The Silent Alpha (Natalia)
Chapter 18
Natalia***
The bright light peeking through the window stings my swollen eyes and I let out a soft groan.I do not want to wake up, not after the lousy night of nightmares I had.
In need of some comfort, I stretch out my hand in search of Kota.
My eyes bulge open, however, when I find the bed empty, his side of the bed cold.
“Kota?” I whisper, looking around the room frantically, feeling my heart sink to the pit of my stomach.
“Kota!” I scream, tears springing to my eyes as last night’s nightmares flash through my mind.
Zane’s head pops up from my side of the room and I look over to see Kota snuggled up beside him, his stuffed wolf in his arms.
Zane looks equally bewildered to find the pup curled up on his side, his body growing tense with my silence.
How did he get down there? I wonder as I scramble out of bed to pick him up.It’s doesn’t matter ,I scold myself.
I’m just glad he’s okay.I gently pick up the sleepy pup, holding him close to my chest as several tears spill onto my cheeks.
Kota mumbles a hello to me, his sleepy voice soothing my heart.I squeeze him tightly, a slight sob escaping my throat.
“He won’t take you,” I hiccup to myself as I comb my fingers l ignore Zane’s pained look, not caring that I probably looked like a lunatic to him.
“Estas bien Mami? (Are you okay, mommy?)” Kota asks when I finally loosen up my grip.He pulls back from my arms and pokes at my eyes and cheeks, staring at me with cute furrowed brows.
“You don’t look so good.” I feign hurt at his words and hold back my laughter.
“Am I ugly?” I ask.
He shakes his head definitively.
“Bonita, Bonita,” he sings.
“I have the prettiest mommy in the whole world!”
He shouts, my ears ringing from the sudden sound of his loud voice.I shower his chubby cheeks with kisses, feeling relieved to not be alone in this wolf’s den.
“Where did you go?” I ask.
“Why did you go sleep on the floor with Zane?”
Kota fidgets with his stuffed wolf before whispering close to my ear.
“l had a nightmare,” he says, hugging his wolf tightly.
“A big bad wolf came to take me away.”
My heart nearly stops as the blood drains from my face.I want to scream but my words never spill out of my mouth.
All through the night, I dreamt of Christian finding us and taking Kota from me, disposing of me as he did all those years ago training to take over the Alpha title, turning my sweet little boy into a hardened Alpha.
Kota’s large eyes widen and he smiles at Zane who blushes under his gaze.
“But then Zane saved me, mommy.He didn’t let the bad wolf take me!”
He climbs out of my lap and runs into Zane’s arms.
“And then – And then Zane’s wolf carried me home!” Zane’s face freezes, his body tensing at the mention of his wolf.
“Aoh aoh aaooooh!” Kota suddenly howls like a wolf.
“Zane is a wolf, mommy. Did you know that?”
He howls happily again.
