Wind Carved Names Into Silence by Zex Hollow 195

Chapter 195 

“So, Aria. Are you ready to talk now?” 

“Yes, Alpha. Her voice is so soft and sounds like I imagine an angel would and it’s killing me. 

“That’s good. So how do you know that Talon is your mate? You are too young to sense his wolf or feel any connection and as I mentioned before if a wolf finds their mate and their underage then they are not allowed to tell them 

‘He told me that he’s my mate. I don’t feel any connection to him but he told me that the… pack lands where I was before here didn’t believe in all of the werewolf laws and he said that the whole mate law was just another law that he didn’t feel the need to abide by, he said… he said that he wanted me to be prepared for my 18th birthday… for the day that he claimed me.” 

Tears start to stream down her face as her body begins to shake with the force of her sobs and it fucking guts me. All I want to do right now is scoop her up and wrap her in my arms but I can’t and that doesn’t help my mood. I have to push my feelings aside and do whatever I can do to help her so instead of doing what I want, I lean in close to her whispering reassuring words hoping that they help to calm her. I don’t know if it’ll work but it’s all I have right 

now. 

“Aria, even if it is true and he is indeed your mate. Why does that make you so upset?” Nick asks and I find myself instantly eager for her answer. She looks at Nick as she works to stop her tears and the moment she squares out her shoulders and sits a little straighter I feel incredibly proud of her. Maybe it’s stupid to feel pride at such a small thing but I don’t care. 

“Well, as I said before I don’t know him on a personal level but I’ve heard enough stories. I’ve heard the rumours about who he is and the things that he does and it terrifies me.” Her voice shakes as she speaks and it puts me in an instant rage but I keep it bottled up so that she doesn’t see. I’ve got to let it out later one way or another or I’m going to explored. 

“Would you be ok with telling us what those stories or rumours are?” I like how Nick asks her if she’s willing to talk when we all know that he could just command her to. As an alpha, he has that right but Nick’s nothing if not respectful until he is made to behave differently. 

“They say that… they say that he is a very rich man and that he helps to fund a lot of places like the one that I was in and in return, he’s allowed to claim any she–wolf that he wants to. As many as he wants to. When any new She–wolves arrive at the camps he visits and picks any he wants before anyone else in the pack even gets to see them. It’s said that he breeds them and sells the babies. It’s said that once he’s bored of the She–wolves he sells or disposes of them as he sees fit 

‘Jesus fuck!” Nick growls while every single guy in the room grunts their agreeance. “You have got to be fucking kidding me!” I growl needing to let a little of my anger out in any way that I can. 

Nick runs a hand through his hair as he takes a deep breath while I quickly follow suit. “Ok, so what happened when you met him?” He asks my mate as I zone back in on her and wait for what she is about to say next. 

“When I arrived at the pack he was already there. We were led into a large room and he was sitting there waiting for us.” 

“How many did you arrive with?” I ask curious as to how they did things. She turns her attention to me staring into my eyes and once again I feel my heart beat a little faster. “There were five of us. Some of the girls managed to escape before being put in a van. I managed to get my little sister and mom to safety but it was too late for me. They grabbed me before I could get away.” Fucking hell!
