The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 280

The moment Alpha Griffin stepped out again, Arthur immediately closed the gap between us and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"You should leave now." He said quickly. "It won't be good for us if anyone else came in and still saw you here."

It was obvious that Arthur was scared of Pison. I sniffed, and cleaned the tears that streamed down my face... Alpha Griffin dared to touch what was precious to me, I would make sure that he experiences terror. Arthur shuffled on his feet, catching my attention once more as I turned to him.

"Can you take me to my parents? I want to see them." I said softly.

Arthur's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Pison has his men all over the place, it would implicate me if they ever saw us with them."

I sighed. It was true. Arthur might be respected, but Pison has supreme authority. His words were law.

Knowing that I wouldn't be able to see my parents except Pison approved of it, another thought came to my mind.

"Can I have a piece of paper and a pen?"I asked.

Arthur raised a brow. "Is there something you want to tell them? You could just tell me and I would pass it on to them."

I shook my head. There was no way I would allow Arthur into the plans my parents and I shared. Although Arthur was already aware of my intention to get rid of Pison, I couldn't trust him completely, afterall he betrayed Eros. "Please?" I asked.

Arthur nodded and stepped away from me. He was gone for a few seconds, and returned with a piece of paper and a pen which he handed to me.
