ALPHA CYRUS - Fallen King

35. Cut Deep

"So let me get this straight," I said, glancing at Cyrus who sat behind the table, elbows rested on the table, eyes - blue, faced down. He intertwined his hands and leaned forward, resting his chin.

"You're sending him —" I glanced at Enzo. "Back to MoonLight and calling for Mr Macy."

"Yes I think we were really clear about that." Enzo growled and I ignored him, turning my attention to Marcus.

"How is Mr Macy?" I asked concerned.

"Very ill but the man hasn't said anything." Marcus replied.

I stood up, walking over to Cyrus, placing my hand on his shoulder.

"He's going to be fine, Cyrus." I tried to convince him even though I wasn't even sure of it.

"Mrs Macy will be devastated." Cyrus said softly. That was the most he had said in the last thirty minutes.

"That's if she doesn't already know." Jaxon stated.

"Alpha, do I have permission to leave now?" Enzo asked formally.

Cyrus looked up at him, his eyes dull.

"Cyrus?" I asked again when he didn't say anything.

Cyrus turned away, staring into oblivion.

I turned my head to Enzo. "You can go," I said simply.

"With all due respect, Nevaeh, but I was asking the Alpha." Enzo said standing up.

"Does it look like Cyrus is in any state to be giving out orders? I'm the Luna so I say that you can go." I defended and Enzo's lips formed into a tight line. He tapped the table a couple times before nodding and turning around, walking out of the room.

"What would you like us to do?" Marcus asked me and I shrugged, looking over at Cyrus expectantly. When he failed to make eye contact, I turned my attention back to Marcus and Jaxon.

"Marcus, you will keep contact with Darion. I want to know everything about Mr Macy. When he coughs tell me, when he sneezes, tell me — everything. But make sure that Mr Macy doesn't have any idea that we know because the last thing we want is for him to get defensive and refuse to leave MoonLight." I said sternly and Marcus nodded, lifting his phone from his pocket and exiting the room.

"Oh Marcus!" Jaxon called out just before Marcus was out of our view.

"What?" The man yelled back.

"Tell Darion that Jordyn and I fucked, will you?" Jaxon said casually and I opened my mouth in shock.

"I'm not doing that," Marcus laughed and slammed the door.

"Jaxon," I said, trying to refocus myself.

"Yes ma'am," The blonde smiled widely, leaning back in his seat. "I already know what you're going to say, and I completely agree."

I placed my hands on my hips, leaning on the edge of Cyrus' table.

"And what's that?"

"You want me to stay here and keep the Alpha company so he doesn't get lonely or act out in rage." Jaxon said casually and I watched as Cyrus turned his head into Jaxon's direction.

Cyrus gave him a slight glare but his eyes didn't match it. Cyrus was amused but he didn't want to show it.

"No, I wasn't going to say that." I laughed at Jaxon. "I want you to keep your eye out for any suspicious behaviour. We're still looking for a traitor and I think you'd be the best person to go around asking questions casually without people thinking otherwise." I clarified.
