Alphas Deaf Mate
Chapter 104

Autumn

I couldn't keep my mind from wondering and worrying about what this head council guy was going to say,

I found myself pacing the room when I heard a knock.

"It's open,"

The door opened and Kelly stuck her head in.

"Hey you, I just wanted to let you know we are out here if you need anything,"

"You guys don't have to stay out there. Come in here and keep me company."

Hearing her laugh, she pushed the door open and walked in, waving over her shoulder,

: Come on in."

"Kelly Alpha said to guard the door!" Oscar's stern voice is loud and clear,

"But the Luna says we are to come in," She says back.

"Kelly," he growled, but then there was another growl. "Man stop yelling at my mate,"

Kelly laughed as well as I did. I missed them.

Walking in behind Kelly was Brad. He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her temple.

She smiled at him. "Thank you, babe, I love hearing you stand up for me,"

"Ugh get a room you two," Nick pushed past them as he went in, walking over to the small sitting area. He flops down,

"Ahh poor Nicky, don't worry you will replace your mate soon," Kelly pinches his cheek. He swats at her hand while graining at what she is doing,

"Brad your mate is touching me!" Nick whines to Brad, but all he gets is a shoulder shrug from Brad.

I let them three continue with their badgering of each other. Walking to the door, I peeked out to see Oscar standing there,

"Oscar, why are you standing out here?'

Looking at me, he crossed his arms. " Cause Alpha gave orders to stand guard at the door not to go in and play,"

That kinda of rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think he meant it in the wrong way, but it still pissed me off,

Walking out, I stopped right in front of him, placing my hands on my hips, c*****g to the side a little,

"Is there a problem with asking my friends to join me in the room, or are you now too good to be my friend that I can't ask you to come in and visit me?"

His expression changed at my words, " No Autumn, it's not like that," He began to say, but I was upset that he was treating me like another duty or order and not as a friend or the fact that he was one of my protectors, but first and more importantly, he was my first friend.

Holding my hand up," Save it, Oscar, if you wish to stay out here, then so be it," I spun around, and walked back into the room, slamming the door shut. Causing the other three to jump with how hard I slammed it, going over and plopping down next to Kelly, I huffed out in annoyance.

"No Oscar?" Nick asked,

Shaking my head, "Nope he can't come play right now, he's on duty." I gritted out crossing my arms.

Feeling an arm go around me, I knew it was Kelly. "Hey, don't worry. He just stressed a little with Gracie, so he's kinda been a jerk"

Snapping my head towards her, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing major. He just feels the bond a lot more than she does because she is younger than him and his wolf is restless having to wait, so it's just making him cranky."

"Well, even he still shouldn't be a d**k to his friends."

Everyone busted out laughing at that." Hey, there's no need for name-calling,"

Looking over, I see Oscar standing there.

"Oh hey look who decided to come play," Nick poked fun at him,

Walking over, he swatted Nick upside his head, "Shut it, man, At least I was someone's s*x toy!"

"Ouch that's got to hurt," Brad coughed and laughed while Kelly held her hand over her mouth, trying not to laugh.

"Oh we are going there, are we? Hey Brad, do you remember the time we went to the club and Oscar had that lady who wore way to much makeup? She was all over Oscar kissing him and s**t," Brad's face was red as he just nodded his head,

"Nick, don't you even dare!" But he wasn't fast enough." That lady turned out to be a dude!"

All three busted out laughing as Oscar stood there ready to kill Nick. I was just looking at them.

"Wait wait," I held my hand up, " Please don't tell me you did anything with that person,,"

Oscar's face paled and the others cracked up even more,

"Oh, he did indeed," Nick piped up again,

"Nick', Oscar growled,

"And when the pants came off it was a different ball game,"

"Oh my god, Oscar, did you sleep with a dude?" I couldn't help but blurt out,

Oscar gagged, "Oh God no Autumn. I ran out of there like my a*s was on fire and left her standing there yelling my name,"

"Where is there?"

"In the men's bathroom," Nick chimed in again,

"Oscar!"

"What we were all drunk and I was stupid, but I have never done that again!"

"I don't know what to say, but wow Oscar, there is a different side I never knew about."

Punching Nick in the arm, he walked over and sat down next to me.

"I'm sorry Autumn, I didn't mean anything by what I said."

Giving him a small shove, "It's okay. Next time just talk to me, you guys were my first friends here. You mean a lot to me."

Bumping his shoulder against mine," I will, I promise,"

There was a knock at the door, Oscar stood going over pulling it open.

"Zach?" Oscar says as he takes a step back. Hearing my brother's name, I got up and walked over as he stepped into the room,

I could see something was wrong, " Zach what is it?"

"The council guy is asking to meet with you,"

At those words, all four of my friends were at my side,

"What does he want to meet her for?" Oscar asked.

I don't know but he doesn't seem like a bad person, but the other council guy let it out about your power and I don't think Alpha was ready to share that,"

"What should I do?"

"We need to go down, but I'll stay there the whole time, as are you four."

"Okay," Zach held his hand out to me. I took it and he looped it over his forearm, leading me out of the room and toward Reins' office. The closer we got, the more nervous I felt.

Zach knocked on the door jam as we walked in. The instant Reins saw me, he was up and, to me in no time,

Pulling me into a hug, I could feel him sniff my neck. He took a deep breath. Pulling back, he looked down at me,

He took my hand, leading me over to his desk where there sat a man. I couldn't really read the expression on his face, but he gave me a soft smile,

"Autumn, this is Council Leader Ryker Johnson," Reins introduced us,

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Autumn," He held his hand out to me,

"Gem'. I called her, not knowing what to do. "It's okay. I don't feel he's going to cause us harm."

Reaching my hand out, I took his, shaking it. But when our hands touched, there was a rush of energy that ripped through my hand from his. I quickly pulled my hand back, looking at him confused. Reins didn't miss it either, as he pulled me behind him, Zach then grabbed me, spinning me around to Kelly and before I knew it, I was being blocked by all of them.

The Ryker guy was holding his hands up. "Easy guys, it's just our wolves saying hello. Nothing more."

"Gem, What was that?"

"Autumn is okay, he's one of us."

I walked around everyone, "You are a Silver Wolf!" I asked as Reins grabbed my arm, stopping me from getting closer.

The guy gave me a smile and a little nod.

"Yes, I am,"

"What? How's that possible?" Reins asked as he pulled me to his side,

"Well, you see, for the longest time I thought I was the only one, but when I arrived here, my world sensed another one who was like us. And once the other guy talked about powers, I figured it must have been your mate who was like me," Reins looked at me, "Did you know?"

"She wouldn't have known because that's a power she hasn't unlocked yet,"

"But she said you were one of us," I said to him,

"Yes, once we touched and my wolf reached hers. It's the energy we silver wolves have running through our blood,"

He looked up at the group of people standing behind him,

"I see you have your Protector," he said, looking at Zach.

"Oh no he's not who we picked," I told him. He just looked puzzled,

"Oh I'm sorry, I just figured how guarded you were earlier about her. I assumed you were picked."

"No, Gem has chosen them," I said, pointing to my four friends,

He looked shocked, " Four protectors."

He stood there blinking.

"Is that not normal?" Reins asked as he looked between me and him,

"I'm Sorry you did say your wolf's name was Gem."

"Yes," I said, not really sure where this was going.

He suddenly closed his eyes, then a second later he opened them. They were crystal clear like mine. The power coming from him was strong but not as strong as ours gets sometimes, Kneeling, he bowed his head. I just stood there looking confused,

"Queen Gemma, it's a pleasure to see your return,"

"Gem?" I call her,

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner,"
