The Beta's Regret (Eden and Eros) novel Chapter 232

I knew immediately that Susie was the reason why Eros stood before me now.

Eros looked furious and sad at the same time. He didn't take his gaze off me. I knew what he saw.

His mate wearing transparent nightwear and coming out of his brother's room. Everything about this scene screamed wrong.

There was a heavy silence that stretched between us, before I finally recovered from the shock and softly whispered “Eros.”

He didn't respond. He just looked at me like I had betrayed him.

I looked back to see Ryker come out of his room. He had a smirk on his face like he had done something with me.

I turned to Eros, who now stared at Ryker in anger.

“You are here.” Ryker said from behind me.

Eros clenched his teeth. I could see the way his jaw ticked furiously. He barely kept himself together.

“It looks as if I must have intruded in something… private.” Eros said.

Ryker chuckled. “So you know.”

I spun around in anger. “Stop it!” I snapped at Ryker.

He looked away, and I turned back to Eros, who looked irritated. I put my hands together in an apologetic manner.

“Eros, this isn't what it looks like.” I said in hope that he would believe me.

Eros scoffed. “I see.”

I thought of the best way to make him believe that I was saying the truth. I held his hand, but Eros immediately pulled away. I didn't let that stop me; I continued.

“Ryker only helped me out. There is nothing between us.”

Eros raised a brow and his gaze flicked to Ryker. I wasn't sure what Ryker did behind me, but Eros became more furious.

“Why are you here?” He asked Ryker.

“Why? Do you plan to beat me up or kill me like you tried to the other time?”

Eros didn’t break his blank expression. “At least I would get the satisfaction of seeing you in pain.”

Ryker smiled. “Well, at least Eden gave me the satisfaction of her presence.”

Eros frowned harder.

“That isn't true,” I said.

“How do I believe that?” Eros asked with a straight face.

He scoffed and looked away for a moment. I felt hurt. His words struck me deeper than I ever imagined.

“You don’t believe me.” I said.

Eros looked back at me with a firm gaze. “And should I?” He asked. “You never believed me either.”

I frowned. Was that what this was about? The argument we had last night?

Unable to bear the turn of conversation anymore, I grabbed a hold of Eros's hand and pulled him along with me. I didn’t let go until we were in our room and the door was closed.
