The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 214

(Rose’s Pov)

The cab pulled to a stop in front of Griffin’s house. It was the same pack house as when he was still Alpha. Even though, he had handed power over to his son-in-law, Theo, Alpha Griffin and Luna Belle was still living in the pack house.

I hesitated a little before I gathered the strength to push the car door open.

The driver helped me pull my bag from the car before he drove off.

Finally, I stood alone in front of the house.

The Silvermoon pack.

Memories of the terror I faced in the hands of Griffin flooded my mind, and I trembled. Fear gripped me.

I wasn't sure I was making the right choice by coming here. There were too many unhappy memories in this pack.

But this wasn't something I could avoid. I was here for my daughter.

I looked around. The pack was way different from what I was used to. There was something about the atmosphere that looked cold and dead.

I shouldn't be interested in that. I should be more interested in what I came here for, not how the pack has been.

My mind went back to Shevek.

After my fight with him, I received a call from Olivia, much to my surprise. The way she sounded on the phone broke my heart.

She was crying and begging me to come take her back home.

I couldn't believe it was Olivia. I was almost sure she was playing with me, not until I heard Griffin collect the phone from her and shout at me to come carry Olivia away.

He gave me the address, and I thought about the fact that finally, Olivia had begun to see the truth. I was excited and at the same time afraid of what Griffin had been doing to her, and what he might do if I refused to respond immediately.

I was desperate to save my daughter. Coming here gave me a sense of purpose after what happened between Shevek and me.

I shook my head. This was not the time to think about him.. I took a deep breath and walked to the front door. After a few moments, I knocked on the door.

At first, no one answered. It felt like time dragged on forever.

I knocked again.

This time, the door opened, and I came face to face with Belle, as her title was; Luna Belle. She wore a ready smile on her face, something I was not used to seeing whenever we met.

The smile was… too sweet.

I raised a brow in surprise.

“Rose!” Luna Belle shouted. “It's a pleasure to have you here. How have you been?”

I nodded. “Fine. Thank you. And you?”

She smirked. “As you can see, I'm good.” I thought I saw a hateful emotion cross her face, but before I could be too sure, it passed.

“Come in.” Belle invited and opened the door wider.

I entered the house. It was nice, but nothing like Shevek’s mansion, which dripped with elegance.

The house was large with expensive furnishings and modest designs, while Lord Shevek's mansion was like a place that could fit in over a hundred people living together.
