Alphas Deaf Mate
Chapter 111

Reins

I could feel Autumn hurt when her dad walked away it shattered her I'd never seen Matt act that way toward her he had always been supportive and caring with her, So why did he become that way now I wasnt so sure, She cried her self to sleep I didn't say anything all I did was hold her while she let it all out,

I needed to speak with Matt and Maybe have Helen with she may be able to get him to understand that we didn't do to hurt him or cast him out. I also need to replace out why he was so defensive when learning that there was another silver wolf alive I thought, maybe he would be happy that she wasnt alone in this, Ryker hasn't done anything to make me think he not speaking the truth and besides Gem would have picked up on that the night in the office when they met, I will admit I wasnt comfortable with how he watches Autumn this morning but then again I don't like it when any male looks at her but he was mated,

I felt Autumn move slightly as she rolled closer to me nuzzling her face into my chest Looking at her I could see the tear stains on her cheeks from where she cried so hard, tracing her forehead down her jawline with my finger feeling the tingles so lightly on my fingertips her pink lips moved as she smiled in her sleep.

"Keaton," I called through the link, I needed to replace Matt and get this all settled fast,

"Yes, Alpha,"

"I need you to replace Matt,"

"Already done Alpha. He is with Helen right now they are out back in the garden." He is the best Beta,

"Do you know where Ryker is?" Before I met with Matt I wanted to make sure Ryker wouldn't be close to setting Matt off again,

"I do believe he went for a run, He told Zach his wolf needed to stretch his legs but needed to be far from people's eyes,"

I thought that the be odd, But I wasnt going to worry about it right now I needed to deal with this issue with Matt first,

"Did he go alone?" I didn't want my patrols to come across him and he didn't know the paths they took,

"No Alpha, Zach accompany him along with Nick,"

"Alright, reach out to Zach or Nick to replace out where on the territory they are just keep tabs on them."

"Yes Alpha, How is Autumn? "Just like the good Beta he is he was worried for his Luna,

"She fell asleep, I'm going to come down do you think Sohpia or Anut Anna came come up and wait till she wakes, I don't want her waking up alone,"

"Yes Most definitely I will let her know, Is there anything else?"

"Yes, post-Oscar, Kelly, and Brad throughout the hallway on my floor,"

"Is there something wrong Alpha,?"

"I'm just covering all bases right now,

44

"Understandable, I will send them up now, Alpha"

"Keaton would you insist on calling me Alpha through the link, No one can hear us," I've told him time and time again he doesn't have to use my title when we are alone, He has been my closest friend since childhood he has earned that right. "Habit, sorry Reins,"

"Better, Give me a few minutes and I'll be down,"

"Yes, Alpha,"

"Beta!" I growled at him, only to hear him laughing, "Go send your mate up here," "Sure thing Alpha,"

I just cut the link not playing his game. Him and Anut Anna I swear they like to test my patients

Sliding Autumn off my chest she made a little grunt but rolled over on her other side curling into a ball. I pulled the blanket up to her shoulder and then got out the bed as softly and easily as I could so she didn't wake up, Walking to the door I pulled it open to replace Sophia and Anut Anna standing there,

"You both didn't need to come,"

Anut Anna walked in waving her hand at me she peeked around me looking at Autumn's sleeping figure.

"None sense we both wanted to come and sit with her, How is she Keaton said she was pretty upset leaving the field this morning,"

Sophia asked keeping her voice low as she stepped into the room and did the same As Anut Anna did looking at Autumn you could see the look of concern on both their faces and it warmed my heart to know they cared for her this much,

"She fell asleep about a half hour ago, Cried herself asleep actually, She was pretty upset and hurt over what happened with her father which is why I need to go speak with him, But I dont want her to be alone,"

"She will be in good hands dear Now go handle your business we have her," Anut Anna said as she rubbed my arm, This is why everyone loves her she is a mother to everyone who needs her,

Smiling at her and giving a nod to Sophia I walked out shutting the door softly, I heard movement so I turned quickly only to replace Oscar standing close to the door he tipped his head to the right looking there seeing Brad at that end of the hall then looking back over to the left i saw Kelly standing by the other end,

"Keep your eyes open," I told Oscar, I wasnt sure but I just had this feeling that something was off but I just couldn't put my finger on it,

"Yes Alpha," He said then took his position,

Walking down the hall I decided I should check in with Morgan as well,

"Morgan," Not even a second later. "Yes, Alpha,"

"What the statices down there?"

"Everything is good, No issues we just switched guards the prisoners are not causing a ruckus no problems with them they are waiting quietly," "When are they being transported back to the council headquarters?"

"Beta Keaton said tonight, He reached out to the royal guards they will have a team of five guards here this afternoon and they want to leave right away," "Good, I have another job for you and your mate."

"You want us to tail them?" I had to laugh to myself at how she was learning so quickly she was making a great warrior and I trusted her. "How did you guess?"

She chuckled, "Just a small hunch seeing as none of our own warriors were tagging along,"

"Smart guess, Not that I dont trust the royal guards it's the others I dont trust I dont want any more prisoners to escape on my watch,"

"I'm on it Alpha,"

I cut the link and continued on my way when I reached the kitchen I found Keaton standing by the window looking out his arms were crossed and he didn't look happy, "Keaton?" I called his name, He turned his head looking at me, "Something wrong?'

He faced me," I reached out to Zach asking where they had gone to,"

I nodded letting him know to continue, "He replied saying that Ryker had taken off and they haven't been able to replace him his trail just disappeared, None of the patrols had seen him either, I am not liking this Alpha, He doesn't know the territory but manages to loose those two."

I will admit that was strange why would he take off and where would he go?

"I want you to go and help search for him, I will meet up with Matt and Helen keep me posted," He nodded as he stepped out the door,

"Oscar," "Yes Alph," "There is an issue no one is allowed in the room!" "Got it Alpha,"

I stepped out and headed to the garden I could hear Matt and Helen chatting they had their voices low so I could quite hear what they were saying, When could see them I cleared my throat I didn't want to interrupt them but it was important I speak with them and now that Ryker had taken off it was important I get things clear up with Matt,

"Alpha," Matt stood up greeting me,

"Please sit down Matt," I told him as I reached the small table they were sitting at, looking at Helen,

"Helen, It's good to see you," I held my hand out to her she smiled the same smile as her daughter as she placed her hand in mine.

"Same here Alpha." She spoke softly,

Taking a seat with them I cut right to it,

"Alright I'm not going to beat around here, Matt What happened this morning You were cold to Autumn I've never seen you do that to her, She cried herself to sleep cause she was so upset,"

His face fell when he heard that, "I'm sorry Alpha I really don't know what to say other than my wolf took over he doesn't like that Ryker guy, I know you said he was mated but the way he was looking at her it sent my wolf in over-protection mode and I just couldn't push him back,"

"Why do you feel your wolf dont like him?" If Matt's wolf doesn't like Ryker then something is wrong, hes picked up on something with him being from Beta Blood his senses are a little stronger than others and his reaction was the same as Zach's.

"I'm not sure, There's just something about him that seems off like hes hiding something, And that I do believe is he doesn't have a mate,"

"Why do you think that?"

"Well because he doesn't wear a mark,"

Well s**t,
