Wind Carved Names Into Silence by Zex Hollow 23

“MATE!” 

Excuse me… The moment I hear that word coming from Lily my head snaps in her direction. I’m in so much shock that I can’t seem to say a word but then I realize that I’ve only heard her say the word and no one else. “I don’t understand…” Gamma James takes the words right out of my mouth and I’m pretty sure everyone else’s too. “Mate! Where is my mate?” Lilly’s wolf Rain is pissed but I get it. 

“Well, it ain’t me,” James says. 

“Nor me. Although that is a shame” Will grunts. 

“Not me.” My mate says making me want to roll my eyes.

“Aint me either.” The guy who hauled Lily in says. 

“I don’t get it. I can smell my mate and feel slight tingles running through my body but I know he isn’t here.” Poor Lilly sounds confused and sad as she starts walking over to the other side of the room seeming to zone out. “What the hell is going on?” James grunts. Before anyone else can say another word a loud growl echoes from the hallway and just seconds later the door is once away swung open and an angry–looking Beta Shane comes storming in. 

“Where is she?” He looks pissed and I’m pretty sure his wolf has got some control of him. Wait… is he? “My mate. I can smell her but I can’t find-” His head snaps in the direction of Lilly before he finishes speaking and “MATE!” echos around the room as they both growl 

at the same time. 

“I can’t believe I’ve finally found you.” He looks in awe of Lilly and insanely in love with her already as he slowly walks towards her seeming afraid to move too fast in case he scares her. As for Lily, she has a strange look on her face. She appears happy to have met him but there is something else there, I’m sure quite sure what it is but I can sense something is off. 

Everyone in the room remains silent as we watch Lily and Beta Shane find out they are mates and aside from our current situation, this is a pretty incredible moment to witness. I’ve never been this close when mates have been found before, it’s quite fascinating. Of course, watching this scene, and seeing how beta Shane instantly wants his mate also makes this moment bittersweet for me. 

I look to my left and notice Alpha Nicholas staring at me but I can’t pay it any attention and instead focus back on my best friend as she talks with her mate. I don’t know a great deal about Beta Shane but it’s clear that he wants her and I can feel deep down that he’s going to be good for her. Clearly, he’s nothing like his older brother. 

“Wait, why are you here? Has something happened?” Shane wraps his arm around Lily and turns to face his Alpha brother and I can’t keep the smile of my face when I watch my best friend lean into her mate. She’s going to be ok, she’s going to have a good life with her mate I can feel it. 

Alpha Nicholas goes on to tell them about us out in the woods and being dragged back including Lily’s little attempt to escape and I

almost laugh at the expression on Beta Shanes’s face at his mate’s antics, and I don’t miss the growl that leaves his mouth at the mention of another male carrying his mate. 

Everyone looks at the door to find the warrior looking a little white as he holds his hands up in the air ‘I was just doing my job, Beta, Shane. I also had no idea that she was your mate.” He almost stumbles over his words causing both Gamma Will and the other brother to burst out laughing. Wait… what role does 

the youngest brother have in the pack? 

“He hasn’t done anything wrong, brother and you know it so chill your ass while we find out what’s going on.” Alpha grunts which in turn makes Beta Shane grunt and reluctantly nod. “Fine! but he touches her again and I’ll chop his balls off!” his words have everyone laughing while the Warrior nods his head with a slight smirk on his face. “Noted, Beta.”
