Chapter 130
Zane waited at the entrance to Cypher's room and paced nervously, he heard that he was back from Moon Pack but he hadn't seen him yet. What kept him calm was his scent, he was in the mansion and that was enough to keep him calm and wait till he came over.
Guilt swam in his bloodstream and he recalled Cypher's state, not being there with him and leaving after a very heated argument that had to do with his cheating mate who was barely breathing.
He felt stupid and he hoped Cypher would not take his words seriously or he would be hurt beyond words. He pinched his jaw, lost in thought, his golden brown hair fell right on his face and made no effort of pushing it back, it was as if the hair was a shield to his disturbed mind at the moment.
Cypher, Maliya, Viola, he had never felt so confused and bothered in his life. Heavy footsteps echoed and he turned abruptly to see Cypher, looking like an abandoned and disappointed pet. Not even his looks could hide how broken he looked and he pondered deeply at the possibility that it might be from the effect of the war or the concern for his mate.
"Alpha.." he called out and bowed but Cypher didn't spare a glance, not even a flash at him that Zane was forced to take a mental look at his appearance if he looked like a guard but he didn't.
He pushed the door open and went inside and he followed suit, closing the door behind him.
His shoulders fell at every move, his handsome face was masked with sadness that brewed curiosity to Zane's bones but he only watched in silence and waited till he said a word to him.
Slowly, he unbuttoned his shirt and stared at his reflection of the mirror, which stto adjacent to the king's size bed. He took off his shirt to reveal his masculine glory and his thick ink tattoo in the middle of his back stood out. The sign of his demonic powers which surfaced, he made a history by controlling it without killing everyone on rampage and it was a good sign.
Cypher took off his briefs as if no one no one was in the room and walked towards the restroom naked to take his bath.
Zane knew this was his punishment, he couldn't fathom if it was but he knew that he stood up to him, yelled and denounced his authority as a Beta all because of his anger. He wanted to believe he was reacting that way towards him by giving the silent treatment even though he was aware that something else was eating him up, he was sure that Cypher was going to transfer his anger, frustration and aggression towards him.
In less than twenty minutes, he came out from the shower, fully dressed but with an open shirt his hair turned into curls, falling beneath his eyes. He was always a beauty to behold but even in his beauty that night, he looked like a wounded angel dressed in darkness.
"Get out Zane, I'm not your mate so stop staring at me like that." He finally said something and walked with careful strides to his chair.
"You look bothered." He said through his observation that Cypher scoffed.
"That's not your responsibility, Grayson would be more than happy to be worried for my sake." Cypher told him and he swallowed, biting back a bitter chuckle.
'I deserve it, just don't retaliate. I denied my responsibility, I denied my authority."
He muttered under his breath and sighed.
"You're my Alpha, I still get affected."
"Not now Zane, just fuck off. I'm in a very bad mood."
"Does it has to do with your mate?" Zane stubbornly asked him, cocking hisnejasnto gauge his reaction which was as stiff as a stone.
"It's none of your business!" He spat out and Zane kept quiet, silence reigned for a while before Zane continued
"She was worried about you, were you able to see her?"
"Zane??" He growled and stood up, his irises, stirring up a glint of Crimson and he bowed.
"I'm sorry Alpha."
"I don't care about your apologies Zane, shove it up your ass. What I need is rest, my space and call Grayson for me."
A pang of jealousy rose at Zane's chest as he mentioned his gamma again and he twitched his lips.
"What errand do you want to send him? I'll deliver it better."
"Don't worry, he's perfect for me and will be my beta while someone else takes his position as gamma. You're trespassing, and making me feel uncomfortable. I don't need your help Zane, just go!"
Cypher's tone was serious and Zane swallowed, there was no hint of unseriousness and the Alpha aura he used was more than enough to make Zane retreat.
"You're angry at the moment Alpha, can you stop it and be normal with me?" He gritted his teeth, starting to fight his aura of submitting to him. All his body wanted was to leave his sight immediately and fulfill his wish but his wolf and the whole heart was trying to suppress it. Fighting him back with all pressure.
"The only thing that would make me listen to you is get Venom or my brother, in one piece. Gareth has suddenly disappeared and it's a big hassle. But you'll get a reward in getting Sebastian's little brat called Venom. If you can do that for me Zane, I'll pretend as if we never had the conversation about you denouncing yourself before me and the guards!" He ordered and panic flooded his entire body making his heart thump into a skittering beat.
"Get out Zane!"
One more order and he found himself, leaving the room which he thought of ways to get Gareth by all means.
But the only person that could help him at the moment without any stress was other than Maliya, her crystal ball, her powers were all too unique to be ignored. He would meet her that night and make sure he talks to her irrespective of the danger that was screaming at him.
