The Silent Alpha (Natalia)
Chapter 33
Zane***
Talia orders a pizza and the three of us sit by the fort and watch Shrek in Spanish.I can’t follow most of what is being said but the subtitles help.
Talia seems restless as we watch, glancing at me from the corner of her eye every so often and shifting on her pillow over and over again.
I know there’s something on her mind but I cannot bring myself to invade her privacy, so I timidly place my hand over hers, Talia flinching as the sparks ignite between us.
Ashamed, I pull my hand away but she takes it in hers and interlocks our fingers, muttering an apology under her breath.
“Sorry…it’ll just take a little getting used to,” she blushes, her thumb caressing mine.
“Your hands are…warm…” she smiles nervously.
She says nothing more, turning her attention back to the movie.
I want to ask her what is on her mind but before I can figure out a way to communicate, there’s a knock at the door.
A bit of dread settles in the pit of my stomach when I see Evan standing in the doorway.
He tries to hide his worried face with a smile, but his eyes give him away.
“The Queen wishes to speak to both of you about today’s… incident,” he says, carefully picking his words.
“Zane didn’t do anything wrong,”
Talia huffs, taking a Grayson practically swoons over the gesture and like a love sick puppy, demands to come out and mark her on sight.
Is that all you can think about right now? I snap at him, knowing we are very likely going to get kicked off the territory for his behavior.
No, I’m definitely thinking about her t**s too, Grayson replies nonchalantly.
Just look at how she’s puffing out her chest.
They look great in this top…
I despise you, I sigh, knowing there is no way to trade wolves at this point.
Trust me, I’d trade humans in a heartbeat, he retorts.
“I never said Zane did anything wrong,”
Evan explains calmly, though I can see the fear flicker in his eyes as he backs away from my small Latina mate who glares furiously at him.
“”Trust me, I would have loved to piss on Benoit Perrault years ago.”
“So then why-”
“Things are more complicated than you think and unfortunately, Zane and his wolf only made things worse,”
Evan interrupts.
“Please, just come to the Pack house so Aurora can speak to you both.”
Seeing that we would have to face Aurora sooner or later, we grab Kota and head to the pack house where Evan takes Kota out to play with Rio on the lawn while Talia and I head upstairs to Aurora’s office.I don’t smell the visiting Alphas anywhere, meaning they nervous.
Talia must be nervous too because she holds my hand as I open the door to the office, giving it a tight squeeze as we enter.
The tension in the room is thick, Aurora resting her head in her hands as she focuses on her breathing while her mate, Oliver, gives me a murderous look.
Carter, their Beta, seems to be the only one not upset at the moment, greeting both Talia and I with a smile.
A spine tingling fear washes over me when Oliver opens his mouth to speak.
“Do you have any idea what you two have done?”
Oliver growls, his blue eyes flickering between sapphire and silver.
“Do you have ANY idea how much you f****d up-”
“Oliver, stop it…”
Aurora warns, her face stern as she looks at her husband.
“Let them speak for themselves before you place blame on anyone.”
“You know as well as I do that it does not matter what the reason was.Zane had no right to pee on an Alpha visiting my territory!”
“Our territory,”
Aurora corrects him, Oliver’s mouth closing instantly.
“You forget, Zane and Talia are my guests here and Benoit, as a visitor, should have respected me by respecting my guests.You and I both know he has not!”
“So what do you propose we do?”
