Wind Carved Names Into Silence by Zex Hollow 109

Bonnie 

Rearing those words come from, Nathen I feel my spine instantly stiffen. It’s pretty obvious that she’s going to be scared, the girl has been dragged through the forest and thrown in a cell while all the other cells around her currently hold a bunch of assholes who I doubt are helping her situation, but the 

way Nathen said the words makes me think that it was meant differently. 

Is she scared of someone outside? Is she on the run and looking for help? Was she running from something and stumbled upon these lands by mistake and now she’s fearing for her life? Is she tunning from the kind of pain that I am? My mind hurts with all of the silent questions that I’m asking myself but then the logical side of me wakes up and more questions quickly come to mind like is she here to cause trouble or worse is she here to add more heartache to our lives? I may not have been here for long but there are already so many people that I’ve grown fond of and none of those people have had easy carefree lives and none of them needs or deserve any more heartache. 

The girl that I’m looking at through the cell door looks small, scared and frail and after such a jaded life I’ve had to learn to question everyone’s moves and motives and that’s why as much as I want nothing more than to go into that cell and give her a hug, I don’t. Instead, I cross my arms and zone in on her hoping that when she looks up she’ll see the fire in my eyes and how much I’m willing to protect the people here if I need to. 

“Who are you?” Nicky asks as he tightens his hold on my hand. He’s being curious too but I imagine he has to be like that with everyone given his role and his responsibilities. He has so many people to protect that he can’t afford to make any mistakes. After a few seconds, she looks up and I swear I feel Nick’s whole body instantly tense up. ‘Hello, Alpha Nicholas.” He takes several deep breaths his eyes staying glued on the girl in the cell while she returns the same stare and it’s clear to see that they somehow know each other. 

A pang of jealousy hits me square in the chest and before I even realise what I’m doing I let go of Nicky’s hand and take a silent step back. It’s pretty clear that they know each other or at the very least recognize each other and I can’t help but shake the feeling that they know each other on some kind of personal level. Despite Lexi’s voice telling me that I have nothing to be worried about I can’t help the storm of insecure emotions that are storming my head 

right now. 

“Rosie?” Nicky asks as my eyes begin to ping pong between him and the girl in the cells and I feel myself crumble slightly when she nods and gives him a small smile. “I don’t understand… I thought you were dead… we looked… we searched!” The raw emotion in his voice just tears my heart even more and before I even realise what I’m doing I’ve taken several slow silent steps away from my mate and this Rosie girl all while looking at the floor hoping I’ve somehow become invisible. 

“No, you don’t!” My head snaps up as my mate gently grabs my hand and pulls me back towards him. “I can only imagine what you are thinking but it’s not like that, baby. I can’t explain it all right now but I will I promise, but until then all I can do is ask that you please… please trust me?” He looks straight into my eyes and despite everything inside of me telling me to run I decide to stay and trust my mate. 

I’ve spent too much of my life either running or planning on it and I want it to stop, if Nicky and I are going to be mates then I have to trust him so I nod my head and let him pull me along all while I pray that he doesn’t let me down. Please don’t hurt me. We step back in front of the cell only instead of sitting in the corner of the cell… Rosie has now moved so that she is standing much closer to the cell door but still out of reach.
