The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 143

| went near the phone and took it in my handl. It was from an unknown number. | hit my lower lip nervously, and

clicked on

the message

“Hello dear, didn’t you miss me?”

Thro

| had totally forgotten about him. He did say that he was going to contactlater, but | had been so caught up

with and my shifting that | didn’t think of him for a moment.

Even when | thought of my old pack, my mother and Alpha Griffin, his thoughts never crossed my head.

| thought about it for a while before typing a message:

“not really.” | placed the phone on the bed and turned around when another beep sound reached me.

“Con, | know you did. | just thought of messaging you when your father, or should | say, Alpha Griffin

mentioned you today. | am sorry and miss you.”

My fingers froze on the screen when | read that Alpha Grahn. Did my supposed birth father even thought of me

Did he really care about me? Did he regret givingto Eros? Various doubts flashed through my mind. Each

added more confusion to my already confused brain.

| was also not sure if Theo was simply making up stories to maketalk to him. But then | had to know what

was going on in the pack, at home.

So | typed a message and hit the send button “Good. Thank you”

His reply cin shortly. “Alpha Griffin was a just a little tense. The new changes in the treaty are taking away

most of the rights and freedom from Alphas. | furrowed my eyebrows and hastily typed “I don’t understand”

“Wait, letcall you” My eyes went wide. Messaging him was okay but | was in no mood to talk to him. And

what if anybody heardtalking to him?

Theo was bad news...

The phone began to ring not even a second later, but | quickly put it on silent mode and dashed to the doors and

windows to

ensure

they were well shut.

Then | grabbed the phone and went in the bathroom and received the call, careful to keep my voice low,

“Hey Sweetheart, how are you?”

“What happened to Alpha Griffin?” | went straight to the point. If he was unhappy with my lack of interest in

answering his earlier question, he did not show,

“Your Eros... is making the laws stricter and tightening his grip over pack affairs. People are not happy with the

way he is managing things.”

I ignored that too and asked, “How is it affecting Alpha Griffin?”

Theo answered, “If you noticeil, Alpha Griffin and a few others were not even invited to the pack meetings

recently. He fears he is losing credibility amongst the other alphas that Eros favors, It will be bad for our pack if

we lose out on our reputation. Nobody would want to trade with us in the long run.”

| wondered about it, | knew little of pack affairs, but | recalled that Eros didn’t have a favorable impression of my

dad when he first cto Lyra’s birthday party.

| was lost in thought, but Theo's voice broughtto the present,

“But | did you to tell you that. Are you still upset with me? | am willing to apologize again. | am sorry for

everything.

L

sweetheart.”

| did not know what to say to that. My thoughts were more occupied with my father than Theo’s lattempts

to it soothe

Would you not be upset if | tried to drug you and force myself upon you?” | asked, and surprisingly, Theo fell

silent for a

while.

“I understand | wronged you, Sweetheart. | just was not thinking straight. And that is why | am apologizing to you

over and over again. | miss you” He said, but | did not have it in my heart to outright yell at him. | needed more

information from him.

“Look Theo, | am not your sweetheart. | am just someone you know.” Theo seemed a little hurt by my words, but

| felt nice to finally ask him to stop callingsweetheart. It irkedto hear him say that.

1-1 liked you. I still do. But if you don’t like me, that is okay. | was just missing you.”

You said Alpha Griffin was not invited to the meetings with the Hybrid King, right?” Theo replied,

“He wasn’t.” | did not comment on his earlier line and even he didn’t probefurther about it. Earlier, | had

been too weak to state my thoughts right away, but now, with Tiara, | could feel sof her confidence seeping

into my bones.

“Well | guess, things aren't always as we claim it to be. Nonetheless, I've got to go. Bye” | said and ended the

call.

| wondered if he was trying to be better person and was truly sorry for what he did, or perhaps it’s all a farce?

He has apologized a couple of times about the incident at the club, but does he deserve a better treatment from

me? What about my mother and Alpha Griffin?

My thoughts drifted back to my mother and home, and | longed to see her. Now, after talking with Theo,

someone from my mom's pack, the urge intensified even further.

| kept replaying my conversation with Theo over and over again. Back at our pack, he used to be obnoxious and

arrogant, but he never really apologized toin his entire life.

But what if something was going wrong in the pack?

What if with this rogue happenings, sours and overtake Silver moon's territory?

What if somebody attacked and my mom now decide to wage a war a

No. I could not let that happen.

(too

| have to find out what was going on. And | just may have the perfect plan to see my mother again.
