The Alpha’s Mute Mate
Episode 42

BROOKE

I slowly move around but suddenly I realize I’m lying on something really soft.

Suddenly like if my brain remembers, I recall all that happened, remembering where I was before I fell asleep, my eyes shot open and I’m upright. I rub my eyes to focus and I look around and I realize I am in a bedroom.

Suddenly the door creaks open and Joe sticks his head around the corner “Ah you are awake” he says as he opens the door wider to walk in.

He has a big smile on his face “you have been asleep for over 24 hours.”

I look back at him shocked. I have never slept in before. I must have needed the sleep, but something catches my eye behind Joe, movement.

I soon realize that he’s not alone; I can sense someone with him.

Behind him is another man, he has the same features as Joe but he has fairer hair and lighter eyes, Joe realizes that I’m looking behind him and smiles widely “Brooke, this is my brother Hunter, Hunter this is Brooke.”

Hunter steps around his brother and smiles “It is nice to finally meet you my dear, my brother talks a lot about you, you must have loads of questions for us but I must ask you if I could meet your counterpart.”

I look up at him in surprise at his forwardness about Willow.

“I will deal with him,” she says looking through my eyes “He won’t be doing that again in a hurry.”

I close my eyes and Willow pushes through.

My eyes spring open to reveal black orbs looking back at them.

Joe smiles but Hunter is taken back.

“Next time you talk to my human like that again, I will tear your throat out,” she says.

“I thought you said that Brooke couldn’t talk,” he says, turning to Joe.

“I have my own voice, I tried to save Brooke when she was attacked when she was a young child but my powers were not enough to heal her voice box,” she says, glaring at Hunter.

Hunter was taken back by her forwardness “Now that I have gotten your attention. You know what we are right” she says and they both nod.

She sighs “No one in the human world must know not yet Brooke has been sworn to hold it in. We nearly have all our power and we will reveal ourselves to them soon but after all the crap she has been through, she might not want to go back” she says.

“I don’t know Willow,” I say to her “Hudson and my father hurt me, I need to think about it all”

Willow stares at them.

“Brooke was tortured by the people that we are here to hide from. They found out what we are somehow. We don’t know how. I am certain of that part but Brooke was also hurt mostly by her mate and father, people who were supposed to be her saviors. She finds it hard to give forgive to them or anyone else” she says.

Hunter’s eyes look back in sadness “She doesn’t need to fear us or neither do you. In this realm you are safe. There are many different kinds of shifters out there and I think you might like to meet one in particular, she has been waiting for you” he says with a smile.

“Who is he on about?” I ask Willow.

“I don’t know Brooke,” she says.

“Who is this person?” she asks him.

Joe steps forward “I think Brooke needs to see for herself.”

Willow closes her eyes and I’m pushed forward.

I open my eyes; Joe smiles back at me “I think you need to see for yourself.”

“Ok, I want to meet this person,” I mouthed to him.

Both men look at me with huge smiles, “Get changed and we will meet the person”

I get up off the bed and head into the bathroom. Joe helped me work out how to use everything, once I was showered and dressed. Both men waited outside the door. We walked down a long corridor that was filled with paintings of scenery and people. I’m in my element here with all of them. Joe can sense my happiness, “I will tell you all about the paintings later, you need to meet this person” he says.

I nod and follow them down the corridor.

We entered a big, massive room.

In the middle of the room a woman pacing back and forth with her back to us, she was wearing a dress that went up to her knees. She had brown hair like me which was long.

She turns around and stares at me.

I’m rooted to the spot as I see her.

She can’t be here.

She died.

She looks at me, she smiles.

I can’t move.

She takes a step towards me but I move back.

She can’t be alive.

Due to my step back she stops, c***s her head to the side.

Hunter and Joe look between us. Not speaking.

“Brooke,” she says softly.

I close my eyes, a tear escapes my eye.

“Brooke, look at me,” she says softly again.

I open my eyes.

She is still as gorgeous as ever.

She is still the person who protected me from that monster even though he killed her.

“Mum” I mouth out, as my mouth drops open at the sight of her.
