The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 274

(Eden’s Pov)

I growled from the pain that shot through me as soon as my back hit the wall.

Fear gripped me as I imagined that Pison would kill me…

However, he gave me a glare and turned away, giving his warriors a command.

Next thing, I was being hauled from the ground by four of them, as they tried to take me out. I fought hard, pulling back against their hold to get free.

One of the guards slapped the end of a dagger over the back of my head, and I immediately went weak.

For a moment, my eyes shut as I saw black and red spots. I gave up the struggle and they easily dragged me out of the dungeon across the dark narrow hall.

Where were they taking me to?

I tried to focus but I couldn’t, all I could do was allow them to take me to where they wanted.

At first, I assumed we were going to the main part of the palace, but then I realized that it was another part entirely. The deeper we got, the more I realized that the palace had more hidden places than I thought.

Finally, we pulled to a stop in front of another dungeon. The entrance was made with silver coated irons and spikes that could easily pierce into the skin if someone was hurled against it.

The door was opened, and I was thrown inside. I fell to my knees just as I heard the warriors walk away as they left me behind.

I let out a soft growl as I stood up.

I raised a brow in surprise at what I saw.

Girls of all ages dressed finely in revealing clothes. I was alarmed at how young some of the girls were. The least was about 10 years old, and the highest was barely above her 30s

What was this place?

The women stared back at me, their eyes resigned to a fate that I had no idea of.

Finally, one of them, a young woman with Olive skin and long dark hair stood up from the bunch and walked towards me, her hips holding a natural sway that would immediately captivate your attention.

She smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. It was just a tired stretch of the lips.

She stopped in front of me and stretched out one hand. I looked at it for a moment before placing mine in hers as we shook hands gently.

“My name is Crystal. Born of werewolf parents.” She said softly her voice light with a high tint to it.

“I'm Eden.” I said simply. I was being cautious.

She nodded, as though in understanding.

“What is this place?” I asked, looking at others who eyed me curiously.

Crystal sighed, turning to look at the women before us. “We all belong to Pison. We are his Play things. A different kind of Harem.” She said

I raised a brow in question. Playthings?

I felt goosebumps on my skin as I eyed the little girls. “Including them?” I asked.

Crystal snorted. “There are no exceptions here.”

My eyes widened. I couldn’t imagine Pison or anyone else sleeping with such little girls.

“Come.” Crystal said as she walked back to her spot and sat down. She patted the space beside her as she beckoned on me. “You should reserve the strength you have for later. Come sit.”

What does she mean by that?

I kept my questions to myself as I walked to her and sat beside her on the floor.
