The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 39: Things I Wasn't Suppose To Hear
SERAPHINEI paced Ma Agatha's small living room for the third day straight, the floorboards creaking under the same worn path my feet had carved since the night she'd told me the truth about my mother, restless in a way that felt like something crawling beneath my skin, unable to settle anywhere long enough to catch my breath."You haven't eaten anything since yesterday." Ma Agatha's voice carried from the small kitchen, tired but firm. "You'll waste away if you keep this up, Sera.""I'm not hungry, Ma Agatha. I need answers." I crossed to the window, staring out at nothing, my reflection ghostlike against the dark glass."Trust me, child, you don't need answers right now. What you need is rest. Food. Proper sleep, the kind you haven't had in days.""You just told me my mother was murdered." My voice cracked, the words tearing loose all at once. "Murdered, Ma Agatha. Whoever killed her robbed me of every chance I might have had at a real family and a real childhood, and look where I e
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 38: Dawn Attack
KAELDraven struck at dawn, while the sky still held that thin, uncertain grey that hadn't decided yet whether it belonged to night or morning.The first sign was chaos on the training grounds, the low, familiar rhythm of drills shattering apart into something violent and wrong, Betas and Omegas caught mid-formation when his men broke through the eastern tree line in a wave of teeth and steel, no warning, no formal challenge issued through the council the way honour demanded. Just an ambush, exactly the kind he'd threatened without ever quite saying the words outright.Mohan burst into the manor before I'd fully processed the shift in the air, his whole frame taut with an urgency I hadn't seen from him in months, his hands cutting fast and sharp through the space between us.Draven's men, Alpha, they've breached the training grounds. It's already turned into a full engagement.I was up and moving before he'd finished the last sign, adrenaline sharpening every sense I still had left, m
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 37: Bree, Again
KAELThe first thing I saw when I woke was my mother's laughter, caught on the small monitor mounted near my door; her figure was visible in the living room below, animated and delighted, though something large and pale blocked whoever sat across from her out of the camera's narrow view. Isolde had always been an early riser, a habit she'd carried since before I could remember, some old military discipline instilled by her own upbringing that she'd never once let soften with age. My father and I, in the years before everything fell apart, had been the night crawlers of this household, up long after she'd retired to bed with a book and a glass of something expensive.I wondered briefly what amused her so thoroughly this early, though I couldn't say I particularly cared, and turned instead toward the balcony doors, watching a pair of birds dart in and out of the elm's low branches just beyond the glass. It struck me, sharper than it should have after three years of practice absorbing
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 36: The Silence That Followed Her
KAELI paced my study like something caged, boots wearing a slow, useless groove into the same stretch of carpet I'd been crossing for the better part of an hour, and the worst part, the part that gnawed at something deep and unfamiliar in my chest, was that my world had gone silent again. Fully. Completely. The way it hadn't in nearly a month. I couldn't hear a pin drop against these floorboards. I couldn't hear my own heartbeat, let alone hers, and if this wasn't torture, some fresh, more refined variety of it than the curse had originally handed me, I didn't know what deserved the word."These are the final documents for the shipping partnership." Mohan set the folder on my desk without ceremony, his hands moving efficiently and briskly, entirely unbothered by the storm visibly building behind my eyes. "Please review carefully before signing. The investors are expecting confirmation by week's end."I signalled for him to leave, barely glancing at the folder. He turned toward the do
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 35: The Truth About My Mother
SERAPHINEONE WEEK BEFORE THE BANQUETShe coughed violently, the sound tearing out of her like something clawing its way loose from deep in her chest, wet and ragged, and I was across the small room and at her side before the fit had even finished shaking her thin shoulders."Oh my God, this is getting out of hand." I pressed a hand flat against her back, feeling the tremor running through her, the bones beneath her nightgown far sharper than I remembered them being even a year ago. "You need to see a doctor, Ma Agatha. Today. Not next week, not when it's convenient, today.""You worry too much, child." She laughed, dry and thin, the sound catching halfway and turning into another small, suppressed cough; she tried to hide behind her fist. "You've always had that heart, that particular way of caring since you were small enough to still be carried on my hip. It's exactly what made you different from the other children who passed through that orphanage. Too tender for a place that harde
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 34: Breaking Point
SERAPHINE"Get in the car," Kael said, holding the door open himself, something almost gentle in the gesture. "The stylist is waiting for you at the manor. Banquet fitting."I got in without a word.He settled across from me, and I watched him glance my way twice, three times, before the car had even cleared the orphanage gates, his brow drawing tighter with every mile of silence I refused to fill. I stared out the window instead, at the road blurring past, at the fields going gold in the afternoon light, at anything that wasn't the man who'd just told an entire courtyard I was his mate without once actually claiming me, probably because I wasn't the daughter of an Alpha, or a royal house, or old money, just an orphan with paint under her nails who happened to be useful to him.By the time we reached the manor, the silence had teeth.He tried again in the entry hall, his voice carrying an edge of confusion he wasn't used to feeling. "Seraphine. The fitting is upstairs."I walked past
