All Chapters of The Alpha's Mute Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The calm before the strike was the most terrifying part that I couldn't stand for a moment.Everything felt too still, even my feet.After Killian made that declaration, after he told Elara to send the message to Sebastian… I couldn’t breathe properly. The walls of the pack house suddenly felt too small for me, like they were closing in on me. Every corner seemed to whisper his name across my ears. Every passing wolf felt like a spy sent by him that I should avoid.Sebastian.The name alone made my bones tremble. That monster that had mute me and cripple me to this shell I am trying to find myself out. It was just when I thought I was coming out of my shell, I was getting closer to Killian and his pack, he strikes again! Demanding to have me back.I couldn’t stop shaking. Even when I hid in the garden behind the library, where the wildflowers grew thick and the wind was supposed to be soft… I still couldn’t escape the chill wrapping around my spine.Fourteen days. He had given a dea

Killian’s POVI never thought I’d be standing here, in the cold, sterile hallway of my pack house, feeling like a man slowly losing everything he’s ever known. But as I stood there, the weight of what was happening pressed down on me with every breath. Every second I spent away from Selene, every moment I wasn’t at her side, I felt like I was failing her. Failing us.The poison was working its way through her body, slowing her, numbing her, but I wouldn’t let it win. I couldn’t. Not after everything we’ve been through. Not after all the lies and betrayal. Selene deserved more than this. She deserved a life without fear, without this constant danger lurking in every corner.But who would I trust now?I walked the length of the hall, my mind a whirlpool of thoughts. Raven. The kitchen. The whispers that had filled the air, the night of the poisoning. Could it really be him? I clenched my fists, trying to push the doubt aside. Raven had been a part of my pack for years. He was loyal, was

Day Nine.It starts with silence. Not the comforting kind. Not the kind that cradles you gently and lets you drift into sleep. No, this silence is suffocating. Heavy. It presses down on me like a weight I can’t lift, reminding me that I’m no longer the girl who used to race through the woods, who used to lead warriors, who used to be Luna with fire in her veins.I stare at the ceiling, blank and white. It’s all I’ve seen for the last few hours. It mocks me.I will try again.My fingers dig into the mattress as I push, trying to lift myself, even if just a little. But nothing happens. My legs remain still. Dead. As if they’ve been replaced by something foreign—something that doesn’t belong to me.I scream into the silence, but it swallows the sound whole.Luca had checked on me earlier, his face carefully neutral, but I could see it. The flicker of fear in his eyes, the tightness in his jaw. He doesn’t know what’s wrong. No one does.I feel like a ghost trapped in a body that’s slowly

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

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
