The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 125

It’s only a week before my twentieth birthday and I’m becoming more nervous. On one hand, I don’t want it to come because I don’ t want to come into my full powers, but on the other, I’m anxious to see if Declan really is my mate. What I won’t give to have that special connection with someone. I had one with Gavin, to an extent, and he will always have my heart, but it was never the connection of fated mates and I know he wants me to be happy. I’ ve always had a stronger bond with Declan, so it makes sense that the Goddess would have fated us to each other.

I’ve been slowly coming around to believing that the Alpha of Storm River really is my fated mate. Why we have had to go through everything that we have, I’m not sure at all, but the Goddess always has a reason for why she does things the way she does. It’s strange that she would present the obstacles that she has, for example, Lila. Wouldn’t it be easier to just let Declan and I be with each other, and choose one another if we were fated? Why have us go our separate ways, and each bear a pup from another. I thought mate bonds are supposed to be sacred. It’s almost as if the Goddess pushed Lila and Gavin into our lives. I won’t complain, though, because I definitely got the better end of the deal.

I chuckle at the thought, and for a moment, I swear I could hear Gavin’s chuckle as well as the breeze comes through the office window. I smile towards the window, “I miss you, Gavin. I hope you know that you will always hold a huge chunk of my heart.” In that moment, a familiar scent, one that I will never forget because it’s his scent, dances on the breeze, making me smile.

Instead of staying stuffed in my office, I go in search of Demi, who has my son at the moment. I want to take a walk on this gorgeous

afternoon, and I want my son with me. He’s growing too fast for my liking, and I want to spend as much time with him as I can. All too soon, he will be crawling, and then walking, and then next thing I know,

he will be starting school. I know all too well how busy an Alpha and Luna can get, so I want to make sure that I always find time for my children.

I find Demi in the back yard, watching Ayden play on the playset while holding Ash in her arms. I had sent my Beta to the human town to find the biggest playset to put up in the back yard. It now looks like a miniature park in the backyard, and even though there is a park close by, I love the fact that I can sit out here to watch the kids enjoy themselves without leaving the pack house.

“I was just going to come find you, Luna. Ash is starting to get fussy for his feeding.” Demi informs me.

I glance at my watch, “Oh wow, I hadn’t realized it was that late already. Here, I was going to take him for a walk anyway, so I’ll find a nice quiet spot and let him feed.”

I cradle Ash in my arms as I walk across the backyard towards the tree line. I know the perfect secluded spot under a cherry blossom tree. I visit it often when I need to feel close to Gavin because it’s where we came a few times to have our private moments. Who knows, it could have been one of those moments that created this little bundle of joy in my arms.

Leaning back against the tree, I lift my shirt up and bring my son to my breast. He’s a hungry little pup as he latches on in an instant and starts sucking vigorously. I can’t help but laugh, “I’m sorry for making you wait, little man.”

Closing my eyes, I listen to the sound of the small field that the

blossom tree grows in. The birds are chirping, the squirrels are out collecting their food for the upcoming winter months, I can even sense deer close by. There is another scent, and I grin as I switch my son to the other breast.

“Hm, I’m a bit jealous of him at the moment.” The deep voice is smooth like chocolate as it comes closer.

“Maybe if you’re good, he will share them with you, but you will have to wait until later, of course.” I smile up at the handsome Alpha who now stands, towering over me with his hands in his pockets. His shirt sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, showing off the veins that run through his muscular forearms.

“You were made to be a nurturing mother; do you know that? It suits you, nicely.” He takes a seat on the ground right beside me.

“No, you just enjoy staring at my boobs.” I chuckle. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, that too, of course,” he joins in with his own little snicker, “Seriously, though, I love watching you, not just with Asher, but with Holden as well. It makes me so happy to know that my son. has you in his life.” He brushes a few strands of hair away from me face.

“I love the little guy like my own, and I pray to the Goddess every night that we are truly mates just so Holden will know the real love of a mother.”

“Oh, is that the only reason?” Declan’s brow lifts.

“I guess his dad is pretty hot too, and is amazing in bed.” I wink at him, and he throws his head back at laughs, startling my son. “Ouch!” I give a playful glare at the Alpha, “Thanks for that!”

Declan shrugs, “What did I do?”

“You scared my son and he ripped his mouth away from me. Do you want to know what that feels like? I can show you.” I go to pinch his own nipple but he blocks me, laughing.

“I’ll take your word on it, but I’m sorry. I can kiss them better for you.”

I roll my eyes, “If you’re lucky.”

“I’ve no doubt. You can’t resist my charm. After all, you’re the one that said that I’m amazing in bed.” He smirks.

“Oh, for the love of the Goddess…” I pull my shirt down, making the Alpha beside me pout, “What are you doing here anyway? I thought you weren’t coming until dinner.”

He leans in and nuzzles my neck, “I was craving you, so I decided to play h*oky from work. Are you not happy to see me?”

The way his lips are moving across my neck is doing delicious things to me, “You know d*mn well that I’m always happy to see you.”

“Mm, I know. I can smell your arousal.”

“Okay, I think we had better head back to the pack house.” I move away quickly but I don’t miss the confusion on Declan’s face. Sighing, I look down at him, “It doesn’t feel right being intimate with you here.”

He searches the area and then glances back up at me, “Why, there isn’t a soul around?’

“This was mine and Gavin’s spot,” I bite down on my lower lip, hoping he doesn’t get upset, “I just feel like I would be tainting what we had by being with you here.”

Surprisingly, Declan smiles softly and then stands up. Stepping up close to me, he caresses my face, “It’s okay, Quinn. I don’t ever want to spoil a memory of yours that you had with him. Those are. yours to cherish, and you are mine to cherish, and keep happy.” He leans in and kisses my forehead, “Come on, let’s go get the little one into his crib.”

“So, how is the party prepping coming along?” Declan lounges on the sofa in my office.

“I’m not quite sure. You would have to ask Cici on that one, you know how much I hate that stuff, besides, I have enough on my mind with this Dire wolf s*it.”

He frowns, “Quinn, being a Dire wolf isn’t s*it. There is

responsibility, yes, but you are the most important wolf in our world.”

I smirk, “Yeah, until I mate and then the King will take that spot.”

The Alpha scrunches his brows together, “You don’t know much about the legend, do you? Quinn, YOU will be the Queen of all wolves, and yes, your mate will be the King, but this isn’t a fairytale. The Queen is who rules, not the King. I mean, yes, he rules too, but The Queen is the important one between the two.”

I sigh heavily and push away from my desk to go stand by the window, “What if I don’t want it? The responsibility, I mean.”

He chuckles now, “I don’t think it works that way, sweetheart.”

I turn towards him and study his features as he stares back at me, “If it happens that we aren’t fated, will you still help me get through this? I don’t have the slightest idea on where to even start learning about my powers.”

I watch as he stands up and walks over to me, pulling me into his chest and holding me tight, “I will always be here for you

regardless, Quinn. Never doubt that.”

“Can I just choose you? Can we just mate and get it over with already?” I say it playfully because I already know the answer to it. Only his fated mate or death to his current Luna can free him from the shackles that he is in, and as much as I hate the b*tch, I can’t just up and kill her.

“It’s only a week of waiting, and then we will know for sure.” He kisses the top of my head, “You know, if it turns out that we are fated, I’m not letting you out of my sight until we mate and mark each other.”

I pull back enough to look up at him wide eyed, “You don’t want to wait until the union ceremony?”

Shaking his head, his jaw clenches, “No, I don’t want to give anybody a chance to take you from me. We can do it before the ceremony, you just won’t be my Luna yet. In order for that to happen, we will have to find the b*tch, so you can challenge her for your rightful title.”

“It will be my pleasure to do so. I may not be able to off her for no reason, but I’ll gladly fight her till the death.” I gaze up into his brown orbs, “All we have to do is find her first.”

I love writing these little intimate moments between these two. =)
