The Mute Luna: The Rise Of Skye

she came after me

Skye’s P.O.V.

I wanted to laugh aloud, but I did not have enough strength to do that. We have been engaged for five months and Arthur never bothered to even say a word to me, let alone have a conversation.

So, how could he remember that I am mute, and use phone, paper, or sign language to communicate with others?

I didn’t know where my phone was.

It must be somewhere in the mansion because they kidnapped me from my room.

I moved my face in the other direction and closed my eyes.

We barely interacted with each other. Yet, I always felt myself drowning in his cold, crystal eyes.

The stillness in there always intrigued me.

I chose not to speak to save my life. What happened to him that he became so cold that his eyes looked lifeless?

He should have gone by now, but he was still sitting in the same place.

For some reason, his proximity was weirdly affecting me.

“Where is your phone?” he asked me calmly after some time.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him blankly.

I guess he understood his mistake because the next second, he took his phone out and gave it to me.

Even if I took some strength from Hunter, I was still too tired to stay awake for a long time, and it seemed that the almighty Alpha Arthur Froste suddenly remembered that I am also a part of this pack now, and above all, I am engaged to him.

Still, I couldn’t forget his refusal to the kidnappers.

I took the phone from him and typed what I wanted to say to him.

[They kidnapped me from…]

I paused and looked around in confusion.

Till now, I didn’t realize that I wasn’t in my room.

I deleted the previous answer and typed the question.

“You don’t need to ask that. You are in my room. From now on, you will stay here with me.” He spoke softly, his voice firm, but I forgot to breathe.

I slowly looked in his direction in a daze, processing what he just said.

“You heard me right. Now tell me where your phone is?” he asked me again, impatience evident in his voice this time.

I wanted him to explain why he suddenly thought about this, but I held my thoughts.

Arthur never explained anything to anyone. This would be the first time that I had heard him speak so much.

[In my room or with kidnappers…. I don’t know]

I handed him the phone and slowly closed my eyes.

“Can your wolf mind-link?” I snapped open my eyes in fear.

Everyone knew that I was an omega because of whatever my mother did to me before she died.

It also suppressed Mora’s ability to mind-link because that could expose her real identity.

I shook my head negatively but winced in pain.

“Rest for now. We have plenty of time to talk.” Arthur spoke to me and slowly stood up.

I was hungry, but I didn’t know how to tell him.

Ever since I came here, I've always had a decent meal compared to what I got in my pack.

Yet I had to wait until all the members of the alpha family had their fill during every meal.

He walked out of the room, and I sighed in response.

My stomach rumbled slowly right after he closed the door.

“What luck?” I spoke to myself in a very low voice, fearing that anyone would listen to me.

I closed my eyes and slowly lifted my hand to my stomach.

I patted it lightly to ease my hunger, but I was healing, and my body needed nourishment.

“Forget it, Skye. This isn’t the first time that you have to stay hungry until someone remembers about you,” I mumbled to myself, rubbing my stomach gently.

The mattress was more comfortable than the one they gave me in that guest room.

“Mora,” I called my wolf in a low voice, feeling a bit sleepy again.

I sighed when she didn’t reply to me.

“Thanks, Mora. Thanks for saving me again.” I still thanked her wholeheartedly.

I opened my eyes when the outside door opened again.

I stiffened when I smelled a very familiar scent.

“Good evening, Luna.” She greeted me sarcastically.

I grimaced, but there was nothing that I could do right now except watch her come inside with a food tray in her hand.

Winona, an omega by rank who worked in a kitchen, could be counted as my second-biggest bully after Hunter.

Both Hunter and Winona had sworn to make my life hell here.

She hated me the most because I was engaged to the alpha despite being an omega, and she was stuck in the kitchen.

She always found a way to bully me by taking advantage of my muteness.

No one paid attention to me here. So, I had to endure every humiliation.

By instinct, fear engulfed my heart when she took predatory steps towards me.

The mansion had different mandatory uniforms for every employee here.

All the kitchen staff had to wear a black shirt and black skirt or pants.

Winona had shortened the length of her skirt to a light over her mid-thigh, displaying the full length of her slender legs.

“Wow! I am sure that you are feeling smug now, and why not? Alpha finally let you stay in his bedroom,” she taunted me, twisting her face at a weird angle, her eyes filled with hatred and malice.

She stopped beside the bed and looked at me from head to toe, enraged by the sight of me on Arthur’s bed.

I tightened my grip on the fabric on my stomach in fear.

I couldn’t even scream if she decided to do something bad to me.

She put the tray on the nightstand while snarling at me lowly.

I was now breathing heavily, but it was hurting my ribcage.

I yelped in pain and fear, but no voice came out of my mouth when she yanked the sheet away from my body.

“Oh, my! Look at you.” She exclaimed excitedly, widening her eyes in excitement, facepalming her face while inspecting my whole body.

I wanted to shift far away from her, but bullies thrived on the fear and pain of their prey.

I tried to scream, but except for that gagging type of voice, nothing came out of my mouth.

This was what my mother did to me.

I couldn’t make any kind of voice in front of a person.

“What piece of work have they done to your body, huh?” she exclaimed excitedly, eyeing my body as if she were admiring an artwork.

I felt filthy and humiliated under her gaze.

“Arthur,” I screamed for Arthur in my heart, wishing that he would come back for any reason.

Even if the reason for taking me out of the room, I wanted him to come back and save me from this maniac.

She suddenly grabbed my arm, dug her nails inside my skin so forcefully that I screamed at the top of my lungs, but nothing came out of my mouth.

She pulled me out of the bed harshly and threw me across the room like she was throwing a potato sack.

I flew towards the wall behind her, but the distance was still far.

I immediately wrapped my hands around my head before my body collided with the wall and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Pain shot up throughout every muscle of my body, and I curled up on the floor.

“Do you want to cry for help, Skye?” she asked me sarcastically, anger and excitement evident in her voice, but I was in so much pain that I didn’t register a single word.

“You should have died there, Skye. Because of you, Alpha punished Alpha Hunter, and now he was in so much pain.” She continued, but this time…

I registered Hunter’s name.

No one knew, but I knew that she also worked as a s*x slave for Hunter.

So, this was about avenging Hunter, huh?

If she had a problem with that, she should have talked to Arthur. Why did she after me?

I screamed in a muffled, gagging voice again when she suddenly grabbed my hair at the back of my head and yanked my head up.
