Alphas Muted Mate

Chapter5

***Ivy***

{Six Months Later}

"Yes, Mom, we plan to come visit soon. Brand is just super busy with patrols, and he and Jake have been doing more with the training. Alpha Monroe is thinking of promoting them to head trainers." I sign to my mother as we are video chatting, something we do about three times a week since I left six months ago.

I see the scowl on Brandon's mother's face when she watches me with my mother, Betty, and me do not have the best of relationships, I guess she felt Brandon should be with some one who isn't a hinder to him as she likes to call it, She was not happy to hear i couldn't speak, but she forgot i could hear just not talk, she would complain to Brandon about me all the time, he would stand up for me and not let her run over me, But it still didnt stop the hurt, and to top it she lives with us, How wonderful is that,

"Alright, sweetie, just let me know when you are coming. I miss seeing you," The phone shifts as my father's face comes into view,

"We both miss you. Make sure you take care of yourself. Love you, kid."

Nodding at my father, smiling at him,

They both wave, saying bye as we cut the call.

I hear Betty let out a scoff, "I think it's rude that your parents want my Brandon to travel back there so soon, I mean, really, you have only been here such a short amount of time." She rolls her eyes,

This is the other thing she does since she moved in, Its always her Brandon, When Brand came to me two months ago saying his mother wasnt doing good I didnt hesitate for her to stay with us, I wanted her to like me and i thought this would be a good way for her to see me in a way she wouldn't think i was a burned to Brandon, But boy was i wrong,

I would say something to her, but she already told me she has no interest in learn any kind of sign language. I tried writing out my response to her, but she would swat the board away, so after a few weeks of trying, I just said the hell with it and ignored her.

I do not tell Brandon all the things she says to me. I dont want to seem like im a tattle tale, so I push them to the side and go on about my day,

I hear a knock on the door. Moving to answer it, pulling it open, I see Clarrisa standing there, holding the groan that threatens to leave me,

"Oh, Ivy, Betty linked me, saying to stop by,"

"Clarissa, is that you? Just come on in," I hear Betty call out from the other room. Pushing past me before I can move for her, she walks in, She another one that is not a fan of me, She is mated to Brandons twin brother, she is always sticking her nose up at me, I guess the three of them where super close before i came into the picture, now with Brandon attention on me she wasnt liking the fact that she didnt have it all to her self, She has even went as far as telling me that they thought they would share a mate seeing as they are twins and that if Brandon wouldn't have came home with me that he was going to take her as his chosen mate and Jake was fine with it,

"Betty," She gushes as she hurries over to her. They hug, sitting down on the couch,

"Ivy, go grab us some drinks," Betty calls out with a wave of her hand, like im the hired help or something. Shaking my head, I throw my hands up, spinning, I walk back to the kitchen.

Gathering some drinks, Brandon's voice fills my head, "Babe, what's going on?" Not feeling the whole linking thin,g I grab my phone and fire off a text, I know he is leading a training class with Jake, So he has his phone, Some times when i link my words are jumbo seeing as i do not use them out loud it makes linking challagning at time,

My phone chimed just as I was about to pick up the tray. It was a text from Brand,

{Babe, dont let them get to you. I will be home here shortly, and then we can go spend some time together.}

I couldn't help the smile on my face at seeing his words, I was worried he would always take their sides seeing as i was the new comer but he had always stood up for me, He didnt bat a eye at my lack of voice, which i was also worried about, But he was charming and loving, never did he look at me any different,

sending him a smily face with a simple ok i picked up the tray walking back to the living room, Stopping when i heard them talking and my name was mentioned,

"I know what you mean. She is such a hindrance to him, I wish he hadn't found her, then you three would have been a mated couple," Betty says. You can hear the hatred in her voice.

"I couldn't agree with you more, I thought Brandon wouldn't go to that ball, I mean we had spoken about it and he seemed like he was all for it, but then at the last minute he went," Clarrisa whined, yes whined like a child,

"NO need to worry, dear, im working on a plan to get rid of her, I will not have my boy mated to that thing, and risk the chances of my grandbabies being born defective."

My hands shook as the tray did as well. She thinks I was born this way, She knows what happened, Brandon told her, even my parents did when we did a group video chat.

"I hope it's soon, cause not having Brandon's attention hurts. I have fallen in love with both of them. We were so close, I mean, we spent that one together, and I thought that sealed the deal."

My sotmcha dropped, Brandon slept with his brother's mate. And Jake was okay with it, and what plan is his mother talking about? Brandon and I are mated and marked. That was done once we got back here. I have already become a member of the pack,

"Ivy," Brandon's voice comes again, but dont say anything, nor do I get my phone out, I just stand there frozen in place. I feel sick to my stomach like im going to puke,

"Ivy, talk to me, what's wrong?"

Steeling my spine, I walk in, holding my head high,

"It's about time, we have been waiting," Betty snipped at me. I didn't acknowledge her, I just set the tray on the small table, I didnt sphare them a glance.

Standing up i turned on my heel walking out of the room, heading for the back door, going out it, I kept moving across our small yard, heading for the trees, My wolf was whimpering in my head, hearing that Brandon had slept with that woman and hearing what those two were saying.

"Babe, if you do not answer me, im coming home."

I pushed him out of my head putting up my blocks I didnt want to hear his voice or did i want to talk to him, He never told me about this or that he was thinking of taking her as his mate as well, I know twins can have the same mate its not unheard of but hearing them talk like i came in a stoled him it hurt, I felt like i was in the wrong coming here, Maybe i shouldn't have maybe i should have stayed home and made him reject me, then i wouldn't have messed up all their plans,

Shifting, I take off, letting my wolf take the lead; she needed space and to work off the hurt and frustration she was feeling.
