The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 228

(Luna Belle’s Pov)

Things were becoming worse than I expected.

I had always known how much Griffin hated Rose, but I never imagined he would be bold enough to try to take her life.

I sighed and moved to the dressing mirror on one side of my room.

I stared at my appearance.

I still looked as beautiful as I used to be. Maybe older and wrinkled, but beautiful nonetheless.

When we were younger, Rose and I were the best of friends. There wasn't a thing we didn't know about each other.

At the time, I had a huge crush on Griffin. He was the Alpha’s son ans soon-to-be Alpha of our pack, so it was quite difficult to get him to notice me.

I already had my own mate, who I rejected. He was a lowly Omega, and I never could imagine a life with him, not when I was attracted to the Alpha, and I knew there was a chance to get him to love me.

Rose was always the romantic type. She waited desperately for her mate, but when she didn't find one, she gave up on it.

Then when Rose came to visit me and found out that Griffin was her mate, I was devastated that my best friend and crush were mates. Just when I thought it was all over, Rose confided in me that she was pregnant.

She told me about a vampire, and how she already had something to do with the stranger...

Griffin found out and rejected my friend, and then, I in turn betrayed her by marrying her mate.

I couldn't say no when he reached out to me to marry me to spite my friend..

I still remember the look in her eyes when she found out I was getting married to Griffin.

She looked I stabbed her with a knife in her heart. My decision was horrible, but there was no going back for me. I was going to live, and achieve my dream of being Luna at the detriment of our friendship.

After our marriage, I told him lies vabout Rose being promiscuous, so he would never go back to her.

Griffin believed all of this even when Rose tried to tell him it wasn't true; he never believed.

I sighed and moved away from the mirror.

I couldn’t look at myself without feeling disgusted.

I felt guilt for everything I had done to Rose.

Griffin made me his mate, but he never loved me. He kept Rose as a concubine and used her to satisfy his desire. I made sure Rose spent every moment in this house in terror.

It wasn’t enough that I got the man I wanted; I wanted his love too.

But I never got it, up till now.

All the time I spent making Rose miserable, all the years I spent making sure Eden and Olivia had a horrible life because of their mother, was all for nothing.

I helped Griffin get his revenge on Rose, but it was of no use. He never loved me more because of that.
