Cyrena's POV
Jackson suddenly stopped talking and touched my face, I slapped his hands away and he scoffed.
"You suddenly look pale, are you fine? Are you feeling okay?" Freddie asked, concerned about me.
My tongue felt tied as I couldn't give him a response, I felt my heartbeat increased with over a hundred beats and I struggled to keep myself still and not pass out.
I could feel raw emotions like anger and fury emit from Tyrell as he walked like the nemesis of a villain in an action packed movie towards me. I gulped in nervously and almost got burnt by the sheer hotness of his intense gaze.
He halted right before me and didn't say a word, I froze mentally, I didn't know what to say, do or even react. All I knew was that my heart was pumping blood mire faster than usual and I could pass out. His stare seem to pierce deep into the abyss of my soul. Even Freddie was under this effect as he couldn't utter a single word.
My eyes could only follow the movements of Tyrell and I saw a little frown crease his eyebrows as his eyes fell on Jackson was was still holding on to me. I gently removed my hand from Jackson's and chuckled nervously.
Tyrell's expression remained indifferent but it was better compared to before. He cleared his throat as he was about to speak.
"Welcome back home Doctor Cyrena." Tyrell greeted.
I couldn't say a word, his voice sounded hoarse and at the same time as smooth as silk as well, it was magical and musical combined, he looked at me, expecting a response but I hesitated and Freddie gently nudged me.
"Alpha Tyrell." I stuttered.
He acknowledged me with a nod and there was a moment of silent awkward silence between us.
"Alpha? You mean the alpha?" Freddie exclaimed.
I nodded, suddenly feeling proud of my alpha and his eyes almost popped out of it's sockets as he turned to face Tyrell.
"I'm Doctor Freddie Anderson Theodore but you can call me Freddie or Theo or anything you want, I've been hearing about you, infact, I've heard a lot about you and I must say that it is an honor to finally meet and see you." Freddie squealed.
Tyrell chuckled as Jackson extended a hand for a handshake and I could tell of the chuckling was a sarcastic one seeing that Tyrell didn't fancy Freddie However, Tyrell shook his hands and smiled warmly and I almost spat out blood seeing the sudden change in his attitude and then he turned to face me.
"Doctor Cyrena." He began.
"Please, call me Cyrena." I interjected.
He nodded
.
"Of course, Cyrena, it is my greatest pleasure and also every member of this pack to see you back in our midst, thank you for returning to your people and making us proud." Tyrell said, a glow in his eyes.
I coughed suddenly. His widened in shock and I could swear that for a split minute, I saw fear and concern in his eyes, I was losing my mind. Tyrell took a step forward was if to help me but decided against it as Freddie immediately handed a glass of water to me and began to gently pat my back to ease the cough.
Then I saw it again, the flash of angry and tension that Tyrell displayed when he first saw me and Jackson, he had scowl on his face as he watched our every movement.
"Are you alright, what have you choked on this time around you careless woman!" Jackson scolded.
I drank a little from the water and handed over the glass back to Jackson, mumbling a word of appreciation.
"You've spilled water on your dress, how clumsy can you be? when we retire to bed tonight after all these you owe me an explanation. I've never seen you like this before, are you nervous?" Freddie muttered mindlessly as he tried frantically to calm me down.
But I could see from the corner of my eyes that the alpha didn't seem too happy about it. Freddie clicked his tongue.
"I'll go get you a napkin, just stay here and do not go anywhere!" He instructed.
Before I could say a word, he was gone. Then I turned to face the alpha who was now wearing a huge smile that creep me out.
"So.." I said, letting my voice trailed off.
"It is quite impressive that you've become a woman we're all proud of today." Tyrell said, honesty evident in his tone.
I didn't know why but this brought tears to my heart as I got emotional.
"Thank you." He said, calmly.
"What?" I blurted.
"I'm sorry." I muttered but he laughed softly and waved it off.
"It's nothing, but with all seriousness and honesty, thank you for returning back to us, I know you're a successful, famous and well sought after and the fact that you chose to return to us especially at a time when we need you shows that you're not just dutiful but also wonderful and considerate, I dare say that you're unique and someone like you is extremely rare to come by." He stated.
My tongue cleaved to the roof of my tongue and though I was a doctor who knew how to not only treat illnesses, I also prided myself in being able to see through people and their true intentions and I was just dazzled by Tyrell's words.
"We all owe you a lot, especially me." He added and before I could retort, he reached out and touched my hands.
His hands were soft and gentle and when he gave mine a gentle squeeze, my attention was drawn back to his face which was now beaming with life and his eyes full of life, It was therapeutic and then he smiled; again at me and I felt a flutter at my heart, electric current flowing through me. A dopamine rush flowing through me, it was as if my neurons had sent a message to my brain that made it freeze.
It was at that moment that my brain decided to remind me of how dangerously handsome and hot Tyrell had become since the last time I saw him. Lost in my thoughts, I was only brought back to my senses as I felt a touch on my face, Tyrell used his thumb to wipe off a smudge at the corner of my lips and he looked like an Adonis while doing it in slow motion.
Then I snapped out it, remember exactly how hurt I was and cold he was when he rejected me. I cleared my throat and stepped away from him, unknowingly stepping on something causing me to trip, I yelled as I was about to fall but a strong pair of arms was quick to catch me and I found myself staring into those mesmerizing eyes of his. I instantly regained my balance and muttered a thank you
.
"I'm glad you're fine, maybe when you're free I could take you to see the pack? Jolt your memories and remind you of how things used to be?" He offered.
I smiled, thinking of how awesome it was going to be but then it dawned on me that he was being awfully nice because of my status, the pack needed a doctor and here was I, what good would it be of he didn't find a way to keep me here?
"You know, I might teach our little doctor one or two tricks." He said, winking mischievously at me.
Getting the lewd message he wished to pass across I was suddenly infuriated and slapped him hard across the face.
"How dare you!" I thundered.
