The Silent Alpha

Chapter 70: An unexpected gift 

***Natalia*** 

Agnes runs away as soon as Tylen and Zane leave, slamming the door to her room shut behind her with a loud bang before any of us can ask what just happened.

"Uh oh, mommy," Kota whispers.

"Egg-ness is sad.Why is she sad?"

"I don’t know, Kota," I murmur, kissing his forehead and inhaling the scent of his hair to calm my racing heart.

"I don’t know."

Rionna clears her throat, reminding me that we are not alone in the room and she smiles sheepishly when I look up at her.

"I should get going," she whispers quietly, holding a thick envelope in her hands.

"Goodnight." I hear the sob in her throat and hold out my hand to her.

"Are you alright?" I ask, Rionna struggling to hold her smile.

"I'm fine,"

She whispers, turning to hide her face.

Knowing she is trying to be strong and we currently only have each other to lean on, I gently rest my hand on her shoulder to offer her support.

"Are you alright?"

I repeat, the tears that she’s been holding back finally rolling down her cheeks, "Mommy, why is Nona sad?"

Kota asks, Rionna chuckling despite the tears clinging to her eyes.

"Kota, my love, can you go to my room and bring me a washcloth for Nona?" I ask, setting Kota down.

"They’re in the dresser."

He nods his head gingerly and stomps away, whispering "cloth for Nona" to himself.

I sit down on the sofa, patting the seat next to me for Rionna.She heaves a heavy sigh, her fingers fumbling with the envelope in her hands.

"Toran asked me for a divorce,"

Rionna whispers, my heart sinking to my stomach for her.

"He sent me the papers with Tylen- She pauses for a moment, her anger breaking through and she throws the envelope across the room, several pages spilling out.

"The coward didn’t even have the decency to say it to my face that he no longer loves me," Rionna whimpers into her hands.

"He lied to me about Zane and he’s involved him in this war and now this!"

She cries angrily, looking up from her hands.

"And you want to know the sick part?"

A weak smile spreads across her cheeks.

"I still love him."

The hurt in her voice is all too familiar to me and I give her hand a tight squeeze to let her know I’m here for her.

"I still loved Christian after I divorced him," I whisper as feelings for him."

"I was unaware you were divorced," Rionna sighs.

"Two very long years of marriage," I shrug.

"It seems like a distant memory now that I think about it.But my circumstances were different."

"How so?"

"My husband slept with my sister," I laugh bitterly.

"I was a few weeks pregnant when I found out."

"I'm sorry," Rionna says with a sad smile.

"Don’t be," I reply, giving her hand another squeeze.

"It was for the best.I didn’t realize how unhappy I was with him or how much I had given up of myself to be his wife until I walked away.Zane and Grayson changed everything.I’ve felt more love these past few weeks than I ever did in my two years with Christian.That’s why I want to marry him.Zane’s love is not empty.It’s gentle and patient.Our bond is not the only thing keeping us together."

"Toran and I have no bond between us but we have love...or so I thought," Rionna sighs.

"I could tell he was broken inside when I first woke up in the hospital room," she says with a soft smile.
