The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 104

It’s been a month since I’ve talked to Declan, but I know he’s been around my pack

grounds, I can feel him every time he stops by. He never tries to see me, giving me the

space that I need but still being able to keep his promise to Gavin about watching over

me and Ash. It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t put a stop to him. coming until I was

ready. I couldn’t do that to Gavin.

Since that night that Declan and I got into it, I’ve talked to Demi about staying on at my

pack house as Ash’s nanny and she was quick to accept. She’s been a bit hesitant to

talk about Ayden being Ash’s Beta when they are older, but I think I may have her talked

into it. I know it will be Ayden’s decision when the time. comes, but normally, once they

get their wolves at seventeen, we bond the future Alpha, Beta, and if there is a G*mma,

together, so they have a strong bond by the time the take over the pack. For now, I’ll just

be happy to have uncle and nephew grow up together.

Enter title…

Word came to me through the grapevine that the test results showed that Holden truly is

Declan’s child. Okay, Cici is the grapevine. She told me, when her brother told her, that

he was in the room with Declan when he opened the results. I’m happy for Declan, truly I

am, because I was dreading him finding out that the son that he has loved and nurtured

for over a year isn’t really his. So, I’m happy in that sense, but for some reason, I still feel

a sadness over the whole situation.

I shake myself from thinking on it any longer, after all, not my circus, not my monkeys.

It’s my mantra every time my mind begins. to wander in that direction, which is often,

unfortunately. I try so hard to keep my mind on other things, but it always wanders back

to my other family. Yes, I’ve considered the Storm River pack my

family since I was fifteen years old, and they will always be my family. Declan and I are

just having a little sibling’s quarrel.

‘Don’t ever think of Declan and Duke as our siblings. That’s just wrong!’ Tala gives a little

shiver.

‘What’s wrong with thinking of them as that?’

‘They both are much more than that!’ My wolf scoffs.

‘Why do you say that, Tala?’

‘I can’t reveal my reason just yet, and I really wish you would learn to listen to me.’ She

has the audacity to lecture me, ‘Had you listened, we wouldn’t have been heartbroken

over losing your chosen mate, because we wouldn’t have mated them!’

Her words sting. I bring my hand to Gavin’s fading mark on my neck. Soon it will be gone

for good, ‘I loved him Tala and I know you did too! Besides, we wouldn’t have our pup

had we not!’

My wolf sighs, ‘I know this, Quinn, but we would have had a pup eventually, when it was

time…’

‘Tell me, Tala, did the Goddess Selene tell you that I was making the wrong choice?’

‘Well, no but…’

‘Then how can you say that I made the wrong choice? Deep down. everything felt right, it

felt that I was in the right place with the right person.’ I try to explain to my stubborn wolf.

‘I don’t know what to say to that, but I do know things and I know

that we were not meant to spend our life with Gavin and Mace, no

matter how much it hurts.’ She says softly.

‘Yeah well, unfortunately, I found that out the hard way. I just hope it isn’t the reason that

he died. I hope I didn’t get him killed for loving him so much.’ My inner voice cr*cks at

the end.

‘Oh, Quinn, don’t ever think that. It was all his father’s doing, never doubt that.’

I smile at how stubborn my wolf can be one moment and then turn super sweet the next

when I really need her to be. She’s the only one that knows me so well, and the only one

that is here for me always. No mate can ever take the place of your wolf. I feel sorry for

the humans not having someone special with them always. Everyone should have a

wolf.

I’m coming down the stairs when I hear a baby laugh and I automatically know that it’s

Holden. I smile and pick up my steps, not even thinking that if Holden is here, then so is

his father. I spot him playing on the floor with Ayden and I scoop him up and start

smothering him in kisses. His little giggles go straight to my heart.

Then, as if he couldn’t get any cuter, he reaches out, “Dada, dada!” He’s calling out to Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

his dad to save him.

“Oh no! Does Quinn have you? Sorry buddy, daddy can’t help you.” I hear and feel

Declan behind me, but I don’t care anymore, I’m over it, and I’m tired of giving him the

silent treatment. He’s respected me and given me my space for a whole month now. I

think I can stop acting like a child and end the silent treatment.

“No! You can’t go to your daddy, Quinny has you now!” More kisses all over his face has

him kicking and laughing. When I finally end the torture, I set him back down on the floor

with Ayden and squat down to smother kisses on the toddlers face as well. He doesn’t

freak out like Holden did, but he does laugh and call out for his

mom who is nearby.

Standing back up, I turn and see that my son is sound asleep in Declan’s arms, and I

smile. I’m glad that Declan has still been coming around, so Ash can get used to him. I

don’t want to break that bond over my own selfish ways.

“Does he always fall asleep in your arms when you’re here?” I ask the Alpha.

He chuckles, “It seems as though I may be a bit boring to the little one.”

“Or just really comfy.” I grin. Turning back to the two other little ones, “How about we go

over to the park and play for a bit?”

They both start getting excited and I glance over at Demi, “I’ll switch you kids for a bit.

You stay with Ash, and we will take Ayden with us.”

“Oh, I’m getting the best part of the deal!” She laughs as she takes my son from Declan.

Ayden takes off and Holden wobbles behind as fast as his little legs can take him, “Oh

my, he’s getting around so good!”

“Yeah, he is. He’s really coming into himself finally; I was worried for a while, but he was

just a late bloomer I guess.” He smiles after his son.

I run to catch up to Holden before he tumbles down the front porch steps. He’s wanting

to do what Ayden does, not realizing that he can’t quite do it just yet. I swing him up in

the air and then place him on my hip giving each step of mine an extra bounce, so he

giggles.

Once we reach the bottom, I let him go once more, just to watch

him follow his older cousin into the park. Declan and I sit on the bench by the sandbox

that both pups are now playing in, sitting in a comfortable silence.

“I’m sorry, Declan.”I say softly and out of the blue.

“There is nothing to apologize for. I always wondered if he was truly mine but too scared

to really find out the truth. I was only upset, because I was afraid of finding out that he

wasn’t really mine.” Neither one of us look at each other, our eyes are on the pups at all

times.

“Regardless of the results, I think you would have still raised him as your own; it’s who

you are. I knew you loved that little boy, and as much as I hated to do it, both you and

Holden deserved to know the truth.”

“Yeah, that was the deciding factor in opening the envelope. I knew without a doubt that I

would never give him up.” He states and I smile because I knew I was right.

“For what it’s worth, I’m really glad that he is yours. I’d hate to think. that Lila would do

that to her own child.” I scowl at just the

thought.

Declan scoffs, though, “I don’t put anything past that b*tch.”

“What is she up to these days, anyway?” I ask smirking.

“She’s actually been in the cells this whole time, but I can’t hold the Elders off anymore,

so I have to let her out until she f*cks up again. I really can’t wait until I don’t have to

deal with her any longer.”

“Well, hopefully you have some miracle up your sleeve somewhere.” I snort.

“Hey, you never know. My fated mate may show up fashionably late.” I glance over at

him and he’s grinning.

“Even if she does, Lila is your Luna so…”

“And a fated mate can challenge her.” He reminds me.

“Oh yes, that’s right. So, shall we start searching far and wide?” I chuckle.

He shakes his head, “Nah, I think she will fall right into my lap wher the time is right.”

“I thought we outgrew the fairytale stage.” I squint at him.

He throws his head back and laughs, “Oh Quinn, didn’t you know? Fairytales do come

true if you believe in them enough.”
