The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 148

CHAPTER 148

All I can do is stare, completely dumbstruck as to what it is I am actually looking at. I suppose I'm just in shock because this is so unexpected, not only because shifters don't usually get married like the humans do, but because Declan has never mentioned that he wanted to. As mates, we automatically take the male's last name anyway, and the union ceremony is like a wedding in the shifter community. I don't know too many wolves that are actually married, but I do know that my parents were.

Once I come back to the present, I take the box from his hand and open it. My hand goes straight to cover my mouth as a gasp bursts free. Part of the engagement ring is my mother's wedding band; he's incorporated it into a beautiful diamond ring for me.

Instead of answering him, I grab his cheeks and kiss him. passionately, not caring that we have an audience. I straddle hist knee and sit down on it as I continue to deepen the kiss. I can faintly hear giggles and chuckles, and then a throat clearing very loudly. Declan pulls away first, grinning at me.

"Quinn Night, I have loved you for a long time, and I thought that I missed my chance to have you as my own. I had decided to have you as my chosen before everything happened, and even though it's taken a few years, and a couple of kids later, I'm still madly and deeply in love with you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my everything, and marry me?"

My tears, started streaming two seconds into his little speech and all I can do is nod my head, "Words little mate, I need to hear the words."

Clearing my throat, I swipe at my wet face, "Y-Yes," I stutter through my emotions, "I will marry you, my Alpha."

This time, it's his turn to crash his lips against mine, as the others cheer us on, but it doesn't last long because Asher decides right then that he's hungry and starts fussing. I pull away first this time and gaze deeply into his chocolate brown eyes. All those years ago, when a handsome Alpha came and saved me, I never would have guessed that I would be sitting here now, in his arms and saying yes to marrying him.

He brushes away a few strands of hair that have blown across my face, and then pecks my nose, "Your son isn't going to be patient too much longer," he leans in closer, "You better go feed him now, because I'm going to be hogging those beautiful breasts for the next few hours."

My core tightens with the promise of his undivided attention, and I move away before I attack him right here, the others be damned. Placing the ring on my ring finger of my left hand, I rise from his knee, "I'll be back, my King, so save that thought."

I walk over and take Ash from Amelia who stole him as soon as we came out here, "Thank you for holding him for me, Amelia."

She scoffs at me, "Enough with my name, I think it's about time. that you start calling me mom, don't you? I will never replace your own, but I would like to be there for you like she would if she were still here with us."

I give her a warm smile, and a hug to match, "I'd be honored, Mom." After thanking her and everyone else for celebrating with me, I head inside to feed a very demanding young Alpha.

I'm just finishing up Ash's feeding when one of my guards at the

Dividing to pages now cells links me, 'Luna, the Alpha from Gray Skies is requesting to speak to you.'

'Has he said what it's about?' I ask a little annoyed. I know I have to figure out what to do with him and the rest of his pack, as well as the few from the Night Sniper pack, whose Alpha I took out. I can't keep putting it off and I feel as though I should talk with Aspen and Kimber to see what their thoughts are on it, since they lost their pack and family due to Alpha Benjamin and his pack.

'He hasn't Luna, only that he wants to talk to you.' The guard states.

Oh, now he wants to talk to me when he refused the last time? 'Thank you for informing me of this. You can tell him that I will come see him as soon as I have time."

'Yes, Luna.'

I sigh and glance down at my sleeping son. He looks so much like Gavin that I have to smile. I may not get to have my fist mate in my life but at least I can still look upon him even if Asher does have my auburn hair, it doesn't take away from me seeing so much of his father in him.

Carrying my pup to the nursery, I meet Demi in the hall and hand Asher to her. Ayden is grinding his little hand into his eye, indicating that he's tired as well, "Looks like it's naps all around." I chuckle.

"Oh, yes, Alpha will be bringing Holden up momentarily because he's already asleep in grandma's arms." The nanny informs me, smiling..

I place my hand on her shoulder, "You look wore out, you should try and get a nap in as well."

"Yeah, I may just do that." She then turns and heads towards the nursery.

Declan is just coming up the stairs with Holden as I'm going down, "And where do you think you're going?" He raises a brow at me.

"Alpha Benjamin is requesting to speak to me, so I thought I had better go see what he wants before I get distracted." I smirk while my eyes rake my handsome mate.

"I think you are needed in our room way more than you're needed in the cells; he will still be there later."

"I know, baby, but I will be really quick." I say and go to step down but a large hand, that sends sparks through me, wraps around my upper arm.

"I'm serious, Quinn. I have been more than patient. Most new. mates don't leave their room for at least two days, Duke and I need this."

I hadn't realized how much this was affecting him or Duke, but now that I do, a shiver runs through me, and I nod. Changing my direction, I head to our bedroom to wait for his return.

When Declan comes into the room, he replaces me already stripped and waiting for him on the bed. I'm up on my knees, while they are spread wide, giving him the perfect view. He leans his back against the door momentarily, biting his lower lip as he takes in the sight before him. I notice the bulge in his pants grow the longer he stands there staring at me.

"Ask and you shall receive, my King..."

"Mm," he pushes away from the door and prowls towards me,

Chviding ints pages now.

stripping his shirt off in the process, "Look at you, being a good and obedient mate. You better be careful because I can get used to this." "Only in the bedroom, Alpha." I don't mind submitting to him. sexually, but I'm sure he knows that it's a far fetch to expect it outside of it.

He unbuttons his jeans as he comes to stand at the edge of the bed, but then reaches out and his fingers circle my neck. There isn't enough pressure to hurt me; the only thing it does do is makes my core drip. When he pulls me to him by my neck, I have no choice but to let him. His lips are soft but demanding as they dominate my own in a searing kiss.

Suddenly, I am falling back onto the mattress as he pushes met away. His grip wraps around both ankles and he yanks me to him. before spreading me wide and feasting his eyes on his next meal. Licking his lips like a starved wolf, he goes to his knees and runs. his tongue leisurely up my folds while keeping his gaze on me the whole time.

"Eyes on me, little mate. I want you to watch as I make you come with just my tongue and then devour your essence like it is my last meal." Duke swirls in his eyes as he comes forward, and so I allow Tala to come forward as well, so she can enjoy this time with our mates.

Both hands fist the bedding as his breath hits my sensitive clit each time he speaks, and my walls clench from his words. I replace myself aroused by everything he says to me and when he tells me that there will be no mercy from the things that he's going to do to me, I have a mini orgasm.

He chuckles and laps up the juices that drip out, "It looks like my Queen is in need of something," he states, "Tell me what it is that you want."

"I want you,' I pant out, "I want all of you..."

He grins, "All in good time..." His head then descends down and I'm lost to the pleasure that his mouth is delivering.

I try to buck my hips, but he wraps his arms around my thighs and holds me down as he tortures me with his tongue. His eyes are on me to make sure that I'm following his instruction by watching him as he brings me to my first climax. I don't disappoint him, regardless of how hard it is not to close my eyes and savor the feeling. It's hot as hell, though, to watch your mate eat you out until you come all over their face.

By the time he's had his fill and pulls away, his lower face is shiny with my arousal smeared all over it. He stands and wipes it away with his hand before unzipping his jeans and pulling them off. His cock is hard and angry, and wanting inside of me immediately. Flipping me around as though I'm nothing but a ragdoll, he pushes my head down into the mattress and lifts my hips as high as they will go.

"Ass up, head down, until I tell you otherwise." It's Duke's voice. that commands this of me, and a shiver runs through my entire body. If Declan's wolf is in control for now, I just may be in trouble. My own wolf whimpers at this fact as well, but it doesn't matter because our core still throbs in anticipation of what's to come.

I hope you have enjoyed this longer chapter. We are only a couple away from the end of book 1. Comment your thoughts about this first book...I would love to read them! =)
