The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 170

The stranger’s voice was smooth, and deep.

It was amazing how he could have such powerful influence without making much effort.

I frowned, feeling uneasy as I stared into his face. I ignored the first words he spoke, giving him another full look to be sure I had never seen him anywhere else.

Tiara stirred within me, senses heightened. “Who are you?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

The man’s smirk widened as he ran his gaze over me. “You don’t know me do you?”

Before he could respond, a gasp echoed behind me. I turned to see mom standing a few feet behind me, her eyes wide and face pale. She was so still that I feared she had stopped breathing.

“Mom?” I called out

She didn’t answer. She just stared at us in shock. I looked back at the man and at my mother again.

“Mom, do you know him?” I asked.

I was beginning to feel something strange stir up in me. I knew whatever was happening wasn’t going to sit too well with me.

My mom made a strange sound in her throat. Her eyes started to tear up, and before I could say anything else, she burst into

tears.

I was taken aback by it. I hurried over to her, holding her arms in my hand as I forced her to look at me.

“Mom, are you okay? What is wrong?”

She continued crying. I never thought I would see her cry more than she did the day before, but this seemed worse.

I was still at a loss on what to do when my mother finally got herself together enough to speak.
