The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 255

Those eyes, I wouldn't mistake it for another. It was definitely Eros I saw in my vision.

Was there truly a way for Eros to still be alive? I wasn't sure myself.

Adonis, Lord Shevek, and everyone else have confirmed that Eros was killed. They told me they saw Pison rip his heart out of his chest.

A chill ran through me.

I don't know what to believe, but my visions have always turned out to be true, and if I were to go by that, then Eros was alive somewhere, buried under ice.

That would mean that he needed me.

I had to find him.

That would lead to another difficult question. Where exactly would I go to look for him? I only saw a glimpse of him under ice, but I had no idea where exactly that was.

It was almost a hopeless cause.

Tiara stayed down on the ground, her eyes in a daze as she thought about what she had seen.

No longer interested in the fight, I shifted into human form, still sitting in the same position Tiara sat unmoving.

""Eden?" My father called out.

I ignored him, lost in my thoughts.

I barely noticed when he closed the distance between us and touched me on the shoulder. I jumped up, startled.

"Eden." He said softly.

""Yes?" I answered looking up at him from my position.

"Are you okay? What's on your mind?" He asked.

At first I hesitated. I felt a strong urge to tell him exactly what I saw and that Eros might be alive. But I shook my head and looked away.

Not because Lord Shevek couldn't be trusted, but more because it sounded ridiculous to tell him that Eros, who we all thought was dead, was possibly alive somewhere, buried under ice.

I couldn't tell him what I just saw. He wouldn't believe me, no one would, not when they claimed they saw Eros get killed.

Besides, I could hardly believe it myself. It would be terrible to give the people hope only for it to turn into a lie.
