The Lycan Kings Mute Mate

Aurora's POV

As I stepped into the bathroom, the sweet smell of Jasmine filled the air. The warm light of the candles illuminated the room making my skin feel at peace.

The tender hand of my right handmaid, Elena gently loses the lace of my corset and I watched as the dress fell on the floor revealing my body to the maids.

I climbed into the tub and let the warm water calm my body. I had a long day, today was I and Elijah's sixth wedding anniversary and I had to plan the party.

"My lady, what do you plan on doing tonight?" Elena, my best friend asked as she poured warm rose and milk water on my hair.

After the death of my mother, I had to move in with my Father and step family and that was how I met Elena, she was a maid there and we became friends.

"Did they arrange Elijah's room yet?" I asked in sign language.

I was able to hear but I couldn't speak, I was mute, people of the pack called me dumb and never respected me because of it.

Everyone of my personal maids and guards had to learn sign language to communicate with me but my husband Elijah didn't bother, he just has people interpret it for him.

"No, we weren't able to arrange the room, Alpha Elijah was busy in his room," Elena explained, I forced a smile on my face and nodded my head in understanding.

He was always busy in his room, I knew he was busy with his mistress and it hurt so much. Ever since I got married to Elijah, we haven't consummated our marriage and we have never shared a room.

Time was running out and I needed to keep my place as the Luna of this pack, I had a little respect because of him and I didn't want to return to my family so I needed to consummate our marriage tonight and carry an heir.

"Aurora!! Aurora!!" Elijah yelled as he stepped into the bathroom, "Leave this minute!!" he yelled at everyone. My eyes fell on his body and he was wearing a trouser and a blue robe that wasn't buttoned.

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked Elena as she was about to leave, "Who is going to interpret what this dummy is saying?"

I felt a painful feeling in my chest when I heard him say dummy, his insult isn't new but I kept feeling pain everytime he said something.

"Come out, I'm talking to you and cover up," Elijah looked at me with disgust as those words left his mouth.

I immediately felt self conscious of my body, Elena passed me a cloth, I came out of the tub and used it to wrap around my wet and soapy body.

"Why did you enter my room? You know I hate those flowers, why did you tell them to arrange my room?" Elijah's face reddened with anger, "You always do that nonsense every year."

"You must be angry? I'm sorry, I was just arranging your room so we could spend the night together," I explained feeling guilty and Elena interpreted for him.

The guilt went through the window as I saw Elijah burst into laughter, "You think I would spend the night with you in my room?"

Those words hurt like paper cutting through the flesh but I kept my feeling outside, "You are such an annoying fool, just get ready for the event."

"I'm tired, let's not argue, just get ready for the event," Elena interpreted what I didn't say and I stared in disbelief. She has always done that ever since we were kids.

Elena had learnt sign language because of me, I wasn't always mute but circumstances made me this way and ever since she learnt sign language, she always interpreted what she wanted to the people who didn't understand it.

"Let me warn you," Elijah took threatening step to me and pointed his finger at my face, "Don't you ever step foot into my room again else you will face my wrath, you keep forgetting you were sold to me," Elijah hissed, his shoulder bumped into me and I lose my balance a bit as he walked out of the bathroom.

"My lady, are you okay?" Elena rushed and held me.

Elijah was always this way, he was constantly reminding me that my stepmother had sold me to him in exchange for power for both packs.
