The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 102

CHAPTER 102

He stares dumbfoundedly at me as though I'm speaking in different tongues, "Declan, say something."

"I'm sorry," he clears his throat, "I thought I heard you say that the test was for me and my son."

I swallow hard, "That's exactly what I said."

"Why would you do that behind my back, Quinn? Don't you think you should have talked to me first?"

"I'm sorry, you're right. I just knew you had so much going on and since we didn't trust Langly at that time, I went ahead and asked Dr. Sands the night you put the transmitter into Lila. You had a lot going on, and I honestly forgot about it after because not too long afterward, I went into labor."

"Well, what did the results say?" He asks very annoyed.

"I don't know. I didn't look at them because I was going to give them to you to look at first." I say softly.

"Where are they now?" He asks.

"I'm not quite sure, I'll have to see if I can replace the envelope." I reply sheepishly.

"Oh nice, so results saying whether or not my son is really my son are just floating around?"

Now I'm upset as I step right up into his space and poke him in the chest, "I'm sorry that I went behind your back to replace out what you should have found out a long time ago but didn't, and I'm sorry that I misplaced the fucking results, but I lost my fucking mate and my son lost his father, so excuse me for not putting your problems ahead of my own!"

"Now you're putting words into my mouth!" He scowls at me.

I don't have anything else to say to him at the moment, so I go over and pick up Holden. Pressing a kiss to his cheek, "Goodnight sweet boy, I will see you soon." I then go to Amelia and give her a hug, thanking her for coming. Turning around, I give Ash a kiss on the head, "Please bring him to me before you put him to bed."

"I will." She smiles sadly at me after hearing mine and Declan's conversation.

I then walk out of the dining room and head up to my suite of rooms. Declan calls after me, but I ignore him each time. He tries to come after me, but I hear his mother stop him and then chastise him for upsetting me.

The next morning as I'm just getting to my office, Cici stops me, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Of course, I'm always here for you to talk to. Well, unless I've been kidnapped my psychos, in early labor, or grieving over my mate dying, but otherwise, I'm here."

She flinches and starts backing away. I grab her hand and bring her into my office, "All I meant is that unless it's under bizarre circumstances, I'm here for you." I chuckle.

"You do seem to get into the most bizarre situations, don't you?" She snickers.

"Yeah, well, hopefully those days are over. Now, what brings you to

me, aside from me being your bestie and you just can't bear to stay away from me."

She laughs, "Look at you being all full of yourself. It's good seeing the old you again."

I gasp playfully, "Are you saying I'm conceited?"

"Not at all, bitch."

We both have a good laugh, and when we finally settle down, Cici pulls something from her back pocket, "That night I helped you change out of your dirty clothes. I didn't think anything of it at the time because we were all going through a great loss, and then I forgot all about it. I heard bits and pieces of your conversation with Alpha Declan last night and thought that maybe this is what you were referring to." She places a folded envelope on my desk with red smears all over it.

I go to pick it up until I realize what the smears are, and I snatch. my hand away. I shake my head back and forth, "I don't want it, but if you could please pass it on to Alpha Declan, I would appreciate it." "Quinn..."

"No, Cici, I'm not going to talk about it. I know now what I did was wrong, but you know what, I would do it again if it meant getting. him away from that bitch, but hey, maybe he wants to keep her in his life, so I'm washing my hands of it. Whatever those test results say, no longer matters to me. I will not butt into his life any longer. My life is fucked up enough, without adding that shit show to it as well."

"You don't mean that, Quinn. This isn't you." My friend states.

Snickering, I lean back in my chair, "I love you to death Cici, but you

don't know what the fuck I've been through, so I apologize if I don't seem like myself these days, but I had to grow the fuck up and reinforce my backbone," I lean forward and grab my pen, "Now, if you could please deliver that to its rightful owner," I point to the blood-stained envelope, "I have work that I need to catch up on."

I start writing gibberish until I hear the door close, and I drop my pen. Covering my face, I give way to the tears that I have been desperately trying to hold back.

The rest of the day everyone in the pack house has been walking on eggshells around me. Cici must have said something about our little meeting and even though I'm not mad at anyone here in the house, they stay away anyway. I really don't mind too much, though. It gives me time to put things into perspective without being interrupted. The only time I let myself not think about the stressful stuff is when I spend time with my son.

Aside from his hair, which is the color of mine, Ash is the spitting image of his father, right down to his beautiful green eyes. I couldn't ask the Goddess for anything more perfect than this. He's going to be such a ladies' man when he's older if he looks anything. like his father, which that seems to be the case.

I'm talking to him in my mommy voice and blowing raspberries on his belly when suddenly I see his first real smile. Excitement takes hold and I continue to make him smile because he's got HIS smile as well and I have missed it so very much. A warm breeze comes through the window, just like it did yesterday, and I know that Gavin is here with us watching his son smile for the first time.

Some may think I'm crazy for thinking that a simple warm breeze is probably just that, but we have a cool front going through this week and the temps have only been in the low fifties, so yes, I

really do believe that my mate is here, watching over us. He told me he would be and if I know anything, I know that Gavin was always one to keep his word to me. I hold Ash close to my heart and whisper to him, "Daddy loves you."

Thanks for reading peeps!

Your thoughts on Quinn having the test done? =)
