ALPHA CYRUS - Fallen King

21. Red Eyes

Location: BloodMoon Pack | NEVAEH'S P.O.V 10 PM

I stood standing on the balcony overlooking the forests. My eyes pierced on the light that directed towards the position of the intruders. About twenty warriors surrounded them, watching them intensively. Some had shifted into their wolves, barking at the intruders.

From my distance, I could see the two intruders, clenching to each other in fear. Our warriors were exchanging words with them, but it was difficult to use my enhanced hearing as it was obstructed by their constant barking and growling.

"We should be down there, what is the point of us staying here?" I said to Enzo whom stood beside me.

"Regardless of the threat, our job is to protect the Luna at all costs," He replied, eyes directed at the chaos in front of us. "Even if the Luna is you," He added and I let out a scoff, turning around, back into the Packhouse.

"Where are you going?!" He called behind me.

"How about the obvious?" I rolled my eyes, jogging down the stairs and onto the ground. The growls were much louder now but I pressed onwards, ignoring Enzo and his protests.

When I made it to the scene, I stood outside the circle, unable to see the intruders from my position.

"Hey!" I called out to one female warrior that stood in front of me. "Let me through please,"

She shook her head, looking behind me - an indication that Enzo was standing closeby.

"I am the Luna, let me pass!" I said sternly and Enzo grabbed my upperarm, turning me to face him.

"As the Beta, I advise that you let me go and sus things out. When I know that it is safe, I will call on you." He said seriously and I let out a growl in frustration.

At that moment, as he stared at me, I noticed that his hazel eyes were now brighter than ever - due to the moonlight.

"Do you understand?" He said, his voice low and serious.

"Yeah, whatever." I shook him off of me and folded my arms over my chest. Enzo stepped in front of me and glanced over at the previous female wolf. It was obvious that they exchanged words through mindlink because she instantly stood beside me, ready for combat.

"What do they look like?" I asked her.

"Rogues, Luna. They are laced with the stench of rogues." She replied, eyes facing the front.

It was completely useless standing here, waiting for Enzo's permission to engage. I couldn't see anything from here as the circle surrounding the intruders closed in, obstructing them from fleeing.

*Fuck this* I said to my wolf and ran forward, using as much force and speed that I had and pushed myself into the centre of the circle.

Before me stood Enzo -- a furious Enzo, and two rogues on their knees with their hands up in surrender. Their heads were faced to the ground and the female one whimpered in fear.

"Please, we only seek refuge," The male spoke up and I tried to observe his features, stepping closer to them.

"Stand back, Nevaeh," Enzo said and I ignored him, standing about two meters from the two wolves.

"Lift your heads," I instructed and I watched as the female dropped her hands and clutched her newborn against her chest. The pup was wrapped in torn material, staring at me cluelessly.

The male was the first to lift his head -- very slowly.

*Red eyes!* I gasped internally and almost took a step back.
