Alphas Deaf Mate
Chapter 15

Autumn

of Kelly and I.

Its been three day since school has started. Kelly picks me up every morning this morning Brad had drove. It has been good so far especially with Oscar and them I've become really close to Kelly as well as the other three, The guys are great they are super protective I have a few classes with Kelly and Oscar in the morning in the afternoon it's either Nick or Brad in my class and we all have gym together.

yesterday we were all in gym when that kid Dan had snuck up behind me while I was stretching we were getting ready to do some laps. He wrapped his arms around pulling me tight against his front. Which caused me to let out a scream. I didn't even get to struggle when I was pulled from him by Oscar. All that kid did was smirk then walk off.

After school we go to their house which is were dad works we all hang out till dad's done then I ride home with him. It was definitely nice having friends this is something I didn't have the other places we had lived people would always treat me differently cause I'm deaf or they just didn't want to take the time to get to know me.

I'm currently in the kitchen with Aunt Anna she was preparing dinner I normally come in here I like waiting here for my dad. The other kids would usually go to the entertainment room you could hear them yelling and laughing. I like it here were it quite. Kelly and them said they had things they needed to do which is the same thing they always say when we arrive here after school. I don't ever ask I really don't mind.

I like spending time with Aunt Anna she always such a happy person. Just in the few days I've been coming here we have fallen right into a routine we don't use sign language because she don't know any but she always stands were I can see her lips when she talks and I talk more when I'm with her. I feels good to talk then using sign language makes me feel normal.

I usually help her a bit while I wait for dad there are a few other people in here helping her. They prepare a lot of food it makes me wonder how many people live here. Right now I was cutting up vegetables that she needed as I worked on that

I was telling her about my day.

I told her about that kid Dan you could see she didn't like what he did she always telling me to be careful and to tell Oscar if he does anything when no one's around.

I was focused on what I was doing and in my conversation with her I stopped paying attention to what's around me. I scooped the cut up vegetables into a bowl turning to take them to her. Standing there was Mr Reins letting out a scream tossing the bowl in the air the vegetables went flying everywhere.

Covering my mouth with one hand and my chest with another starring at him.

He holds his hands up.

"I'm so sorry Autumn, I thought you seen me," I see him say.

Aunt Anna came over she had a broom I see she is laughing. I kneel grabbing the bowl and start picking up some of the food. He kneels in front of me and starts to help clean up. Cleaning up as much as we could with our hands he grabs the bowl off the floor walking it over to sink.

He turns looking at me.

"Autumn I'm really sorry I didn't mean to scare," He says again.

"It's okay I just wasn't paying attention,"

"I came to tell you that your father is going to be working later, He didn't want to worry you if he was late,"

"Oh okay, Um how late is he gonna be should I call Zach to come get me?"

"It's gonna be like another two to three hours,"

"Oh, I'll just call Zach no biggie, Thanks,"

I turn to grab my phone I send Zach a quick message I see he typing right away I frown when I see his answer.

'He's held up at school and came come get me.'

Then I feel my phone vibrate looking down it's a message from mom.

'Hunnie your dad's working late how are you getting home?'

I answer her back saying I asked Zach but he's stuck at school and that I would just wait for dad.

I feel a hand on my shoulder looking over it's Aunt Anna.

"Sweetie why don't you let Reins drive you home, There's no need for you to wait here longer,"

I look over tor Reins he's standing there with a smile.

I felt flutters in my stomach I've been around him with coming here the last few days and he's been super nice nothing like the first time I met him.

Glancing back down to my phone seeing my mom's message.

"If it's not to much trouble,"

I say looking over to him.

"No not at all, I need to go into town so I'll drop you on the way,"

I nod my head going over and grabbing my back pack. I walk over giving Aunt Anna a hug then waving bye to the others. Stopping in front of him he gives a small smile then steps to the side holding his arm out gesturing for me to walk ahead I could feel my cheeks heat up and my nervousness has now kicked in fully.

Reins

My heart was beating a mile a minute standing in that kitchen waiting for her answer. We had come up with this plan Her father and Mother along with Aunt Anna help, and of course her brother Zach.

I have spoken to her quite a few times the last few days with her coming here after school to wait for her dad it's gotten her use to my presents she don't seem scared of me.

So we made a plan for me to drive her home today but waiting for her answer was killing me.

"If it's not to much trouble," I hear her small soft voice..

'YES!!!'

I scream in my head but hold my composer so she don't see how excited I am.

When I moved to the side to let her go first I noticed the ever slight pink color that appeared on her cheeks. She quickly walked in front probably thinking I hadn't noticed.

Walking out the front door I see Keaton had pulled my truck up already. Going down the steps she reaches for the door but I quickly stepped around pulling the door open. She stops looking to me she smiles I see her hold her hand up her fingers to her lips almost then palm towards her face then let's hear hand down keeping her palm upwards.

At first it looked as she was blowing a kiss but her lips didn't pucker. I must had a confused look because she chuckled.

Climbing in the truck I closed the door walking to the other side getting in starting the truck I pulled out the driveway.

She was telling me how to get to her house even though I already knew but I just let her I loved hearing her voice. We didn't talk other then that but just her being this closed is keeping my wolf calm.

I seen she was typing on her phone a few minutes later I pulled into the driveway I see her mom come out waving as she walked to the truck.

I looked over at her she did that gesture again with her hand then giggle and get out before I could even open my door to go open her door. She ran around the front of my truck to her mom who was standing by my window she put a arm around her shoulder. "Mr Blackwood thank you for driving her home," Her mom Helen says but I can see her smirk.

"Your welcome, I had to come to town so there wasn't a point in her having to wait at the house,"

"I would like to invite you to the birthday party we are throwing Autumn this weekend," "Birthday?" I say just a little confused,

"Yes Autumn birthday is Friday so we are having a small party Saturday for her," Helen explains.

Then it hit me her dad did say when they first arrived her birthday was the next week she turns eighteen,

"Yes I'll come," I quickly say looking to Autumn I see her cheeks are pink again.

"Great! I'll have Matt tell you what time everything is, Thanks again Mr Blackwood,"

They turn walking back to house I shifted the truck in reverse backing out the drive when I pulled the shifter to D I got a sudden whiff of another wolf I know I have my warriors that are watching the house but that's not any of my warriors. 'Dam it I can't shift here,'

I thought I can't let her see me.

I drive off going down the street aways pulling over I park. Jumping out I walk down over into the woods it's just a small area not big at all.

Walking straight through the tree line I had there sent.
