After I Torched Alive, My Alpha Went crazy novel Chapter 206

Carlos looked at me, his expression firm. "Grace, this is a mistake. Don't let him anywhere near Cyrus."

I hesitated. Carlos's concern was valid, but I couldn't ignore the possibility that Merhold might actually help. Against my better judgment, I nodded.

"Fine," I said. "Let's go."

Carlos let out an audible sigh, stepping aside reluctantly but not without a warning glare at Merhold. I led the way to the training grounds, my heart pounding with uncertainty.

Cyrus was there, as I knew he would be, his focus entirely on the punching bag in front of him. He hadn't noticed us yet, but when he did, his reaction was immediate.

He dropped his stance and moved toward us, positioning himself protectively in front of me. His sharp gaze fixed on Merhold, his body tense as he saw him for the second time.

"Why is he here?" Cyrus demanded, his tone edged with suspicion.

Merhold raised an eyebrow, his demeanor as relaxed as ever. "Calm down, kid. I'm not here to fight." Cyrus didn't budge. "Mum, what's going on here?"

I stepped to the side,"This is Merhold," I explained. "He's… here to help."Cyrus's expression didn't soften. "Help with what?"

Merhold chuckled, clearly entertained by the hostility. "With you, of course," he said, stepping closer. "You've got potential, but it's buried under layers of doubt. Let's fix that."

Cyrus took a step back, his posture defensive. "I don't need fixing," he said firmly.

"Relax," Merhold said again, his tone calm but insistent. "I'm not here to harm you. I'm here to show you what you're capable of."

Cyrus's gaze shifted to me, seeking assurance. I gave him a small nod, hoping it would ease his worry.

"Fine," Cyrus said, though his tone remained wary. "But I don't trust him."

Merhold grinned, clearly unfazed. "Trust takes time, my boy. But for now, let's start with honesty."

I stayed silent, watching the exchange unfold. Merhold's methods were unconventional, to say the least, but I couldn't deny that he had a way of getting under people's skin.

I couldn't quite grasp how I'd ended up here, dealing with Merhold of all people. I glanced at Cyrus, who still couldn't believe it. So, I had to speak up myself.
