The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 234

(Eros’s Pov)

As soon as | pulled away from Eden, | began to miss her again. | wanted her to be in my arms and to stay there

forever.

| looked up at the place where the Elders sat. Eden was walking towards the seat, her dress balled in one hand.

She walked quickly, probably trying to get seated before it starts.

It was hilarious the way the maids tried to catch

with her pace up

I smiled. Eden has never been one to waste ton what she wants to do.

The dress she wore hid her bump, but | could sense it well enough.

My pup.

| felt my chest swell in pride. There was nothing as satisfying as the woman you love having your own child.

| smiled again. My gaze fixed on her.

| must have been too lost in my thoughts because | heard Ryker scoff at me.

“Don’t you think you need to put your head in the game?” | heard Ryker say.

finally pulled my gaze away from her, and looked at him.

It still amazedhow alike we looked. It was like staring at a mirror, but | could still recognize the subtle

differences, like the

color and nose shape. eye

| pursed my lips. Then sighed.

“Do you really have to go this far?” | asked for the first tsince we started this drill.

Ryker rolled his eyes. “Don’t get comfortable withjust because | talked to you.”

“You act like a child,” I said.

“At least that’s better than the way you behave. Sometimes, | wonder why you are so stiff. Loosen up a little.” he

said.

| ignored his comment.

He had no idea how it had been growing up as a leader. It was hard knowing people looked up toto be better

than my father.

| couldn't afford to slip off for fear of disastrous consequences.

The shrill sound of the whistle cutoff from my thoughts, and Ryker smiled.

The instructor made sure Ryker and | were far apart from each other before yelling “start!”

| was barely able to get myself into a proper position before Ryker attacked. He tookby surprise and landed a

blow on my face.

The rules were simple: Fight in your human state, as a king who could defend himself in his human state can

defend anyone else with or without his hybrid wolf.

Lastly, the first person to fall on his back, loses.

Despite the fact that Ryker packed a good punch that madeagger, it wasn’t enough to throwdown.

| moved away from him. Ryker smirked, his gaze narrowed on the.

“I warned you to get your head in the game.” He said.

| didn’t react to his jibes. | kept my eyes on him, refusing to get distracted again.

From the way he moved, | saw that Ryker was a good fighter. He balled his fists and placed his left leg behind his

right. He was quick on his feet, faster than | was, but | knew | had more strength.

| knew Ryker was going to attack again, and already anticipated So when he rushed at me, | dodged in tand

grabbed a hold of the hand he flung at me. | pushed him away, and he reeled backward.

He smirked.

We danced around each other, each one of us eyeing the other like two predators.

Ryan attacked again; he tried a surprise attack onby changing the direction of his blows as soon as he

reached me.

| assumed he would hitin the face, but at the last minute his fist connected with my stomach.

The crowd roared in excitement, and | gasped as | bent forward, grabbing my sides.

Ryker immediately took advantage of this weakness and landed another blow with his elbow against my face.

My head reeled to the side, and | felt a crunch as if my nose broke. | tasted blood in my mouth, and | groaned in

pain.

| quickly moved away and nursed my pain for a second when Ryker attempted another attack.

He was good.

| tried hard to stop myself from fighting back as | wanted to study Ryker’s moves completely. | was already

getting a pattern.

He gunned for the weak points.

| saw that Ryker had begun to lose strength. He was gasping a little too fast, and | knew that he was tired.

The crowd got restless; sof them shouted in excitement, cheering Ryker on, while others cheeredon.

| fought hard to concentrate.

There was a slight ringing in my head that suddenly maderestless.

My vision becslightly blurry, and | saw Ryker. One minute he was far away, the next he was right in my face.

| somehow managed to hold him off because | knew another blow might be fatal to my body.

/ 1 pushed him away, and Ryker stepped back.

My breathing slowed and beclouder. It was suddenly as if the voice of everyone else faded to the

background.

| look to the crowd, my eyes focused on finding my mate. | needed to see her smile at me. But she wasn’t in the

splace | last saw her.

Eden was no longer on her seat, rather she stood, looking at another woman walk away. Then she ran after the

woman.

| narrowed my gaze on the other lady, and even from a distance, | recognized who she was.

Olivia. Eden's sister...
