The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 100

Declan

I'm at a loss as to what I can do to get through to Quinn. She won't even see me, and all I want is to be there for her. How can I fulfill my promise to my cousin if she won't let me in. She has been through so much in her short life, and if what Gavin told me before. he passed away is true, then she has a fight ahead of her. I know Quinn is strong, but I think this could be the one thing that can. break her, so we need to get her out of her room and back to doing. what she does best, leading her pack and being Asher's mother.

When Gavin told me about his replaceings, everything started to make sense. I can only assume that Luna Stacia kept this secret from Quinn because it is too dangerous if it were to get into the wrong. hands. It definitely explains why she never found her mate. From my knowledge of the Dire wolf, they don't replace their mates until the age of twenty, and that is why Quinn's mom left the letter for her to read the day before she turns twenty. It is also when she will come into whatever powers she may have. I am now quite certain that Quinn is my fated mate. The bond that we have had over the years. and then the syncing of our heartbeats; the attraction between us, and I can't forget how Duke is whenever he is around Tala.

'It's about time you figured it out. I thought you are supposed to be one of the greatest Alphas. Pfft,' Duke muses, 'You're as dumb as a sock of rocks!'

'Seriously, Duke. How was I supposed to know, when none of the signs are really there? The Dire wolf is supposed to be a legend."

'All legends start with some form of truth, Declan... remember that.'

'Well, if it is true, and we are mates, we won't know for another five months yet, and we can't tell her, so all we can do is keep her safe as much as we can.'

'I'm already planning on doing just that, and by the way, Quinn will turn twenty-years-old in four months, twenty-eight days, nine. hours, forty-six minutes, and seventeen seconds.' Duke states smugly. I roll my eyes, 'Nobody like a showoff, Duke.'

'Not showing off, just stating facts.' He gives me a wolfish chuckle.

There's a knock at my office door and my mother pops her head in. She's been taking Gavin's death hard as well; she's always loved him like a son, "Declan, are you going to try and see Quinn today?"

I sigh heavily, "I plan on trying." I've tried seeing her every day since Gavin's funeral, but she has refused to see me, or anyone else for that matter.

"Good. I'm hoping Sara will be there, so we can check on her as well. She hasn't been answering my calls and that good-for- nothing Beta can't tell me anything."

"Of course, Mom. Plan on leaving in about an hour, I'm just waiting for Holden to get up from his nap, so I can take him with us." I'm hoping that seeing him will help to snap Quinn out of the state she is in. "Very well, I'll be ready." She shuts my door, but it opens once again with my Beta's presence.

"Uh, one of the Elders are here." He states.

I look at him confused, "I never received word that they were coming."

"That's because they have been trying to contact Lila. The Elder that performed the ceremony at Quinn and Gavin's union was concerned because your Luna was not at your side." "Un-fucking-believable! My cousin dies and all they are concerned about is a Luna not being at my side?"

Carter holds his hands up in the air, "Hey, don't shoot the messenger!"

I wave it off, "Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. I've just got a lot on my mind." I trust my Beta with my life and with any secret that is mine, but I can't tell him about Quinn's; that is her secret to tell. Trying to get the Elder to leave without talking to Lila was a chore, but eventually he leaves, and I'm able to collect my son and mother, and head over to the Dark Moon pack house.

There's a buzz all around as soon as we enter the territory, and border patrol seems to be in a very good mood. I can't fathom what would be the cause of such joy when their Alpha just passed away almost a week ago. Even as we drive through town, everyone seems to be smiling. It's not until we pull up to the pack house and see Cam, the new Gamma coming down the front steps that I ask why everyone is in a good mood.

"She's back!" The Gamma grins.

"Who's back?" I scratch my head, still not following.

"Alpha Quinn... or Luna Quinn, I mean. She came out of her room this morning barking orders and taking care of the pack's finances. She was even playing with young Ash before he went down for his nap." Dividing into pages now

Cam shrugs, "I don't see why not. I don't know what happened to get her motivated again, but I'm glad she's back."

"Hm, I guess I will go see if she's willing to see me yet. I brought Holden, hoping it would bring her out of her grieving state for a while, but it seems that I didn't need to do that."

"Oh, I'm sure she will love to see him regardless," the Gamma grins, "She's in her office."

"Could you tell me if Sara is here today?" My mother asks Cam.

I believe she is in the nursery, sitting with young Ash. She tends to do that when he sleeps." Sympathy crosses his features.

"Thank you, Gamma." My mother heads straight into the pack house, leaving me to tend to my son. I know she is worried for Sara. She thinks that Sara may believe that my mother will be upset because Daniel was her brother, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

My mother is sad that she lost her brother, but in truth, she lost him many years ago, and she wasn't blind to the things that my uncle had done. She wants to make sure that my aunt Sara knows this and knows that we are still her family.

After taking Holden out of the car, I carry him into the pack house and straight to the second floor. Even though he just woke up from his nap ay home, my son is sound asleep at the moment due to the car ride over. I tap on the office door and wait until I hear her voice.

"Come in, Declan." I jerk back, trying to figure out how she knows it is me, but then I feel it; it's our heartbeats syncing to each other's. I smile and walk in. Dividing into pages how

"I thought you were going to stand out there all afternoon." She chuckles.

"No, it just took me by surprise that you knew it was me." I inform her. She's yet to look up from the desk, "Quinn."

"Hm?"

"Will you look at me."

She sets her pen down and slowly brings her head up until her eyes are staring right at mine. She looks like she's on the brink of breaking down, so instead of asking her how she's doing, I hold up my son's carrier.

"I come bearing a young Alpha." I smile, and my words do it; she smiles back at me and then stands up and comes around the desk.

"My word, look how big he's getting!" Her hands go to her mouth in shock, "It hasn't been that long since I've seen him, has it?"

I laugh, "No, but he did hit a growth spurt over the last two weeks."

"I would say!" She says but then a frown comes over her face. momentarily and then it's gone again.

"Is Ash still down for his nap? I would love for Holden to meet him."

She looks at the time, "He should be up by now." I watch as she links somebody, "Cici is going to have him brought down." She smiles.

I set Holden's carrier down on the floor and know that what I'm about to do could get me kicked out, but it's something that I need to do, and I think it's something that she needs. She isn't expecting Dividing into pages now

me to pull her into my arms and hug her tightly. She struggles for only a moment and then I feel her arms wrap around my waist.

"I'm here, Quinn, I'm always here...just remember that."

What could possibly have put a frown on Quinn's face?

Thanks for reading...I appreciate you all! =)
