The Silent Alpha 소설 & 이야기

“That’ll make things more interesting.” Neither of us responded. Silence was our only weapon. He chuckled, the sound low and cold, as he rubbed the scruff of his beard. Then he yanked the chain in his hand, forcing the ragged man forward. The movement was rough, cruel, but the man didn’t resist. “You’re probably wondering who this is,” the Alpha said, his attention now fully on Silas. He grinned wider, and there was something feral in it, something sick and something I knew we were going to hate.

She's trying to hide it, but the evil runs too deep. “Alpha,” Vera whispers in a terrified voice. “I know,” I say.

And for the first time, I saw a sliver of the man behind the Alpha—fractured, bitter, and holding his past like a loaded weapon. Maybe I should’ve stayed quiet. Maybe I should’ve let the silence return. But I couldn’t stop myself from whispering, “Me too.” This time, neither of us said another word. And somehow… that silence said everything.

The circle of wolves laughed, dark and ugly. Then he stepped forward. The scarred Alpha. Silas Tall. Built like a brick wall. Black hair messy from the shift, scar running from his left eye down to his jaw. Eyes the color of winter steel. He didn’t say a word at first. Just looked Noah up and down….Noah was naked, shaking, covered in snow and cum and fury. Then he spoke, voice low and flat. “Walk.” Noah laughed, sharp and broken. “Make me.”

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?

I found myself replaying her scream at night, hearing it in the quiet halls. On the morning of the third day, Silas rose before dawn. His expression was unreadable as he strapped his weapons. “You shouldn’t go alone,” I said, watching him. He gave me that half-smile that wasn’t a smile at all. “I’m Alpha. If something’s stirring on the borders, I’ll feel it. Better me than the whole pack running blind.” My throat tightened. “You don’t always have to be the one.” “Yes, I do.” He came close, cupping my face, pressing his forehead to mine. His voice was a whisper meant only for me. “I won’t let him come here without knowing what he plans. Stay here. Keep the little ones safe.”

Typical. “And you did not think about informing me the first day itself about it, hmm ? For a million dollars, you just sold your soul to the devil,” suddenly the Alpha’s voice dropped low but the dangerous undertone to it increased a hundredfold. “Now instead of that she wolf, I will be the one who will kill you, you mutt,” he whispered but loud enough for supernatural ears to hear and then followed an agonizing, loud cry along with a furious growl before pin drop silence ensued.

I whispered, my hands shaking as I sprinted toward the towering, wooden shelves filled with the oldest leather scrolls in the territory. I began tearing the heavy books down, my claws accidentally slicing through some of the fragile, yellowed parchment as the desperate panic inside my gut grew into a deafening roar. The spirit realm was always treated as a myth by the modern Alphas, a bedtime story told to young pups about a dark, parallel forest where the souls of the dead Alphas go to rest after their mortal bodies turn to dust. But as I opened a massive, silver-bound text titled The First Threshold, the true, horrifying nature of that hidden world began to bleed through the ancient ink.

Despite my injuries, I intercepted him, tackling the massive vampire to the ground. We rolled, each trying to gain the upper position. Malakai was stronger, but my True Alpha power helped me match him. That left The Silent One. He stood perfectly still, watching everything with those empty ancient eyes. Then he opened his mouth. The scream that emerged wasn't sound, it was a weapon. Sonic waves rippled through the air, visible distortions that shattered stone and cracked bones. Kael, closest to The Silent One, took the full force of the attack.

"By the unanimous decision of the Elder Council!" "Alpha Ryder has betrayed the sacred mate bond, committed adultery with the Luna's adopted sister, and defiled the pack's bloodline!" "His sacred mate bond with Luna Ember is hereby forcibly dissolved!" "Effective immediately, he is stripped of his Alpha title and permanently exiled from the pack lands!" "The Omega Lyra has betrayed the kindness of her adoptive parents and seduced her brother-in-law. She is also permanently exiled!" As the Great Elder's final word fell, a searing, unimaginable pain ripped through both me and Ryder simultaneously.
