Chapter 67 Her Broken Mate
'Wait a minute, isn't Seth the son of Alpha and Luna's son? You do know what that makes me, don't you, Thunder?'
'Obviously a Luna, sure enough. For that matter, our womb is ready. Let us get cozy with our mate,' she purred, rolling around in Sarah's head.
'You are fucking horny, listen to me!'
Sarah sighed inwardly, Thunder was in no mood to listen. She was too busy lusting after Seth, and more importantly, his wolf.
Seth, however, has not said a word since. He just kept staring at Sarah as if admiring her from afar. She has to admit that she liked the way he looked from every single angle of his body. Did that count as her excuse to undress him? She did not think so... Aw, crap. In the real world, that's sexual harassment.
He was wearing a white T-shirt, under which his bulging muscles could easily be seen. His hair seemed to be a fluffy brown, so she felt the urge to stroke it. Damn, the Moon Goddess made her mate the hottest of all the men she had ever seen.
Maybe she understood what Thunder meant about why Emily and Ryan could not keep their hands off each other. She felt a strong urge to squeeze his biceps.
She cleared her throat and brought her daydreams back to reality.
"Hi, my name is Sarah. I am a pack member and I went abroad. I just returned today to see if I could find my mate. And what I do not know is that you are my mate." she giggled awkwardly and rubbed the back of her neck.
'A real smooth human, real smooth,' Thunder grumbled, rolling her eyes.
'Shut up! I am trying!'
Irritated, Sarah cut the connection again, wondering why Seth had not said anything back. Maybe he was shy? If so, that would be so sweet! Shy men are one of her favorite things, especially when they blush.
Imagine suddenly appearing out of nowhere and finding your mate. Especially because you have been without a partner since the time you meet your companions.
If she had known that he was her mate, she would not have left so quickly.
Seth gave her a strange look as he stared at her. Was she staring at him or what?
His looks upset her and she lost the will to continue acting confident in his presence. She let out a strange laugh, "I am sorry, I am... um... You are hotter than any other man I know, so I am a little confused. My wolf is totally horny and keeps telling me my uterus is ready for mating..." she said and broke off.
After a few moments, she realized what she had said. Did she really say that in front of her mate? What the hell is wrong with her?
Her she-wolf heard this and could not help but feel second-hand embarrassment for her. Maybe it was for her, but whatever the case, she shook her head in shame.
Are you serious? You want to judge her while you yourself are shaking your ass in the air?
He raised an eyebrow in amusement at her behavior.
Why is he still not talking? She wants to hear her boyfriend's voice, damn it!
"Are you shy?" she asked softly.
He shook his head no.
Okay. So if he's not shy, why is he not talking? Weird.
She began to worry because it was the first time she had met someone who did not speak right off the bat. Especially if it was your partner, that was unusual.
This time she wished she could make a mind connection with him, but there are certain requirements to make a mind connection with someone like your mate. You must mate with him and mark him in order to make a mind connection. This includes being in the same pack. This is what makes the connection special and distinguishes it from a mind connection with others. You have to work harder at it.
As far as she knows, Seth did not mate or mark her. They are just in the same pack. How frustrating.
Sighing, she blinked at Seth. Maybe he's playing a little trick on her? Does he want her to play with him or something, to hear his voice? She think he finally understood how confused she was, because he pointed to his neck. Even more confused, she asked. "What's wrong with your neck?"
He just kept pointing at his neck and making all kinds of strange movements. For example, he opened his mouth, shook his head, and made a croaking motion with his hand.
After a few minutes, she understood what he was getting at.
Shock came over her. Her once calm features were overcome with horror.
"You... can not speak? You are mute?"
Seth nodded his head slowly, as if afraid of her reaction. Being mute is rare among werewolves. No one has seen or heard of it for a long time. The runners of the pack were sometimes mute, but that was solved later. No Alpha or Luna was ever mute, at least that's what she had heard. The encounter with Seth changes things.
"What happened to you? Did this happen while I was gone?" she was shocked and did not know how to respond.
She will still love him, but he can not speak. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes, but she held them back. Why was she crying if he's mute? He is the victim here.
Overwhelmed by all the feelings, she let a tear run down her cheek.
This also upset Seth, who looked around frowning and waving his hands anxiously. He did not know how to comfort her, but he stared at her with such concern. Was he worried that she was disappointed because he was mute?
She could see the mixture of sadness and concern he felt for her.
She shook her head, "I am not crying because I am disappointed that you are mute. Just about how you have become mute. I do not even know what happened to you."
He said nothing and smiled at her. Behind that smile was great pain. He could not say anything because he could not.
Her companion, who is the alpha animal, is mute.
She looked up and met his gaze. His eyes were full of sadness before he beckoned her into his office. He motioned her to follow him, which she did.
Her buddy grabbed a notepad and pen and scribbled on it. It seems he was prepared. Right, when you are mute, you need another way to communicate.
Seth turned the notepad over. On it were three words and only three words. Those three words broke her heart as she stared at him in horror once again.
'Because of her'
