The Silent Alpha (Natalia)
Chapter 2
***Natalia***
Tucking away my emotions, I stand on my feet and hand my mate the document claiming I am infertile.
“Just read it,” I whisper, feigning hurt.
He furrows his brows in concern and stares back at me with big blue eyes. “What is this, Nat?”
I want to vomit in his face for calling me that but I swallow the bile instead.
“It’s a fertility test. Lila checked my ovarian function and reserve a few days ago,” I whisper, refusing to meet his eye.
He studies the pages, his face growing grimmer by the second.
“Y-you’re infertile?” he asks, flipping through the pages once more for confirmation.
Before I can respond, a loud growl ripples through his chest and I back away immediately, nearly tripping over my feet as I do. His breath is ragged and his eyes turn green with fury.
“You’re infertile?!”
This is exactly the reaction I wanted from him but it frightens me no less that his wolf is coming out.
I knew Jack, his wolf, would never hurt me. But then again, I had thought the same of my husband and yet he slept with my sister.
“Y-yes, ” I stutter, my body growing stiff with fear as I stare at his wolf’s green eyes.
Jack was well known for having a temper almost beyond control and our mate bond was the only thing that calmed him down. As he towers over me with a menacing growl ripping through his chest, however, I wonder if it would be enough to keep me safe now.
His eyes go to my belly and I instinctively place a hand on it to protect my baby.
A terrible thought enters my mind. Could he sense the life growing within me?
I back away slowly and yelp when I bump into a wall directly behind me, my heart beating a mile a minute.
“J-jack,” I squeak, closing my eyes tightly, too afraid to look at him. “I-I’m so sorry,” I whimper, now realizing this was a bad idea.
“You’re sorry?” He laughs, the sound of his fist creating a hole in the wall next to my face making me burst into tears. “You’re f*****g sorry? Sorry doesn’t put a pup in your belly, Nat!” He snarls. “What the hell am I supposed to do now, huh?” He asks, gripping my chin between his fingers with such force, I know I’ll have a bruise in the morning. “I need an heir. That was your only task as my Luna. Your only use to me!”
My heart shatters into a million pieces.
Was that all I ever was to him? A breeding w***e? What about all our late night strolls under the moonlight? Our stolen kisses in the hallway? Our nights of passion so hot, I thought I would burn beneath him? Was none of it real?
I open my mouth to answer but a slap to the face stuns me into silence and I crash onto the floor. Cradling my stomach, I pray to whatever goddess exists that my baby is okay.
Jack had never hit me before. Ever. Neither had Christian and as I stare at the man I once called my husband, I feel a bitterness grow within me.
I feign hurt as I look up at him, cupping my burning cheek but inside I’m fuming with anger. I would remember this… and I would never forgive him for it.
His blue eyes return and Christian storms over to the closet, grabbing a suitcase and throwing my clothes inside.
