The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 18

When I got home, there were boxes in the living room. Some stuff were already packed, ready for moving, but a lot of things were still where they usually are.

I was surprised that my Mom had gone this far. She just couldn’t wait to leave. I was going to join her to pack and then we will sneak out in the middle of the night.

When I got into the kitchen, I was surprised to see her sitting at the table, and sipping tea. She was staring out the window absent mindedly.

I figured maybe she was missing her mate already.

“Mom?”

“Oh dear, you’re back, she smiled, but it seemed forced. Something wasn’t right.

“Mom, are you okay?” I asked, stand beside her.

Her smile faltered. “It’s nothing to worry about, dear. Do you want some tea?” she said and got up from the chair.

I shook my head “What’s wrong. Mom? please, it concerns me. I need to know.”

She sighed, looking tired and drain. She made me sit on the other chair across the table. Then she wrapped her hands over her steaming mug tightly “They found out, and Alpha Theo has prohibited us from leaving. As of now, the border patrol is also aware of our position and have sent pack warmors to keep watch that we don’t leave the territory,”

My eyes widened. “What?!!”

“Theo can’t do that…

“Alpha Theo,” my mom corrected “he is now Alpha,”

I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “How did he find out?”

“Mr Griffin came to see me. According to him, his wolf had been restless since the wedding. So, he came over and we gol into an argument. He found out, and now we are stuck… I’m so sorry, dear” she begged with tears in her eyes

I nodded, trying not to cry. I needed to be strong for my family

But what does Theo even want? He cannot keep me with him. I am with another.

“When Alpha Theo summoned me to his office. He told me that he was going to mark you too. He said I should bring you to him willingly within 3 days or he was going to do it without my blessings.”

“No! He made it clear he didn’t want me. I am not going to be his mistress!”

Mom slowly reached out for my hands. “I don’t know what to say dear, but you’re rightfully his

My chest became hot when she said those words. I seethe, my vision turning red. Tiara vehemently protested at being called Theo’s. My whole being was rebelling against it.

“I am not his..” I put out in a voice that didn’t sound like mine.

My mom gasped in shock. “Eden?
