The Silent Alpha
Chapter 9: Mate: Part 1
***Natalia***
My world is falling apart...
Everything t have built over the last four years is falling apart.
"Mate..." he mouths, his lips curving into a surprised smile.
"No,"
I whimper, backing away slowly as my heart pounds in my chest.
"Not again..." I try to run but my legs refuse to move, Zane’s eyes holding me hostage against the table as he walks towards me.
He raises his hand and I flinch as he gently strokes my cheek, his thumb wiping the tears I didn’t know had fallen.
The sparks...Were they always this strong? I wonder as my body shivers beneath his fingertips.
His smile widens as I lean into his hand and close my eyes to enjoy the tingling of his touch.
Jack...
Christian Hart...
Alpha of the Silver Crest Pack, reject you, Natalia Vasquez as my mate and Luna...
The memory of Jack and Christian's rejection and the pain they had caused me replays in my mind and I jerk away from Zane's hand, afraid to be hurt again.
His eyes fill with bewilderment and sadness as I push him aside and get to my feet, eager to get as far away as possible from him.
My eyes fill with tears as I attempt to storm away "Let go of me, asshole!"
I snarl, yanking at my arm as he just stares at me in shock, his mouth hanging open but no words escaping his luscious lips.
"I said let go!" I snap, giving one last hard yank.
Zane finally let’s go but I collide into the table, spilling the glasses and their contents all over my clothes.
His cheeks flush in embarrassment, butterflies fluttering in my belly at the adorable frantic panic on his face.
Snap out of it, I scold myself, wiping down my wet clothes with my hands.
Before I know it, a pair of strong, muscular arms lift me off my feet and I yelp in surprise when I realize Zane is carrying me bridal style to the employee only area.
"Put me down!" I shriek as we make it to the backrooms, thrashing my body about viciously.
He obliges, setting me down gently on a chair.His body shaking slightly, he takes his right fist and moves it in a clockwise motion over his chest.
"Sorry." I know very little sign language but I understand his apology and scowl at him.
"Apology not accepted, jerk,"
I huff, grabbing him by the wrist and dragging him to one of the changing rooms.
Ensuring it’s completely empty, I turn to Zane and narrow my reasons that infuriate me, I feel the strange urge to comfort him.
"I know what you are," I say through gritted teeth, my fists clenching at my sides at the thought of going through this again.
"I know you’re a wolf...and I don’t want any part of it."
Angry tears spill onto my cheeks but I wipe them away before I proceed.
"I, Talia Ramos, reject you..." I stop mid rejection when I realize I don’t know his full name.
"What is your name?" I ask meekly, his eyes filling with relief.
He clamps his mouth shut and shakes his head once more, inching slowly towards the door.
"What is your name?" I huff, stomping my foot angrily.
"What is your rank?"
His face grows cold as he pinches his index and middle fingers against his thumb.
"No."
"No?"
I scoff.
"What do you mean no? I don't want a mate!"
He shrugs, pinching his fingers together again and turning the knob on the door with his other hand.
Fearing he might escape before I can complete the rejection, I lunge at him, wrapping my arms around his neck and slamming my body against his to block the door.His arms go instinctively to my waist and I begin to thrash my arms at him.
"What is your name?" I shriek, pounding my closed fists against his chest.
"Tell me!"
