The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros)
Chapter 152

Chapter 152

The sun was shining through the window and I felt the warmth on my skin. The light hurt my eyes, and I slowly turned my face away from it to shield my eyes.

I was exhausted. Every muscle in my body hurt and every single bone felt like it had cracked. My limbs were sore, my joints cracking, and my skin felt hot

I was sweating and my throat was parched. I tried to wake myself up, but my eyes did not want to open. They felt like they weighed a ton.

But when I forced my eyelids to flutter open, I realized that I was not in a familiar place. It was all plain white and dull.

I could vaguely make out the white curtain blowing in the soft breeze and the pale windows. My eyes slowly roamed through the space and then I noticed the huge bulky frame sitting in front of me,

My eyes tried to focus on the figure, to tell who it was... and then I saw the blue eyes. Eyes that made me breathless, and nervous. But this time they were staring intently at me coldly.

For a second, I wished that I had returned to my previous life where everything was simple between us.

"I knew you would always replace an escape," he said, his tone was filled with a hint of mockery.

Trying my best to not let exhaustion wash over me again, I opened my eyes and pushed myself up on my elbows in a sitting position

"Why is it so easy to rile you up?" He asked and I decided to ignore him. My mouth felt dry and rough.

I looked around for water and he seemed to have sensed it, for he slowly, purposefully got up from the chair. Eros reached for the jar of water placed on the bedside table and poured into the glass. He handed it to me, and I grabbed the glass and drank it.

"Take it slow" He cautioned but my throat was burning as were my insides.

"More," I begged, and he held the water jar above my glass, but with unsteady hands I reached for the jar and put it straight to my lips. After drinking it all, and almost spilling a good amount on myself, I was done.

He shook his head subtly and took the jar away from my hands as I wiped my mouth with the back of my sleeve.

The water helped a little. Though my head was still hurting, I could look around with better clarity. "Where am I?"

Eros replied, "At a hospital. I don't need to tell you why, right?"

I placed my hands on my temples as another wave of pain coursed through my head. Memories came back to me in bits and pieces.
