ALPHA CYRUS - Fallen King

42. Options

When we arrived at the gates of the PackHouse, my eyes lifted up, staring directly at the red flags on top of the house that were swaying in the breeze.

I gripped onto the back of Enzo's wolf, sitting up straight as he jogged into the driveway, stopping right at the front steps. There was commotion - an understatement. There were warriors standing outside in their armour, led by Tristan. Rayne stood amongst them, lowering herself to do some sit ups. I guess Cyrus didn't approve of her request for a break away from the Pack.

"What..?" I exclaimed as Enzo came to an halt.

I quickly jumped off of him, standing on the ground, staring at the scene in front of me.

"What is going on?" I whispered. Enzo shifted quickly, standing naked beside me. I watched as his eyes scanned the entire driveway, like he was searching for something.

"Ah! There you are!" A deep voice called out and the two of us swung our heads in that direction.

Cyrus stood at the door, above us, dressed in a white button up shirt, rolled up at the sleeves. His hair was a little messy and he held the biggest smirk on his face. Even with all the disarray, I still managed to sexualise that man..

"I've been mind linking you, did you block me?" Cyrus asked Enzo.

"Who are we fighting against?" Enzo replied quickly.

"MoonCrest and Luminous." Cyrus said shortly, his purple eyes glistening under the moon. I widened mine, jogging up to meet him at the door.

"Why the hell are we fighting with MoonCrest?" I gasped.

Cyrus arms slid themselves across my waist, pulling me in close to him. His scent flooded my senses and I almost lost track of what I was saying.

"You look beautiful, Nevaeh." He breathed out, placing a kiss to my lips. I didn't back away, his lips grazed mine lightly and I felt the urge to grab his neck, pulling him towards me. But I fought against it.

"Cyrus, answer the question."

He let out a sigh, turning to his left where Madeline had surprisingly been standing.

"Please get the Beta some clothes, I need him leading the warriors to Luminous." Cyrus said calmly and turned around, walking into the house. I followed behind him, quickening my pace. Enzo followed suit, confusion clear in his face. Madeline left shortly after.

"He will do no such thing, Cyrus." I began, "Until you tell me their offence, no one is going to war with anyone."

"She has a point, Cyrus. What has happened?" Enzo asked, standing behind me - still naked.

The entire foyer was chaotic and I barely avoided all the wolves that were running around holding up their weapons in the sky. A couple would stop when they saw Cyrus and he'd bark orders at them casually.

"Cyrus?!" I raised my voice, grabbing his arm, pulling him to turn and face me.

"Yes, love?" He replied casually.

"What's going on?" I asked him again, more serious in my tone.

His eyes raised to Enzo then he turned and stepped into his office.

We followed behind him.

"The other packs are to blame for Mrs Macy's death and they will pay." Cyrus finally spat out and I instantly turned around to meet Enzo's confused eyes.

"You can't be serious.." I replied, holding Enzo's gaze for a moment.

"Her death is on their hands and I will not stand idle." Cyrus continued, sitting behind his desk, picking up a pen.
