His Blind, Deaf Queen

chapter 1

Kalistas pov

"Kalista darling?" My mother called through our mind link. "Yes mother." I responded respectfully. "Would you be a dear and pass our guest the rolls please?" She asked kindly. I responded only with a nod and smile before reaching to my left and grabbing the basket placing it in my right hand and then stopping my arm right before it hits the chest of the wolf next to me. You may be wondering why my mother asked me through the mindlink. I am deaf. I was born both deaf and blind. Most people would think I'm helpless and burden the royal family to no end. However being what I am has more than made up for these small setbacks. My senses of smell and touch are much more heightened due to not having my sight or hearing. Because I was born this way I've learned how to completely distinguish each and every single dish served for dinner apart from what is next to it on our quite large dining table and each and every person sitting at said table and where they all are. I feel the weight of the basket being lifted from my hand and release it into his grasp. "How much longer will he be here mother? I can feel his eyes burning a hole into the side of my face." My wolf Nyla huffs in my head in agreement. This wolf gives her the creeps as well. "Kalista I raised you better than that. Mind your manners. You will be thanking me soon enough." Unsure what she means I turn my head in her direction and start asking when I'm interrupted in the link. "Kalista mind your mother. You are not yet queen and as such you will behave and mind your place. Am I clear?" My fathers deep voice sounded through the link. I took in a deep breath and let it out. "Yes father. My apologies to both you and mother." I said politely, knowing there was no use arguing. "I still can't help but wonder what this man is doing here Nyla. Ive never smelled him before and the feeling he gives me is so uneasy." I said to my wolf in my head. "I'm not sure Kalista but I have a bad feeling as well." She said back to me. Dinner continued on as I'm sure the people around me have small talk while I confer with Nyla in my head about this strange wolf. When dinner is finished we all stand and I walk with them to what I assume to be the foyer for this wolf to take his leave when everyone starts turning toward the den instead. "Crap." I thought to myself knowing this is going to be a long night.

Delukas pov

"Deluka wake your ass up and get ready to leave. The centaurs are waiting." My father yells while pounding on my door. I stand out of my bed and stretch my arms over my 6 foot 8 inch tall body waking up my muscles as it will be a long day as usual. I live on a farm in a rural community but today I'll be going with the king of centaurs and a few of his worriors to the pallace of the wolf king to be one of his worriors. My mom and pop set me up for the job due to my size and strength. At only 17 I could bring my old man down in a fair fight. Now being 21 I was old enough to join his army. Though I'm not pleased about being around all these uppity folks. A simple working life on the farm is something I enjoy. My wolf Ryker blissfully sighs in agreement at my thoughts. I quicky shower washing my shaggy black hair and my body. I step out when im done and towel dry my hair and body before looking in the mirror. My icey blue eyes stare back at my well toned body my complection being slightly lighter than most wolves my friends call me "ghost". I get dressed and pack a couple of bags before heading out the front door never to come back. My mother and father along with my sister and brothers are standing outside to see me off. My little sister hugs me tight like her life depends on it. "stay out of trouble ok Deluka?" She says wiping tears from her eyes. "Only if you do the same Kyna." I tell her laughing. My little brother hugged me next. "I'll be there soon bro just 2 more years!" He said enthusiastically. "I'll be waiting Reno." I say patting him on the head. My older brother hugged me last. "Keep an eye on the place will you Gylen?" I say wiping away a fake tear. He punched my shoulder playfully and responded with "Someone's got to." My parents hugged me last. Brior and Lemya Miken. The 2 best and most patient parents a wolf like me could ever have asked for. "Do your best honey." My mother said kissing my cheek. "Come on Lemya you're gunna turn him soft." My father said gruffly. "Give them hell boy. Don't hold back." He said hugging me with pride. I started walking toward the centaurs when I heard my nickname and smiled like an i***t. My best friend Dygo was running my way like a freight train. "I know you're not trying to leave without saying something to me first!" he shouted. He hit me hard in what I was expecting to be a hug but he turned it into a wrestle for dominance. After putting him on his back i helped him up and gave him an actual hug. "6 months Ghost. I'll be fighting at your side in 6 months just you wait and see!" After an emotional goodbye to my family and friends I look in the direction of Thiumas the centaur king and began walking toward him. "Your highness." I said bowing. After pleasantries we began our day long journey. I shifted into my wolf and let Ryker take over as he can keep up with the other 4 leggeds better than I can even while carrying bags in his mouth. By this time tomorrow I will be in the presence of royalty. "Krimson kindom, here I come." I thought to myself as we made our way there.
