The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 194

Ryker clutched Lord Shevek’s hand. He pulled at it desperately as he struggled to breath.

Lord Shevek didn’t bulge.

Only when Ryker grew weak and stopped struggling did Lord Shevek let go. The young man fell to the floor with a loud

gasp.

“I should kill you on the spot.” Lord Shevek said in anger.

There was so much hate in his gaze. I wondered how he wanted me to get married to someone he hates.

Ryker sighed and leaned against the wall. He looked drained.

“I didn’t do anything wrong.” Ryker began.

Lord Shevek scoffed. “You didn’t do anything wrong? You presence ruined everything. I told you to stay inside didn’t I?”

“I was sick of it!” Ryker interrupted. He had started to gain his strength back. “I was sick of always answering to your commands.

“You seem to forget who I am.” Lord Shevek growled.

“No I didn’t. I know exactly what you are capable of. I just got tired of being a pupet.” He spat out.

“Even puppets are useful in the game. One wrong move and they would ruin everything.” Lord Shevek continued.

“Well, you did a good job of constantly reminding me of how insignificant I was. I didn’t think I would be so important, enough to ruin a master plan.”

“You little-” Lord Shevek stopped himself before he could grab Ryker again.

I watched in silence. Beauty had her arms wrapped around me, while Adonis kept his
