The Silent Alpha

Chapter 91: A Fair Trade 

***Zane*** 

King Author glares at me as Talia and I take our seats at the table, neither one of us bowing before him.

"So you are the child Sebastian kept a secret all these years," the King says in a low voice.

"The true heir to the Scarlett Haven Alpha title."

I do not feel the need to give an answer and remain silent, much to the King’s annoyance.

Luna Sara’s eyes bore into me with seething rage while her brother, Alpha Richard, looks at me with bemusement.

"Well, considering you called this meeting, I presume it wasn't to waste my time," the King snarls.

"You've killed your father according to witnesses, which means by law, Scarlett Haven now belongs to you.I’m glad to hear the rightful heir has taken over," he says, Luna Sara clenching her jaw at the King’s comment.

"I’ve brought the Elders so you can take your oath-"

"That won’t be necessary," Toran interjects.

"Alpha Zane”

 "Did I say you could speak, mutt!?"

The King growls, Toran’s face calm and unfazed.I'll have to remember to ask him how he manages such composure at all times.

"I did not come all this way to listen to you spew your filth!" the King snaps as he turns back to me.

"Now, boy.The Oath is quite simple.As Alpha of Scarlett Haven, you will swear allegiance to the Kingdom of Crescent Mane and take over your father’s debt to Onyx Stone.They require an heir and it will be your responsibility to produce one with one of their wolves.Alpha Richard has made a selection of eligible brides for you to choose from."

I steal a glance at my mate, who is doing her best to hold back her laughter, though the look in her eyes is anything but amused.

"It’s alright," I murmur as I open a connection between us.

Noticing the tremor of rage rippling through her, I place my hand on her knee and caress it with my thumb to calm her down.

"I belong only to you."

"l see that you are marked and mated," the King continues.

"No offense to the lady, but that simply won’t do.You will have to take back your mark and reject her before you take the oath."

Grayson bursts into a murderous chuckle, and even I cannot help but laugh.

Just who the hell does this man think he isi?

 "Is something funny?"

The King asks, his teeth gnashing together as he glares menacingly at me.I notice a little smirk of pride on Toran’s face, and it's enough to give me confidence in my voice.

"Very," I reply, attempting to make my voice strong and confident like Toran and I practiced.

"I-It seems y-you’re under the impression that I-I take orders from y-you."

Luna Sara suddenly bursts into laughter at the sound of my voice, her whole body shaking with each cackle.

"Oh, how delicious! He has a stutter!" she squeals with excitement.

"So that’s why Sebastian hid you all these years!" she laughs.

"He was ashamed to have ason like you! Oh, goddess! I can’t believe it! This is the new Alpha of Scarlett Haven? A stutterer?"

She claps like a seal, laughing hysterically to herself.

Surprisingly, I do not mind her hurtful words and I am able to maintain my cool despite her ridicule.

Talia, on the other hand, is seething, her fists clenching and unclenching at her sides.I can almost smell the rage pulsating through her, and I place my hand over her fist, curling my fingers around her small hand.

"It’s okay,Talia," I murmur through our connection, but it seems my words do little to soothe her.

Slamming her fist on the table, a black mist spreads from her hand, growing darker as it condenses into what appears to be a large black vine with thorns.

Gasps erupt across the room as the vine slithers over the table and wraps around Luna Sara like a cobra around its prey, squeezing her tightly until she’s almost blue in the face.

King Arthur and Alpha Richard are on their feet instantly, staring in fright at the black vine as it pulls Luna Sara out of her chair and towards Talia.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?!" the King snarls, the room becoming humid as he activates his power.

"Let her go!" he demands, a white mist forming at his fingertips.

Talia ignores the King, rising from her chair and bringing Luna Sara close enough so that they are at eye level.

"Such pretty eyes you have," Talia whispers, her voice calm yet dangerous.

"Would be a shame if someone were to pluck them from that pretty little head of yours," my mate smiles innocently.

Luna Sara’s eyes widen in shock as a two-pronged spear aimed at her eyes grows from the vine and she opens her mouth to scream, only to be silenced by a vine that covers her mouth.

King commands in his royal voice, flicking his wrist towards Talia
