Mated to the cruelest Alpha

Episode 7

Cyrus's pov

I stood still in my office staring out from the window with a glass of wine in my hand. My mind was busy and unsettled, the incident a while ago made it so.

Clearly she still is in love with me. I sighed roughly as I sip my wine gingerly. It was dark and late already. I could overheard the howling from some werewolves coming from a distance. I knew vividly well ava wouldn't be able to sleep because of it. Well, that is if she hasn't changed just as I have. I remembered eight years back when we can still be called an item. She would stay awake all through the night in my arms due to the howling. I gritted my teeth as the familiar passion sweep through my thoughts. I have never expected her to show up for dinner in some sexy outfit.

Her Black hair was swept in a casual twist, and her silver earrings glittering like moving stars framed her lovely face. The image of how she had entered the dinning room still clung into my brain. The soft material of her red dress rippled over long silk stockings and clung to her waist and breasts. I left the window for some seconds to refill my glass of wine.

She had cried. I couldn't get her pitiful image away from my mind, her attempt to commit suicide actually amaze me. Does it? Not really, I have always feel her unconditional love for me but ... But NO! I caught her in bed with my brother. That night was enough to make me go crazy.

My mate in the arms of another man. No!. I should stop thinking about this shrewd lady.

I heard the door of my office open and closes, the scent of somewhat toast feels the air. Freya! That is the scent of pride's werewolves. I didn't turn to look at her, I'm really not in the mood to start a new argument with her.

Slowly I felt her fingers on my shoulder and then trail my back tenderly. I shut my eyes against the sensation. I felt nothing whenever Ava is concerned. That exactly was what makes me madder. I couldn't get her away from my thoughts and heart even though I hate her. I walk away from the window, hence breaking the contact between Freya and I.

" You are worried about that woman? " She asked me in a hard voice. I stop still when I heard her words. " Hell, she should have gotten use to the flow already. Not after eight years "

I didn't say any words. I walk to the couch in the middle of my office and sat down on one still sipping my wine gingerly. I could see Freya from the corner of my eyes. The way her shoulder sagged in worries. She walk up to me and sat on my lap gently. I didn't stare at her, I only focus on my wine and the empty place. Truth be said, I needed a distraction.

She brought her lips closer to mine and I look away as though to decline her offer. I heard her Wolf grunted impatiently.

" Cyrus please "

" Please what? " I asked finally staring into her eyes. She shiver a little as she saw the expression on my face. I got that feelings from her. I don't mean to brag but every female werewolves in the entire packs are willing to do my bidding thanks to my beauty. One of my greatest asset when women is concerned. While the men fears me a lot, thanks to my non smiling face.

I have instigated fear in all the werewolves that no one was able to stare into my eyes without shivering, just as Freya did some seconds ago.

The door open and closes again and Liam appeared in the doorway. He stopped when he take in my composure with Freya.

" Nevermind, I am going to bed " Freya says after Liam refuses to go away. Guess there is some important information he needs to relay to me. Freya brought her lips closer to mine once again and I didn't decline. She grazed her lips softly against mine and her Wolf moan in appreciation " Don't take too long before you join me " she finished before walking out still in my shirt.

I sighed softly when she closes the door and the sounds of her retreating steps reached my hearing. For a Long while I didn't say anything nor Liam who stood still beside the door. I turn to my wine and resume sipping it gingerly.

" Alpha Cyrus? " Liam called after a while.

" Hmm? " I replied without turning to him.

" We received some message from the Alpha of shallow pack some minutes ago "

I stopped sipping my wine to remember the Alpha of shallow pack. Shallow pack? Oh guess Olivia and Isla has gotten to the pack after all. I recall the one who has fallen in love told me it was shallow pack the man she love lives. I turn to Liam and nodded.

" Was it about the wedding? "

" Not at all My Alpha " Liam replied with a frown. His forehead shows lines of worries and I knew at once nothing is right. Liam's worries whenever werewolves from my pack got into trouble.

" What is it about? Who is this alpha? "

" Alpha Devan "

I frown deeply as I heard that familiar name. I know it is my duty to know all the names of Alphas and all but no, my hatred for anything and everything aside my pack won't allow me to indulge in something that seems less profitable to my pack.

" Was that not the man who is on Ava's heel? "

I asked and Liam nodded but he took some seconds before he answered. I'm sure he is admiring the fact that I speak out Ava's name without breaking a sweat for the first time in eight years.

" Yes , he is the one. The two ladies who journey to his pack for... "

" Olivia and Isla? " I interrupted as I get some wind of Liam's direction. No one hurt one of my pack, I only hope Devan knows that already.

" Yes... Alpha Devan had held down the two ladies in his pack. He sent a message some minutes ago that he is ready to make a bargain with you "

Suddenly my features frozen as if carved out of stone. I was furious.

" Alpha Cyrus, you are shifting " Liam whispers softly after some minutes. I gritted my teeth and slammed the glass of wine in my grip against the wall. The cup shattered into a million pieces and I felt Liam stood his ground but I know he is scared of how wild I'd be when I'm angry.

" Bargain? " I repeated dully " He want to bargain with what? "

" The two ladies against Ava Aries "

I scoffed at Liam's words dangerously. I see this certain Alpha called Devan have missed the part where I joke not with my pack. I turned to Liam with a frown.

" Keep this low till tomorrow, until father left for his home. I don't want him to worry for nothing "

" And our two ladies? "

I turn towards the window and frown deeply.

" I will be rescuing them myself "
