The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 202

ROSE's POV

I stood in front of Shevek's room door; the brown mahogany surface stared back at me.

I wasn't sure if he would like to see me, at the same time, I wanted to comfort him.

It took all the strength I had to finally knock on the door.

There was no response. But I knew Shevek was inside. That was the first place he went immediately Eden was laid on the bed to recover.

I knew he came here to reflect.

Today was about him sharing a part of his life with us. It couldn't have been a simple task.

And then, there was Eden's reaction to it. I was glad she was fine; my daughter is everything to me.

I knocked again. When I still didn't get a response, I tried the doorknob and found it unlocked, then I entered.

It was daylight outside, but his room was shrouded in darkness. The thick curtains that hang over the windows were not drawn open today.

I closed the door and allowed my eyes adjust to the room before I said a word.

"Shevek." I called.

I could see his silhouette by the window. It was almost too dark to not mistake him for the curtains, but I saw him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. His voice was rough and cutting. "I wanted to be by myself."

"I know." Tired of squinting in the dark, I said "Open the curtains, please."
