The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 218

(Shevek’s Pov)

As I ran, the forest wind whipped over my skin.

Earlier, I chose to use the forest to get to the Silvermoon pack and not by car.

I had no idea why I had the strong urge to stay hidden even though I knew I could easily announce myself and meet Rose if she would accept to see me.

We shouldn't have had that fight. It was all a misunderstanding, and I should have answered her questions when she asked me.

I felt a light pang of guilt as I admitted that I was responsible for it.

The honest truth was I refused to put my pride aside to get the woman I wanted, and it wasn't until Eden had confronted me before I fully realized what I had done.

I didn't want to lose Rose, not when I knew she was the woman for me.

My beloved.

I quickened my pace. I was already within the Silvermoon territory. I knew how most wolf packs operated.

They would have guard wolves at the borders, which made it almost impossible to penetrate without being caught.

That was why I came prepared. I knew that in between the evening and midnight shifts, there would be a few minutes of distraction, and the guard wolves wouldn't be on alert. That was the best time to slip in like I did.

Aside from that, I used a potion to hide my scent. It was something Kaliyah had taught me before her death.

I slipped in unnoticed.

In no time, I was in front of the pack house, but I stuck to the shadows.

From the investigation I had carried out and what Rose told me, I knew the mate who rejected her was Alpha Griffin, the former Alpha of this pack, and this was exactly where he would be.

I took a few minutes to inspect the house, looking for ways I could sneak in.

It was a large house. Not like my mansion, but it was impressive. However, I could see the evidence of lack of maintenance.

Things were beginning to fall apart here, it's only a matter of time.

I felt an odd sense of satisfaction knowing that the Alpha who maltreated my beloved might not have a legacy very soon.

When I mapped out my movements, I moved quickly, at the speed of light.

I paid attention to the sounds coming out from the pack house. It was different from what I expected. There was no activity, nothing. I couldn't feel Rose anywhere.

I frowned.

An unusual feeling crawled into me, and I had an idea that maybe this was a trap. Everywhere was just too quiet.

Or maybe it was just me, but something seemed very strange about this place. I expected to see guards around the house, which should have made it more difficult to get in.

I could sense that people were still awake and in the house, but I haven't heard a sound

I shoved those thoughts aside and continued inspecting.
