The Silent Alpha novel Chapter 31

 ***Zane*** 

A gust of wind carries a familiar scent as I walk back to the house, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end.

Grayson growls loudly when I finally recognize the scent and I turn on my heel in time to see the same French Alpha who touched Kota last week now threatening my mate.

"Looks like someone needs to teach this b***h some manners," he snickers, his large build towering over my small mate and our pup.

"I'll gladly volunteer."

The scene is enough to send Grayson into a frenzy, my wolf taking over and shoving me back to watch him carry out his punishment.He shifts mid-run, rushing past our mate and pouncing on the stupid Alpha.

The Alpha is taken by surprise as Grayson pins him to the ground but quickly composes himself, wrapping his arms around my neck.

Grayson retaliates by dropping his weight on him and rolling, both of us wrestling each other around while Talia picks up Kota and steps away to safety.

I manage to pin the Alpha to the ground again, Grayson displaying his canines and snapping his jaws at him.

Kota's whimpers remind me that a child is watching and I reign in Grayson's anger, not wanting to traumatize our pup any further.

Annoyed, Grayson snarls menacingly at the Alpha and The Alpha scrambles to his feet, a deadly glare in his eyes.

"You again," He mutters, Grayson snarling in response and taking a protective stance in front of Kota and Talia.

"Step aside. My problem is with the b***h behind you, not you."

A wicked smirk curls on Grayson's lips as an idea pops into his head.

Grayson...

No....

I warn him but he's already made up his mind, dropping our walls and building a telepathic connection between us and the Alpha.

"Unless you want me to rip out your tongue, you should watch what you say around my mate and our pup ." Grayson snarls.

He glances over at Talia, his eyes scanning her up and down before he looks over at us again and snickers.

"She's not much to look at-"

"KNEEL ,"

Grayson commands, a black film glazing over the Alpha's eyes as he obeys Grayson's order.

The Alpha wordlessly kneels before me, sticking out his neck in surrender.

Grayson...

Before I can say anything else, Grayson turns to his side and lifts his leg, a stream of urine showering over the Alpha's head.

A shocked gasp escapes from Talia, little Kota giggling behind her.

Oh Dear Moon Goddess ,I groan, Grayson giving his leg a little unbelievable! 

"Who's the b***h now 2?"

Grayson sneers, kicking the Alpha in the chest with his hind paw.

"NOW SIT and WAIT."

Grayson turns to face our shocked mate, nuzzling his head against her chest.

At first, Talia stares blankly at us but when Kota begins to stroke my fur, she finally snaps out of her trance and buries her head in my neck.

"Thank you," she murmurs, her fingers gripping my fur.

We hear footsteps approaching, Queen Aurora and her Gamma walking towards us.

Gamma Evan immediately bursts into laughter upon seeing the urine drenched Alpha but Aurora looks anything but amused.She swallows back her words, however, and sighs tiredly as she forms a connection.

"Assume there is a good reason for what you've done to Benoit," She says, her voice a bit strained as she nods towards the livid Alpha.

"He threatened my mate, "Grayson snaps."

And since your guards failed to do their job and patrol the area, I had to take matters into my own hands!"

"Not that I owe you any explanations, but ! gave Benoit permission to patrol River Moon grounds "

Aurora hisses, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.

She pauses for a moment to take a deep breath and calm herself down but I still see a flicker of anger lingering in her eyes.

"We'll talk about this later, She shakes her head disapprovingly at me.done now!"

Benoit, the young Alpha, snarls.

"When my father finds out about this, he'll-"

"That's enough out of you, Benoit,"

Aurora silences him, turning over to us, a stern look on her face.

"Go home," She says, Benoit growling with anger.

"You're just going to let him go?" He shouts.

"Are you stupid?"

Gamma Evan is in his face within a second, punching Benoit in the jaw and forcing him to the ground.

"You better calm your pissy ass down before I piss on you too," He growls, Benoit shouting back something in French as he spits blood from his mouth.

"Go," Aurora says quietly, her face eerily calm.

"I'll take care of this."

There's a faint hint of worry in her voice and it scares me, but I don’t question her, nudging Talia and Kota back to the guest house.

As we walk, Kota taps on my snout, giving me a timid smile through his chattering teeth.

"Can I have a ride?" he asks, his large eyes twinkling with hope.

"Not today, Kota," Talia answers for me.

"First, you need a bath."

Talia holds Kota a little closer to her chest to keep him warm until we reach the house.

***Talia*** 

Zane remains outside for a bit, not wanting to shift in front of me, and takes a shower downstairs while I take Kota up for a bath.

My heart pounds in my chest as I gather Kota’s things, the adrenaline still pumping in my veins from the scary encounter with the visiting Alpha.

Butterflies fill my stomach, however, when I think about how quickly Grayson and Zane responded.

They didn’t hesitate to take charge and put that Alpha in his place for disrespecting me.

It’s been a long time since I had anyone but Gwen protect me and it was amazing to know I’m not as alone as I thought I was.

Grayson was so fierce with the Alpha but gentle as soon as he was done, nuzzling and licking me to make sure Kota and I were unharmed I let out a little chuckle as I prepare Kota’s bath, still unable to believe he actually had the guts to pee on Benoit.

In all my years as Luna, no wolf had ever peed on another on my behalf! I find it hard to focus on my task, a bit giddy from the warm feeling spreading across my body.

Finally finishing, I dry and dress Kota in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

"Mommy, are you a wolf too?" Kota asks as I comb his hair.

"No, I’m not" I whisper, brushing some hair away from his face.

"I’m just … me," I shrug.

Zane?

"....”

Seeing no reason to keep this from him, I decide to come clean.

"You, mi amor my lovei, are a wolf just like your father.And when you grow up, you will be a big, strong wolf who can protect me."

"Just like Zane protects us!" He smiles cheekily at me.

I continue to comb his hair but his face contorts as another thought enters his mind.

"Mommy, what is my daddy?"

My heart nearly skips a beat as my brain stops functioning properly for a second.I sit down on the bed beside Kota, trying my best to make sense of my jumbled thoughts.
