Chapter 21

"You have to be brave, even if we aren't together." She whispered her voice shaking, eyes floded with sorrow.

"No! I-I can't...you promised."

Reaching out, touching his face; she cried.

"I know, and I'm sorry. But no matter what happens, remember I'll always believe in you." He felt betrayed.

Abandoned.

Deserted.

Alone.

"Nay."

Shhh...

The noise of running water and light shinning on Cyrus's face had woken up the boy, he rose from his bed slightly dazed and confused. Knowing Cyrus doesn't remember laying down to sleep, hell he doesn't remember much from what happened last night. The bathroom door opens.

Al was drying his golden hair when he instantly glanced at Cyrus, the two looked at each other. He then noticed that the clothes he's wearing aren't his at all; they're too large for him.

"What happened? Where's my uniform?" Cyrus gritted.

"I had to change them, you passed out due to exhaustion and I needed to carry you back here to campus." Al explained.

Cyrus narrowed his sight on The Alpha.

This only meant one thing; he didn't listen to him.

Al touched him, even replaced his clothes, carried him.

"Our field training is cancelled until tommorow; ugly weather." Al excused. Cyrus saw that his school uniform was sitting on his bedside table, on top of it was his cracked cellphone. He checked the time, ten minutes until the breakfast bell rings. Cyrus got up and began to take off the huge t-shirt and sweat pants ignoring Al who also started to dress himself.

The Alpha expected nothing more from Cyrus.

And oh boy, did the blonde boy tried hard blocking Grim's suggestion of gawking at Cyrus. Okay, Al stole one glance.

(Honestly I can't blame Al anymore, Cyrus is sexy as hell also, no he didn't remove Cyrus's underwear. Al Respects him!)

----------------------

"Yeah chief, already informed the head principal. We'll keep patrolling around the institution and let you know if we spot some wild animals." Lucas was leaning against the side gates of Northwood, talking to his superior, the chief of police department. "So far Brickcircle hasn't had any attacks but we can't be too insouciant." Lacas agreed. "Of course chief Prescott." (Brickcircle is the name of the small town near Northwood.)

He sees The Older Alpha and grinned.

"Alright, I'll see you soon chief. Later." Lucas hung up.

"I assume everything went smoothly?" Weiler asked.

"Ahuh, they totally branded the murder as another animal attack though we shouldn't always think it'll be that way." Lucas stuffed his phone back inside his coat. "Humans are going to get more suspicious the longer these killings keep up Weiler. I gotta head back to the station, make sure that nothing in forensics ever traces back to us werewolves."

Weiler looks at Lucas strangely. "I presumed you were staying another day to investigate." He shook his head.

"Unlike you; I actually have a job. Besides, it's better if we split in locations to find this murderer. I already sent Tate and Izon to scout for anything unusual in the borderlines." Lucas began approaching his parked car.

The Older Alpha scrunched up his thick eyebrows; taunt.

"You're just saying that to leave me with the dirty work."

Lucas snickers. "I don't wanna take orders from Al. You're the only Alpha I'll answer to. That and he's annoying me."

"Chastain? What did that Delta do this time."

"Twins caught him trying to sneak pass lights out. They tied him to his bed afterwards just to be sure." Lucas got inside his vehicle, then rolled downward the driver's window.

"I'll update you if we get new information, too bad Jessie nor Katie didn't foresaw anything about the Rogue Killer. That would've helped." He then swapped on a pair of shades.

"Do me a favour; watch CJ. He's no where near ready to be a teenage father, barely knows how to cook scrambled eggs."

Weiler muttered. "Chastain doesn't listen to his own Beta, and you know I don't actually have that much power, not like I used to think I had." Lucas persuaded. "Pleaseeeee...just try."

"No, he's your youngest brother."

Lucas whines. "Baby why you gotta be like that!?"

"We're not boyfriends Beta, get over yourself." The Older Alpha stated emotionless. "I'm hurt, you owe me a date!" Lucas laughed, driving off before Weiler punched his face.

(I see you shipping and smiling, you see me trolling hehe)

Bubbles spoke. Remind me again why we tolerate Lucas?

Weiler massages the bridge of his nose. "Dunno. Loyalty over idiocy? Also Lucas is only using us to lessen his guilt."

------------------------

His chestnut iries transform into violet seeing the figure standing in the middle of the road that's in his way; Rainier.

Lucas exited his car and walked over.

"Ain't it a bit too early to become road kill?" He teased.

"Al didn't smell of Rogue blood the morning after. It's not him, whatever Weiler or you might think he's not responsi---"

"Wanna bet half breed? Al admitted to singlehandedly take out thirty High Rank Rogues yesterday; he's cruel and won't hesitate to sacrifice everyone else's safety."

Lucas smirked. "We're both Betas, but you're supporting a worthless Alpha."

Rainier simply replied. "That's because you don't know Al like I do. You don't understand, he didn't pick me to be his second in command." He whispered. "I chose Al on my own free will."

Rainier then left Lucas going back to school.

------------------------

"I'm terribly sorry for my behaviour previously, I misread the situation and jumped to conclusions." Weiler bowed formally, while the whole student body was shook several girls were squealing, seeing the breathtaking gorgeous third Alpha rank officier that's rarely seen in the cafeteria.

Cameras were filming the scene and somewhere else The Alpha seemed like he's ready to decapitate Weiler's head, Al stood up and left before he lost it and shifted into Grim.

Cyrus hated the attention but he typed. "it's fine, I'm sorry too." Maylin was glancing back and forth at the two guys.

The Gamma was thinking to herself.

Alert alert! Alrus ship is under invasion! Do something! But Weiler is kinda hot...and is less of a jackass than Al---NO! I vowed to remain faithful to Alrus! Al NEEDS Cyrus more!

Maylin inserts. "Um yah, he doesn't really speak much---"

"That's alright, I'll do my best to get to know Cyrus more personally. I guess I'll be seeing you around, officier Zeta."

Weiler smiled at him fondly, Cyrus meekly nodded and he left to go sit down with The Younger Alpha; very satisfied.

Maylin turns to her friend."I don't see you for one night, and you're already close to the most mysterious Alpha!? I need details; what happened between you and Weiler!?"

Cyrus shrugged and wrote. "We just got off on the wrong foot, the guy apologised. There's really nothing to tell Maylin."

Though Cyrus felt something was off, Weiler smelt like he was bleeding last night. He still couldn't figure out why. It could be Weiler slipped and hit his head then encountered him with a hostile attitude, because he was injured. Cyrus noticed The Older Alpha seemed to be...slightly too happy earlier.

------------------------

Weiler swiftly lifted up Shane's chin gazing down at him.

"You're spacing out Shany, I told you to get proper sleep didn't I? Should I be concerned?" Shane realised and looks away, in fear that his older cousin will see through his lie.

"I'm fine, just thinking is all." Weiler doesn't buy it.

"Alright, if you claim so." The Older Alpha kept his eyes on The Younger Alpha in case Shane changed his mind after.

I didn't think the day would come, you'd distance yourself from me Shane, like Al and... Weiler sighed, and dismissed his own thoughts. "I won't be around much; pack duties, guarding the areas especially with this ongoing Rogue killings. This school can only handle one Alpha in charge. And you know who's going to come out on top. I'm sorry Shany, I know it gets lonesome without a roommate around."

Shane appeared disappointed yet understood.

"I'll be fine, just be careful." Weiler nodded. "Thanks."

Weiler can't know what happened to me. Shane thought.

------------------------

After classes that day, Weiler corners The Omega and they hide behind the bleachers as Jessie confesses. "Al is going to give it up soon, but not without a fight are you sure you're ready? I can't...see exactly who's going against him though I predicted; they're strong and even managed to stop Al."

Weiler says. "Shane won't fight him, that just leaves me."

I'll undoubtedly lose.

------------------------

That evening, The Older Alpha stared at the full moon.

Al isn't improving Selena, I need to somehow remind my awful cousin he still has a heart...somewhere inside himself.

Weiler then plants a picture frame and left the office.

------------------------

"Somebody better be dying." Miranda muttered onto her phone irritatingly, waking up at this ungodly hour and have to be awake to train the other set of turned werewolves tomorrow.

"Unfortunately someone will, and It's not looking appealing for our ongoing investigation." She quickly sat up and clutched her phone tighter; anxious.

"Why? What happened?"

"One of the Strays gained thier consciousness recently and when I tried my best talking to them, they lunged at me and...I had to shift." Miranda cursed out.

"Jesus Christ, did Allison get to you?"

Walter chuckles. "Would I be able to speak to you if she didn't? And I'm fine." Miranda stood up and racked out her heavyweight suitcase. "I call bullshit..."

"I'll be there soon."

*********************************************

Author Note :

I was thinking the ship name be CyAl over Alrus but I tried saying it and it sounded weird (CyAl sounds like a phone brand) so I went for Alrus instead. (But Alrus sounds like a medicine used for your inner butt...dear brain, what the fuck?)

Canon facts.

Al is bisexual and a depressed abusive asshole.

Cyrus doesn't remember being kissed in the forehead.

Shane is still our Choco cinnamon roll. Love him.

Chase managed to untie himself from his bed.

Emmett still doubts Chase's excuse about the pranking Rainier and Emmett is related to chief Prescott.

No, Rainier isn't simp for Lucas. He was defending Al.

Jessie can't control when she'll see the future.

Maylin is kinda debating on who's best for Cyrus, she wants to help Al but knows he's hella psychopathic.

Will Weiler get a pairing? I mean he's a happily single, Spanish gentleman, long pretty hair who knows?

Lucas, Tate and Izon are young adults in their 20s and Lucas is a Beta werewolf, also he's a special field detective agent while the twins are just new to it.

Miranda and Ernie handle newly turned werewolves, (bitten ones, not naturally born) though Ernie is mostly training them because Miranda runs Northwood.

Weiler was away from Northwood due to investigating the Rogue murders and since he's more reliable he gets assigned pack duties by thier grandmother frequently and Weiler is pronounced "WHY + LER = WEILER." He thinks he's no match for Al but Weiler hasn't tried to fight Al without holding back before. When they did fight on the previous chapter, Weiler was holding back, because he wants to believe Al isn't a lost cause just yet.

I've pre-written chapters almost until chapter 40? of this book but since I added new ones I need to make sure that the oncoming chapters make sense.

All your comments and support make author excited to keep trying, I was gonna skip this weekend in writing yet I remembered all your encouraging comments and how this ridiculous book makes you smile, yeah I'm watching you. Lol.

I sat down and typed, I made sure to break my damn fingers too. Just kidding. 👌Tap the star.
