The Alpha’s Mute Mate
Episode 56

BROOKE

I can’t believe the growl that came from Hudson’s dad, he even told everyone that I was not allowed to go anywhere near his son.

I can see the doctor come out who huffs out his frustration but he sees me around the corner and walks over “I’m sorry if you heard all that” he says.

I can’t even look at him, more tears flow freely down my face.

He kneels in front of me “I will let you see him” he says as he looks over his shoulder “Stay here for a little while, visiting hours will be ending in a few minutes and I will let you in.”

I nod.

“Brooke, you are his mate. Your mate bond can help heal faster” he says and sighs “Everyone is just caught up in what they think they saw no one has asked you what really happened yet, have they?” he says.

I nod again.

He pats my knee and gets up “Stay here, I will be back to get you” he says and turns away.

I close my eyes but I can hear shouting coming from Hudson’s room, my mother is completely angry at them all.

“I think you all need to leave now,” says the doctor “Hudson needs to rest and all this is not going to help him.”

I can hear footsteps leaving the room. I slowly get up as the pack doctor comes closer to me “You can see him now Brooke” he says.

I walk around the corner and enter the room; Hudson looks pale and so vulnerable in the bed. I walk over to the side of the bed. I place my hand in his and I can feel the mate bond working between us. The tingles run through me like electricity needing to be free.

Willow has been on edge and wants to get out of the pack due to the way everyone has been treating me. But I don’t want to leave. I feel like I have a home, well I did before all this started, even though it has been a few days of dealing with stuff but after this morning I honestly thought I was getting somewhere with Hudson. I also reconnected with Daisy too but that seems to have gone down the drain since a few hours ago. The scared look on her face said a thousand words.

Thinking about it, I still haven’t seen my father. I’m assuming that he is still in the cells. Also, there is Alanna too, I want to know what she knows.

I check the clock on the wall and notice I have to leave but the door opens to Luna Sophia, who looks back at me startled.

“Brooke, what are you doing here?” She asks quietly.

I let go of Hudson’s hand but I close my eyes to let Willow come through, she hisses at Luna who takes a step back and feels slightly scared of us “We are here to see mate” she says.

Willow looks back at Luna Sophia and gets up, she leans over to Hudson pushing me through as I place a k**s on his forehead, a few tears escape my eyes and land on him.

I look at his face and promised I would be ok and I would make sure I help him somehow.

I move away and walk out of the room only to stop by the side of the Luna and only mouth “I’m sorry” to her.

I walk out through the door and head back to the packhouse but I don’t go to my mother’s room just yet, I head to Austin’s. I knock and he answers the door to me, he looks slightly stunned to see me.

He steps out and looks in both directions to make sure no one has seen me, well that’s great even he doesn’t want anything to do with me now.

“Brooke what are you doing here?” He asks in a whisper “If Tasha finds you here, she will…..” I cut him off my touching his arm “I need to tell you something about what happened, Madison mentioned Cody to me” I mouthed to him.

His eyes grew wider at the mention of his brother’s name, he pulls me in and closes the door behind me.

“What happened?” He asks “Why would she mention Cody for?”

I look towards the notebook that was sitting out which I assumed was free and sit at the table to write, it didn’t take too long to write everything.

Austin read the notebook but he sits on the bed and looks back at me “You gained a power which made everyone turn to ash” he says in astonishment.

“It is to do with what Willow and I am” I mouth.

He looks back at the notebook and then back to me “What was in that injection?” He asks, all I could do was shrug but mouthed “It was meant for me” I say “Hudson got in the way and Madison stabbed him with it instead.”

Austin stays quiet for a moment but glares at me “Madison lied to you about Cody being with them, I found him when you were away” he says “I would have told you this as I know you looked after him while my mother was doing whatever she was doing but all this and that happened.”

I frown but hold my hand out to him for the notebook back as I write something else “You could have told me earlier.”

Austin reads it but looks back at me “You need to leave, Tasha will be here and she is not to happy with everything that has happened.”

I look back at him and mouth “Are you going to ask me what happened?”

Austin looks at us but a frown forms “Why?” he says “I don’t need to hear any of this, I want to know but I know my mate will be here soon and she will not be happy if she sees you” he says. I can feel the fear running off him.

He is afraid of me. It has nothing to do with Tasha, he is scared of me.

I can feel tears prick at the back of my eyes “I’m your sister” I mouth.

Austin doesn’t look at me, he just turns his head.

I walk out Austin’s bedroom and head to my mother’s but no one is there.

I get up and leave his room closing the door behind me; the tears I have held back are now flowing.

I have had enough of this; I need to stretch my legs. I can’t go to my mother’s like this. I knew where I wanted to go, I wanted to see Hudson.

I head to the hospital, I know he might have visitors but even if I can see a glimpse of him through the window I know I will be fine.

As I walk into the hospital, I walk closer to the door but it is a jar, there are voices inside “She was here” says the Alpha in an angry voice.

“Yeah she was,” Luna Sophia says in a shaky voice “She scared me.”

“Brooke scares me too father,” says Daisy as my eyes go wider and more tears slide down my face. They were all afraid of me.

I can feel Willow come closer to listen in.

“We need to know what they are,” says Rex “This pack is in danger and it’s all because of them.”

“We should make Danica and Brooke tell us what they are,” says the alpha.

I can’t take anymore; I turn around but I see my mother looking back at me. She heard everything they had said too, her face angry and full of rage but I can feel her phoenix trying to come through.

I walk over to my mum and wrap my arms around her, I need my mum.

My mother wraps her arms around me and holds me tight “I got you baby girl” she says into my ear. But she moves slightly and lifts my head with her hands on either side of my face for me to look at her “You are not alone in this” she says and looks over my head “Let’s go to our room.”

I nod not looking back.

We walk back to the room and once we were instead my mum closes her door “Brooke, have you see Hudson?” she asks.

I don’t have to say anything as my face must have said it all.

She gives me a small smile “Your tears are healing him” she says suddenly while taking a seat on the bed “I overheard the doctor saying he is making more of a recovery but I assumed that he was healing by himself but now I know it is from you” she said.

I look back at her in confusion “What do you mean?” I mouth to her, she pats the bed next to her and I walk over to sit next to her.

“Our tears can heal people but whatever was injected into Hudson has him stuck inside his body. I can feel him but he seems to be locked” she says.

I look at her “Can I help him?” I mouth.

She stares at the door for a moment and then looks back at me “I think you can, Joe and Adonis are going to speak to the Alpha and Luna Sophia while we go and see if we can heal him.”

After a few moments, there was a text coming through on her phone and she smiles “We can go now” she says.

We leave her room and head straight back to the hospital; I hope we can do something.

I want Hudson to be alright.
