Wolflox (a Deadlox Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

(one day later)

Deadlox's POV

Not too far in front of him, Hailey and Rishka were walking. He followed slowly, unsure whether to trust them or not. They seemed to be thinking along the same lines. Every now and then one of them would turn around and give him a nervous glance. He had taken to staring at the ground when he walked, so that whenever one of them did this he could avoid their eyes.

They walked on in the awkward silence, and Deadlox began to wonder where the heck they were going. It was getting dark out, and he was beginning to feel hungry again. Then another thought came into his head- what if when he met the other wolves, they ambushed him? Could this all be a trap? He was beginning to regret that he ever agreed to meet this pack.

He thought about these things as they walked, and was confused for a second when the two wolves he was following made a sharp left turn and disappeared from sight completely. He looked around and saw that they had gone into a thin cave in the side of a small mountain. They were standing there, waiting for him. He walked into it after them, but Hailey stepped in front of him before he could go any further.

"Wait here while we go talk to the alpha wolf," she said.

"His name is Kovu, and he's a bit strict. But if you're going to stay in this pack, you will have to get used to him," Rishka said.

So he sat there and watched them vanish into the cavern, hoping that he was about to meet someone at least friendly. After a few minutes, Hailey came into sight and nodded her head. He walked up to her, and she blinked at him.

"Kovu said that he wants to see you alone. You don't know our customs, so I'm going to tell you the important ones. When you are in the alpha's presence, you are supposed to do a submission posture. Basically you get down on the ground and tuck in your tail. But NEVER look him in the eye until he tells you to get up, ok? And always address him as 'alpha' or 'sir' or any formal name. I think that's it..... You'll be okay, right?" Hailey said.

"I- I think so," Deadlox said.

"Wait- I have a question. What exactly is your name?"

"Well, my name is Ty, but I would appreciate it if you and everyone else could refer to me as Deadlox, my username."

At this, Hailey merely blinked, and Deadlox began to walk through the cave towards where Kovu, the alpha of the pack, was waiting for him.
