The Beta’s Regret

(Alice's Pov)

She

was definitely crazy.

My hand loosened around Eden's neck and I allowed it to fall to my side in confusion

while I stared at Eden

Her laughter mocked me. It was as if she knew something I haven't figured out, and It was obvious Eden wasn't scared of me. She smirked and straightened her dress before crossing her arms to face me head on. I felt a small shiver but still maintained my cold demeanor "What is so funny?" I snared at her.

"Just the lady in front of me," She shrugged.

I frowned. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"You are just pathetic." Eden spat out.

I felt a surge of anger grow in me. "Are you insane?"

She looked around as she sighed. "You are nothing but a nasty betrayer. First, you killed Nova, then you tried to kill me... It is how far you are willing to go to have your evil desires."

I sucked my teeth. "Aren't you doing the same thing? Betraying your mate? I can see how you are sucking up to Pison just so he can make you the queen. You act like you love your precious mate, but here you are."

Eden cocked a grin. "My mate has nothing to do with this, besides who wouldn't want to be queen with so much power to control?" She took a step forward, her face in mine. "Seeing how desperate you want it, you must have sold yourself to try to get your hands on the crown,"

I felt shame wash over me, but I swallowed it back. "Watch what you say to me" I growled.

"Or what?" Eden shook her head. "You disgust me. You are nothing but a piece of rag, used and discarded. You fell for the little tricks of people who care less about you. You make me sick."

Hot tears pricked at my eyes. My heart hung heavy at the hurtful words Eden threw at me. I never imagined that Eden would say things to hurt me, even though I tried to kill her. She was always sweet and dotting to me. Her wordings hurt so much.
