ALPHA CYRUS - Fallen King

15. Defeated

6 PM - two hours after the Meeting with Alpha Cyrus and his men.

Nevaeh's P.O.V

"Has anyone seen Madeline?" I asked a couple of warriors, walking through the kitchen, leaning against the countertop.

They shook their heads in response, turning back to the fridge. I spun my head to my left, watching cautiously as Sydney entered the kitchen. She was dressed in casual attire, not her usual gym wear. For once, the girl wasn't drenched in sweat, and for once, she actually held a smile on her face.

"You're in a good mood," I spoke up and she turned her head to me.

"I just got some great news!" She replied with enthusiasm and I found myself wincing in shock. She was never so gleeful when speaking to me.

"About?" I asked dryly, standing up straight and turning to face her, my arse pressed against the edge of the countertop.

"Haven't you heard?" She scoffed and a smirk crept up her lips.

There she was! The usual Sydney!

"What a shame! I would've thought because you're the Luna..that you'd be more active in Pack discussions." She mocked and I rolled my eyes, folding my arms against my chest.

"Watch how you address me, Sydney. I'd hate to drop you again." I replied. It was true, Ive been training a lot in the last year and one day, one faithful day, I was finally able to knock Sydney down.

To my right, the other warriors had left the kitchen, leaving us alone.

"You were just lucky that one time. Anyways, I leave with the leaders to MoonLight." She replied.

"For?"

"To keep things in check obviously! The Alpha, Enzo and Mr Macy will be heading over there in the next week." She clarified.

"Oh, for how long?" I asked her the exact moment that Jordyn stepped into the kitchen.

"What's going on here?" Jordyn asked, raising her eyebrows and walking over to me. "Is she bothering you, Luna?"

Sydney let out a scoff and rolled her eyes, "For as long as Cyrus needs. Jaxon, Marcus and Darion will be heading to Luminous, leaving you - to run the Pack in the meantime."

"Me? alone?" I gasped and Jordyn let out a short chuckle.

"I mean, you'll have Kareem here with you and Tristan - if you can't handle the pressure." She smirked and turned around, heading out into the foyer. Jordyn pressed her shoulders towards mine, the two of us watching as Sydney trotted away. She opened the PackHouse front door and stepped outside, exposing Kendra that had just got here.

A smiled crept up my lips as I waved over to her. Kendra returned the smile and looked over to my side - where Jordyn was. To my left, I felt Jordyn tense and she turned her eyes to look elsewhere.

Awkward..

Kendra lowered her eyes and turned to her right, into the direction of the playroom.

"I'm hungry," Jordyn said aloud and stepped over to the refrigerator, opening it wide. I pushed myself up and sat down on the counter-top, letting out a frustrated groan.

"You two still aren't speaking? It's been a week!" I asked her and she shook her head, stretching out to grab the milk.

"Isn't it pointless? Like, what are you even fighting over?" I asked,

Jordyn closed the refrigerator door and placed the milk on the countertop, right beside my knee. She lifted her arms up and placed her blond hair into a messy bun.
