The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 189

The dream felt real–too real.

I couldn’t get it off my mind. Suddenly, I remembered the events that had taken place in the other world… The Eros I had met in that world was the exact same as in my dream.

After that time, I never thought about it so much. But why did I suddenly have dreams about it?

Was it because of Ryker? Maybe it was because Ryker looked identical to Eros, and considering how he had given me a fright earlier, that must have led to the dream I had.

Or maybe not.

Maybe this was really Eros, and it meant something.

I shivered. No, it couldn’t be. Not my Eros.

I looked out the window and noticed it was almost dark out. It was only a matter of time before one of Lord Shevek’s maids would come knocking on the door.

The Initiation.

The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to bolt out of here. I wondered if my friends would be able to find me in time.

At the same time, I thought of different ways to escape the initiation if they didn’t.

Even if I ran, considering how fast Ryker was able to find me earlier, they would get to me in minutes. And I have only witnessed the bare minimum of Lord Shevek’s anger to know that his fury could be worse than hell itself. Plus, I am now pregnant!

My heart raced.

I felt Tiara grow restless, and sighed. My wolf still had her mind stuck on the dream. It alarmed her to watch our mate attack

We should be able to trust Eros with our lives, not run from him.

“What do you think the dream means?” I asked.

“I don’t know.” Tiara started then went silent. “Do you really think Eros would try to harm us?”

I was not convinced that he would. I placed a hand over my stomach.
