The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 45: Wrong Move
“We shouldn’t be doing this.”The words barely made it past my lips. I was already out of breath the second Dax had me pinned against the pantry door, the cool wood pressing into my spine while his body heat burned everywhere else. I had only come in for the tomato sauce. That was the entire plan; grab the jar, leave, pretend the last five years had never happened. Then he stepped in front of me, shut the door with a soft click, and kissed me like he was starving, and I was the only thing that could fix it.Even as the protest left my mouth, I didn’t push him away. My hands were supposed to shove at his chest. Instead, they fisted in the soft cotton of his shirt, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us. His mouth was hot, demanding, tasting faintly of mint and something darker that was just him. I felt the scrape of stubble along my jaw as he deepened the kiss, and a low sound escaped my throat before I could swallow it.“Wren, hurry up! The oil’s already hot.”Mom
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 45: Over The Fence
SERAPHINEThe handle stopped turning, and for one suspended second neither of us moved at all, the whole room holding its breath alongside us.Then a voice, low, gruff, unfamiliar, called through the door. "Who's in there? This block's supposed to be locked at this hour."Security. One of the night guards the orphanage had started hiring after the renovation, someone I'd never once had reason to meet before tonight.Ally moved first, snatching the flashlight dark and scrambling to her feet, her hand closing hard around my wrist. "Get everything. Now."I didn't need telling twice. I swept the scattered pages back into the folder in one frantic motion, the photograph, the intake form, every scrap of paper that proved who I actually was, and clutched it hard against my chest like it might be ripped away from me if I let it out of my grip for even a second.The handle rattled again, harder this time, and then a heavy fist pounded against the wood."I know someone's in there. Open this doo
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 44: Call To Action
DexGosh. The way her mouth curved when she slurped the spaghetti, the slow drag of her tongue as she licked the sauce from her lower lip; I couldn’t take my eyes off her. That little involuntary sweep of her fingers through her wavy hair was the same habit I had. It hit me low in the gut every time she did it.“You’re so silly, Mark!!”My stepmother’s laugh cut through the haze. Rose was sharing some joke with her perfect husband, my father, who had never managed to be a perfect father to me. She was glowing, completely oblivious to the current running under the table between her daughter and me.“You’re right, Mark. We should get a family portrait now that we’re all complete.” Rose turned that bright, optimistic smile on me. “Dex? What do you think?”I had been about to take another mouthful. Instead, I set the fork down carefully.“That’s a great idea,” I said, voice calm. My father smiled, satisfied, and shifted his attention to Wren.“Wren, my dear, I hope you’re settling in we
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 43: Ashwood
SERAPHINEI sank to the floor beside the fallen photograph, my legs no longer trustworthy enough to hold me upright, and Ally knelt with me, her flashlight beam trembling slightly as she angled it back down toward the scattered pages."Sera, breathe. You need to breathe."I barely heard her. My eyes had already found the intake page again, the one I'd skimmed too fast the first time, hungry for the photograph and nothing else. Now I forced myself to read it properly, slowly, every clinical, official line of it.Date of birth recorded at intake:I stared at the numbers until they blurred, my mind doing the math automatically, the way it always did, and the answer that came back made my stomach drop straight through the floor."Ally." My voice came out barely a whisper. "This says I'm a year older than I've always been told.""What?" She leaned in close, following my finger down the page, her own breath catching audibly when she landed on the date herself. "Sera, that's, that's not a cl

SERAPHINEI expected Ally to fumble with the lock. Maybe curse under her breath, maybe give up after a few frustrated tries and suggest we find a window instead.I did not expect her to drop to her knees in front of the admin block's back door, pull two thin metal pins from somewhere inside her braid, and start working the lock with the calm, practised efficiency of someone who'd done this before."Ally." My whisper came out sharper than I intended. "What exactly is happening right now?""Shh. I'm concentrating.""Since when do you know how to pick a lock?""Since the year the kitchen started locking up the good rice and I got tired of watery porridge." She didn't even look up, her tongue poking slightly between her teeth in concentration, the pins working in small, precise movements I could barely follow in the dark. "You'd be amazed what a person learns when they're hungry enough, Sera. Now hush, or I'm going to make you explain to the matron tomorrow why there's a broken pin jammed
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 41: The Rise Of The Queen
SERAPHINEMy soul genuinely left my body when I saw them turning toward me, three silhouettes closing the distance in the dark, and for one long, suspended second I was certain this was it, the end of whatever careful invisibility I'd managed to maintain.Then the rats redirected. Straight toward Calista and her friends, scurrying fast and low across the stone, and all three of them screamed loud enough to wake half the orphanage."It's a rat! Oh God, it's a rat!" Calista's voice hit a pitch I'd never once heard from her, pure, undiluted terror stripping away every ounce of the composed cruelty she usually wore like armour, and she took off running with a speed I genuinely hadn't known her capable of, skirts hiked up, heels abandoned entirely somewhere in the first three strides. Her friends bolted right behind her, none of them daring a single glance back, legs pumping so hard their heels nearly caught the backs of their own thighs.Turned out Calista was just as dead scared of rats
