The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 3

I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling of my small room. Everything was a blur after I fell. I oddly remember my mother, Olivia, Alice, and Nova calling my name in panic. Then I don’t remember anything else.

They must have brought me home.

I sat up slowly to see my mother watching me quietly. Tears streaked down her face, “Honey,” she cooed, as I went into her embrace.

Theo rejected me, Mom. My mate rejected me my eyes teared up again. I still found it hard to believe that it really happened to me. I hoped it was a horrible nightmare, but alas, my mother caressed my hair and wept with me. It was true.

I knew she understood how I felt because it happened to her. My birth father, her mate had fooled her and impregnated her twice before discarding her. All along, he promised her happiness but ended up with someone else.

“It hurts so bad. Make it stop, make it stop Mom. Please make this pain go away,” I sob, clawing at my chest. Oh goddess, I would do anything to stop the pain. Please

“My honey, I am so sorry. My mother sobbed as she hugged me close, willing my pain to go away.

After what felt like hours, I became calm. I guess I was too exhausted to shed even a tear. Sleep didn’t come easily as my mother closed the door behind her.

In the middle of the night, all alone in the darkness, tears streak out again. My wolf, Tiara, had been silent for hours, and I could feel her crushing pain, as well as my own.

I had been looking forward to meeting my mate since I was sixteen. Our teachers at Mystic Claws & Fangs Academy told us that it was the best thing to ever happen to a werehurnan.

I had been waiting for someone, not necessarily a powerful mate or breed but someone who would love me and protect me from the hate of this world. I needed someone that would be by my side no matter what.

Imagine, my joy when I learned it was Theo, I thought he was going to take all my pain away and change the status of my family, but I was so wrong-

All werewolves knew that we only had one chance of having a mate. But now that it is all shattered, what will become of me?

Questions about love and family lingered in my thoughts. Would my wolf Tiara ever be the same? A werewolf without their wolf is like an empty shell–many eventually succumb or lose their sanity after losing their mates. The pain is tinbearable; their wolves vanish.

Now I understand the agony, and I haven’t accepted his rejection not yet. Will I face the same fate–death or insanity?

I hope Tiara stays strong.

How could the moon goddess do this to me? Why me? What did do to deserve a Beta? I didn’t ask for this. She could have paired me with another omega, and I would have been content. As long as there was love, Fd be happy.
