Alphas Deaf Mate
Chapter 78

Reins

We were all at the clinic now Oscar called saying Nick was awake soon as Autumn heard that she was out the door.

Zach took the box of vials up to his parents to hold on to as we didn't want anyone to accidentally replace them in there. "Nick, do you remember anything?"

Autumn asked she was sitting on the bed holding his hand in hers.

Shaking his head.

"No not anything in the last few days, Um the last I remember clearly is everyone was gathering after we found you,"

He scrunches his brows like he's trying to think if that was right or not.

"That's a while ago,"

Zach chimes in looking at him like he wanted to pounce on him.

"I know I don't understand myself everything is like a fog I can remember Autumn or any information about her or places she was going, but other things are hazy," "Do you remember Rachel? Meeting her talking to her anything?"

"Rachel? Why would I meet her? And how isn't she dead?" He looks at me with confusion all over his face.

"Reins he doesn't remember," My mate looks at me I could see she was upset that someone used and hurt her friend.

"He's telling the truth," It was Gem's voice this time.

That's when I had an idea.

"Everyone out," I order them.

"Why? I'm not leaving my sister with him,

Zach growls stepping closer to the bed.

Letting out a growl myself he stepped back baring his neck to me.

"I'll be right here,"

"Yes Alpha, sorry I didn't mean no disrespect,"

"Good, Now out!"

Everyone jumped and started shuffling out of the room. Oscar Kelly and Brad were the only ones who stayed looking at me they all bowed their head. "Sorry Alpha but we can't leave, Gem has ordered us to stay,"

"I trusted them as I know they're special to Autumn so their being in the room didn't bother me, I wouldn't have minded Zach staying either as he and her parents will know all her power eventually. "It's fine, but no one is to know anything outside this room,".

"Yes, Alpha," Oscar and Brad walked over standing at the door Kelly walked to Autumn's side that's why Gem wanted them to stay they are all part of her.

"Nick the same goes for you,"

Autumn looked at me.

"Reins what are we doing?"

"You're gonna ask him and you and Gem will decide if he's telling the truth,"

She looked back to Nick, then at Kelly, they gave her a nod Kelly place a hand on her shoulder.

I felt her worry and I knew she was afraid they would be mad or even hate her for using her powers on them.

Walking to her I cup her face.

"Love it's okay, let Gem guide you trust her."

"He's my friends Reins what if he hates me afterward," Her broken voice pops in my head.

"He won't he knows this has to be done, and if we want to prove he had nothing to do with it this is the best way," Nodding her head she looked back to Nick.

"Autumn it's okay really whatever you need to do, do it"

Letting out a sigh she sits back down.

"Alright, I'm gonna ask you something you answer me, one of my powers is I will be able to determine if you are lying,"

"Ask away," He slid up straighter on the bed looking ready for everything to come his way.

"Did you know or were you aware you were under a spell?"

"No," He didn't even hesitate his voice strong breathing steady.

"Did you know it was Rachel,"

"No, I would never help her or do anything to harm you,"

Autumn just looked at him her eyes locked with his, he never looked away he held her stare.

What seemed like minutes was only seconds she turned to me.

"He's telling the truth,"

"I felt it as well," Kelly says as she took a breath.

"Alright, now we know that much we need to replace Rachel, and that's where Ariel is gonna come in," "How?" Nick asked

"She can do a spell to track her, you have met up with her we are hoping she can lead us to her,"

"You think that will work?" Nick now slid to the edge of the bed looking like he was going to get up.

Autumn put her hands on his shoulders pushing him back to the bed.

"You still need rest we can do the spell later first you need to be a hundred percent,"

"I feel fine I want to do this we need to replace her, I miss them a lot seeing as she is still alive and I'm not sure how it happens,"

"Well that's a whole other story and we just had more dropped on us a few minutes ago,"

"What now!" Oscar asked as he stepped away from the door.

"Another thing of Rachel's plan was found by Kelly and Brad when they search her room,"

We heard a knock then the door opened the nurse poked her head in.

"I'm sorry to interrupt Alpha, but when they brought the young man in his phone fell so I put it out at the desk for him but it keeps going off and I was worried it may be important," She steps in holding her hand out I see the phone.

Oscar walks over taking it from her.

"Thanks," He says she nods and then steps out closing the door.

Oscar looks at it as he walks over to Nick handing it to him.

It suddenly rings Nick freezes looking at it. He then lifts it turning it so we could see the screen it was just a number no name showed up.

"I don't know that number," He says while glancing back at the ringing phone.

It stops ringing after the fifth time he looks down at the phone just a few seconds later he opens the screen.

"Didn't leave a voicemail either,"

He continues to look through his phone.

"That number called me like four times,"

He turns the phone around so we could see and sure enough, he had a bunch of missed calls.

"Look there it says you took a call from that number a few hours ago," Autumn points to the phone. Oscar leans forward.

"That was right before we all met in the office I saw you were on the phone so I yelled to ya,"

"Wait do you think it's Rachel? Maybe that's how she was controlling him,"

Autumn shook her head.

"No Ariel said it had to be in liquid form,"

Before she could say any more the phone rang again it was that same number.

It was on the fourth ring when Oscar quickly grabbed it pushing the answer button.

"Hello!"
