Chapter 108
My ears twitched at that name. Arthur promptly disconnected the call while I stood staring at him in surprise.
Were my ears deceiving me?
“Did you get a scolding again from the King?” I asked, pretending to not have heard him take some other name.
Arthur slipped the phone in his jeans pocket and mumbled, “Oh not really. The King had to leave for some urgent meeting and Olivia does not want me to disturb them.”
My face fell.
“Oh, I didn’t know she was a part of official meetings.”
I commented.
Arthur shrugged. “Her father is respected among all the packs. You could say that other than Eros himself, the other alphas listens to her father. So, it is important that the two work closely together
I nodded bat had to ask. “But why would King Eros and Olivia need an alliance? He’s strong and powerful on his own.”
It is sad that in this life. Olivia and I share different families.
“He is. No doubt about that. But the rogue king has been terrorizing a lot, making the king feel that he needs help.”
Eros had always thought of himself as invincible, untouchable.
Arthur then added. “It is not his own life that he fears, but his friends and close ones. There were sudden attacks that almost killed Beauty. And after that, he invested a lot of time and money in devising new strategies and upgrading the security of the packhouse and this mansion as well.”
Tunderstand. He is responsible for everyone’s safety, not just his own pack.”
Arthur agreed. “Yes, and as much as I would like to keep you company, I have things to do. It is almost evening now, so you could probably take a stroll through the garden or just rest a linle-
“Sure” I replied
I had coerced him to be with me all day, but I knew I couldn’t keep him around 24/7. Plus, I did not want Olivia to snap at
him for no fault of his.
Thus, I did not pester him more. After he left, I walked towards my room, but everything around me reminded me of the arrogant hybrid.
Icould see his office as I climbed up the stairs and recalled the way his hands had caressed me when I had spilled hot tea all over, then I reached my room where I had begged him to sate my heat.
I groaned in frustration.
In wanting to keep myself occupied. I headed to the bathroom and decided to take a nice, long bath.
When I stepped out of the bathroom after thoroughly shampooing my hair and spending hours soaked in the scented water in the bathtub.
I changed into comfortable pajamas and decided to just lay in bed.
I had nothing to do but surely I could read or watch something the phone, maybe.

Chapter 108
It was just lying around and I had not even checked all the features except texting. So, I took the phone from the table and
saw that a few
Leger messages
were waiting for me.
I eagerly opened them, but it was from an unknown number. Wondering who it was, checked it and read the first message.
“Hello, are you okay, Eden? I wanted to see if you are doing fine
I opened the next one that read:
“Hey, this is this. Did you forget me already? I want my $500 back.” I was furning when I read that message.
What did he think of himself? Luke conned me, broke my trust by trying to sell me audacity to demand money from me
” if I was some lamb and now had the
Didn’t Theo give him enough already? I saw him throwing a thick wad of notes back at the club.
I wanted to lash out at him for being such a dick, but I decided to simply ignore the texts so I deleted it.
Next, there was another message, again from an unknown number.
“Hey sweetheart, my baby girl, how are you?
Probably be had taken it from Luke. But then why was he texting me? Did he not fear Eros? What if king Eros knew about thist
Should I inform him? But then he was busy with Olivia, and her father.
I hesitated for a while before deciding to reply to the message. I had to act like the naive and stupid girl he thought I was.
“You know me. I have wanted you for a long time. I am sorry about everything. Please, forgive me.”
Okay, he was being cautious, fearing that the phone was not with me.”
“No, I don’t know you. This is an unknown number. Please identify yourself or I will block you,” I waited patiently for the phone to ring again.
Had I really threatened him? I kept staring at the phone for a full five minutes before the much awaited beep sound reached.
“Sweetheart, I am taking a great risk by contacting you. I thought you would never reply. I am Theo, your love.”
