The handicapped Alpha

Chapter 8

Zion

I woke to a sound of twig breaking and searched my surrounding only to realize that I'm still on top of a tree, and the footstep made me remember why i was in that tree to start with, looked around to find the owner of the steps looking up straight at me , that made me shiver as the look was as cold as ice, he then made a gesture with his fingers signaling me to come down, looked around again, and it was just the Oldman and no one else, started to climb down the tree, and then it dawns on me that I lost my artificial leg during the fight, hoped down the tree because knew that sitting there will give the old man enough time to call some of his pack members, he did not smell like rogue, and Blake was silent at back of my mind, stood facing the old man with my one leg and had a terrible headache looked him straight in the eyes, he smirked then touched his head signaling me or asking what happened to my head, then told him had an accident, he them looked down my leg and asked were my other leg is, told him again accident, gave me a small nod then looked around for what I'm not sure, but was curious about this wolf is he playing me or is he really going to assist me, Are you deaf asking the old man because he has been using his hands to communicate with me, He gave me a nod but then told me he can hear but cannot talk, he uses sign language, ask if he is from round here, and he nods his head, where am I because was washed out by the rain and not sure which side of the world I'm at, he looked me again then took a branch then gave it to me, asked him again where are we because im lost and not familiar with these lands, he signaled me to come with him, took the branch and used it for balance as i followed the deaf old man, we walked for more than an hour without any word till we came through the pack gates, guards came out bowed their heads to the old man then looked at me and said state your business, looked at the big wolves standing beside me and told them the rain washed me out, got lost from my pack lands, the old man did some sign language and the gates opened the old man signaled me to follow him, we walked to his cabin or house with all the stares we got from pack members, and we walked in his house to find an older woman looked like his mate, he went to her and hugged her as he brushed her hair, she returned the hug then looked at me and the situation I'm in then she said the last thing that was in my mind are you hungry, that's when my stomach growled yes mam, oh you poor thing what happened to you because the state you in tells me you don't have your wolf yet, which pack are you from your parents must be worried about you, looked her in the eyes and told her I'm an orphan and am treated as a slave in my pack, ran away to live in the human town, they looked at each other and I knew they're speaking through the mind link, she then said you don't have to tell us now if you are not ready, will inform the alpha about you, but we need to get that head of yours checked, which pack is this and who is the alpha, oh dear my apologies for not introducing myself and mate, I'm Gladys and this is my mate Robert we are the former Beta of the Moonlight pack, under Alpha Collen who just took over few months ago as his parents were killed in a rogue attack while attending the Lunas ball, then it hit me that my parents were killed while they were to attend the Lunas ball in moonlight pack. Zion is my name and from Hotspot pack. Have no one worried about me and, if possible, please don't let my old pack know I'm here. Please leave without causing you any problems. Oh hush child, we are not bad people, and we can sense that you are in trouble and not sure if you trust us, but we do things differently in this pack, and we knew the late Luna and Alpha of the Hotspot pack. They were good wolves.
