The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 182

(ROSE’s Pov- Eden’s Mom)

The first moment | saw Lord Shevek at my door, | almost didn't believe it. How did he find me? Why now? After

years of being treated like absolute trash by Griffin.

My first pregnancy was the most unexpected thing to happen to me.

At the time, | had waited so long for a mate, and | just assumed he didn’t exist since | never found him. When |

met Lord Shevek, | fell fast for his good looks and quick charms.

What gothooked on him was the sadness he tried to hide beneath his playful grin and flirty looks. I still don’t

know why | felt a great urge to comfort him back then, but | did.

And things got out of control.

It was the first tin my life | would experience something so overwhelming and uncontrollable.

The passion between us felt like it was lit by a flame, and before we knew it, we were in bed together as we

made love.

| never imagined an affair between a vampire and a werewolf would result in a child; none of us did.

The euphoric feeling | felt when we made love all those years ago washed overwhen | saw him again.

Followed by dread, despair, and pain. | feared he was here to take Eden away and manipulate her just like Griffin

did with my Olivia.

| felt a pang in my heart

Griffin has been nothing but a monster to me, and | prayed Olivia would eventually cto see exactly the kind

of man he was before it’s too late.

Lord Shevek, on the other hand, slowly madefeel at ease.

| began to let my guard down when he requested my permission to bring Eden to the coven. He acted like the

absolute gentleman, and | was beginning to get soaked in his charms.

All through the time, from when we left the house in his car and got to the coven, | was beginning to assume

things could spark up between us. | hoped for true love...

| knew Shevek had no beloved. He toldshe had died when we first met. | thought we would be able to start

something new but | was wrong. Things started to go wrong in my head the minute | heard him compliment

another woman in the dress shop and said he would consider the woman for a wife.

| remember the way he looked atwhen he finally noticed | was in the shop. | was so angry that | returned his

soft gaze with a glare. Maybe | was the foolish one. We had barely spent more than five hours with each other,

and | already planned a forever with him in my head. He had that effect on me. And no matter how angry | felt, |

just couldn’t get myself to lash out at him.

Somehow | still allowed myself to believe things could change if his feelings changed towards me.

Then there was his harem of women.

That was my undoing.

Dinner was torture. Every second killed me, and | held myself back from bursting into a pool of tears at the table.

To think I had to bear the metallic stench of blood and still tolerate the other young and beautiful women touch

the man | wanted. It was horrible.

I had known pain before, but this felt different, like healed wounds were opened anew and poked with a sharp

knife.

When Lord Shevek and Eden left the room, Vanessa had smiled at me, twirling her black hair in a flirty way. She

looked like she was ready to sleep with anything and anyone that cher way, but she acted nicely, gavea

soft smile.

The rest of the women unfortunately didn’t share the sfeelings. They scoffed and made sly comments about

how Shevek had brought in a wretch and boldly told| would never be anything to Shevek.

By the tEden and Shevek cback into the room, | was barely keeping my emotions together.

It felt like I would die if | kept watching them, so | took an excuse and left soon after.

| made a dash to my room. The bedside lamp dimly lit the room, offered a partial darkness that calmed me, and

as soon as | plopped myself into bed, the tears began to flow out all at once.

What had | been thinking that Shevek would offer something different? That he would cto loveif only |

let him see that I still want him? It was pathetic.

| cried myself to sleep.

It was deep in the night when a growl wokeup from sleep. | opened my eyes to see a figure lurked in the

dark. The moon was high in the sky, and | could see a silhouette.

My heart skipped, and | sat up with a start.

“Who is there?” | whispered.

“Rose.” | heard a familiar voice.

Lord Shevek. There was a short silence before the figure moved. | let out a breath of relief when | confirmed it

was him.

“What are you doing here?” | asked, dragging the sheets closer to me.

“I'm not sure.” He growled. He eyed me, then suddenly moved away. “I'm sorry | shouldn't be here.”

Before he could leave, | jumped out of bed and grabbed him by the arm.

“Wait.”

The lights were enough forto see every detail of his face from where | stood.

His fangs were out. But it didn’t scare me; nothing about Shevek could ever scare me. | saw a certain depth of

anger in his eyes, along with something else, desire.

It was clear enough that | couldn't miss it.

“You should letgo, Rose.” He snarled.

“No.” I held his face.

In that moment, all | wanted was to feel his hands on me. To hold me, while he does the exact things | had

dreamt of to me. | didn’t care if he had a harem of women at his beck and call. In this moment, | only saw myself

and Shevek.

My voice cout as a whisper, “I want you to touch me.”

And he did; the next moment was too fast forto keep pace with. He grabbedby the waist and tugged my

head backwards until | bared my neck to him.

He hadagainst the wall, which supported my weight.

He growled and licked my skin, his fangs scraping the surface. Then his lips found mine.

The fangs went back in as we kissed-hot, fast. There was no stop. Everything happened all at once.

He pushed his hand into my gown and parted my tighs as he dug a finger into my core. And as quick as | could

imagine, Shevek drove in and out of me. In no t| was so wet that | dripped down the side of my thighs.

My groans fill the room. Before | knew what Shevek was doing, he was down on me.

| gasped when his tongue plunged into me. It felt cold against my burning core. How could it feel so good?

| was mortified and tried to close my legs. He pulled it back open with a growl

“Don’t ever hide yourself from me.”

| trembled. His words sent my heart racing. | threw my head back with a moan as | felt pressure build within me.

Soon, | gripped the wall as hard as | could and trembled violently as his tongue broughtto climax.

He wasn’t done.

Shevek stood up, his mouth glistening with remnants of my pleasure. | felt shy and gasped in surprise when he

suddenly sweptoff my feet and

carriedin his arms.

“What are you doing?” | asked wide-eyed, and gripped his shoulders for balance.

“I want you in my bed.” He said it darkly. It was more of a command than anything else.

| just nodded, and in less than a second, like a flash of lightning, he brought us to his room, on his bed.

He laiddown gently and undressed. Under the soft red lights, he looked majestic, his toned and hard. He was

every bit as handsas when I first met him.

“strip.” He commanded.

And | did. | knelt on the bed and pulled off my clothes. He watched me. His eyes followed every movement |

made, it seton fire.

As soon as the last piece of clothing dropped, Shevek pulledto him.

Soon our moans filled the room. He grabbed my neck, my eyes widened when his fangs elongated.

The next thing | felt was a sharp sting as he drove his fangs into my neck. It soon turned into pleasure, blood

dripped down my chest, and heightened my pleasure.

Our bodies slapped furiously against each other. He was so fast and so hard | could hardly see things clearly. |

held on to him until | climaxed. | buried my face in his neck as | screamed his name, his skin muffled the sound.
