The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 169

(Eden’s Pov)

I pulled the sheets back with a frown, as I moved closer to the other end. I spotted a small handwritten note that sat on the bed, and picked it up. It was Eros‘ refined writing.

You look beautiful when you sleep, and didn’t have the heart to wake you. Also got a call that I needed to attend to, will be back in a bit. Don’t miss me much.

Love, Eros.

I smiled, and twirled the paper around in my hand, tracing the beautiful curve of his writing as I imagined him penning down every word while he stared at me.

I almost squealed, feeling the excitement boil over.

Eros‘ words soothed me. I hugged the letter to my chest, taking in a deep breath and recalled the memories from last night which still left a flutter in my chest.

The way he drove me insane with passion, his strength and how he took me to the cliff and back again. It never failed to amaze me, how Eros always has me melting at just one touch.

I have missed him. The Eros I had met in the other realm scared me so much that I thought I would never get to be held so tenderly in his arms again.

I shivered.

I shook my head off the thoughts, and finally stood up. I went to the bathroom, listening out for any sounds coming from the other side of the house.

Nothing.

The house was silent.

No sound of movement or clattering pans to announce my mother’s presence in her kitchen. Ever since Eros and I entered, the room yesterday, I hadn’t seen her. It’s almost as if she wasn’t in the house.

I sighed, and turned the faucet on. I scooped water into my mouth, rinsed it and poured it back out, before I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I finally looked at the mirror. I was glowing. My red hair shone and my eyes were bright, too bright. A smile curled up my
