The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 217

(Rose’s Pov)

I felt a sharp pain in my head, and winced as I tried to open my eyes. At first it felt almost impossible- like with every muscle, it seemed that my head was about to split.

It took a few moment before my eyes finally fluttered open.

The room was in a blur. I couldn’t focus on anything. I closed my eyes again and opened them, and slowly my sight got

better.

The first thing I saw clearly was Olivia’s face directly in front of mine.

She was bent forward just so her face could get to my level.

“Olivia,” I whispered. Myvoice sounded raspy and tired.

She rolled her eyes at me and straightened up “You are awake.” She said.

I tried to touch her, but a strange pressure on my wrist stopped me.

I looked down.

That was when I noticed that I sat on a chair, and my wrist and arms were securely tied to it with a thick rope.

I panicked and jerked my arm away, trying to cut the ropes.

Nothing worked.

“Don’t bother.” Olivia snapped. “Griffin made sure you won’t be able to get out of that.” She pointed at the rope.

“What…” I trailed off as my throat dried up. I swallowed hard and swiped my tongue over my poached lips.

“Do you have something to say?” Olivia smirked.

I sighed and nodded my head “What are you doing? What happened? Why am I here?” I remembered the last moments before I passed out. Olivia was smiling cruelly.

My heart stung. Was she the reason for this?
