The Silent Alpha (Natalia)

Chapter 37: Touch
***Zanet**

“I thought I was going crazy,”

Talia whimpers as her memories fade away, both of us opening our eyes.

“I even went to the pack psychiatrist to get help,” she begins to sob.

“I was suffocating inside but I couldn’t let myself crumble under the pressure. I tried so hard to be the perfect Luna because everyone was counting on me,” She sighs, shaking her head in disbelief.

“But it was all for nothing.In the end, I didn’t matter to anyone, not to my pack, not to my mate, not to my gamma, and most definitely not to my own sister!”

She pauses for a moment to collect her thoughts, holding her head in her hands.

When I attempt to comfort her by wrapping my arms around her, she flinches, raising her head back up to wipe her tears.

“I didn’t matter to the people I most cared about,” she mumbles.

“And I was an i***t to believe I ever would.”

You matter to me_, I want to say, resting my chin on her shoulder and holding her tightly.

“It’s okay,” she sighs.

“I’m definitely done trying to live up to other people’s expectations,” she adds.

“So before we go any further, we need to discuss some things first.” She says, turning her head to face me.

“I know heirs are important to wolves, especially to Alphas and I’ve proven to not be the most fertile away now.I struggled so much for Kota and I definitely don’t need to be treated like a disappointment for being unable to get pregnant right away.I’m not a breeding w***e, understand?”

I don’t even flinch, nodding my head adamantly at her.

Pups have never even crossed my mind, my only concern thus far being that I be good enough for her.

“Good,” She sighs in relief.

“I am also not interested in being y= anyone’s Luna or having any more gammas for that matter, so if I you have a pack you plan to take over, find another Luna to take my place.I’m not slaving away for people who will only turn their backs on me when I need them most.”

I chuckle softly to myself and squeeze her tightly, wondering what pack on earth would possibly want me as it’s Alpha? Nodding that I understand her concern, she proceeds with her next condition.

“One more thing, Zane, and this is non-negotiable,” She adds quietly, biting her lower lip nervously.

My heart beats loudly in my chest as I lean forward to listen to N closely.She takes a deep breath and looks at her hands resting on her lap.

“No marking.” My heart sinks to the pit of my stomach, Grayson going into a fit of rage.

No marking? He scoffs.

How the hell is the world supposed to know that we belong to each other if she does not bear our mark? Perhaps she is ashamed of having me for a mate? I wonder, dread washing over me.

Seeing the look of worry on my face, she hurries to explain.

“I’m not ashamed to bear your mark.I-I just don’t see the point.I wore a mark proudly for years like an i***t, meanwhile my mate dishonored our bond with my sister to the knowledge of everyone in my pack,” she adds quickly.

“It means nothing to be marked if your mate can still degrade the bond with ease.Humans don’t mark each other and it’s never hindered our relationships.We are free to love and date whoever we please without having to tie our souls together and I’d prefer to keep it that way.”

I’m sorry, what part of my tail and snout remotely resemble a human to you, lady? Grayson sneers.I do not date, I mate…

FOR LIFE!!!!!

“Besides,” she smiles timidly.

“What’s to stop you from finding someone else who makes you happier than I ever could? Or better yet, someone who can give you a pu-”

I don’t give her a chance to speak anymore nonsense, cupping her cheeks and pressing my lips against hers.

At first, she doesn’t move, her eyes wide open as she stares back at mein shock.

Gathering up the last of my courage, I move my lips a little until she slowly melts against me and deepens the kiss, parting her lips so that our tongues meet for a tender dance.

The moment they touch, the world fades away completely until we are all that I lower her body against the bed and lay between her legs, our lips never parting as we mold ourselves to each other.

My lungs begin to burn, however, and I reluctantly pull away, my eyes studying the beautiful woman staring up at me with tears in her eyes.

For the first time in my life, I feel the need to speak, the words tearing at my throat to break free from their prison.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly open my mouth, a small groan escaping my lips.

“y-y…Y-y-” I gasp, Talia looking up at me with patient eyes.
