The Silent Alpha

*** Agnes***

All around me, I feel the vibrations of music rumbling through the ground and the smiles in all directions make my heart full.I am so proud that Zane is finally seeing his self worth and getting the happily ever after he so rightly deserves.

Talia has been a tremendous gift for him and I cannot be more grateful to her for guiding him out of the darkness.I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder and turn to find Nix waving back at me.

As it turns out, I was not the only deaf wolf to come from Ravenstone and over the last few months, she has become a dear friend to me.

She is a young girl, about 18 years of age, with high cheekbones, pale freckled skin and a beautiful oval face.

Tonight, her long dark hair is braided to one side, and she wears a dark blue dress that hugs her figure well.

"You look beautiful, Agnes," she signs, my heart warming when she uses my sign name.,.

Sign names can only be created and assigned by other members of the Deaf community and having grown up without another friend in the collective, I never had the opportunity to earn one.

Nix spent many weeks thinking of a sign for me and, after giving it some thought, she settled ona simple sign; an A and aG over the heart.It was an incredibly beautiful experience to share my name with Zane, and he was overjoyed to know I found a friend to connect with.

With his now busy schedule, it's hard to find time for the two of us to just have a coffee or a day to chat, and I knew he was feeling guilty about living his own life with his family.I thank Moon Goddess every day I had such a caring boy for as long as I did.

"I see you brought your butterfly to the wedding," Nix teases, pointing at the colorful butterfly fluttering in my hair.

After all these months, I still had the little butterfly Salvador made for me, and it has been my most loyal companion now that I am alone.

Zane tried to offer a room for me in his Alpha home, but I asked to have my own space in a small apartment so he can focus on his growing family.

Kota loves to visit me frequently, doing his best to learn more signs and always wanting to play with me.

He’s a little gem of a boy and I have no doubt he will make a wonderful Alpha when he grows up.

"It’s my date tonight," I smile, putting two fingers to my head for the butterfly to sit on before bringing my hand in front of me to watch the butterfly crawl along my fingers.

It likes to sit in my hair most days and always follows me.

Well, almost always, I think to myself as I remember one other person the butterfly likes to follow.

Suddenly, the butterfly flies away, a warm tingle shivering down my spine as a familiar scent fills my nostrils.

I turn around to find Tylen standing behind me, the butterfly perched on his head as he stands perfectly still.I have been avoiding Tylen at all costs since his return from war, dodging his advances and forbidding him from ever visiting my home.

Luckily for me, he has been respectful of my last rule, never showing up at my apartment, though I suspect he stays close by to watch over me.

"There’s a butterfly on my head," he signs, a bit confused and frightened by the little creature.

It’s amusing to see such a big strong alpha male afraid of a tiny butterfly and I do my best to hide my giggle as I rise to my feet.
