The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 41

Kai POV

I finish banging Candice and order her to leave. When she’s gone, I sit in my chair and twiddle my thumbs. My

mind keeps flashing back to the fact there is a prisoner in the dungeon. While part of me is more than happy for them

to cool their heels and wait for me to go down there, another part of me is almost desperate to see this prisoner, my wolf especially. Does he know something that I don’t?

Please go down to the dungeon. For heaven’s sake, stop procrastinating.

It’s just a pathetic shifter, Storm, why bother? We can leave them for a few days. They’re nothing special. Plus,

they are an i***t for traveling alone. They can take the time to think about their stupidity.

But something is telling me it’s important. Always trust your gut.

Will you leave me alone for Christ’s sake? You are imagining things.

Not until you go down there.

Fine, you annoying mutt, I’ll go down there. Happy now? I swear..

Yes, Very.

Damnit Storm, I think to myself rather crossly. I stomp out of the room and ignore the startled pack members

who watch my every move. I imagine some of the women are turning away in disgust, over the horrible scars that are

prominent on my face. I don’t blame them, even I know how hideous I look. After all, I’m definitely no Prince

Charming and that suits me just fine.

I stomped outside and over to the dungeon doors. Storm is excited for some inexplicable reason and it’s

annoying as hell. The door opens with a loud creak and I make a mental note to fix that. It looks just like I remember it as I progress down the stairs. The same smell of dampness and mildew, not to mention the metallic scent of blood. It’s dark, the only light coming from barred windows. It’s not the most welcoming place, but it’s not designed to be.

It’s designed for torture and imprisonment.

I sniff. There’s a curious smell wafting towards me, like strawberries and cream. My stomach gets butterflies to

sort of strange perfume? I frown. I’ve just realized that

as I tell him to shut the hell up. My gaze falls onto the small girl inside and my heart skips a beat. This had

prank of some kind, anything but

this isn’t happening. Not again. I have a girlfriend, who might not exactly love to pieces, but that! really liked having around. This had to be a mistake. I walked closer, my eyes

spurt of anger at the thought that one of my men might have caused it. If they had, I’d kill them. She’s slightly dirty and when she turns towards me, our

life.

But she doesn’t speak to my

The girl is still eyeing me, as though frightened, and I feel a small pang of guilt. I hadn’t meant to frighten her. If I’d known beforehand that she was mute, I wouldn’t have used my Alpha tone on her. But I don’t know

the words to accept the rejection? I don’t think her writing down

would be fine.

She’s tightlipped and pale but follows me none the less to my satisfaction. At least she can follow orders. That’s useful. In fact, that gives me

idea.

Is she afraid that I’ll hit her? I’ve never hit a woman in my life. I feel a bit dismayed. Storm keeps calling

and regarded her quietly. She’s avoiding my eyes and looking around the room with interest. She’s so child-like, innocent and it’s hard not to
