The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 171

My heart raced as I watched him, I was curious. What kind of a man is Lord Shevek? My father.

I never knew what it meant, having a father and now I suddenly have one. My emotions swirled inside me, excitement, fear, anger, and hope. I knew I should be angry, demanding answers. But all I could do was stare at him, wondering what kind of father he would have been to me if he had known that I existed.

A Lot of things could have been different if he were here, I would have known earlier about my kind. He might’ve been able to teach me how to channel my Vampire side more, or even train me.

I wouldn’t have been treated like a worthless Omega in the first place, I would have known a father’s love. But still, it isn’t too late.

“Mom.” I said as I softly moved my mother to the side, standing closer to Lord Shevek as I ignored my mother’s sound of protest.

I crossed my arms and lifted my chin. “What do you want?”

Lord Shevek’s eyes locked onto mine, his expression calm “Please sit,” he said, sitting back down on the same couch he stood up from and leaned against it. He looked composed and noble, with a subtle smile on his lips.

I took the couch opposite him, repeating my question. “Why are you here?”

“I came to see you.” He looked me straight in the eyes.

“Why now? After all these years?” I frowned.

“I don’t like this. I still think you need to leave.” my mother grumbled.

She was anxious, and I understood. In any other circumstances, I could have demanded he left just like she wanted, but not now.
