Silence I Kill You Novels & Stories

* The pillar pulsed once. A voice spoke, but not with sound. It was inside their skulls. *You are late.* Aria stopped ten paces from the stone. “Who are you?” *I am what remains when oaths are forgotten.* *I am the Silence.* Ash raised her blade. It did nothing. The blade felt heavy, distant, like it belonged to someone else. Kael stepped in front of Aria. “You can’t have her.” The Silence laughed. It had no mouth. *She already belongs to me. She carries my brother’s prison in her blood.*

Skylar asked the smallest of them. “Skylar... How did—” Skylar didn't let Jax finish his words. He lunged onto him and caught him by the neck between his teeth. Jax yelped as he was bitten. Skylar shook him before throwing him off towards the nearby tree. He fell with a loud thud. There was shock and fear from the other three. Kylo was not satisfied. He wanted to lash out more and release his rage on the other three who hurt his favorite pack member. The memory of the scent of Kinsley's blood was very fresh. It only fueled his outrage.

It feels like swallowing another form of poison made from horse shit. I feel relief when hearing Silas say I'm not going to die from this. Thank goodness, but that doesn't beat the fact that someone did try to kill me. Silas sits on the edge of a nearby stool, his gaze distant, as if he’s peering into a future I’m rapidly approaching. “You have enemies too close to home, Alpha,” he murmurs, his voice low and grave. “And someone… someone is counting on your silence. Permanently.” The weight of his words settles upon me, heavy and suffocating. My silence. Why would anyone want to silence me? What have I seen? What do I know that makes me such a threat?

“You thought you could avenge Matteo? We own the soil he rots in. We own the air you breathe. Soon, you will be so broken you won’t even remember why you hated us. You’ll just be a silent doll for my son to keep in the dark.” Anger, hot and acidic, surges in my throat. I want to scream that I am his undoing. I want to tell him that his bloodline is carrying the seed of its own destruction. But I remain a statue. I stare at the mold on the wall as if he were a ghost. I will not give him my voice. I will not give him my pain. He sneers, kicking the edge of my thin mattress. “Nothing to say? Good. Silence becomes you.” He turns, the door slamming shut with the finality of a gunshot.

“It doesn’t ask. It takes. It doesn’t bloom softly, it burns, spreading through every quiet part of you until there’s no space left untouched. It’s the kind that lingers in your bones, that makes silence feel too loud without it, that turns every breath into a memory of someone you shouldn’t need… but do. It consumes.. not to destroy, but to remake you into something reckless, something that no longer knows how to exist without the fire. And even when it hurts, even when it ruins everything.. you still choose it… because nothing else has ever felt as real.” Silence followed, it was heavy. I turned my head slightly, Iris was smiling. “You’ll find the right woman, Kael,” she whispered. Then, l

“Two…. Still nothing. My eyes flickered with annoyance. “Three…” A strange uneasiness crept into my chest. “Four…" I leaned a little closer without realizing it. “…Five.". Silence. I exhaled sharply and shook my head. “You’re impossible... if you can. bear me.. which I know you can, when you eventually decide to cut this act of yours.. I pdomose, I will be the one to kill you myself”

He stumbled back. “You… how do you know?” I answered only, my voice like frost. “Because, like you, I was reborn.” Panic tore through him. His eyes went wild, his mouth muttered the same words again and again. “No… no… impossible…” Not long after, the tribe found him dead at the edge of a ravine. The corpse of a lone wolf, rotting and forgotten. And I… I held William’s hand and walked toward our future. Under the rising blood moon he bent to my ear and whispered,

he snarled, and the first bond screamed with his pain. Kellan's voice rang out across the courtyard, the alpha command rolling through the dark. "Stand down. Drop your weapons." The Silence didn't even blink. Their training held. One of them drove a blade toward Kellan's ribs, and he barely twisted aside in time. "They're immune," he shouted. "Don't waste your breath on commands."

They all just stood still, watching. “You see that?” I said, pointing back at the room. “Do you feel the silence, Richard? The stillness? That won't change if I snap your neck. Nothing will change if I choose to kill you here and now.” “Because… I called… you for… what… you are?” he choked out with blood on his lips. “Because I called shit for what it was?” A laugh burst out of me, hollow and harsh. Oh, this guy really has a death wish, doesn’t he?

She wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her hoodie and then she pouted. We were all silent, well they were. I'm always silent. The only thing you could hear was the radio on low volume and the crinkling bags as we ate. "Have you done it before?" Samantha suddenly spoke up. My eyebrows furrowed and I sent her a questioning look. "Killing someone..."
