The Silent Alpha

Chapter 86: Silver Crest 

**"Vanessat*"

The adrenaline pumping through my veins numbs the burning of my leg as we rush down the tunnel and I use the cold walls as support to limp onwards.

"You're doing great," Rionna whispers.

"We’re almost out of here."

I can’t tell if she’s trying to soothe me, Kota, or herself, but regardless, I find comfort in her words.We speed walk down the tunnels for what seems like an eternity until finally we see a bit of light peeking in from a distance.

"Dear Goddess," Rionna sighs in relief as she throws my arm over her shoulder.

"Come on, let’s get you out of here." She lets me lean against her and helps me limp my way through until we reach the end of the tunnel.

As Jordan promised, the exit is hidden within an old hollow tree and after climbing out, we find ourselves somewhere in the forest.Though it is late in the evening, the sun is only just setting, the light burning our eyes as we gather our bearings..

"Do you know where we are?" Rionna asks as she shields her eyes from the sun.

I look around with uncertainty and a bit of guilt.Luna Kay had been adamant I memorize the map of the territory but I had never paid much attention to her lessons.

"I don’t know," I mumble sheepishly.

"This doesn't look like the Silver Crest pack territory anymore."

"We'll figure something out. Come on," she says, setting Kota down.

"Let's see how that leg is doing." It's only then that I notice the bites and claw marks on her shoulders and chest.

"You're hurt too!"

I gasp, feeling guilty that she helped me while she was hurt too.She waves me off however and finds a large stone for me to sit on.

With a little effort, she manages to tear open my pant leg to reveal an already healing bite wound on my ankle.

"Uh-oh! That's a big ouchie!"

Kota cries as he peers over Rionna’s shoulder.

"Does it hurt?"

I shake my head, though I still wince when Rionna ties a strip of my jeans around my ankle.

"It looks like your wolf is healing the wound quite nicely," Rionna says, helping me to my feet.

"I take it you are a Silver wolf?"I stare blankly at her.

"A Silver wolf?"

"I guess not," she laughs awkwardly.

"They are wolves with special abilities.Gifts granted by Moon Goddess.I had a Silver wolf once but I lost mine."

"You lost your wolf?" I ask.

"It's complicated," Rionna replies.

"But I am still a wolf, just without a gift.You, however, appear to have a very interesting gift," she adds curiously.

"The shadows. They followed your command didn’t they?"

We are not a Silver wolf, a voice whispers in my head, startling me.

"What’s wrong?" Rionna asks.

You did, the voice chuckles.

"There it is again!" I cry out, grabbing either side of my head.

Rionna studies me carefully before bursting into laughter, Kota laughing with her, though I don’t think he knows what the joke is.

"You must be hearing your wolf." She giggles.

"Has she never spoken to you before?" She smiles when I shake my head.

"Well, why don’t you start with an introduction? Maybe she knows what you are."

Before I have time to think, however, we hear rustling in the trees behind us and I instinctively push Kota behind me, the shadows around us gathering into little tendrils ready to attack.Aman and young she-wolf step out from the trees and Rionna visibly relaxes, Kota running up to the man for a hug.

"Micah!" he squeals.

"Little dude!" the man named Micah replies as he crouches down on his knees to pick Kota up.

"Little dude, you had us worried sick!" he scolds the little boy.

"You just disappeared on us!"

"Boo!"

Kota shouts, the man laughing with the child.

Micah finally notices us and immediately removes his t-shirt and hands it over to Rionna, turning around to give her privacy as she dresses.
