Vicious Submissive (BoyxBoy)

Short and Thirsty: Leo POV

I groomed my baby as we waited for our turn. He'd fallen asleep as the announcer had explained the rules and pairings, which I'd found very cute. I wouldn't wake him until it was close to our turn, and we had about five pairings until that happened. As I reached the top of his head, he let out a wolfish sigh, and I had to stop myself from huffing in laughter. When he was like this, he was so fucking adorable and I could easily see where little Ciara got it from. I watched the fights happen, accented by the sounds of Cy's soft snores. He'd gotten up in the middle of the night since Ciara had decided she wanted a bit of attention. Her mama had, of course, spoiled her for an hour before coaxing her back to sleep. That, mixed with the attack this morning, and I couldn't blame him for taking a nap. Burying my face in his fur, I inhaled his scent, savouring it before checking to see what fight we were on.

I sighed when I realized it was the fourth one. I wanted my baby to sleep a bit longer. Huffing quietly, I nudged him awake gently. He whined quietly before his pale blue eyes met mine. I licked his cheek, and he purred before yawning. I stepped away, and he stretched before leaning against me. His face was pressed into my neck; surrounding me in his sweet scent of Jasmine and honey, causing me to purr in contentment. The round ended, and we were called up. We walked into the ring, side by side, and stood across from our opponents. They were a pair of jaguars. Coincidentally, one of them was Tyler's Gamma. Fun. I licked my muzzle in anticipation. As soon as the bell rang out, Cyrus closed the distance and tackled the gamma to the ground at full force before grabbing him by the scruff and throwing him into the other jaguar. There was a raspy growl/yelp as the jaguar tumbleweed rolled across the ring and right out of the barrier. Cyrus growled in irritation as the end of the round was signaled with the bell and we were named as the winners.

Cyrus picked out Tyler from the ring and let out a threatening growl before walking back to our spot with me. Josh's light brown wolf walked up with Terrence, one of the warriors and a good friend of ours. Josh shook his head as Cy laid down and closed his eyes. I stood over him once more as Terrence spoke through the link,

 You all's fight was so short

One of Cy's pale blue orbs opened and looked towards Terrence,

 I either ended it quickly or beat them slowly 'til they forfeit

I'd never heard a wolf gulp, but I'm sure that's what Terrence did while Josh looked warily towards his future Luna. He decided to simply dismiss it and shook his head once more before looking towards the battles. The Preliminary rounds ended after about 2 hours, with 14 participants cut. Of course, none of them were from the advanced class. No one wanted to fail battle training in their senior year. Or at all, for that matter. After they gave the final announcement and said that the next rounds would happen next week, we were allowed to leave. Before long, Cy was asleep in the passenger seat of my car and I was caressing his hand in my own. He woke up as we reached the packhouse and kissed my cheek,

 "Let me feed Ciara, then I'll meet you in Mical's office."

I nodded and kissed his lips before getting out along with him. I walked to my dad's office and sat across from his desk. He leaned away from his computer and raised a brow,

 "Where's my son-in-law?"

I smirked,

 "Feeding your grandchild, but I'm doing great, dad. Thanks for asking."

He snorted as he went back to his computer,

  "You're obviously fine. If you weren't, I'd know."

I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes. The door opened and Ari's scent entered the room. He pulled up a chair beside me and sat down, before looking over to me,

 "How was the competition?"

 "They had the shortest round in history, I'm sure."

Josh pulled a chair up next to me as he slipped into the room. Ari raised a brow while I rolled my eyes at my best friend. He stuck his tongue out as Ari asked from my other side,

 "What do you mean?"

Josh crossed his arms,

 "I mean that if you tried to time them, the fight would have been over before you even pulled the timer up."

 "Oh?"

My dad leaned around his computer with curiosity. Josh smirked mischievously,

 "Don't get too excited, Alpha. Cyrus threw the competition out of the ring before Leo had a chance to do much more than lick his chops thirstily."

I raised my brows at the accusation,

 "Thirstily?!"

Josh raised a playfully accusatory brow,

 "What else were you doing but thirsting over your mate, beating the crap out of those idiots?"

I might be thirstier than a dying man in a desert for my baby, but I wasn't being thirsty then; Cyrus was just too fast for me to react. I didn't get a chance to defend myself as both Ari and dad tsked before dad spoke in a gently scolding tone,

 "Now, son. There's a time to be horny and a time to be honorable. Mid-battle is definitely not the time to be thinking about giving me more grandchildren."

My eyes widened as looked towards my dad while Josh burst out laughing,

 "Dad!"

 "I'll have to agree with your dad on this one, young Alpha. There's a time and place for everything and the only thing that should be hard on the battlefield are claws and fangs."

My head whipped towards a solemnly nodding Ari who had crossed his arms, while Josh nearly fell out the chair from laughing so hard,

 "Who the hell said anything about being hard?!"

 "Language, Leo..."

Language?! My language was the least of my concerns right now! I looked towards Josh, who was trying to wipe tears from his eyes as he continued to laugh. I narrowed my eyes and tackled him to the ground. Ari and dad started to chuckle as I put a still giggling Josh into a headlock. At this particular moment, Cyrus walked in, yawning cutely. He took in the scene with a stoic expression before looking at me and Josh with a single raised brow. I pushed Josh away and scrambled up, hugging my baby pitifully while burying my face in his neck. He ran his fingers through my hair as he spoke,

 "Did I miss something?"

I kissed his cheek before leaning my head against his as I pouted,

 "Just my family bullying me."

Cy simply blinked and said,

 "Oh?"

I nodded, and he gave me his signature smile before guiding me back to my seat and sitting on my lap; sliding my hands around his waist as he leaned back with his eyes closed,

 "Do you still feel bullied, baby?"

My wolf purred as I kissed the base of his neck and cheek,

 "Someone was being bullied, gorgeous?"

Josh clicked his tongue as he went back to his seat while sticking his tongue at me; his fun ruined since I was caked up with my baby. My dad and Ari chuckled some more before he cleared his throat and clicked a few things on his computer. When he met our eyes again, he had a serious expression. We waited for his next words, ready to see what the council thought of all this.
