The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 179

Lord Shevek’s face darkened as soon as the words left my lips. He frowned so deeply that I for a second I thought I may have overstepped…

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that; it wasn’t my business.” I said quickly to lighten the atmosphere.

“No, it’s fine.” He said.

There was a long pause before he answered, his eyes fixed on one spot. He looked vulnerable and then furious again.

I was surprised. From the short time I have known my father, this is the first time I would see him display so many emotions in a single minute.

“I once had a beloved.” He started, then tightened his hand on his staff. “But I killed her.”

“What?” I shivered, not sure I heard right.

“I killed her.” He repeated it like it was nothing.

“What do you mean by that?” I frowned. “I mean. She’s your beloved, someone you love.”

“She betrayed me!” I jumped at the anger in his voice as he stamped his staff against the floor. He moved closer; his voice had gone dead cold. “I don’t forgive those who betray me, especially when they are supposed to be mine.”

I didn’t know what to say. I just looked at him. His words had cut me like a blade. I couldn’t imagine how it must have felt for him to kill his beloved

-the pain he must have gone through.

He sighed.

“It was long before you were born.” He started, his gaze lost again. “She worked with my foes, and told them my flaws to ruin me. I had no choice.”

“But don’t you think death was a little too harsh?” I asked.

He shrugged. “She deserved it.” I was taken aback by the lack of remorse in his voice. I saw a coldness in his eyes that I couldn’t fully comprehend.
