The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 58

“Con, mom, where's Olivia?” | asked, chuckling dryly.

“I don’t know who you're talking about,” she replied with a frown.

My heartbeat accelerated. “You can’t be serious mom!” | exclaimed.

“Look, | don’t have tfor your tantrums. I'm going through a lot as we speak.” She muttered, “I've got to get

back to work.” She said, before leaving the room.

My eyes widened more. Everything was so confusing.

Mom doesn’t seem to remember her daughter, my sister, Olivia, And then we are struck here at Alpha Griffin's

house.

I've got so many questions burning in my soul, yet no answers. Where's my love? Where's Eros? Is he looking for

me?

Why did the moon goddess meet me? What happened before that? And why did she meet me?

Everything feels so different. | remember only sdetails. This.... feels like a new life.

| froze in my steps. Lyra’s party was tomorrow, but why does it feel so familiar? Like I'd experienced it before.

My curiosity increased, and | stepped closer.

“That isn’t bad,” she squealed. “Our beautiful daughter now has the opportunity to choose between Theo, and

King Eros...” Luna Belle was saying when my legs gave way.

King Eros. King Eros

My Eros.

“Don’t you know why he is called the Devil. He kills and destroys everything in his path. Besides, he is coming

for a business deal, and not the party celebration.” He said

“Whatever, I'll tell Lyra to take advantage of his presence. King Eros is the new big catch, while Theo Redwood is

| prefer Theo, because he listens. But King Eros is way out of my league...” he seemed to rethink his idea

“though if Lyra
