The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 168

(Eden’s Pov)

My mother blew her nose into the napkin folded in her palm. I wasn’t sure what to think. Ever since I woke up, everything had been happening way too fast, all at once. I thought coming Home would help me clear my mind.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I felt my stomach clench, as a great desire to run away gripped me. I could feel Tiara’s patience wearing thin, but I forced myself to stay still.

I never imagined for once that my mother might have gone through the pain of unrequited love. I know first hand, the torture that comes along with your mate rejecting you, and watching him sleep with another.

“I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Olivia.” My mother whispered, drawing back.

“You are not to blame.” I wiped a fallen tear off her cheek. “And nothing will happen to my sister”

Eros placed his hand on my shoulder from behind me, his warmth seeped into my skin, comforting me.

I had to face this. I needed to know the full truth, who exactly my father was. What’s his name? Did he ever come to look for me? Does he even know I exist? Or maybe he just doesn’t want me?

“Mom…” I started and trailed off as my mother stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

“Yes?”

“Nothing.” I whispered. This wasn’t the right time.

My mom nodded and moved away, mopping her eyes dry as she croaked out “You should get settled, Eden. Your room is cleaned already. You should rest.” she forced a smile on her face.

I responded with a nod, but before I could reach for the small luggage I brought along with me, Eros pulled it up, going before me.

Most of my belongings were in Eros‘ home, and all I could bring along was this bag. I figured it contained what I needed for my little stay.

I followed behind Eros, while my Mom silently entered her room. It was obvious she needed time to herself.

So do I.
