She frowned slightly, Cyrus was gone already, he must have hardly slept at all, it made her heart physically ache. She could see he was worried, and worse doubted himself. She knew the feeling, she felt like that constantly when he showed up with his mate nobody knew anything about, and he was there for her, he got her through it. She would just have to find a way to help him as well. Starting with Marco. That man was trouble, and trouble for her Cy. But Cy had asked her to leave him be, so she would, for now. If he did not change his tune in a week (how long was he going to mope like a child that got its toy taken away, really) she was going to set him straight, one way or another.<br/><br/>By the time she got to the meeting she was surprised to find that Preston and Jaymuse were there already, yet Cyrus was not, he was even more distracted than she thought. She eyed the two men in the room, they were like two awkward teens. What was up with the men of this pack?! Finding one's mate is the single most wonderful thing that could happen, what was going on in Jaymus' head?! No, that was one place she was staying far away from. "Goodmorning gentlemen" she greeted<br/><br/>The door opened and Cyrus stormed in before rudely getting on with business, she frowned at him before sitting down so they would get started, today was going to be a long day.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(136, 80, 213)"><span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="font-family: 'Bad Script', 'cursive'">Alexander</span></span></span><br/><br/>Alex woke late, it sounded like the entire packhouse was up already. That was no surprise, he usually slept in, and the fact that he could sleep through anything did not help that fact any. By the time he got to the kitchen, it was more of a bunch than a breakfast. One of the older pack members that worked in the kitchen brought him out a massive plate of bacon "Oh Ester, what would I do without you?" "Starve," the older woman said with a smile "I noticed you haven't come down yet so I kept you a plate" He gave her a big goofy grin, mouth already stuffed with bacon before he took a seat next to the window.<br/><br/>Last night had been great fun! He loved running in the pack and even though there were rumours going around about literally all their new leaders, he trusted them, even liked them. He grew up with Cyrus, they had a birthday only days apart and even though he respected the man greatly, they had never really been friends so to speak, he was just too serious for him and even lectured him on being lazy once or twice. Preston, he didn't really know all that well, after joining the pack as a teen he mostly kept to himself or spend time with Cyrus, he did not agree with the rumours that he should not be Beta, the Beta needed to have the Alphas back. And even he could see Preston had that covered. Marco was a hothead and a spoilsport he avoided when he could. The Luna he did not know well at all, she showed up a couple of months back with Cyrus one day. He swears Cyrus became easier to deal with after that. Mates were weird, everybody he knew that were mated said it was the best thing ever, he personally was glad he had not found his. He tried having a conversation with her once, it did not go well, it ended with her growling at him (not even in wolf form!) and him hi-tailing it. She was nice, kind of, but WAY too uptight and serious to his liking.<br/>Jaymus, ah yes Jaymus the new Gamma. Now there was an interesting one, he was younger than him so they were never really in the same circles as children, and he was a very serious youth, which of course meant Alex paid him no mind, yet since it was announced he was to be the new Gamma, he changed.<br/><br/>A kind of change Alex took notice of, it seemed he was fun after all (not to mention soft on the eye) last night during the break in the run he actually tacked the Luna! It was hilarious! After they got back he wanted to go ask him if he wanted to join him for a drink but he had disappeared. Oh well, the party went on anyhow right?! From his point of view, he could see the room the leaders often used for meeting, the Alpha stomped past the window towards the room disappearing into it. That man needed to relax, he was going to work himself to death, not a problem he had at all. He was going cliff diving in an hour or so with a couple of guys, he smiled when an idea crossed his mind. He was going to drag Jaymus along, see if he was as much fun as he looked.
