The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 57

Chapter 57

I was sinking in a dark tunnel, unable to scream or move.... Suddenly there was a bright light, and I found myself standing behind a pillar in Alpha Griffin's house. The entire place was busy. The maids were walking briskly and performing different tasks around the house. What am I doing here? Where's Eros, Arthur, Adonis and Beauty?

We were having a meeting with Alpha Theo and the werewolf council elders....

The more I tried to think about what happened, the more my head hurt. It feels like a huge vacuum had been created in my soul, and I couldn't replace the pieces.

I need to get answers. I do not belong here. I should be in Eros arms now...

I tiptoed down the vast hallway, so as not to draw attention to myself. I was going to sneak out of this house, and return to my mate, my Lycan family.

Peering around the corner, I saw Lyra and her minions.

A vague picture flashed before my eyes. The menacing look of Lyra, Alice and Tom.

When they turned, it was was Lyra, Alice and Tom.

What's Alice doing with them?. My head started to hurt again.

Gulping. I looked up to replace the grimace of Lyra. She slicked her dark hair back against her head into a straightened ponytail, brown eyes sneered down at me as she chewed on the gum in her mouth.

"Oh my gosh, it's you." She grunted. "What are you doing? Think you can sneak around, huh?"

Her voice was sultry as her lipstick-encased lips parted in a chuckle. "Well?"

I stayed where I was on the floor, looking away from her eyes to stare at the floor. I don't know why I suddenly felt timid. She was projecting her Alpha's blood dominance on me, and I couldn't feel my Lycan. I couldn't feel Tiara's strength. It was faint, weaker than ever.

"Excuse me please, I just want to go home, I told them

"Go what home? This is your home, Alice chortled at me.

My home? Definitely not, my home is across westword Street with my mom and my sister, Olivia.

"Aw, Alice, don't be like that. It's not her fault that her mother sold them both for a measerly fee," Lyra mocked. They laughed in unison.

My confusion only deepened. What are they saying?

Suddenly Lyra grabbed me by my hair. I winced as a few hairs sagged in her grip "Now... What did I tell you about showing your ugly face in the house?"

I struggled feebly in as Alice and Tom sent me hateful glare. "You pest," she tightened her firm on my roots "I hate your face. Why don't you go and lilde yourself in your room?" she bellowed, and I nodded in submission.

I couldn't tell why my wolf was so intimidated by her. "Okay," 1 begged, and turned to scamper off when a foot darted out beneath me.

Chapter 57

I tripped, smacking into the floor with a groan. They all burst out laughing and I glanced behind me to see Tom just smirking at me. He did it.

"Oh, my gosh, did you see the way she fell?"

Alice laughed.

Tears brimmed as I hurried my way y into my room.

Slamming the door shut behind me, I collapsed into my bed, crying once more for the people who constantly made my life

miserable

Just yesterday, my life was good. I had a male who loves me, Eros, but now I am stuck in the park's house and scared of my bully, Lyra. What the Fuck is going on?

Suddenly, a memory flashed through her heart. A woman in white flowing gown, talking to her.

The moon goddess. Could I really have spoken with her?

What did we talk about? My head began to pound again...

The next day, my alarm blaring rose me from my sleep. Rubbing my eyes, I glanced to see that I had set an alarm for six before I passed out so that I could go for a morning walk.

I wore my trainers that hardly squeaked on the wood floor and quietly made my way out of my room and downstairs.

I just had a knowing that that omegas, the maids in the house, are on breakfast duty today would've been up since five, so they had already unlocked the main front doors.

The front door shut softly behind me and I deeply inhaled as the breath-taking sunrise across the horizon met my eyes.

This was the only time I ever had peace for myself.

Early in the morning, when all the important pack members were asleep. It was just the lower ranks rushing around cleaning or cooking.

I walked through the woods, following the stream

Glancing at my worn watch, I was astounded to replace it was six-thirty already, so I made my way back to the packhouse in my constant daydream.

I knew that pack members were up at eight for breakfast and training, so I hurried to confine myself in my room.

No sooner had I done that, that someone was pounding on my door. I took off my headphones.

""Who is it?" I asked politely.

"It's me." The soft voice chuckled. I knew it was Mom. I should tell her everything. She might help.

"Come in, Mom." I said excitedly. She entered with a cheerful smile.

"Working?" she wondered, stepping in and shutting the door behind her. I jumped to hug her.

I chuckled. "No, not at mom."

"Do not tell her anything. I heard a faint voice in my head. Is that Tiara?

I've been trying to reach her since whatever this was, happened to me. All to no avail. I think I even thought I lost my Wolf. Tiara goes mute.

"Is anything the problem? Why are you standing there? Come on," she patted a side of my bed.

I took a seat beside her. "So, mom... we are living in Alpha Griffin's house?"

Her eyes flicker with fear "yes, I had- we had no option," she said "you're aware of this. Why do you keep talking about this?" "Rose!!!" we suddenly heard a loud call

"Duty calls," she said nervously, standing to her feet. "How is Olivia?" I asked her, but she turned to me with a frown. "Who's Olivia?"

"Olivia, your second daughter." I said firmly. How could she forget Olivia.
