The Beta’s Regret

(Eden's

Pov)

Lyra heaved a breath of relief.

"I finally got to pull myself out of these," she said as she shrugged off the hoodie and threw it to the side.

She flexed her muscles and gave me a smirk.

"We meet again, finally." Lyra said with a smile.

It was alarming. The way she acted as if we just met over a friendly house dinner, as if she hadn't just captured me moments ago, and where were the rogues who'd captured me? Also what has Olivia got to do with Lyra? Were they working together? "What are you doing here?" I asked with a frown.

Somewhere at the back of my head, I knew I should still be on the run, because for as long as I can remember, Lyra has loathed me all her life. Talking with her wasn't a wise decision, but I had questions... Lyra chuckled.

"Why do I need to explain myself to you?" She asked.

I scowled. "You and Alice disappeared. No one knew where you were." I spat.

She laughed so hard that a tear streaked from her eyelid "Well, let's just say that my father kept me well hidden."

Lyra was nothing short of an evil person right now. It showed in her demeanor.

I looked at her protruding belly "You're also pregnant." I said softly.

Lyra shrugged and her gaze fell on mine. "Just like you." She scoffed, and rubbed her stomach. "I think mine's a bit shy. It's taking longer than expected. This is the sixth month."
