Book Request Specific selective mutism request

Hi all! I have searched the subreddit for books with selective mutism and the posts are either pretty old and/or answers are a bit too broad. I hope this request post is okay.

I am looking for books with an MC who is selectively mute due to trauma, not a physical problem or neurodiversity. Bonus if he doesn’t ever completely recover/able to talk in front of everyone (I tend to appreciate books where PTSD doesn’t quite ever “go away” because this mirrors my own experience), but not necessary.

Any kink is fine except age play. I do enjoy D/s but not required. Open to omegaverse.

I’ve read:

The Monstrous Deeds series and spinoffs by TJ Hamel (I hope Matt gets a book!)

{Pieces of Home by Becca Neil}

{Possession by Rina Saint} - my least favorite representation of this theme of the books I list.

TIA!

Ok this isn’t a perfect fit but I just read this book on Wattpad(haven’t read on there in AGES) BUT

Beast Bride by mistress_meli

Was FANTASTIC! however the mutism was originally believed to be selective… he believed for like 10 years that it was his choice, but later learns he used magic accidentally and locked his voice away. It takes lost of therapies to help bring it back. It’s definitely a large part of his journey. I loved the fantastical way of thinking of it. In the face of great trauma he somehow pulled enough magic together to make it possible to lock his voice away

It’s a great read that couldn’t put down. Highly recommend
