The Silent Alpha

***Zane*** 

Fearing the worst, I throw caution out the window and race towards the pack house, Tylen running after me and begging me to rethink this.

I, however, burst through the gates and don’t stop until I reach the crowd, snarling at the wolves to step aside.

Whimpering with fright, the wolves jump out of my way, revealing a black mass of tentacle-like things holding a bleeding man hostage.

I recognize him as Christian, Talia’s ex and I snarl instinctively at him.

There are cuts and bruises all over his body and a mass of torn tissue hangs between his legs.

Jeez, that thing was small, Grayson squints at the mess of flesh.

I think a shrimp would have been bigger.

The sound of a pained growl draws my attention toa man fighting against his own shadow.

His teeth are bared at Christian and he thrashes violently against his invisible restraints until his face and neck are bright red with rage.

"How could you!?"  the man snarls.

"Your own mother, you ungrateful bastard! How could you do this to me? How could you kill her? Answer me, you sick f**k!”

Christian only sobs and shakes his head.

"I needed my mate...." he whimpers.

His reply only seems to enrage the man and Talia scolds him to pipe down.Her melodic voice makes my heart skip a beat as I see her standing beside her sister, the fierceness in her stance making my spine tingle.

"Christian Hart, in front of your entire pack, you have openly admitted to the murder of Luna Kay Hart, the murder of Beta Derek Mitchel, and the murder of countless omegas over the past four years.In accordance with Silver Crest Law, piece by piece, you will lose that which is most precious to you,"

Talia snarls, Grayson howling with pleasure.

I watch in awe as black mist pours from my mate’s chest, forming two black tentacles that pry Christian’s mouth open and snake inside.

The tentacles wrap around each of Christian’s canines and in a swift motion, pull them out as Christian screams.I'm putting a pup in her when we get to the hotel, Grayson purrs, his tail wagging with excitement.

On second thought I'm putting several pups inside her tonight.

She'll need a wheelchair by the time I’m done with her! I can’t even argue with him, unable to take my eyes off our sexy mate as she takes Christian’s Alpha power.

"Without your venom, you are nothing more than a waste of space," Talia sneers.

Grayson’s purring must be incredibly loud because the entire crowd turns to look at us, including our mate.

A small smile curls on her lips when she sees us and her cheeks become flushed as Grayson wags his tail proudly.

Turning on her heel, she slowly approaches us and from the corner of my eye, I see the delicious look of horror on Christian’s face when she murmurs, "Mate," under her breath.

"Natalia!̃"

Christian calls after her in desperation as she wraps her arms around Grayson's neck.

"Tiny, you can’t...I-I’m your mate!̃"

Talia ignores his pleas, cupping Grayson’s face in her hands.

"You came back to me,," she whispers, tears filling her eyes as leans her forehead against his.

"You came back.."

Needing to feel her in my arms, I shift into my human form, my hands wrapping around her waist and pulling her into me.

"I-I  had to,," I whisper in her ear.

"W-we have a we-wedding to plan, remember??"

Talia giggles against my neck, her hot breath making my stomach do somersaults.

In front of everyone, she stands on the tips of her toes, tilts my chin down, and kisses me.

Pain and fear melt away with her lips, my mate claiming me with such confidence before her former pack, her sister, and her ex mate.

"I’m sorry,," She whispers as she pulls away.

"I had to play into Jack’s delusion in order to” 

"I-It’s already forgotten,," I reply, pressing my lips against hers for a second kiss, this one softer and gentler.

Behind her, I hear Christian lose his mind, berating Talia and insulting her for loving me instead of him.

"My father was right.You are a f*****g w***e~” he snarls, Grayson taking control and storming towards the useless wolf.

He wraps my hand around Christian’s throat, Christian gasping for air as he crushes his windpipe.

"Wanna run that by me again!??"

Grayson snarls in a menacing hiss.

Christian only trembles in my hand, the look of fear in his eyes satisfying my wolf.He knows who the true Alpha is, Grayson smirks.

"You don’t get to be angry with me, Jack,,"

Talia snaps as she stands beside me.She places her hand over my own and I slowly release the bastard from my grasp.

"You divorced me.You rejected me.After everything I did for this pack, all of you turned your back on me!̃"

She huffs, her chest rising and falling defiantly as she glares at her former pack.

"I moved on.You should have done that too instead of becoming this monster living inside a fantasy.Own up to what you did, Jack.You killed your own mother, your pack members, your Beta”
