The Silent Alpha (Natalia)

Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Turmoil II

***Zane***

After declaring that I would fight alongside Ravenstone and translating the events to Agnes, she, Rionna, and Talia do their best to convince me otherwise, but I hear none of it.

Scarlett Haven has already taken so much from me and it appears they are not yet done taking from me.But no more.This war ends now.

Despite their best efforts, no one is able to convince me out of my decision, Queen Aurora calling for a recess and asking us all to go home and rest before making any more decisions.

Rionna asks for a room separate from Toran in the pack house and storms off but not before asking to see me again in the morning for breakfast.

“I…”

I stammer, looking over at Agnes, who appears uncomfortable with my mother’s presence.

“Just breakfast…” Rionna smiles meekly.

“Please…I have so many questions…So many things I don’t know about you or myself…I just…I just want to know who I was and who you are…I nod silently, Rionna sighing with relief and stepping in for a hug, but I flinch away from her involuntarily.I feel bad almost instantly, but she seems to understand my reaction.We are strangers after all and she doesn’t know who I am “

“I look forward to breakfast…” She murmurs.

” Goodnight.”

An omega comes to collect her and I watch her walk away, unable to believe she is actually still alive…still here after all these years.

With the meeting over, we collect Kota who is fast asleep with Evan, both of them snoring away in the middle of the floor surrounded by toy trucks.

Talia is silent as we walk back to the guest house, carefully holding Dakota’s head against her shoulder as he sleeps.

She ignores me when I try to hold her hand, anger radiating off of her as she picks up her pace and walks ahead of me.

Agnes can’t even look at me, staring ahead and pretending I don’t exist.I can hardly understand my own emotions at the moment, but Agnes and Talia’s silent treatments are not helping me sort them out any faster.

After claiming Kota…How could you leave him like that?” she cries. “Tell me! Tell me how?” I swallow the lump in my throat, trying to form the words in my head but nothing spilling out of my mouth. “I trusted you…” She whines, wiping her tears aggressively. “I trusted you with my heart.With Kota’s heart.What am I supposed to tell him now?” She cries. “What am I supposed to say? That you’re just leaving us for some war we have nothing to do with? That there’s a chance you might never come back? What am I supposed to do!” She shrieks. “You are supposed to be his Dad.That is what you made me believe.How can you just leave him? He won’t understand it, Zane.He won’t understand why one minute he has a Dad and then the next minute, he doesn’t!” She weeps into her hands, her shoulders shaking violently with every sob. I try to pull her into my arms and comfort her but she just swats away my hands. “Don’t touch me! Don’t you dare touch me!” she shrieks, pushing me away. But I know my touch is the only thing that’s going to calm her down right now so I grab her wrists to prevent her from pushing me away again. “Zane, don’t you f*****g touch me!” She screams, thrashing I cup both of her cheeks, pressing my lips against hers to soothe her anger.
