The Beta’s Regret

(Eros Pov)

After Eden tried to fill me on everything that had happened... My teeth ached from how hard I clenched them. I was beyond livid.

I was livid at everything, especially Pison.

Pison.

How could he do this?

I never imagined such great betrayal from my once favorite cousin. If only Pison had done a good job of ruling in the first place, we wouldn't have been where we are right now.

However it was left to me to save the people from utter destruction and yet Pison was determined to take me out, to fight for a throne that would have never been his if only I had gathered enough courage to take charge in the first place. Not only did Pison attempt to kill me several times, but now he was after my family.

I would never forgive him for that or even let him lay a finger on what is mine.

How could a man be so selfish? Pison wanted everything, the power, the throne, the people, my mate, my child and my life. It was beyond ridiculous.

I never knew there was darkness in him. If only I had seen a glimpse of it when we were younger, maybe I might have been more careful about my choices.

Rage pumped through my veins, and all I could see was red hot fury. I was pissed.

There was no way he would get my mate. The only way to end all of this was to kill Pison.

"I will go." I heard Eden say.

I gave her a sharp look, my attention fully riveted on her.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I will do what Pison asked. I will take Lily along with me and go into the palace to meet Pison." Eden said softly.

""No!" I thundered.
