The Silent Alpha

Bloodlines *““Natalia*** “Look, Mommy.

Pretty wolves,” Kota murmurs, everyone in the room staring at the pup.

He examines the picture, his tiny finger tracing along the wolf.

“So he’s gifted as well,” Aurora whispers to herself, her brows furrowing in confusion.

“But neither of you are Silver wolves.

I would have sensed that by now,” she thinks aloud, tapping her chin with her finger.

“And your ex-husband was the average Alpha.” “Average Alpha,” Oliver grumbles in annoyance, Aurora grinning mischievously at him.

“Aww, is the little French man mad he can’t see the pictures in the book?” she teases him, Oliver rolling his eyes at his mate.

“My poor little French snob,” She giggles, Oliver’s eyes narrowing to slits as he glares silently at her.

The Queen turns the page over for Kota, letting him look through the pictures and drawings in the enchanted book.

“Not all Silver and Gold wolves are the same,” the Queen continues.

“ Like with everything in the world, there are exceptions to the rules.” “L-like what?” Zane asks.

Aurora shrugs.

“Well, we all know Silver and Gold wolves are all gifted, right? They receive ONE gift on the day of their shift, but on very rare occasions, a gift is received earlier than expected or later,” she explains.

“I was 18 when I received my earth and healing powers and I had not yet shifted.

On the other hand, my aunt tells me my cousin Salavador first used wolf,” she smiles.

“And of course, every once in a while, Moon Goddess throws in a curve ball.” “What do you mean?” Lask, the little Queen smiling proudly to herself.

“Sometimes, our Goddess has mercy on our pain,” she says quietly.

“I was raised by my uncle Emiliano who had one of the rarest gifts a Silver wolf could ever have: Healing.

It's a gift Moon Goddess bestows only on her purest wolves.” Her voice becomes small and her brave smile trembles a little.

“He was killed 6 years ago.” “lam sorry for your loss,” I say, reaching over to squeeze her hand.

“It’s alright.

I can still feel him sometimes,” the Queen replies with a whisper.

She takes a moment to collect her thoughts before continuing.

“ Anyways, my uncle’s twin sister, Valentina, was attacked and after nearly losing her life, she woke up with my uncle’s gift.” A single tear rolls down her cheek and she quickly wipes it away.

“Silver wolves don’t get second gifts but I like to think this was Moon Goddess’s way of letting my aunt have a little piece of her brother.

In the end, Moon Goddess does as she pleases, so perhaps you are just another exception to the rules.

My family is full of exceptions,” She laughs.

“You could say we are an exceptional Silver wolf clan.” “W-what is your clan na-name?” Zane asks, the Queen puffing out her chest with pride.

“my father was the Alpha of the Altamirano Silver Wolf Clan,” She says proudly.

“My mother was his Queen, and he, her loyal soldier.” “Y-you’re an Alt-Altamirano?” he asks, wide-eyed and amazed.

“I-I thought th-they were extinct?” Silver wolves in my Kingdom are Altamirano wolves,” she adds, Zane’s shock intensifying.

“What’s so special about Altamirano wolves?” I ask, completely lost in the conversation.

“The Silver wolves in my family’s clan were known for their powerful gifts,” Aurora shrugs.

“My father possessed telekinesis.

His father could create storms on a whim.

His father before him could slow down time.

Several of the gifts from my family have never been replicated again, making them one of a kind wolves.” “T-to be an Alt-Altamirano is t-to be like royalty,” Zane further explains.

“M-my father ha-has great respect f-for your clan,” he says timidly.

“I can’t say the same,” Aurora sighs, Zane lowering his head in shame.

“ I have great respect for you, though, Zane.

Perhaps you can start a new clan with Talia once we figure out what she and Kota are.” My wolf purrs ecstatically, pleased with the idea and even I cannot deny the butterflies that flutter in my belly, nor the heat that flushes my cheeks at the thought of starting a clan with my mate.
