The Alpha’s Mute Mate -
Episode 35
BROOKE
I don’t say anything for a little while, I look at my hands but look towards Joe who hasn’t said or moved an inch from me.
I close my eyes “Willow, can you speak for me please?” I ask her, she nods her head.
“I remember that pink doll you used to carry around with you all the time,” she says softly, opening one eye to look towards Daisy who looks back at me stunned. Willow has come through “You named her Rose. You never went without her. I remember you giving her to me when I would get upset because my mother would leave me in the pack house while she would go to work or when dad was training” I say, a tear slides down my cheek at the mention of my mother. Willow’s voice is soft and gently tells them what I’m telling her.
But fear strikes me.
“I can’t tell her what happened that night that changed everything for me; it wasn’t just my mother and father’s argument that drove me away, something else did too. I can’t tell her” I say to Willow, but she looks at me “You don’t have to but I will tell them about it instead” I nod.
Daisy moves her suitcase off the bed and sits down next to me; the guys were about to leave but “Please don’t leave” Willow says to them. I know we are both looking up at everyone.
“There is something else, something that I need to tell you,” she said, she looks at everyone before she speaks again.
“I knew Hudson was my mate before he came to rescue me as he put it,” she said with a hiss.
I can feel everyone’s confusion; their faces were saying so much.
“You see I was still 15, no one knew my age as Aubrey never bothered celebrating my birthday. Austin would buy a cupcake if he was around but when he went to college it stopped” I said, Daisy growled at the mention of Aubrey, we gave her a weak smile “I never thought anything of it as I never knew about mates as Aubrey never told me. I remember the basement door wasn’t locked and I knew I had to go up the stairs to get something but I had to be quiet so I wouldn’t get caught, I could hear something coming from Madison’s room. The door was ajar, I looked in…….” I say but Willow takes full control as I am balling my eyes out in my head.
I close my eyes and go back inside my head, my eyes shoot open and are completely black.
WILLOW
Daisy needs to know, so does Adonis and Joe.
Our mate was a d**k.
“Brooke just went back into our mind, she was crying. I will explain everything. I might be here for a while. She’s broken once again” I say looking towards all three shocked faces.
“Why is she crying?” asks Joe, I have grown attached to this man and I know he helped bring Brooke out of the whole thing before, I might need his help after all this.
“It is about our mate,” I say to him but I turn to Daisy but she looks at me “What did that jackass do?” she says to me, I give her a small smile.
“The worst thing anyone can ever do, he found out that he was mated to a human girl at least you didn’t catch your mate having s*x like Brooke did,” I say and she gasps “What do you mean? Hudson said he never found his mate, he never…….” I have to cut her off shaking my head. This needs to come out now.
“Stop Daisy, Hudson knew who Brooke was. Everyone knew that Jackson had a daughter who was taken away and there were no rescue attempts, not by anyone. Not even by her own father. Her reactions about her father at the hospital were justified but she didn’t know why. But we are not here to talk about him yet, we are here to talk about Hudson. Brooke watched Madison and Hudson f*****g hard but he stopped when he smelt her scent but it was faint. He made some excuse to Madison that he had to go but he followed her faint scent to the kitchen where she was all Hudson did was stare right at her. He told her that he would reject her if he ever saw her again” I said “Brooke didn’t have any scars at the time that you can see now, she had them on her back mainly. But the worst came……….Madison overheard the whole thing. She told Aubrey once Hudson left. When Aubrey came home, she tortured Brooke for days and days. She was so broken, they beat her so bad that she went into shock. But when Aubrey did the whole memory wipe thing, she made sure no one brought up Hudson to her.”
Daisy looks angry “You are wrong, Hudson never knew Brooke was his mate. He wouldn’t……”
I shake my head.
“Brooke I am going to show them the new power we just got,” I say but Brooke is too far back to hear me. But I know she can still hear what I’m saying.
I close my eyes and clench my hand into a fist, golden sparkle flames come around my hand. I move my hand around and make a ball, it is a memory ball.
All three of them gasp.
I threw the ball into the air, it started to show the memory of what I told them. All three stare at the ball that is floating in the air. After it finishes, the ball disappears.
Daisy is looking at where the ball was but suddenly “I know what Brooke and I are, I am not going to tell you. Since being here, Brooke has been well rested till now and I got my strength back. My power is coming back slowly, that there” I say pointing to where the ball was “is known as a memory ball, I just showed you the memory that I just watched through Brooke’s mind”
“Why would he reject her?” Adonis says looking angry.
“I’m going to kill him” Daisy snarls and looks back at me “I don’t want to leave now, knowing what he did, how am I supposed to face him.”
“I think he rejected her because he thought she was human, I don’t think he knew who she was really as Brooke always covered up her scar on her neck,” I said turning to Adonis, he looks annoyed but it is Joe’s reaction I feared more, he looks like he wants to kill. He has become like a guardian to Brooke.
“I will kill him myself” Joe suddenly says, startling Daisy and Adonis.
“No one will kill him. I think he knew all about Brooke, even at the hospital or he probably forgot the whole encounter with her like she did but he did go back and be d**k deep into Madison. That was a year before everyone knew where they were” I said.
“You said he knew about a year or so back, was it before Jackson met Alanna,” says Daisy, she is remembering something that Jackson said to Brooke. Brooke told Daisy everything from Hudson to Jackson explaining everything that happened to her. I know where this is going. I close my eyes and listen to what she says next “Jackson would have known about the abuse wouldn’t he? He would have done anything for Brooke, Wouldn’t he?” she says I open my eyes with rage I can feel all three of them get angrier and angrier with the look I was giving them.
“Willow please tell me that ain’t true,” says Daisy, through gritted teeth.
I look at them, individually, all three of them have gained Brooke’s trust, they have been helping her cope with everything, helping her to find herself but now she is in the back of our head where I go to sleep, to think and rest but she is there because of the hurt people have put her through. People she started to think about trusting again.
I sigh “He was there at the time, I don’t know if he knew about the abuse but he was drinking. He must have stopped drinking once he met his second chance mate” I said “Hudson knew she was there for at least a year and a half, but he never helped her.”
Daisy moves off the bed, grabs her suitcase and starts to unpack again.
“What are you doing?” says Adonis “You need to go and sort out stuff with Rex.”
But Daisy shakes her head “He can wait, my friend needs me” she says but she grabs her phone and dials a number. She looks at me and smiles but she goes quiet “Hey mum! Can you come out here?” she asks.
I can hear the excitement of Luna Sophia on the phone but when Daisy speaks again, Luna Sophia’s attitude changes “Don’t tell Hudson, Jackson or Rex you are coming out here, say that Adonis is coming to see the family but us girls are sunning it up for a while longer, working on ourselves and on our tans.”
“Daisy, why can’t I……..” she says but Adonis takes her phone from her and speaks “Please cuz, you need to come here and don’t bring any of the men. Your girls need you,” he says as he looks at me with a weak smile “I will be on the plane tonight, meet me at the airport in the north. I will be waiting for you.”
“Adonis, please tell me what’s wrong with the girls,” she says. Adonis looks at me and hands me the phone, I take it but sigh “Luna Sophia” I say, she sounds startled “Willow”
“Are you on your own to talk?” I ask her.
“Yes,” she says, I can she is telling the truth.
“Joe and Adonis found a witch that brought Brooke’s memories back, they hit her like a ton of bricks but there is a lot to take in and most of them are of Hudson and her father. She has retreated into the back of our mind with a block up now” I say.
I look back at all three people in the room “I don’t think she will come back out. Daisy wants you here as you calmed Brooke down before but I have to warn you, Brooke remembers every single thing that happened to her.”
Luna Sophia is quiet for a moment “When is Adonis coming?” I look at Adonis who shouts “I am leaving now, I will be there a few hours, I will message when I land.”
“I will leave now,” she says and hangs up. I hand Daisy her phone back to her.
Adonis leaves the room and the villa to catch his plane. I lie back down on the bed and look at the ceiling.
Daisy unpacks everything while Joe looks at me. His eyes are saying a lot more but no words are being said.
“I think I will make some food for us” he suddenly says. He leaves the room.
Daisy sighs after unpacking her things. But stops to look at me.
“Willow, Is Brooke alright?” she asks me.
I have been trying for ages to get through the block she has put up but it is not budging at all. She is back to the scared girl like before or she might be processing everything that she saw in her head, I don’t know. There are a lot of answers there that she never knew she had and she knows what we are.
I look at Daisy “I don’t know, she won’t talk to me” I say with sadness filling in my voice. I miss my human voice. No one else can hear it, only I and no one ever will again but it is music to my ears, but all I am getting now is silence.
