The Silent Alpha

***Natalia*** 

It takes every ounce of strength I have to hold myself back from proclaiming my mate, but now is not the time to be proud.I have to buy Rionna and Vanessa time to get my Kota out of here safely.

"Who.Marked.You!?"

Jack snarls again, his hand wrapping around my throat as he invades my space.It does not escape me that I feel no sparks when he touches me, relief washing over me that there is not a chance in the world Jack and I will ever be bonded again.

Jordan instinctively growls at Jack for touching me, but I lightly kick him to back off so he can execute my plan.

The look of pure rage in Jack's eyes reminds of the night he rejected me all those years ago, but this time, I will be in complete control.I gently place my hands around Jack’s arm and lightly tug at his hand.

Forcing tears to my eyes, I put my plan into action.

"Jack," I gasp when he squeezes my throat.

"Jack, my love, please! Please, let me explain!"

"What are you going to explain?" he snarls back.

"That you were whoring around while I waited for you?" I almost laugh in his face but manage to keep my composure.

This f*****g prick...

Devina growls.

"No! No!" I sob back.

"No, I would never! I-l was marked by force by a wolf who took me."

"You expect me to believe your bullshit lies!?" he growls.

"Kota told me all about his new daddy."

Goddess, I love my little boy but why is he so damn stubborn! I snap.

Gee, ! wonder who he gets it from? Devina snorts.

"I-It’s not a lie!" I wheeze, struggling to get air into my lungs as he crushes my windpipe.

"I-I love you, Jack.I-l was just hurt by what Christian did to me so I left.I didn’t think you loved me anymore,"

I cry.

"I ran into some wolves not too long ago and their Alpha became obsessed with me! He made me believe he loved me but he didn’t.Not like you.He hurt me, Jack! He forced his mark on me! But I know in my heart, I belong only to you.I turned so I could get rid of his mark,"

I sob.

"But it didn’t work! It didn’t work and I was so disgusted with myself that I didn’t want you to see me because the honor of marking and turning me belongs only to you.I’m sorry Jack! I’m so sorry for being so weak.I just love you so much and I was afraid you wouldn’t take me back if you saw what I became."

"You love me?" He asks with a softness in his voice.

Got him...

"Yes,"

Inod.

"Of course I do," I whisper, pushing against his hand to lean in closer for a kiss.

"Can you forgive me, Jack?" I ask, standing on the tips of my toes so that my lips graze against his when I speak.

"Please," I beg.

"I just want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Something flickers in his eyes but before I can decipher what he thinks or feels of my story, he loosens his grip on my throat and pulls me towards him, pressing our lips together in a hot, wet kiss.

Jack tastes of vinegar and salt, nothing like my Zane, whose lips can soothe the turmoil in my soul with just one kiss, and I resist the urge to gag as I wrap my arms around his neck.

Forgive me, Zane, I whisper to myself.

Please forgive me for not claiming you.

Jack swipes his tongue along the seam of my lips and despite Devina’s protests, I part my lips and let him taste me.

Savor me, Jack, I snarl with disgust.

Because it'll be the last kiss you ever have.I pull away breathlessly, blinking my eyes innocently at the wolf still holding my throat hostage in his hand.

"Take me home, Jack," I whisper, Jack nodding in response.

"Take me home." He looks behind me with a gentle smile.

"Where’s our pup?" he asks, my heart nearly skipping a beat as I search for an explanation.

"How did you know to come here? I didn’t mention the cabin." Jordan comes to my rescue.

"I brought her here.Vanessa was furious about the divorce and threatened to hurt Kota unless Natalia backed off so we raced here to meet her but she was already gone by the time we arrived.We were in the middle of searching for clues when you arrived," he explains.

"Is this true?" Jack asks, almost with relief.

"Did Vanessa threaten to hurt our son?"

I can’t bring myself to say yes for fear of what he might do to her if he finds her, but my silence seems to only verify Jordan’s story.

"Don’t protect her, Tiny," Jack snaps.

"She has our pup.Goddess forbid she hurts him!"

He turns to his men and points to the house.

"Search the house! Check the tunnels! Leave no stone unturned and bring me back my son!"

"Plead the team,"

Jordan volunteers, my body relaxing knowing Jordan will keep Christian’s men away from my pup."ll make sure your son is safe, Luna,"
