The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 103

CHAPTER 103

Declan

One step forward, and two steps back. That's how I'm feeling right now where Quinn is concerned. I shouldn't have gotten upset with her because she was trying to help, but I wish she would have come to me first. I know I've always questioned whether or not Holden is really mine even after paternity was verified, but it's already been a year and I love the little guy with everything I've got. I'd give my life for him, so I'm not sure how I would feel finding out that he isn't really mine.

I've got to find a way to make things right with Quinn again, especially if we really are mates. I never meant to make it sound like everything she has been going through is not as important as my personal matters. I wasn't thinking when I said what I said, but trying to get her to talk to me, so I can explain, is going to be hard.

Quinn is hard-headed and stubborn, which are a few of the reason why I love her, but it can be so frustrating when it's turned on me. I' ve tried calling her a few times this morning, but she continues to ignore my calls, so all I can do is give her time, I guess.

My Beta comes walking through the door since I had left it wide open. I always try to keep the open-door policy where as long as it' s open, you can come in, but most people knock out of respect, except my best friend.

"Hey Dec, my sister just stopped by. She said that this was to be delivered to you and she is the only one that she trusted to deliver it, so she came herself, but she didn't want to be the one to give it to you."

I look between him and the manilla envelope a bit strangely before holding out my hand to take it, "Did she say anything else?"

"She said something about being the one to find it and then forgot about it?" He responds confused by what she meant.

I freeze because I don't need to open this to know what is inside of it. Dropping it on top of my desk, I just stare at it as if it's going to jump up and attack me. The contents of that envelope can do irrevocable damage and I don't know if I can make myself open it.

"What is it?" Carter asks.

"Information that I don't know if I'm ready for, or if I ever want to know." My voice is low and husky as I continue to stare at it.

"Can you enlighten me just a little bit? What information are we talking about?" My Beta is getting concerned by my reaction, but I' m just stunned at the fact that the answers that I wanted to know over a year ago, are now sitting in front of me.

"It's DNA test results between me and my son. Quinn had Dr. Sands perform the test without me knowing, and the results are inside that envelope."

"Oh wow!" Carter now stares at the envelope the same way I am, "What are you going to do?"
