wanted to plant skisses on his neck.

The teacher walked in and started speaking. | wrote on a piece of paper and passed it to Nova, she read it and

tried sending it back towhen 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, | had written to Nova, “Chris is so hot. He will be the perfect boyfriend!”

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