Chapter 139
Words failed me to describe how I was feeling It was liberating,
“Eden.” I heard Eros <b>call </b>out my name carefully.
My head flicked to his face and it was as if I was seeing him with new rity. Every sharp feature of his stood out to me much more prominently.
<b>I </b>saw the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled at me, the fine lines disappearing in the sides and the light stubble dusted or his jawline though he was a few feet away from me.
“Oops, what a fine handsome breed. You can’t just stop staring at him with those eyes, can <b>you</b>?” My wolf, Tiara, spoke to me in my head
I chuckled “I thought it was you who was staring at him,”
Eros was sitting on his knees and tried reaching for us, for me. Tiara didn’t want to budge at first. I was even surprised that she didn’t yell mate immediately.
I didn’t want to think too much and spoil the <b>moment</b>, but I knew I would have time to ask her some questions.
Eros saw the way Tiara <b>was </b>hesitating and gave us a warm, weing smile. “Wee to this world and wee to my pack. Though there are not other members here but know that every member of my pack is valued and treasured. You would feel no different” He said, tipping his head a little.
Woah, this arrogant hybrid King just bowed to us? Well, it wasn’t a proper bow but he did lower his head ever so slightly. Tiara stared at him smugly, but I told her “Don’t be rude.”
Tiara rolled her eyes at me “Are you saying that because he is handsome? He’s still a looker, <b>and </b>his toned abs… mmm”. “Tiara!!” I warned her as she teased me.
Looking at him through her eyes was certainly rewarding. His torso was nothing short of a work of art. Every muscle rippled. with strength whenever he moved and <b>a </b><b>hard </b>six pack donned his abdomen.
The way his hands moved and the way his hair flitted in the soft breeze, everything about him was picture perfect.
I tried not <b>to </b>sigh at that beauty of a man but told Tiara again. “He is waiting. He’s now King, Tiara. Show some respect!”
She gave me a smug look <b>and </b>slowly stepped forward, letting her heade close to Eros’s outstretched hand.
He slowly and carefully brushed <b>his </b>hand over the fur and I felt a bolt of electricity jostle me.
<b>His </b>touch was gentle but due to Tiara’s heightened perception<b>, </b>felt his <b>skin </b>caress not the fur but my very soul,
Goddess, why was I so attracted to this man?
Tiara slowly nuzzled against his chest and he ruffled through her fur, patting her head lightly.
And I <b>was </b>not <b>mistaken </b>that she would like it <b>when </b>he stroked her fur. I felt <b>her </b>melt at the touch and push her head on his chest, demanding more pats.
Eros chuckled and scratched her fur a bit more <b>making </b>her whimper.
“Mom, right there” She spoke in my head <b>as </b><b>he </b>rubbed her head and I tried not to chuckle. She had been all smug <b>and </b>mighty just a moment ago and now she was being just <b>a </b>regr voll. That reminds me, she <b>didn’t </be as a hybrid because

<b>I </b><b>am </b>not fully mated to Eros,
He marked me- well, because I asked him to, but I haven’t marked him or mated properly.
Eros ran his hands through her thick fur and muttered, “You are a beautiful wolf. Eden is lucky to have you” he <b>said</b>, and Tara let out <b>a </b>satisfied howl
ep beside him.
So Eros got up from the ground and began walking, “Come with me” He said and Tiara fell in step
The <b>dark </b>clouds thundered asionally but it didn’t rain as I thought it would. They only crackled with a loud sound and lightning that shone through the dark clouds every now and then but it did not rain except for a few drops.
We got to <i>the </i>edge of theke and he looked for a boulder nearby and pointed at it “Hop on it to get a better look”
Tiara let out a sound of approval and climbed up the boulder. And we both saw the reflection in the water.
There was a little difference. <b>Tiara </b>may not look like a hybrid anymore, as in our previous life, but she looked more majestic- almost godly. It made me skeptical, and confused as to why the moon goddess did this.
Is everything happening for a divine reason?
“You are beautiful as always, Tiara” Imumbled in her head and she looked up at the sky to see the moon shining amidst the stars and let out a howl.
Fros chuckled again as she climbed down the boulder and nudged at him, rubbing her <b>head </b>upon his knee.
“What is it, <b>girl</b>?” Eros asked, she looked at the forest in front of her and then straight into Eros’s eyes.
He got the message. “Oh, you want to race?”
She grunted and Eros asked, “Are you sure? You just transformed. I don’t want to wear you down and…”
But before he couldplete the sentence. Tiara took off. “Hey, that’s not fair!” I heard him grumble and Tiara giggled in my <b>head</b>.
Tiara has always been sassy, bold, and outspoken <b>unlike </b>me, a timid and shy girl.
Eros was running with us, in his human form. Tiara wanted to challenge him and <b>shot </b>off, increasing her speed a lot but Eros had no problem catching up. She didn’t like that he could still match her despite still being in his human form so <b>she </b>ran hard, much harder than she should.
And I began to feel the pain in her joints. I had recently shifted and all the training Eros had given me on how it would be good to have my bone strength when my wolf would get tired came rushing back to me.
<b>Tiara </b><b>was </b>soon panting and I felt her leaning on me, trying to borrow strength from me. And no amount of training would have prepared me for this- the real deal.
“Tiara, it is alright. We should go back home” Eros said while slowing down, hoping that she would too, but <b>Tiara </b>wouldn’t listen
“Tiara, please. We can run <b>again </bter. I promise I will let you our <b>soon</b>” I insisted but her eyes were fixated on <b>a </b>huge tree with a thickwork of roots.
A particrly thick root had twisted and turned, rising up a few feet. I could sense what she was about to do and shrieked, “No, Tiara. Listen to me I said, but she shook her head, let out a grunt, and jumped up as we reached the <b>root </b>system.
Tiara jumped up in the air, aiming to pluck, off a fruit hanging <b>down </b>a branch a few meters above the root by using the thick rout <b>as </b><b>a </b>stepping <b>stone</b>.

But she miscalcted and her back right foot got stuck in the small gap between the roots and I felt our body m upon the root, <b>hard</b>. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
She let out <b>a </b>whimper and would have fallen to the ground and hurt herself even more but fortunately, Eros simply caught her in his hands.
Tiara let out a pained whimper as Eros shook his head “I forgot newly turned wolves are <b>a </b>little childish”
We made a disgruntled sound of denial but she didn’t have much energy to go on. I was beginning to, feel the weight of her <b>pain </b>and bones too as she began to borrow more strength from me than I could provide at that moment.
Eros looked into Tiara’s <b>eyes </b>and spoke, “Eden, I think it is time you shift back.”
I concentrated, calming my nerves, and the next instant I felt a thousand needles stinging me from all the sides as I felt my bones snap and my muscles go taut and rigid again.
I had shifted back to my human form. There was only one problem though- I was lying stark naked yet again in Eros’s
embrace.
