The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 99

CHAPTER 99

It all happens so quick that I'm a bit dazed. Alpha Daniel was just trying to pull Ayden from my arms, and I was able to break free of him but then I hear Gavin calling out my name. Next thing I know. he's here in front of me, standing between me and his father, but his face has a look of surprise as he stares right at me.

It feels like time is standing still as I glance behind him and notice. Alpha Daniel is wearing a look of shock as he stares at his son's back. That's when I smell the blood, and at the same time, I hear Declan cry out for Gavin. Glancing down I see blood dripping from a hand that is protruding from Gavin's chest and that's when it all comes crashing down on me.

"GAVIN!!!"

I feel someone pulling Ayden from my arms and hear Alpha Deke's voice, "I'll take him, Luna."

"No, no, no, no, no... you stay with me, baby!" I cry out as soon as I'm able to form words.

"Don't you dare fucking move, Daniel!" I hear Declan command Gavin's father, not letting him pull his arm back through.

"DOCTOR!" I call out and both Dr. Sands and Langly come running over.

"Oh fuck!" The first words out of Langly's mouth.

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! HELP HIM!" I use my own aura to get them moving faster.

"Quinn, baby, s-stop." Gavin drops to his knees, taking his father with him, "I'm not going to m-make it, so you n-need to listen..."

"No! You're going to be fine, Gavin Mace will heal you." I nod my head, trying to make myself believe it.

"No, Baby...I'm not...."

"Why, Gavin? Why did you do it?" Tears begin streaming down my face.

"B-Because I l-love you. I w-would do it again in a h-heartbeat." He coughs and blood sprays out of his mouth.

"Son, I'm so sorry! I never meant for this to happen!" Alpha Dainel states from behind him.

"Shut the fuck up!" I roar at the Alpha, "I will deal with you later!" All I want to do is tear Daniel to shreds, but he's keeping my mate alive. My mate! Mates can help heal their mate! "Gavin, you need to drink my blood, so you can heal!" I tear open my wrist and push. it against his mouth, but he refuses to drink. Instead, he turns his head to the side.

"Quinn, M-Mace is already g-gone."

Fresh tears pour out at hearing this; I never got to say goodbye. No wonder Tala is going ballistic, wanting to break free and destroy everything. I hear Gavin call Declan closer and whisper something into his ear. Declan jerks back and stares shockingly at his dying cousin. It's not long, though, before he shakes off whatever it was that shocked him, and nods at Gavin.

"I will, cousin. I promise I will take care of them both." Both Declan and I are covered in Gavin's blood as we hold him.

Gavin turns back to me, "M-make s-sure you t-tell A-Ash all a-about

Dividing into pages now his d-daddy, and that I l-loved h-him f-fiercely."

"I will, I will tell him every day of his life, baby." I bawl even harder knowing that my son is never going to see his daddy again.

"I H-love you, Q-Quinn. P-Please be h-happy and k-know that I w-will a-always be w-with y-you." He's gasping for breath as he tells me this and my heart is breaking all over again.

"I love you, too, Gavin, and I want you to know that I am so glad that we had all this time together. You will always be my happy place and I will always love you...until my last breath."

He tries giving me his smile that I love so much but I watch as the light goes out in his beautiful green eyes, and I hear his heart stop. I lean down and kiss his still lips, not caring if there is blood on them. It's the last kiss that I will ever share with my Alpha. That's when I feel it...our bond breaking as the last of his life force leaves him and I grab my chest as the pain rips through it. Wails and howls from our pack are heard as each one feels the bond of their Alpha break.

"MY BABY! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BABY!!! Sara pounds on Daniel with her fists; she is hysterical and looks like a madwoman. Then, her claws come out, "Burn in hell, Daniel Davis!" The mourning mother roars as she slams her own claws into her mate's chest and rips out his heart.

She buckles over in pain as her mate's life ends, but then, as if she didn't just tear out her mate's heart, she places a gentle kiss on Gavin's forehead and simply walks away, blood dripping from the heart she still carries in her hand.

The days following Gavin's death are all a blur. We had his service the following morning with the burning of his body following right after. Neither his mother nor I have spoken a word to anybody. Sara has been spending the last few days here, wanting to be near Ash and I let her. He needed it because I haven't been able to spend time with him. Cici brings him in so I can feed him and then leaves with him once more while I hide under my covers.

I know I need to get myself together, but whenever I try, I break down again and end up back in my bed. It smells of Gavin still and that's all I want, is to be able to still scent him; it helps me get through each day. All of his clothes are still hanging up as well, and I've already threatened all the staff that if anybody touches one article of his clothing, I will turn them rogue. It's not like me, but that's my state of mind now. Decian has tried getting in to see me, but I refuse to see anyone but my son, and of course Cici when she brings him, but she knows better than to try talking to me. I notice Gavin's cell phone on top of his dresser, and I jump out of bed and grab it. Going back to my little hideaway, I try turning his phone on but it's dead.

Finding his charger still over by his side of the bed, I sit on the floor and plug his phone in. I have to sit here for a bit until there is enough charge to turn it on, but then I go straight to his photo gallery. I never knew how many pictures he captured, but I see now that he was always snapping them of me and Ash and even the two of us when I wasn't looking or when I was sleeping. Yeah, it's a little creepy, and I'm so glad he did it.

Next are the videos he took, mainly for Ash, but there is one that is titled 'For Quinn'. Settling back against the bed, I press play.

'Hey my gorgeous Luna! At least I hope you're my Luna. I was making a video for our son and thought I would make one for you too!'

I begin to cry hearing his voice as he talks to me. That sparkle in

his eye is there and his gorgeous smile is back in place.

'I just want to tell you how much you mean to me, Quinn. You are my world, and I can't imagine living in this world without you by my side. I am so glad that I waited for you, because even though there have been a few bad times, I wouldn't have traded any of it if it meant that I wouldn't have you. Thank you for taking a chance on me and thank you for bearing me an amazing son. Always remember that you are my sun, my moon, and the air that I breathe. Without you, I would be nothing, so thank you for loving me, Quinn. If there ever comes a day that I can't be here for you, I hope you continue being the amazing woman that you are. You are strong, and you have gotten through so much, so I want you to live...LIVE Quinn. Do it for me, but most of all, do it for our son. Show him how amazing life can be and he will grow up to do great things.

Uh oh, I hear you coming, I better go... mwah,' he blows the camera a kiss, 'I love you, Luna Quinn Night Davis!'

The video stops and I rewind it just a little and then pause it, so I can stare at the smile that made me fall in love with him over and over again.

It took me quite a long time to get this written. I'm very emotional when it comes to my characters, and I let myself fall in love with

I Gavin, so lots of tears were shed on my end. I'm sorry Team Gavin, but Alpha Gavin Asher Davis has signed off... =(
