Chapter 59 Family Connection: Cyrus POV

• The interview had continued going back and forth between speculations, any information I could provide, as well as the information they had so far. Once it’d ended, they’d asked us if we’d be at the meeting later in the week with Mical and some of the other Alphas and Clan Heads in the larger area that were experiencing the same issues with the ferals; which we would. With even this small portion of the problem being revealed, people needed to open up communication between each other as well be prepared to examine the attacking ferals for more information on the experimentation and possible ways to counteract.

They were engaged in conversation, so I didn’t interrupt, but I also didn’t want to leave without greeting Queen either. How could I not greet family, as he’d put it?
