The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 58

“Come on, mom, where’s Olivia?” I asked, chuckling dryly.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about,” she replied with a frown.

My heartbeat accelerated. “You can’t be serious mom!” I exclaimed.

“Look, I don’t have time for your tantrums. I’m going through a lot as we speak.” She muttered, “I’ve got to get back to work.” She said, before leaving the room.

My eyes widened more. Everything was so confusing.

Mom doesn’t seem to remember her daughter, my sister, Olivia, And then we are struck here at Alpha Griffin’s house.

I’ve got so many questions burning in my soul, yet no answers. Where’s my love? Where’s Eros? Is he looking for me?

Why did the moon goddess meet me? What happened before that? And why did she meet me?

Everything feels so different. I remember only some details. This…. feels like a new life.

The next morning came quickly.

As I approached the dining room, I heard voices, and tried to harness my wolf’s sense tried to work out who they were. I settled for my human hearing. They sounded agitated, whoever it was. I stepped closer, trying to control my breathing so that they wouldn’t hear me.

“Not now!” I heard a voice. It was Alpha Griffin I need to think before that devil comes here!”

“Darling, you’re worked up. Why don’t you sit and have a drink? Tell me what’s going on.” Luna Belle cooed.

He must’ve disagreed as the sound of a glass hitting the table empty crackled through the air. “The Lycan King is coming to Lyra’s party

I froze in my steps. Lyra’s party was tomorrow, but why does it feel so familiar? Like I’d experienced it before.

My curiosity increased, and I stepped closer.

“That isn’t bad,” she squealed. “Our beautiful daughter now has the opportunity to choose between Theo, and King Eros…” Luna Belle was saying when my legs gave way.

King Eros. King Eros

My Eros.

“Don’t you know why he is called the Devil. He kills and destroys everything in his path. Besides, he is coming for a business deal, and not the party celebration.” He said

“Whatever, I’ll tell Lyra to take advantage of his presence. King Eros is the new big catch, while Theo Redwood is just… Luna Belle said with a shrug, and Alpha Griffin just shook his head.

I prefer Theo, because he listens. But King Eros is way out of my league…” he seemed to rethink his idea “though if Lyra

with Eros, it would be a great thing. Our pack would have a royal alliance. I’ll be father of the Queen wow!”

My Eros

So many things have changed. Would Eros recognize me at a glance? I remember some of the memories that we’ve had… Our first love–making in the forest.

I was so deep in thoughts that I didn’t know when Alpha Griffin walked past me. He stopped and turned to stare at me, making me suck in my breath,

Slowly, he turned away and walked off.

Exhaling loodly. I ran my hand across my chest in comfort as I pulled away from the scene. Just as I did, I felt sharp claws rip into my scalp as they yanked my head backwards.

“Were you just listening to my parents‘ conversation there. Eden?” Lyra pouted. “That’s quite rude.”

My heart thumped frantically. When did she come that I didn’t know…

“N–no. I–I wasn’t- I swear,” I stuttered in fear.

“Oh, no use lying to me. darling. Anyone could smell your cheap perfume a mile away.” She laughed, as her other hand pulled out the gum in her mouth. She twirled some strands of my air with the gum. I trembled when I noticed her minions. and Alice standing a little distance from us.

Lyra sighed in contentment, at what she’s done. “Now, eavesdropping is definitely a not good, okay?” She said as though talking to a child.

I nodded fearfully.

Two of her friends; Alice and Tom came up to me next, both grinning from ear to ear. Without time to think, Alice swiped my head to the side as she smacked me across the cheek. I felt my spit fly out of my mouth as I staggered. Another hit my face, and I was against the wall, where my heart raced as their claws dug into my skin. I tried to push them off, but their wolves helped and I was defenceless.

“Tiara help!” I cried in my mind, but nothing happened.

I was all alone. It took me a moment to regulate my breathing as the sound of their designer heels clicked away. Daring to open my eyes, I soon forced them to shut as a larger, warmer hand pushed me

down.

“Don’t go poking round in everybody’s business, Omega. Learn your place.” Tom spat, showing his fangs.

In this life, he wasn’t a fangless vampire. But rather, I wondered how he became friends with Lyra and the others. How did Alice become Lyra’s friends?

Slowly, I pulled myself up and ran into my bedroom, Slumping into my sheets, I let the tears flow, crying myself into slumber.

I woke up to my alarm and dragged myself into the shower. Today was Lyra’s birthday party and wolves from all over–the world would be visiting, including the King Eros. I have so much expectations.

I dried myself with my towel and pushed my damp hair so it flowed down my back. I passed a mirror on my way to the toilet and grimaced at what I saw. A

My eye had swelled, and a burning hot pain seared through my jaw. Small and large scratches lined my arms and chest,

I had ten minutes to cover up the black eye I was sporting and the various pink lines on my face. The make–up I found on my table in did its trick:

Arbam sharp, my mother called me into the kitchen. I worked with other Omegas to make breakfast and lunch for the party.

Breakfast came and went and we prepared a large feast of salads, pasta, loaded fries, chicken and sausages for lunch.

My mum was the head chef today. The kitchen had a multitude of ovens, grills to keep up with demand. I was mainly on meat prep, something to keep my fingers busy and keep my head down.

Throughout the day, I felt my eye pulsing and a headache growing, knowing it was more than likely because of the trauma, or having a life that seems like a dream…..
