The Silent Alpha

***Zane*** 

"Hello Zane," Gamma Wyatt says softly, my stomach churning with fear in his presence.

How did he find me? I wonder, blinking hard to make sure I am not dreaming.That is the least of our worries, Grayson mutters.What the f**k is that shit-stain of a brother doing here? 

"Him?" Caine snaps questioningly at Wyatt, his eyes narrowing to slits.

"That mute rapist mutt is my brother? He’s the Almighty silver wolf the King wants?" Several thoughts fill my head but the loudest one makes me squeeze Talia’s hand in a pleading manner.

Would she believe the rape accusation Caine just tossed my way? I think to myself, wondering how I would explain to her that Sara lied.My eyes fixate on my mate, her face neutral and unbothered by his accusation.

Without saying a word, she gives my hand two squeezes, her thumb gently rubbing against my knuckles.

Following her gaze, I realize she is looking at Queen Aurora, likely speaking to her telepathically.

Whatever Aurora is saying seems to keep Talia calm and composed.

"I should have killed you while I had the chance for what you. Why are you just standing there? Do your damn job and kill him! Kill him for touching your Luna!"

Wyatt does not even bother to look at his future Alpha, his eyes focusing on Talia’s hand still holding mine.A look of pain flickers in his eyes.

Did he pity Talia for being stuck with me? Ignoring my brother, Wyatt clears his throat and looks me in the eyes.

"You have a mate?" Wyatt asks, though it is more of a statement than a question.

I nod silently, a hint of a smile curling on his lips as he eyes my mate.

"She’s beautiful..." he murmurs, Talia remaining silent but her cheeks getting a pinkish hue to them.

"Hi, I am Wyatt.I’m the Gamma of the Scarlet Haven Pack, Zane’s pack," Wyatt explains, holding out his hand to shake hers.

Talia only smiles politely at him, though, the smile on her face not reaching her eyes.

"You mean former pack," Aurora corrects him, rising to her feet.

Although she is a head shorter than Wyatt, her power ripples off of her like heat waves, everyone in the room feeling its intensity.

"Zane no longer belongs to the Scarlett Haven pack.Your Alpha made sure of that," she says in a low growl.

"I still don’t understand what game you are trying to play here but Zane is under no obligation to return to his former pack and this," she adds, holding up a sheet of paper.

"This means nothing to me.

"Well I can’t imagine such big words meaning anything to you," Caine scoffs, Evan’s calm demeanor evaporating upon hearing the insult made against his Luna.

Aurora, however, remains calm and poised.

"So why don’t you let the adults talk, pipsqueak while you go take a nap? We'll speak to your Alpha-"

He does not get another word in before he starts choking on his words, his hands clawing at his throat as his face becomes flushed.

Caine’s knees buckle and he crashes on the floor while gasping for air, Wyatt and Korbin staring at him in shock..

"Sounds like you’re choking on those big words, Alpha" Evans snickers, a pleased grin on his face.

"Maybe you should leave the big words to the adults."

Aurora shakes her head disapprovingly at Evan who only shrugs innocently at her and she releases Caine from her telekinetic grip, Caine gasping frantically to fill his lungs with air.

Caine stares wide-eyed at Aurora, the Queen paying him no mind and returning to her seat.

"Evan, please escort Caine and Korbin downstairs to wait with the other guards," Aurora instructs.

"I think Gamma Wyatt has a lot to discuss with Zane."

"You can’t kick me out," Caine scoffs, his hands forming into fists at his sides.

"LEAVE,"

Aurora says in her royal voice, Caine abruptly standing up and walking past me towards the door, a look of like a fool and walks towards the exit.
