The Silent Alpha

Chapter 76: Friend 

***Natalia*** 

Rionna’s face pales when she turns to face me, a young woman standing at her side attempting to comfort her.

Something is very wrong here, Devina whispers.

"Where is Kota?" I ask, dread settling in the pit of my stomach.

"Where is my baby?"

"I- I ," Rionna stammers, tears clinging to her eyes as she looks around the play center frantically.

"I was just reading a magazine..." she whimpers.

"And then-" I follow her gaze, not seeing Kota anywhere in the playcenter.

"Where is my baby?" I repeat, handing my things to Celina and storming through the play center.

"Kota? Kota, ¢ donde estas? Dakota!"

Rionna follows close behind me, tears streaming down her face as I search for my pup.My lungs feel as though they are collapsing, every breath I take labored and almost too painful to take.I hold my breath as I search the area, refusing to breathe until I know my baby is safe.

A lump forms in my throat, trapping in the scream I want to release so desperately that it scratches and claws at my soul.

After a thorough search, I turn to Rionna, hoping this is all just a sick joke she’s playing.

"Where is he, Ri?" I ask her calmly, growing irritated when she opens her mouth but says nothing.

Grabbing her by the shoulders, I shake her violently.

"Where is my baby?!"

"I-I’m so sorry!" she cries, collapsing on her knees and begging for forgiveness.

"I was just reading my magazine when this-this man came up to me and-"

"Aman?!" I snap.

"What man?!"

"I don’t know." Rionna shakes her head.

"He was tall...blue eyes," she says, gesturing to her eyes.

"H-his hair, it was light but not blonde."

A chill crawls up my spine as she describes the man she had spoke to.

"H-He asked me which kid was mine and then I woke up all alone”  Rionna explains.

"I started searching for Kota and ....Oh Goddess! I’m so sorry!"

She sobs, taking my hands in hers and squeezing them for comfort.

"I don’t...I don’t know what happened! I don’t know! I looked away for just a moment, it was just a moment-"

She weeps uncontrollably, Agnes doing her best to soothe her.

Meanwhile, something inside me is breaking, shattering into a million pieces as I try to take a breath and find myself unable to inhale even an ounce of air.My chest tightens and it hurts.It hurts to breathe.

All the sounds of the world, Rionna’s sobs, the laughter of the children playing in the background, the questions Celina asks the other adults in the room...

suddenly go quiet, and all I hear is the sound of my own beating heart.

Ba dump...

Ba dump...

Ba dump..

Dakota...

It means friend and for many weeks after I left Silver Crest, Kota was my only friend.

After he was born, Kota became my only source of happiness and my daily reminder to keep moving forward.I could not just collapse because I had a little someone depending on me to be strong and brave.I had to work, I had to forget, I had to build my walls nice and tall so no one would ever hurt us again.

But now, as the world around me continues moving forward, my world...my small beautiful little world is gone.

All the pent up frustration I’ve held in for so long has finally reached its limit.It starts with the tears rolling down my cheeks and a burning in my throat.

My face flushes with anguish and Celina tries to calm me down.
