The Alpha Who Saved Me
Chapter 106

CHAPTER 106

Declan

After I had gotten back home from dropping Quinn off at her place, I gave instructions to the night guard at the cells to let Lila out and have her come straight to my office. I know I shouldn't because of all the other shit she has pulled, but now that I know that Holden is really mine, I will try to be a little more lenient with the she-wolf. That doesn't mean that I won't shove her back into her cell is she fucks up again, bu for now, I will free her. Besides, The Elders. emailed me again, informing me that they will be here the day after tomorrow to talk with both me and my Luna, so I guess I had better make sure she has enough time to be presentable.

A soft rap on my doorframe has me looking up at a disheveled Lila, "Come in and shut the door."

She obeys my command immediately and comes to stand in front of my desk, a bit meekly. I lean back in my chair and look her up and down. She looks like total shit, but I guess that's what she gets for acting the way she does and doing the things she does.

"I've called you here to let you know that the Elders are coming the day after tomorrow and want to talk to both of us. You will act accordingly while they are here, or you will go back to the cells once they leave." I'm not about to be soft with her just because I know the truth about my son. She's still a heartless bitch that cares nothing of the child that we made together except to use him for her own gains. "With all due respect, Alpha, I am the Luna of this pack and I feel as though I have been tremendously mistreated. I know what I did.

was wrong, but I did it a long time ago, I'm trying to change for the better now."

I lift a brow, "Oh, so you're not still listening in to my conversations that take place in my office?"

"Well, I..."

"Oh, save it, Lila; I won't believe a word that comes out of your mouth, anyway." I stand up and move over to my window, watching the stars twinkle in the clear sky briefly, "You know, there has been another test done on Holden and me to make sure he really is mine."

I can see her shrug through the reflection in the grass and I turn back to her, "I'm not worried because I know that he is yours."

"That's about the only true thing that has come out of your mouth in all this time." I snicker.

"Alpha, I have never lied about my feelings for you." She tries using her feminine wiles on me this time, putting a bit of sultriness into her voice, but I scoff.

"Give it up, Lila. If that were true, then you would have rejected your mate by now, but you haven't, have you?" I wanted to see her reaction to see if Quinn's suspicions are correct.

Lila doesn't disappoint as her face gives it away before she even tries lying about it, "I don't have a mate, Alpha."

Not having any other choice, I put all of my effort into my Alpha command, "Tell me the truth, Luna Lila, who is your fated mate?" Luna's can fight the Alpha command, and Lila can to an extent, but since we haven't marked and mated, she can only fight it so much.

The she-wolf goes to her knees and bows her head, "Please,

Alpha...

"TELL ME!"

She whimpers, but.when I push more of my aura out, she breaks, "It's Langly...Dr. Langly!"

I let off my command for the time being, "You will reject him."

"What? No..."

"Yes! If you want to keep the Luna position, you will reject your lover, or I will put him to death." I growl.

I will do no such thing, but I do realize that everything that he had a hand in is because of the bond. He is a good male and I refuse to let this bitch manipulate him any longer. "Please, Alpha..."

"Fine," I walk around my desk and open the door to replace Langly waiting on the other side, "Come in doctor." I had already linked him as soon as I knew she was lying.

"Okay, fine!" Lila cries out, "I, Lila Benton, Luna of the Storm River pack, reject you, Dr. Peter Langly of the Storm River pack as my fated mate."

Langly looks crushed, but he's a smart guy and knows that this is for the best, "I, Dr. Peter Langly, of the Storm River pack, accepts your rejection, Lila Benton, Luna of the Storm River pack."

They both double over as the pain of the broken bond takes hold. All too soon, though, the pain is gone and the doctor turns to me, "Thank you, Alpha. You don't realize how relieved I am that I'm no longer under the pull of the bond."

I nod, "You may go."

Langly glances at Lila sadly before continuing out the door, closing it softly behind him. When I look down at Lila still kneeling on the floor, I notice the tears streaming down he face, but I can't let myself care, not anymore.

"1

"Get up."

She stands slowly but keeps her eyes on the floor.

"Look at me, Lila," she hesitates a moment and then her tearful eyes meet mine, "What are the tears for? It's not like you cared about your mate."

She doesn't even try lying about it, "I knew that eventually you would be rid of me, and I wanted to have my mate when I was no longer Luna."

"Do you replace that fair to Langly, watching his mate be with

someone else, raising a child with someone else?" There is anger to my voice, "You are right about one thing, though. I will replace a way to denounce you as my Luna, and since we have not mated, it will be much easier to convince the Elders. You should know, that once you leave, Holden will remain here, with me."

"You can't do this to me, Alpha! What have I done to deserve the treatment that I have endured since you decided you wanted that she-wolf?" Lila's face twists in anger as she mentions the last part. "Watch your tongue, Lila," I warn, "I called it quits before any of that started with Quinn. I stopped it because you didn't want to heed my words about getting attached." I growl. "Whatever you say, Alpha. I will await the Elders in my room, but don't expect me to lie to them about my treatment here." She turns and goes to leave, but I stop her once more. "Lila Benton," I call out in my Alpha command once more, "You WILL confirm everything that I tell the council, and you will not reveal your living arrangements for the past few months." Once again, the bitch is on her knees, whimpering under my command, "Okay, yes!"

I release her from the command, "Leave."

She gets up off the floor and glares at me before scurrying from the room. I press my fingers on each temple and rub the slight ache that throbs underneath. I hate using the Alpha command, but damn it, the woman tests me at every turn. She thinks that she has done nothing wrong, that everything she has done has been the normal thing to do. She will soon realize that isn't the case and there will always be consequences for her actions. I can't believe she hasn't figured that part out already. All that blonde dye must have gone to her head.

Waking up at six in the morning is usually the norm for me, so when I glance at the clock and see that it's already almost eight in the morning, I groan. I hate waking up late. I get up and jump into the shower first thing before making my way down to the kitchen for some much-needed coffee. I pass Lila with her own mug and completely ignore her as I continue on my way.

The hot liquid flows smoothly down my throat as I lean against the counter, my coffee in one hand, and my cell in the other. It's quiet at this time and so I just stand here and savor the moment of peace because I know that as soon as I get to my office the peace and quiet will end, it always does.

Finishing my first cup, I pour myself one more and head upstairs. Sure enough, Carter is waiting on me already with a folder in his

hands. He watches me as I walk around to the other side of my desk and take my seat. I'm purposely ignoring him, trying to keep the quiet for just as long as I can. Once there is nothing else for me to do, I take a deep breath, exhale, and then look straight at my Beta, "What do you have for me?"

"I've got the results for all the new recruits. Keegan gave them to me last night, but I knew you were busy with other things." He stretches his arm across the desk and hands me the folder.

"Thank you. Have you looked at them yet?" I open the folder and scan the pages, happy about what I'm seeing.

"Yes, they are all doing very well, half of them exceeding our expectations already." My Beta grins.

"I see that. Give them all a night off and order pizza and beer for them, they deserve it." I throw the folder down and turn my computer on.

"They will definitely be thrilled about that!" He chuckles and heads out, leaving me to deal with all the other shit sitting on my desk.

Waiting on my computer to boot up, I drink down the rest of my coffee, crack my neck and my knuckles, and then dive right into the stacks of finances that litter my desk.
