The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 168

(Eden’s Pov)

My mother blew her nose into the napkin folded in her palm. I wasn’t sure what to think. Ever since I woke up, everything had been happening way too fast, all at once. I thought coming Home would help me clear my mind.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I felt my stomach clench, as a great desire to run away gripped me. I could feel Tiara’s patience wearing thin, but I forced myself to stay still.

I never imagined for once that my mother might have gone through the pain of unrequited love. I know first hand, the torture that comes along with your mate rejecting you, and watching him sleep with another.

“I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Olivia.” My mother whispered, drawing back.

“You are not to blame.” I wiped a fallen tear off her cheek. “And nothing will happen to my sister”

Eros placed his hand on my shoulder from behind me, his warmth seeped into my skin, comforting me.

I had to face this. I needed to know the full truth, who exactly my father was. What’s his name? Did he ever come to look for me? Does he even know I exist? Or maybe he just doesn’t want me?

“Mom…” I started and trailed off as my mother stared at me with bloodshot eyes.

“Yes?”

“Nothing.” I whispered. This wasn’t the right time.

My mom nodded and moved away, mopping her eyes dry as she croaked out “You should get settled, Eden. Your room is cleaned already. You should rest.” she forced a smile on her face.

I responded with a nod, but before I could reach for the small luggage I brought along with me, Eros pulled it up, going before me.

Most of my belongings were in Eros‘ home, and all I could bring along was this bag. I figured it contained what I needed for my little stay.

I followed behind Eros, while my Mom silently entered her room. It was obvious she needed time to herself.

So do I.

I was still trying to wrap my head around that my Father was a Vampire, and my mother hooked up

with for a one night

stand.

It didn’t make me feel good. How is it that she refused to tell me about this after all these years until now?

Eros pushed the bedroom door open, and we both entered.

Nothing had changed. It was almost the same way I left it, just cleaner. As I looked around, it felt as if time hadn’t passed. I was back to my 18 year old self dreaming of finding my one true mate and living a happily ever life.

A small smile coated my lips.

Eros dropped the bag and turned to catch me smiling. He looked around and grinned.

“Happy memories?” He asked NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

BB.

I nodded. My mind suddenly became trapped in my childhood for a moment. “Lot’s of it. Olivia and I were inseparable. Mom was the absolute best.”

My smile fell. “It’s sad to see what is happening to my family.”

Eros closed the gap his hands.

between us in one move. He pulled me to the edge of the bed and sat me down as he cradled my face in

“Nothing can take away your happiness if you don’t allow it. I want you to know that.”

I stared deep into his eyes, watching the kindness dancing in its depth and I felt my heart melt.

I laid my head on his shoulder, feeling my heart race a little too quickly.

Eros fingers intertwined with mine, sending a little shiver down my spine.

“I understand now.” He started, his voice low and husky. “Your hybrid transformation was seamless because you were a true hybrid.”

“I’m still in shock,” I mumbled.

Eden chuckled and planted a small kiss on the inside of my palm. My skin tingled as he whispered on my skin. “I miss you so much. When will you come home to me? I don’t think I can wait any longer. I need you.”

I lift my head and my eyes locked unto his. Before I could reply, he continued.

“On our way here, the kingmakers sent a message to me. They now know that you’ve awakened, and demand that we come to claim our rightful place as King and Queen.

I shivered. Not from desire this time.

“Can I have more time before then?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Eros‘ gaze softened as his hold tightened on mine. “Sure. But we are in this together. We’ll face it as one.”

I nodded.

Eros brought his hands back to my face once more as he positioned me for a kiss. He leaned in, his lips hastily meeting mine.

I moaned as he softly bit down on my lower lip, forcing me to open up as he went deeper, our tongues dancing a feverish tango.

My skin tingle, my stomach felt light and fuzzy as my toes curl from the intense passion.

I wrapped my hands around his neck trying to keep up with the kiss, but Eros was faster, hungrier.

In seconds, I was naked while Eros had his shirt off, and with one move, he picked me off the bed and wrapped my legs around his waist, making me settle against the bulge in his pants

Heat pooled in between my legs, and Eros growled, smelling my arousal.

“I want you so bad…”

His fingers quickly found their way between my legs as he buried a finger deep into me.

“Eros!” I gasped, feeling him work his way through, in and out. Slow pumps that soon became faster, and faster. “Oh yes…” I moaned louder.

BB

I moved my hips against his fingers, grinding trying to reach climax when Eden quickly pulled away. I groaned in disapproval, but he smirked.

He reached for his pants, and pulled his Length free. And before I could make another sound, Eros pulled me himself deep into me.

He filled me. For a moment he didn’t move, then he stood up, taking me along as he laid me on the bed.

up

and buried

He pulled out slowly to the tip, then slammed into me with a force that had me gripping the bed for support. I screamed as he continued to drive into me, in and out, continuously until I was at the edge.

My claws elongated as I dug into his skin. Eros released an animalistic growl, lifting his head slightly as his eyes glowed.

“you are so beautiful…” Eros whispered as his pace increased. “Call my name…”

“Eros… oh… yes, oh, my…Ah!” I screamed as my climax hit.

My body shook as my eyes rolled to the back. Eros increased his pace, breathing heavier as he got closer to the edge.

My toes curled, and I lifted myself to match his pace until we finally screamed out together.

Eros collapsed against me, and I wrapped my hands around his sweaty skin.

“I’ll miss you” Eros whispered in my ear and rolled to the side.

“Me too.” I smiled. I snuggled close to him, as we fell asleep in minutes.

When I woke up, I smiled as details of last night’s love–making flashed through my

mind.

I reached out to touch Eros on the other side of the bed, then frowned when I felt the soft pillow under my palms.

I opened my eyes to the empty spot beside me.

No Eros.

All that was left of him was his insane musky scent.
