The Silent Alpha

Chapter 84: Former Lunas 

***Natalia*** 

"Hello Natalia," a familiar voice whispers timidly.

Gathering my bearings, I realize I’ve run right into Vanessa and knocked her over, a sheepish smile on her face as I help her to her feet.

"Where is Kota?" I ask, looking around the living room in search of my son.

"Here lam, Mommy!"

Kota squeals with his arms raised in the air, peering from the balcony of the stairs.My heart skips a beat when I see his beautiful eyes looking back at me and I rush up the steps to hold him.

"Mommy!" Kota cries, wrapping his arms around my neck in a tight embrace.

"Kota!" I sob into his hair, rocking him from side to side in my arms and showering him with kisses.

"Oh, my beautiful little bean! My sweet frijolito! ’'m here.Mommy’s here and I’m never letting you go," I weep, unable to contain my joy of holding him in my arms again.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I ask, pulling away to inspect his beautiful face.

"My butt hurts," he shakes his head at me, pointing to his legs and his butt.

He wears a little pajama set and I pull back his bottoms to check his wounds.

"Quiche," I gasp, Kota nodding in agreement. I gently pat his butt, murmuring the age old Spanish chant to heal all wounds.

"Sana.Sana.Colita de rana.Hechate un pedo para ti y para tu hermana.{Heal, heal, little frog tail.Fart for you and your sister}."

[AIN: It actually makes no sense but it’s a Spanish rhyme with a twist for whenever a child gets hurt to make them feel better.] Kota bursts into laughter and a tiny stench reaches my nostrils.

"Did you fart?" I ask as he plays with his fingers.

"Yeah," he giggles, the sound breathing life into me.He's okay.My baby is okay.

"You still use that?" Vanessa chuckles softly.

"I remember mom used to say that all the time to us to get us to stop crying." I grab Kota and turn to look at my older sister, taking in her appearance.

She’s showered since I last saw her on the phone but there is still a little bruising on her face and neck.She shifts uncomfortably on her feet, and her eyes keep flickering around in search of danger.

Vanessa and I may be at odds, but I have never wished her any ill, even if she does deserve it.She has a wolf Devina whispers.It's small but I can sense it.

There’s a wall between them.

"You have a wolf,’ Vanessa whispers, a little flicker of delight in her eyes.

"And you’re marked!" she adds with a soft smile.

"Th-that’s great. I’m so happy you moved on!"

An awkward silence forms between us as she musters up the courage to keep speaking.

However, have nothing much to say to her.

"You have a very beautiful son," she says quietly.

"Very beautiful."

"Thanks," I reply after clearing my throat.

"Thank you for ...taking care of him."

"Mommy, can we take Nanessa home with us?" Kota asks, Vanessa smiling at the little boy, though the light never reaches her eyes.

"She’s my friend." She already knows my answer.

"l’m sorry Kota," I whisper, Vanessa’s smile faltering slightly.

"But your friend has her own path to take. Right, Nanessa?"

I feel heartless, but I had given Vanessa a home once and she betrayed me.I will not make the same mistake twice, even if she did protect my pup.

"Right," she answers quietly before forcing her voice to be high and happy.

"But it’s okay, Kota.Maybe one day, you can come visit me and we can have pillow fights."

"Or you can come visit us!" Kota cries with excitement.

"You can meet my Daddy!"
