Chapter 84
While Eros was all rugged, muscr, and brawny. Arthur was a different kind of handsome. He gave me the boy next door
vibe:
He would <b>make </b>an effort to talk to me, to make me feelfortable, and made meugh.
Arthur wiped the sauce off my lips but he didn’t let go of me. His hand kept caressing my face, and I tried not to think too much of it.
Arthur in my past life couldn’t have liked me. So why was this Arthur a little different. Could that Arthur have also liked me?
My eyelids fluttered as the pad of his thumb kept brushing over my skin, making me feel a slight tingle.
“Uhm, certainly you are handsome too, Arthur,” I said, and he came closer to me, standing directly in front of me.
Tve been told so.” He said with a grin, making me chuckle again.
Now the cocky Arthur is back.
While Arthur and Beauty were nice to me here, and also the maids and servants. King Eros still felt like a mysterious puzzle
to me.
“Hey, you’re lost again,” Arthur whispered, <b>and </b>I <b>shook </b>my head.
“No, not at all I lied. Then I smiled<b>, </b>and was about to say something when a sharp voice reached my ears.
“Arthur!” I looked behind Arthur to see none other than
King Eros walking towards us.
Arthur sprang away
sprang away from me as if we had been caught doing something scandalous, and I stepped away from him, too.
Eros was walking towards us with fast strides, and he was exuding both power and annoyance.
“Good morning, King Arthur bowed to him while I kept staring stupidly at him. King Eros didn’t pay me attention, as his eyes were fixed on his Beta. I realized that I should greet him too, so I promptly lowered my head and muttered.
“Good morning. King”
But Eros didn’t reply to me. He didn’t even <b>look </b>at me, and was ring at his Beta, his hands were also thrust in his pockets. Something was off.
“Is…is something wrong. King?” Arthur asked<b>, </b>but King Eros pulled his hands out of his pockets and looked at the wristwatch. dangling <b>from </b><b>his </b>wrist.
When he came and stood <b>in </b>front of Arthur, he <b>asked</b>, “What is the <b>time </b>now, Beta?” His voice wasced with authority and Arthur hastily checked his watch.
“It is close to 9 am, King.”
<b>Eros </b>kept ring at him and asked in the same authoritative tone. <b>“</b>And what time were you supposed toe meet me?”
Arthur gulped nervously, “I dide to check twice, but you weir busy working. I also camest night, but I saw you with Olivia and I didn’t want to disturb you so…”
“So what?” Eros growled while my <b>cars </b>stung at the mention of Olivia.

Chapter 84
Olivia, my sister’s <b>replies</b>, had been in his office alone again, Why does Eros even entertain her so much?
Had she tried to seduce him again? She had mentioned how she was going to marry him soon and then throw me out of the
mansion.
I would to gain my strength and leave this ce before that happened. I’ve been through so much in life that I would want such embarrassment. My previous mate and my sister’s replica getting married.
Arthur fell silent and only mumbled, Tam sony, King
I felt sorry for Arthur. He hadn’t done a crime if Eros was the onesy with some work or probably with Olivia.
tried to ignore the <btter </b>part, and not think of how much the thought of my sister with him was affecting me.
I kept looking at him, but Eros behaved as if I was not even around. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and asked his Beta.
“You were supposed toe meet me at 8 am.
Why is it that I have to go looking for you and then find you chitchatting with my breeder.”
1 raised my eyebrows at that. Had he just called me his with a touch of authority? But why then was he not even looking at
me?
His behavior was confusing!
“Y–your breeder? I… I thought she was going to be your anchor Arthur began, but Eros raised his hand, cutting him abruptly. “Enough! Stop wasting your time and focus on your work if you don’t want to be sent on a month long trip out kingdom
of the
Eross body posture was tense, and his shoulders were rigid. A muscle in his jaw twitched at Arthur’s words and he dragged him a few feet <b>away </b>from me.
Despite being just the start of the day. Eros was ready in his work clothes, and I also <b>saw </b><b>a </b>stain of <b>ink </b>on his hand.
Did he already started working at the crack of dawn<b>? </b>
Meanwhile, I stood there wondering what the hell Arthur was bbering about. What was an anchor and why was I being considered that?
I recalled the way Beauty said that Eros was dying and how I was the one who could save him.
Eros also called me his cure, so what’s an anchor?
I wished <b>to </b>ask them more, but Eros had dragged him away <b>from </b>me. I looked around the dining hall and found myself

Apparently, the few servants who were bustling around to start their day had run away when Eros carne walking towards <b>us </b>angrily Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
I wished to talk to him about this but he stalked away <b>from </b>the openwns with Arthur in tow, leaving me staring at his retreating figure until he disappeared behind the walls of the <b>mansion</b>.
What the hell was this behavior? I couldn’t make sense of it and it irritated me.
If he didn’t want me around, he could simply ask me to leave. Not knowing what to do, I left the hall and walked <b>back </b>to my room. I decided to take a shower to cool down as well.
My muscles were burning after the rung, but I felt refreshed, nheless. I decided to slowly add a few more steps to my

traning regime and maybe do strength training so that I would be able toplete my shifting better next time.
After changing into fresh clothes, I stepped outside the room and wondered what to do for the rest of the day.
Glinda saw me gliding down the stairs and waved at me toe downstairs. “Aren’t you hungry? Come on, eat something”
I smiled at her and replied. “Are you on a mission to make everybody eat as much as they can?”
Glinda gasped and pretended to be shocked “<b>How </b>did you find out?”
I giggled and still sat on the chair as she <b>brought </b>some hot food for me to have. The aroma wafting through the air made me feel hungry, and 1 gobbled up everything that she served me.
My eyes kept drifting to the other side of the mansion, Eros’s office, to be specific. <b>The </b>two seemed to be still in some meeting, but I didn’t want to go to his office again after thest incident.
Thus, I finished my food and got up from the table, and at the same moment, I saw Arthur walk out of the office.
I waited for him as he began climbing down the stairs, a worried look on his face<b>. </b>His shoulders were a little slumped, and he didn’t have his usual smile.
When he reached downstairs, he gave me a small smile, but itcked his usual energy “Hey is everything alright?” I asked and Arthur nodded his head,
Yeah
I went closer to him and asked, “Are you sure? You don’t look okay to me.”
Arthur said in a low voice, “Well, Eros was not happy that I made him wait for two hours. He had been waiting for an important piece of information from me and I was ying around with you.”
I had toe <b>to </b>terms that Eros and Arthur in this life aren’t best friends. They have a work kind of rtionship now.
I furrowed my eyebrows. That is so wrong. You were trying to help me and you did say <b>that </b><b>you </b>went to his office <b>twice</b>.” But Arthur shrugged it off. “He is punctual and does not liketers. I’ll be careful next time.”
I frowned. Poor Arthur’s face looked so sad because Eros <b>had </b>shouted at him for nothing.
“You should really be expressive, you know. Just because he is the King doesn’t mean he can treat you like this,” I said, and Arthur quickly looked around.
“No, it’s not like that. He just seemned a little off about something Maybe all this work is stressing him. I know he needs to really get a life.
I chuckled at that. I couldn’t imagine this Eros doing anything except digging his head in the files and sitting in his office.
And my body <b>reminded </b>me of how his head, or rather his <b>face </b>had been buried elsewhere, in between my legs. I shuddered.
