The Beta’s Regret

I mentally rolled my eyes and grudgingly sank my knees to the floor. Only then did the ceremony continue.

Afterward, we were directed to a large open space- also close to the Alpha’s house, for the wedding reception.

My friends and I were barely talking when Luna Belle, stormed to where we stood.

“Follow me!” She bellowed, pointing at Nova and Alice.

We all exchanged glances. Slowly Nova and Alice followed after Luna Belle threw me a lasting glare as though to say that m

doom was coming,

I shivered and went to sit somewhere hidden. I could see everyone, the happy cheers, the clicking of glasses, and the bride and groom’s crazy dance.

It was peaceful to just watch everyone. In no time, the ceremony went in a blur.

Lyra had been so busy with the celebration that she didn’t pick on me today. I was happy until I started missing my friends. Olivia was safe with a couple of her age mates.

So I decided to look for Nova and Alice, I figured that I could also use that opportunity to see my mom.

Blending into the shadows, I sneaked from the party into Alpha Griffin’s house.

There were tons of maids, and male servants working to ensure that the party went on

smoothly.

Some were cooking, others were doing one thing or the other. A mean–looking woman was backing orders at all of them.

“Get working!!!” She yelled at the already tired staff.

Suddenly, I remembered that she was the one who dragged my mom when we first arrived for the wedding.

I wondered who she was, was she a relative of Luna Belle? Because when it comes to such affairs, it was always the existing Lums that was in charge. So where is Luna Belle?

I sneaked further into the house. There were many routes, passages, and halls, I was a little confident because I had worked innumerable times at the Alpha’s house. Lyra’s punishments.

However, I wasn’t so sure that I knew the house so well when I started seeing unfamiliar pillars and doors.

I turned to return to where I came from when I heard voices. It was Luna Belle and Mr Redwood; the pack’s beta and Theo’s father in a dark room

My wolf’s vision wasn’t so bad, so I could pick the figures and see everything in the room. Nova and Alice weren’t with them. so I turned to leave when I heard

no, Hose isn’t a problem” Luna Belle was saying.

My mom? They were talking about my mother. I frowned and hid behind the pillan to listen.

“Sure, Rose isn’t a problem because we have been able to subdue her and her wolf for the past 18 years, However, my concern is her daughter, Eden,” Mr Redwood said with a frown

Hulp

“Eden is just like her mother. Gullible and weak, you know we were best friends back then in school.” Luna Belle said

“Yeah, and all that changed when you married her mate,” Mr Redwood snorted, pocketing his hands in his trousers.

What?!!!

Luna Belle married my mom’s mate. Alpha Griffin is my mom’s mate.

My head felt dizzy.

“And it feels so good to know that my daughter did that to hers have always a step ahead of Rose and her family. You need not to worry about Eden, Lima Belle chuckled

“Sure. I’m just worried you know, about the mate’s pull. It might make Theo wander away from our plans,” Mr Redwood said. worriedly

“You worry too much. I trained my daughter well. You seem to be forgetting who you’re speaking to,” Luna Belle reassured Mr Redwood.

So all this while, Luna Belle has been the cause of my mom and I’s misfortune?

A sob seeped from my throat. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

And their senses became alert. “Who’s there?” Mr Redwood suddenly thundered.

My heart started panting. I hid behind the pillar, cleaning my tears frantically. I hadn’t known that I was crying.

Darm, these emotions.

“I can smell your fear, Mr Redwood said, marching towards my direction. I saw Luna Belle, crossing her arms and staring angrily into an open space.

Oh no, they were going to catch me.

Should I just come out, and form a lie or?

A palm suddenly covered my lips. The strong hands grabbed a struggling me into a room. I tried to break free but the familiar voice halted my movement,

“It’s me, Eden”

“Mom!” I turned to see my mom. She quickly clasped her palmsover my mouth again. We heard Mr Redwood’s footsteps

come close.

I knew my heart was beating so fast, and I just might make him catch us

“Eden, relax,” I heard Tiara speak in my head “Try to think of something soothing

“Something like Eros

“Something like. Eros We said together.

“Come our now!!” Mr Redwood said angrily and got to the door when we were. I closed my eyes and thought of Eros… his brown hair, blue eyes, pink lips, biceps. Oh, those biceps.

“Redwood, I have found her, Luna Belle called from outside.

Mr Redwood immediately dashed out. After a while, we came ou slowly and heard cracking sounds. Hits, kicks, slaps on a Trail body.

It was one o

ol Lyra’s minions

“Didn’t nobody tell you that eavesdropping is wrong? how dare you?” Luna Belle yanked her hair tightly.

My mom pulled my hand and led me into a tunnel, adjacent to the room where we just hid.

We appeared at the back of the Alpha’s house and immediately took to our heels.

“Call Olivia, and hugged her.

meet me at home, my mom’s voice came out ch
