Wolflox (a Deadlox Fanfiction)

Chapter 16

Deadlox's POV

Hailey was waiting outside the cave for him, with a smaller yellow wolf next to her. The yellow wolf, unlike all of the other wolves, had sea-green eyes different from the characteristic emerald green of all the others'. As he came out of the cave, he saw the wolf whisper something to Hailey. They began to laugh, and Deadlox assumed that this must be the wolf Hailey was abandoned with. He recalled that her name was Nikki, and she stared at him as he walked past.

He smiled at the familiar sight of Hailey, who came up next to him on his right side. He stopped walking, and she cleared her throat before she bagan to speak.

"Deadlox, I want you to meet my best friend Nicole, but she prefers to be called Nikki," she said.

Nikki came out slowly from behind Hailey, gaping at Deadlox. He looked directly into her eyes, and she did the same back. He noticed the way her nose was shaped, and knew at once that she was one of the most beautiful wolves there. Of course, Hailey was beautiful too, and so was Rishka, but as the small yellow wolf walked a little closer, he seemed to become lost in her sea-colored eyes.

"HI, Nikki," he said with a small smile. It sounded pathetic, but it was all he could think of to say.

But Nikki was even worse. She made a small noise that sounded like a faint "hello," but her paws shook and she collapsed on the ground.

"NIKKI! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ABOUT?!" Hailey shouted, and hit her shoulder with her front paw.

Nikki immediately jumped up and blushed.

"I'm sorry, but she just isn't that good with new people. Right, Nikki?" Hailey said.

The yellow wolf nodded but didn't say a word. She smiled at him, and he returned it as best as he could.

"I- I think we should introduce you to the rest of the pack," she said, her voice vibrating.

They began to walk again, Hailey and Nikki leading him around the edge of a small hill. They were whispering something he didn't understand, but he could hear them giggling and he blushed.

They came to a small clearing, and he saw a sight that was amazing, at least after being alone for so long. There were about half a dozen wolves doing various casual activities. There was a jet black wolf and a silver wolf sleeping under the shade of a tree. There was a tan wolf with a three pups prancing around it, playing a game of some sort. Wolves were everywhere, and only some of them stopped to stare at him.

"The sleeping silver one is Jack," said Nikki. "The black one is Bella, we think they- you know- like each other. The tan one is Cat, her mate died a month ago. His name was Kilyr. She was left with the pups, their names are Dust, Star and Westia. Kovu's mate, Katelin, is out hunting with Isa, Maise, Stardust and Dwinn. I think that's everyone. And you are Deadlox- so that makes fifteen wolves in our pack. I'm sure that everyone will get to know you in no time.
