The Alpha's Mute Mate Chapter 22
I could feel the air shift as soon as Luca walked into the room. He had that calm, reassuring presence that always seemed to settle my nerves. We had spent so much time together in the past weeks, and I was beginning to understand him better—his gentle patience, his unwavering support. In his presence, I felt like I could breathe again, like there was hope in a world that had stolen so much from me.As I sat down on the chair, trying to get comfortable, I noticed Killian standing by the door, watching us intently. His eyes were darker today, his jaw tight. I couldn’t figure out why, but there was something different about him. Something subtle that made the air feel heavier than usual.“Ready to continue?” Luca asked, pulling me back to the moment. He smiled warmly, and I nodded. My lessons with Luca had become a kind of sanctuary for me. I was learning to communicate, to express myself, even though the words never came as easily as I wished.Killian remained silent by the door, his p

I had barely finished my lesson with Luca when the day took an unexpected turn. We had just gone over a few more signs, and I could tell Luca was getting impatient with me, though not in a bad way. He just wanted me to progress faster, to understand more. But no matter how hard I tried, the words and signs seemed to slip through my fingers.Luca noticed my frustration and placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re doing well,” he reassured me, his voice gentle, though it carried a hint of concern. “Just take it easy. You’ll get there.”I nodded, grateful for his patience. But before I could say anything, the door to the room swung open with a loud thud, and my heart skipped a beat. I didn’t have to turn to know who it was.Killian’s presence filled the room like a storm. He didn’t speak right away, but his eyes were sharp, watching us both. The tension in the air grew thick, and I immediately felt the shift.“Luca,” Killian’s voice was calm, but there was an edge to it that made my stomach

The morning started like every other day in the pack house.But the only difference was that Elara came to check on me with that usual bright smile she carried around.I was surprised she came, it was a great pleasure she did come over to my room to see how I am fairing. That was unlike any other Beta wolf I knew of. I didn’t speak much to her, but she always found ways to talk around my silence. Sometimes, I found comfort in her words. They filled the emptiness I couldn’t describe.Killian had tried to speak to me again today after Elara left the room. He was gentle. His deep voice is softer than usual. But I still struggled to say much to him, maybe because I am yet to master my signs or I wasn't just ready to speak. Could I say my wolf isn't ready to awake? I didn’t know why. Maybe it was my fear. Or maybe I still didn’t know how to speak around him or learn how to communicate in a way he would understand. He was my Alpha now… and something more than that. Something confusing to

Killian’s POVI stood at the edge of the packhouse balcony, the wind tugging at my sleeves, while my gaze was fixed on the grounds below. The sun hung low, bathing everything in a golden hue for me. From up here, it all looked peaceful—like it was a perfect illusion.But I wasn’t fooled by it.Down there, Selene stood beneath the tree with Luca beside her, the two of them exchanging words in their own quiet rhythm and demonstration. She smiled at him—softly, shyly—and the sight of it hit me like a punch to the gut.I clenched the iron railing which was standing by my side.I should have been happy to see she was relating with someone in the pack. I should have felt relieved that she was making progress in communicating, that she was finally beginning to communicate. That she trusted someone enough to let her guard down. Hell, I was the one who brought Luca here to help her. I assigned him. I approved of his methods. And he was good at what he did.Too good that she was coming out of

The day felt longer than usual for me.I kept my head down as we walked back from the training field. My muscles ached from the drills, and my thoughts buzzed with Killian’s piercing eyes. Every time he looked at me, I felt the weight of something unspoken—something neither of us dared to name.He has asked me to go train with him today in the woods. I couldn't say no to him because I wanted to feel how the training would go.And also to be strong, maybe I had become so fragile and frightened but now I want to be strong, to be able to defend myself whenever I am attacked by someone.He hadn’t said much since yesterday except for asking me to come along with him. But his silence was loud enough for me to understand.I caught glimpses of him watching me when Luca spoke to me during our sessions.Killian didn’t interrupt us, but I felt it in his stare and the way he stood even though he tried hiding it. The tension in him. The shift in the air. The quiet possessiveness that lingered like

I traced the curtain’s fabric with my fingers, the same way I’d been tracing the tangled threads of my heart for days. The light outside the window was golden and warm, but it did nothing to melt the frost growing inside me.Luca's voice echoed in my mind—his voice was soft, calm, steady each time he speaks. He never rushed me. Never demanded I learn faster. He simply was a constant presence in the quiet moments I couldn’t share with anyone else. With him, there was no pressure to speak, no weighty expectations. Just patience. Gentle eyes. The language of hands and glances that left out a big smile on my face. The type of smile I had never had for years. Ever. Not after I had been abused by Sebastian. The only one who had tried giving me that smile again was Killian.He made me feel seen, not because I was broken or marked by fate, but simply because I was me.But even that comfort felt like betrayal now.Because when Killian entered the room, the air changed. My breath caught. My ski

I felt it before I saw it—the shift in energy. Like something dark had passed through the walls of the pack house. I was sitting in the sunroom, staring out at the trees swaying in the breeze, trying to calm the thoughts in my head. But even the birds were quiet today.The silence wasn’t peaceful. It was warning me.Luca hadn’t come in all morning. And Killian... he hadn’t come near me since I told him I needed time. It was like the air between us had frozen over. I didn’t mind the distance. I needed it. But something about today felt wrong.I stood slowly, my feet light on the wooden floor. My heart beat faster with every step toward the hallway. The moment I turned the corner, I saw it. A single piece of paper in Killian’s hand. His knuckles were white around the edges of it, and his jaw was clenched so tight I thought he might break his teeth.I couldn’t see the words from here. But I didn’t need to.I felt it.The same way a hunted animal senses the predator before it pounces.Kil

The fear didn’t leave.It stayed like a second skin. No matter how warm the sun was or how many voices surrounded me, it clung to me—cold, heavy, suffocating.Ever since that letter arrived, I hadn't felt safe. Not even here. Not even with Killian.He’s already within your territory. Fourteen days. Return what’s mine… or face a war.Sebastian’s words looped in my mind like a curse. I hadn't slept properly. I barely ate. My chest constantly ached with the pressure of unspoken fear. The kind of fear that sat in your bones, always whispering—you’re the reason this is happening.And now I was here, watching Killian stand in the center of the pack’s training ground like a force of nature. He looked powerful. Unbreakable. His presence alone could have convinced any outsider that he was the last Alpha anyone would ever want to challenge.But I knew better.Sebastian didn’t fight fair."Train harder. Triple rotations. Elara—lead the north perimeter team. We don't take breaks. We don’t leave c

Killian’s POVThe door slammed shut behind me as I stepped into the private underground chamber—the place where secrets came to rot and the truth was dragged out, screaming if it had to. The torches on the stone walls flickered with an orange glow, casting sharp shadows on the face of the man chained to the wall like a broken dog. Raven. The traitor. The snake who slithered into our Pack and infected it with poison.I sank into the heavy obsidian chair at the far end of the room. It was carved from stone and enchanted to enhance my Alpha presence—a symbol of judgment and execution. My fingers drummed lightly on the armrest as I studied him. Raven was barely conscious, blood crusted at the corner of his mouth, eyes swollen from earlier beatings. But the bastard still had the nerve to smirk.Elara stood beside him, arms folded, her fingers itching to strike again. She’d been interrogating him since I sent her—while I stayed behind. My mind immediately thought of Selene. My mate. My reas

After testing if my body system was working now, I was so excited, so was Luca and Killian. Killian moved closer, took my hands and gave me a hug then he made me sit down. Shivers run down my spine as our body collides. I didn't flinch. I didn't move. I just accosted the hug. After a few discussions between the both, I couldn't hear them well. I knew I was back to life again but my body was still weak and my vision was blurring.“She needs some sleep now, maybe when she wakes her body system will be better than now,” Luca said to Killian. From the edge of my eyes I saw him pierce his eyes on me and he leaves the room. Leaving me all alone in the room.Slowly I closed my eyes and slept off.The first thing I felt when I woke again wasn’t pain—it was emptiness in me.I lay still for a long time after my hand was staring at the ceiling above me, a soft flickering glow from the lantern casting shadows that danced like whispers I couldn’t hear. The weight in my chest hadn’t left; in fac

The world came back to me in scattered pieces, like a puzzle slowly falling into place. First, there was darkness—soft, suffocating, and oddly comforting. Then came a flicker of something—light, maybe? A sensation brushing against my skin like a whisper. I wasn’t sure where I was or what was happening, but I knew one thing: I wasn’t dead. Not yet. I was coming back to life. The pressure of a mattress cradled my aching body. My limbs felt like they had turned to stone, each muscle screaming with fatigue. The weight of the blankets was oppressive and yet oddly reassuring. I could smell something faint—herbs and blood, maybe a hint of smoke? It grounded me, reminded me of the battlefield I had fought through, of the pain that had consumed me.My eyelids fluttered open with great effort, as though they were being pried apart by invisible fingers. Even in the dim lighting, it felt blinding. My vision was blurry at first—shapes swimming before me like ghosts. Slowly, the room began to shar

Day seven arrived without warning. The night faded into gray, and morning didn’t feel like morning anymore. There was no chirping of birds outside my window, no warmth breaking through the glass. Only cold, still air pressing against my skin like a second, unwanted blanket. My body felt heavier than yesterday. My eyes flickered open but didn’t move to scan the room. It took too much effort. Even blinking felt like a decision.The scent of herbs was stronger today. It burned the inside of my nose and made my stomach twist. A part of me wanted to turn my head away, but that part no longer listened. My limbs felt like wet cloth—useless and slack.I heard Luca before I saw him. His soft footsteps entered the room, quiet but sure, followed by the faint clink of glass. He always tried not to make noise. He thought silence helped. Maybe it did. Maybe it didn’t. But today, it only made the room feel emptier."Selene," Luca whispered, his voice close to my ear. I didn’t turn to him. I didn’t b
The Alpha's Mute Mate Chapter 40
Killian’s POVI walked away from the room slowly, each step heavier than the last. My boots echoed down the hallway, but the sound did little to distract me from the storm inside my head. My chest felt tight, like something invisible had its grip on me, refusing to let go. I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. Not after seeing Selene like that—so still, so pale, her breaths barely there.The silence in the hallway didn’t match the noise in my mind. A thousand questions swirled like a hurricane. Was I doing the right thing? Could I save her? Could she survive this? And if she didn’t... what would I become?I remembered Elder Garrick’s words."If she dies before the moon rises, the pack will turn on you. The pack must have a Luna."He never said it aloud, but we both knew who he meant—Elara. My beta wolf. My most trusted warrior. She was fierce, loyal, and strong. Everything a Luna should be on paper.But Selene... Selene was different.She was broken, mute, and slowly dying.Yet somehow, she

Killian’s POVThe elder’s council room was cold and filled with heavy silence. I stood by the window, arms folded, jaw tight. The scent of incense burned low in the corner, but it did nothing to calm my nerves. Elara sat to my right, hands folded neatly in her lap. Chief Elder Garrick entered last, his long cloak dragging slightly behind him as he moved to his seat. He didn’t sit yet. He looked straight at me.“The Moonlight Celebration is five nights away, Alpha,” he said, voice low but firm. “Have you brought your mate-to-be forward for preparation?”I clenched my jaw before I answered. “That’s why we’re here.”He finally sat down. Elara turned her head slightly towards his direction and then back to mine, she was watching me like she was waiting for something, maybe waiting for me to say something.“I need more time,” I said in a cool dry voice. “Just a little.”Elder Garrick frowned. “Time is not something the moon waits for. The celebration date cannot be moved. It has been decid

The morning of day eight arrived like a ghost, silent and grim.There was no warmth in it, no softness from the rising sun. Just the dull light bleeding through the curtains and the weight in my chest pressing heavier than before. The scent of herbs filled the room, thick and cloying, but even that was faint to me now. I couldn’t lift my hand to wipe the sweat from my temple. I couldn’t ask for water. I couldn't even whisper.I hadn’t spoken a word in years—not since the trauma stole my voice—but now, even my hands refused to obey me. They trembled weakly whenever I tried to sign, and more often than not, my fingers just... gave up. It was like my body was already grieving the life it once had, before the poison began to eat away at what little strength I had left.Luca had finally said it aloud last night.“You’re not getting better, Selene,” he whispered, kneeling beside my bed, his voice barely hiding the tremble in it. “The poison is spreading too fast. Your heart is weakening.”A

The golden hue of evening spilled lazily through the tall windows, it was casting long shadows that danced across the marble floors . The room where I laid was quiet—too quiet. Only the soft ticking of the clock above the fireplace marked the passing time.I laid there, propped up by a few pillows, my limbs unmoving and cold under layers of blankets which lay on my chest. Luca had come in earlier, carefully adjusting my IV and murmuring soft words I barely registered in my head. My mind was wandering about as he spoke. I couldn't recall what he said but I knew for certain he said something, something encouraging. His presence was calming, but even that felt muted against the steady ache that had settled deep inside me. The poison had sunk its clue deeper inside of me. Every passing hour was becoming traumatic for me. The pain. I hadn’t been to class with Luca in days now. Not that I could move and he was also my healer. The lesson between us had been forced to pause everything con
The Alpha's Mute Mate Chapter 36
The silence in this room isn't peaceful. It's suffocating me.It clings to the corners, presses into my lungs, and settles over me like the same heavy blankets I can no longer toss aside by myself. Morning has melted ever since Elara and Luca left and now we are into afternoon, but no one’s come in yet after then. Not Killian. Not Elara. Not even Luca.I stare at the ceiling, watching the faint patterns in the paint, like tiny rivers that move only when I blink too long. I try to shift, to sit up, to move anything below my waist. But the truth is brutal and unchanging—my body does not respond. I’m trapped in it.I swallow against the dry ache in my throat. My eyes flicker to the door. There’s a soft knock, and then it swings open.Luca steps in, his white coat wrinkled, dark circles bruising the skin beneath his eyes. He looks exhausted. I try to smile, but my lips barely twitch."You're late today," I murmured.He pauses at the foot of my bed. “Sorry, Luna. Things have been... tense.
