The Silent Alpha (Natalia)

Chapter 16: The Earth Witch Part 2

***Natalia ***

“Absolutely not,” I shake my head at Gwen as she explains her idea.

“There is no way in hell I’m moving to some pack in California with Kota.It’s out of the question.No f*****g way!”

She steps forward and grabs my hand.

“Talia-”

“I said no, Guinevere!” I snap, pulling my hand from her grasp.

“You of all people know what those monsters have done to me! You can’t ask me to trust another pack with the safety of my son!”

“I give you my word, Queen Aurora will protect you and your pup with her life,” the wolf beside Gwen says, his eyes burning with indignation.

“Your word means nothing to me, wolf,” I spit back, my body trembling with anger at having yet another wolf in my home.

Couldn’t they just leave me alone?

“Salvador, please stay out of this,” Gwen sighs before looking at me with a scowl.

“You can’t ask this of me,” I shake my head.

“You know why I can’t.”

“I would not ask this of you if it were not urgent” Gwen says.

“If it’s so urgent,”

I snap, “Then explain to me what the danger Gwen balls her hands in a fist and stomps her foot on the ground.”

“For Goddess’s sake, Natalia! Would you just listen to me?! I’m trying to save Kota’s life! I can’t tell you why you need to run, you just need to trust me! Don’t trust the wolves, trust me, the woman who has never failed you!”

Zane snarls at the mention of Kota in danger and I force myself to ignore the butterflies in my belly and glare at my witch friend.

“Who is after my baby?”

Her face turns grey and she shakes her head.

“They will hurt him if I tell you…”

I cup her face in my cheeks and plead with her.

“Who is after my baby?”

She stares at me for a moment before she takes my hand and pulls me down the hall into my bedroom, locking the door behind her.She mutters a spell under her breath, the room filling with an uneasy silence.

For a long time, she says nothing, wringing her hands nervously and wiping the beads of sweat clinging to her forehead.

“I can’t tell you the specific details,” she whispers after a long silence.

“But I have a job to do and if I don’t complete it, they’ll kill Kota.”

The blood drains from my face and it feels like the world is collapsing around me.

“Who will?”

I cry, rushing up to her and grabbing her by the collar of her shirt.

“Tell me who!”

“I’m sorry, Talia, but to protect that little boy, I can’t tell you who,” She sobs.

It feels like the wind has been knocked out of me.

Will Kota and! ever be able to live in peace? “I’m so, so sorry, Talia.I truly am.I never meant to put your baby in danger,”

She weeps, the guilt in her eyes immeasurable.

“I don’t know how they found me…but I swear to you when this is all over, I will never come back into your life.I’ll disappear and I’ll-”

She bursts into tears of shame, her words slurred from the guilt in her heart.

“You shut the hell up, you stupid British w***e!”

I snap, pulling her into my arms and holding her to my chest.

Gwen gasps as I stroke her hair gently and kiss her gently on the temple.

“You are the only person I’m not okay with leaving my life,” I say through my own tears.

“We’re in this s**t together, remember? A witch and a b***h, that’s what we are.”

She giggles as she wipes her eyes.

“A witch and a bitch.”

“Always, I murmur back, squeezing her tightly.

“I swear to you, Talia, I will do everything in my power to complete my task.No one is hurting your baby,” She says as she pulls away from my arms.

“But I need you to go to this pack just in case I fail.Queen Aurora will protect you with her life.I swear to it.” I bite my lip anxiously, hating the idea of putting my life back

“Please Talia.I can’t do my job if I’m constantly worrying about you and Kota,” she pleads.

I take a deep breath.

“Are you sure you can trust this pack?” I ask, doubt swallowing my every thought.

“I promise, The lvory Phoenix kingdom is nothing like Silver Crest.They are good wolves,” she nods reassuringly.

“There is no such thing as good wolves,” I reply.
