The Silent Alpha
Chapter 28: Date 3
***Zane***
"You can use my phone if that helps,"
Talia suggests, pulling out her phone from her pocket and unlocking it for me.
Beads of sweat gather at my temple as I stare blankly at the Notepad app.
She's not asking for much, Grayson mutters.
Did you miss the part where she’s been married to a perfect Alpha? I snap at him.
What do you think will go through her head when she realizes she’s mated to a freak? You are being dramatic, Grayson groans.
He wasn’t THAT perfect.
He cheated on her! WITH HER SISTER! That's not the point! The point is my own father refused to recognize meas his son! \retort.
When Talia realizes how truly worthless I am, she'll reject me like everyone else has.
Do you not trust our mate will treat us fairly? Grayson asks.
I look up at my mate, her smile faltering with my everlasting silence.
She deserves the truth...
Grayson sighs.
And so do we.
We won't know how she truly feels about us if all we show her is a lie.
But...Anything.
The phone trembles in my hand, my fingers unwilling to type out a message.
Minutes crawl by before Talia finally loses her patience.
"Okay, I think this date is over,"
Talia laughs dryly, my heart sinking as a few tears cling to her eyes.
She wipes at them angrily and starts to get up, disappointed by my lack of response.
"I honestly don’t even know what I was expecting," she mutters, shaking her head at herself.
"This was such a f*****g mistake and I can’t even be mad at you because I did this to myself," she huffs, rolling her eyes.
"I should have just kept my mouth shut."
She presses the palms of her hands against her eyes to stop the tears from flowing down her cheeks.
"Please take me home," she whimpers.
"I don’t want to be here anymore."
My mind goes into a panic when I hear the hurt in her voice.I open my mouth to explain but it feels as though the wind has been knocked out of me and all that comes out is a gasp.
Come on! I snap at myself.
Say something! But the harder I try to utter a word, the drier my mouth feels and the heavier my tongue becomes.
All the memories of my father screaming at me to speak come flooding back and the words get caught in my throat, unable to escape.
She deserves the truth, I remind myself, taking a few deep breaths and rising to my feet shoulders and turn her towards me, embracing her in my arms.
I try to hold her to my chest but Talia only shakes her head in anger at me.
"No," she cries.
"You don’t get to just hug this all away.I told you my story.I shared my pain with you," she hiccups.
"Why can’t you do the same for me?"
Knowing she is right, I urge her to sit back down, patting the space beside me as my eyes plead with her to sit.
Reluctantly, she settles down, hugging her knees to her chest.
Her brown eyes watch me carefully, scrutinizing my every move.
I pull the phone from my pocket and after she unlocks it, I type out my plan.
"I can’t tell you my story, but I can show you," She reads aloud.
"Close your eyes."
She gives me a confused look but I just smile and place my hand over my own eyes to show her what I need from her.
Very hesitantly, she places both hands over her eyes, sighing deeply in annoyance.
Taking a deep breath, I close my own eyes and concentrate, letting down my walls and accepting the river of thoughts coming from my mate.
"This is silly," her voice echoes in my head.
"Shhh,"
I whisper, Talia suddenly jumping up and looking around frantically.
