As you might expect, not all the Elders were pleased with the recent turn of events—Jeff losing his gile and Queen Eliza stepping in to assume his responsibilities. The air was thick with tension, and Elder Dawn felt that tension boiling within her. The moment the Royal family exited the Chamber, she reached for her phone, her fingers trembling with anger as she dialed her family.
“Can you believe the audacity of the Queen?” she fumed, her voice barely contained. “How dare she deny my younger brother the opportunity to take over Jeff’s duties! This is a blatant insult to our family!”
Her father, a man of considerable influence, quickly convened a meeting with the other Elders who shared his sentiments. They were all wary of the Royals gaining too much power. The atmosphere in the room was charged, filled with whispers of discontent and concern.
“How many of us would support the Royals if they decide to leave Queen Eliza in charge of the Servants?” her father inquired, his brow furrowed in thought. Elder Dawn scanned the room, but she could only muster the names of those present.
“Princess Dallas will be our biggest challenge,” one Elder interjected, breaking the silence. “She didn’t grow up within these walls and has learned to fend for herself, especially after her abandonment by Princess Dezra and her Father.”
Elder Dawn’s gaze flickered to her phone, her frustration mounting with each passing moment. Every time she glanced at her father, she shook her head, a silent communication of her growing unease.
The group of Elders engaged in a spirited discussion, trying to decipher the motives behind the upcoming meeting on Monday. But no matter how they dissected the situation, clarity eluded them.
“Perhaps one of the Servants overheard something about Monday’s agenda,” her father suggested, but Elder Dawn’s head shook vehemently.
“They dismissed the Servants until morning. Princess Dallas insisted on spending the evening with her family, giving her the time to bond with them,” she explained, her voice tinged with frustration.
They deliberated the implications of having Princess Dallas at the Palace. None could articulate a valid reason to prevent her from assuming her rightful place as the Royal Beta, but they all agreed that during Monday’s meeting, they would endeavor to delay her ascension.
“If she doesn’t accept the position right away, we might retain more control over the Royal family,” Elder Dawn proposed, her mind racing with possibilities.
“Vaughn will never accept that,” another Elder interjected. “You heard him during today’s meeting; he was adamant about it. And with Princess Dallas sitting next to him on Monday, it’s only going to complicate matters.”
The rest of the weekend was filled with furtive meetings, yet no one could provide them with any useful information. Dallas had effectively barred the Servants from her suite, and the entire Royal family moved in and out of that space like clockwork, leaving the Elders in the dark.
Even Elder Dawn’s attempts to speak with Dallas were thwarted, leaving the Elders with little choice but to bide their time until the meeting after the weekend.
Their clandestine gatherings had not gone unnoticed, however. Dallas’ Squad, ever vigilant, decided to gather evidence for their Squad captain. Each Elder who attended those meetings found themselves under scrutiny, their families and histories investigated with meticulous detail.
Elder Jensen met with Elder Venetia over the weekend, both of them relishing the chance to listen to the grumbling about the dismissal of the Servants.
Neither of them spoke aloud; their communication flowed seamlessly through the mind-link, an unspoken bond that allowed them to share thoughts without drawing attention.
“Dallas is going to stir up quite a storm around here,” Elder Jensen remarked, a hint of admiration in his tone. He understood that Dallas possessed a fierce sense of justice, one that would not tolerate any form of entitlement among the Shifters.
“She’s already causing chaos. I wonder how many Elders will still hold their titles by the time she’s finished,” Elder Venetia replied, her eyes scanning the room, ever watchful.
To the casual observer, it appeared they were diligently working; however, they were also discreetly eavesdropping on discussions among the Servants and Elders about reclaiming their lost power.
“Why would a Royal want to prepare their own dinner? It makes no sense. We are trained to cook and care for the Royals,” one Servant questioned, incredulous.
“She wanted to bond with her family, or so she claimed. I doubt she even knows how to cook or how to care for her Mate,” Lucia countered, her tone laced with skepticism.
The Servants engaged in a heated debate about Dallas’s ability to care for her Mates, especially after one pointed out that she had two.
“They should have chosen their Mates ages ago. They’re too old to be mated to a Royal,” Lucia muttered, her voice barely above a whisper as she exited the main living room.
“What was that all about? Why would Daxton and Darius be too old to be mated to Dallas?” Venetia questioned Jensen, her brow furrowing in confusion.
Neither had an answer, leading them to the conclusion that they needed to consult their fathers. These were men who had navigated the complexities of the Royals and the Elders far longer than they had and could likely provide the insight they needed.
By the time the weekend drew to a close, Elder Jensen had shared his overheard revelations with his father, who immediately grasped what Lucia had been referring to. Meanwhile, Elder Venetia discussed the new information with her family, all of whom were adamant about not allowing the Elders to interfere with a true Mate-bond.
Though both Jensen and Venetia found the situation peculiar, they knew it would be a hot topic during Monday morning’s meeting. They speculated on which Elder would broach the subject, confident it would be addressed, and made plans to thwart any attempts to discredit Dallas.
As the weekend came to an end, Jensen and Venetia met outside the Palace, ready to share breakfast and anticipate the events leading up to the meeting. If only someone had warned them that Dallas had no intention of playing nice with anyone.
“Good morning, Uncle Vaughn. Good morning, Aunt Eliza,” Dallas greeted cheerfully as she entered the main dining room, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife.
Jensen and Venetia exchanged glances, noting the fierce look Dallas directed at Elder Dawn. If looks could kill, they thought, one less Elder would be a concern in their upcoming meeting.
