The Beta’s Regret

(Lord Shevek's Pov)

"At first, Griffin and Theo were deep in conversation when they came in, so they didn't notice if anything went wrong." I said.

Eden cocked her head to the side curiously. "What were they talking about?"

"Something about an attack on Coronation Day." I watched Eden. She gasped. "Eros?"

I nodded. "Griffin was convinced that the little cult they had formed with King Pison held more power and that it was the future." I frowned. "Those were his words. And apparently they were ready to launch an attack to take over, but he wanted Theo to be a part of it." Adonis moved closer; the baby in his arms whined softly as if to protest the movement he made.

"What did Theo say?" Adonis asked.

"The younger man had no interest in it. He couldn't see things the way Griffin saw them." I scoffed. "I wasn't surprised. Theo struck me as a very selfish wolf." "Then why was Theo still working with Griffin?" Eden asked.

I sighed and nudged my head in her direction. "For you."

"Me?" Eden squeaked.

I nodded in response.

I took a moment to look around and observed that everyone had surrounded us, even though a large number of them wasn't paying attention to our conversations. "Theo wanted you. Griffin must have promised him that he will get you to him, and that was all he was after."

"But why me?" Eden frowned.

I shrugged.

"I have no idea, but I knew that as long as I was alive, Theo wasn't going to lay his nasty claw on my daughter." my jaws clenched.
