My Mute Love

Chapter 12

Don't worry guys, I hate me too. If you care to know what has been happening in my life, you can read the author's note at the end. I'm a pretty shitty person for making you all wait so long. So without further adieu...

*~Prue's POV~*

I've never been a fan of roller coasters. The way your stomach drops when you start to free fall after a large hill. Or the pounding in your chest that you get when you feel like you are going to fly out of your seat. I have been to the fair a few times, when my pack allowed it, or Shanley would sneak me out. Whenever we went however, she forced me on those wretched metal death traps with the excuse that she "needed a partner." It never failed that every time we went on one, I would scream profanities at her through the mind-link and because she felt bad, she would promise that she would never make me do it again...until the next year.

No, I have never really liked roller coasters, because they gave me the feeling of dread. The regret of knowing I made a bad decision and wishing I could go back.

The feeling I have now.

'Shanley what have I done! I just agreed to go out with him without even thinking. Since when do I do that?' I yelled through the mind-link.

She watched from the doorway as I paced through my new room with a smile on her face. One that only got bigger the more I ranted.

"He just wants to talk to you Prue, explain himself for what he did." Pushing herself of the door frame, she made her way towards me and grabbed my shoulders halting my movements.

"Look, just take a deep breath and calm down. I will stay relatively close and you can mind-link me if you start to feel uncomfortable. I will come immediately." She stared at me intently, forcing me to listen to her words. "You need to give him a chance Prue."

'Why? So that I can get my hopes up only to be crushed when he finds out? You know that the moment he sees my scars that he will demand answers. Answers that I can't give him. What then? Do you really think that he will just take my silence and go on his merry way like nothing ever happened?'

Shanley slowly let go of me and gestured for me to sit on the bed. "He won't command you Prue. I won't let him do that. You can tell him when you are ready."

'You won't always be there to protect me Shanley.'

I could feel her sadness through our mind-link but she didn't show it. "I can try." I smiled at her softly, knowing that wasn't the case but allowing myself to believe it for the time being.

We both fell backwards on my new bed looking at the ceiling. It was honestly the most comfortable bed I have ever been on. Although I don't think the hospital bed and my cot back home are much to compare it to.

Home. That place is not my home anymore.

I almost passed out when I walked into my new room. Shanley walked me here after our encounter with Alpha Mason. Apparently it was in the Alpha's wing. The outer doors of the wing were adorned with what I can only guess is a familial Crest. It was a black wolf in a howling position standing proud and strong. There was a series of vines and leaves littered around it that were green. The inner shield that held the black wolf was dark grey with a blue ribbon across the top that presented the family name: Grey.

After passing through the doors and into the wing, there was a long hallway that held many doors and all had the same familial crest . As we walked down the hallway to what I had assumed was my room, we stopped in between two doors. I couldn't help but notice that the double doors on the left smelled of the forest and rain. My body - much to my surprise - subconsciously swayed towards the double doors. When I looked at this particular doors crest, I noticed a slight difference. The ribbon said 'Alpha.'
