Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Alpha Cyrus' POV

"Vampires are getting out of hand." I said to Daxton who's sitting on his swivel chair comfortably with a glass of wine in his hand.

Vampires are attacking some villagers near the werewolf borders. They are clearing the area to target the werewolf territories and as the Alpha King, Daxton should handle them but he seemed unfazed.

"Aren't you concerned?" I asked when he did not answer.

He's more concerned with that girl and I can't blame him, he's whipped. And, that girl isn't just a girl... but the future of the Kingdom. The future Queen Luna.

I was obliged to attend school for that reason, aside from that, I couldn't disobey the order of the King. He assigned me and Butch to protect that girl, me, the Alpha of the known Pack, Bloody Horn Pack is guarding a girl. Again, I kept telling myself that she isn't just a girl but the destined Queen Luna.

I don't understand what was in that girl to be chosen as the destined Queen Luna of the Werewolf Kingdom. She seemed... human but has the blood of a werewolf.

"Strengthen your pack, Roaster. Defend your own. If a vampire gets a hold of your land, you know what happens." He said and it sounds more of a threat.

I nodded and bowed my head when I was about to turn around he asked, "Where's Butch?" His voice was deadly and anger was evident.

"Probably on his pack." I answered and he nodded.

"Tell him to gather more men, Vampires are getting near his territory. I have to find out who's behind these attacks and what they want." He said and I bowed my head.

"I'll tell him."

I walked away from his office and decided to go and see Butch.

While driving my car, I couldn't help but think of that nerd. Anne Leidea.

I couldn't believe that I am so unlucky to have her as my mate. I also couldn't believe that my wolf was getting all excited about that nerdy woman, the daughter of an Alpha from a weak pack. He is turning insane every time I see that nerd's face, and even every time I think of her.

Fuck, there is no way I will accept that woman. It will only threaten my position as an alpha of my pack, she will just destroy my reputation.

'What the hell are you thinking, Cyrus!? She's our mate!' My wolf exclaimed madly.

'Don't get in my way, Rus.' I said to my wolf and blocked him from connecting to me.

When I reached the Crescendo Palace, I discovered that Butch had undergone a meeting with his high ranking men. He was already aware of the status of his pack and the threat that's coming all the way here. As expected for Butch.

I decided to proceed to his home bar to wait for him, when I got there I immediately took a bottle of wine and poured some on the glass I saw at the bar counter.

I immediately drink a glass of wine in one gulp. Damn, she's really getting inside my mind no matter how much I hate thinking of her, I cannot deny the fact that she's cute... so cute that I wanted to protect her with all my might.

Shit, what am I fucking thinking!? Her? Damn, she's a werewolf but a vulnerable one.

"Why are you acting like a loser?" Butch, out of nowhere, came.

He took his own drink from the fridge and sat in a stool chair beside me. His meeting was probably finished since he had time to drink with me here.

"Fuck off, Butch," I said to him. Even though he was the reason I am here but with all the thoughts in my head, all that I wanted right now is to be alone.

This man should be blamed for being too friendly to someone we don't even know.

To be honest, I am mad at him for even initiating the talk with those girls and I just went in this territory over Daxton order. Butch laughed at me and patted my back which made me even more irritated at him. Why is he getting more irritating as the time passes?

I hissed as I punched his arm, shoving it away from me.

"The fuck, bro?! What the hell is your problem?" He sounds a little irritated but the amusement in his voice is still evident. I knew that he was enjoying the sight of me getting miserable.

Damn, I am getting fired up over things which are unreasonable.

I played the ice in my drink with my index finger.

I did not even bother to answer Butch. He would just annoy me more than ever.

"Why are you here by the way?" He asked while grinning in mischief.

"Tch, just to give you some warnings." I simply answered, still annoyed by him.

"Did Daxton send you?" He asked and I could see the amusement in his eyes.

I knew that he was trying to test Daxton's patience that is why he was getting close with that Underwood.

"You should stop playing with his patience." I said to him in a serious voice.

"Why? Worried over me?" He asked, grinning. "You know what, I am not blind, Cyrus, I know what this is all about." The amusement is evident in his face as he said those words.

I was confused for a sudden by his words, still, I am annoyed by his expression.

He took a sip of his drink before saying, "What was the name again?" He paused, acting like he was recalling something. "Anne Leidea from Slytherin Pack."

"What the fuck are you saying, Butch!?" I hissed, being irritated at him even more.

I had probably said the word 'irritated' more than the number of my fingers.

He laughed at me and patted my back. He, then, said, "Saw your eyes dilating earlier at that woman."

I was about to protest but chose not to. There is no use denying it from him. He is just good at these things; he is an expert at finding out one's secrets.

"You are getting worked up over nothing, Cyrus." He said, this time he was serious.

I gritted my teeth. "From the weakest pack, really? Of all werewolves, I am bound to that woman." I said bitterly.

Just the thought of it gets me annoyed. Being an alpha of our pack, I should not have any weakness yet my mate is full of weakness. She will be the death of me and my family would never accept that kind of woman.

"So? What is the problem with that?" Butch asked casually as if he could not understand my reason.

He definitely knows what's running through my mind but chose to say something stupid. As if he was not protecting his own position, being the alpha of his pack too. He also held a high reputation.

However, Butch looks serious than ever and I barely see him like this. He sips at his own drink with a deep thought running through his mind.

"You'll be surprised if you'd know my mate," he said, with the sound of his voice, he seemed to not like his mate too.

So, we are stuck with women we can't even be proud of... Not that I am discriminating that Leidea but she will just be a hindrance to me, on fulfilling my responsibilities.

"I don't even care who your mate is," I said honestly at Butch because I know that he will be fine whoever his mate is. He has this happy-go-lucky attitude; he will for sure get along with any type of woman.

He snorted at me.

"Where is Daxton, anyway?" He asked curiously.

"In his office, probably thinking of ways to kill you." I answered and he just laughed.

"He'll never get old." He stated, smiling like an idiot for no reason.

"What have you done for Daxton to be that mad anyway?" I asked out of curiosity. I have noticed his annoyed expression ever since this morning.

Last night he was not that mad though, but this morning he was totally deadly.

He raised his bottle of beer and bumped it into my glass of wine. He, then, raised his brows. "You know how territorial Daxton is..."

I nodded, Butch must have done something related to Daxton's girl that made him so mad. Well, it was very Daxton.

We did not say a word after that and continued drinking with our thoughts getting occupied by those women who invade our minds. After hours, Butch and I separated our ways as I bid goodbye.

I don't know what has gotten into me, probably the alcohol in my system, because instead of heading home, I went into a different direction.
