The Beta’s Regret

(Eden’s Pov).

For a moment, there was no movement.

Then Ryker broke the silence. “Who are you?” he gestured towards the elders, and Eros gave him a sharp look “You shouldn’t be concerned. This is royal business.”

Ryker frowned but said nothing.

One of the elders stepped forward and faced me. “It’s time we make ourselves known to you, I am Elder Crandall. The first.”

He stepped back, and another Elder stepped forward. “I’m Elder Vallarta. The second.

The third person stepped forward, “And I’m Elder Gallegos the hird. We are the three highest elders.”

After that, they stopped talking. I assumed others would make themselves known when necessary.

Then Eros stepped forward, and I placed a hand on his arm. I wasn’t sure I was ready for this. Eros turned to me and smiled in reassurance.

The elders divided themselves into a group of two, six on both sides.

Behind them, a car waited for us. The back door was opened, and a driver stood beside it, patiently waiting.

“We have to go.” Eros said softly. I nodded. He took my hands in his and began to lead me towards the car.

“Wait please,” I pulled us to a stop.

Eros looked at me in confusion. “Is there a problem?”

I shook my head. “No. I just need to say something.”

I turned and faced Ryker. He wore a stony expression. It was obvious he wasn’t pleased with what was going on “Please tell my father that I had something I needed to attend to, and I had to leave.”

Ryker rolled his eyes and shrugged.

I contemplated the fact that I could leave without a care if he told Lord Shevek or not, but I wouldn’t want my father to come back and find my absence without a proper explanation.
