The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 105

CHAPTER 105

I'm sitting in one of the Alpha meetings that I must attend, discussing the attacks on packs that are far enough away, but close enough to still be concerned. These meetings are getting. tiring because it's not as if these attacks are specific. No, these attacks are about the damn Dire wolf once again. It makes no sense at all. They have been attacking these packs, not knowing if the legendary wolf is actually in the pack, but because one wolf is faster or a lot stronger than the rest, and it gets out, these rebel packs are attacking.

A memory comes to mind of when Gavin made me promise not to show my strength or speed to others, because it could be dangerous. I think this is why; he didn't want us being targeted again. Declan keeps glancing across the table at me, and it's really starting to annoy the fuck out of me, so the next time he does it, I kick him in the shin, hard. He curses loudly and I chuckle because the whole room goes quiet.

Alpha Deke, who is heading up this month's meeting, stares at Declan with a raised brow, "Do you have an issue with what I just suggested, cousin?"

"Sorry, no. I was just remembering that I forgot to do something before coming here, but please, proceed." He then gives me the evil eye and turns his attention back to Deke.

"That wasn't very nice." His voice rumbles close to my ear once the meeting is over. I'm standing by myself, texting Demi to make sure all is well with Ash, and I jump when Declan's words find my ears.

"Goddess!" I grab my chest, "Give a girl a heart attack why don't you!"

"You practically took my leg off!" He scowls playfully.

"Well, it isn't nice to stare, and you wouldn't quit. I had to do something!" I chuckle.

"I wasn't meaning to stare. I guess I was just reminded of your pack's attack years ago, for these very reasons. I'm worried that they will come back." He looks concerned.

"Let them! We are ready for them. If they want to mess with us, I will show them where they can shove their legendary Dire wolf!" These rebels get me so worked up at times, killing and injuring innocent people over a story made to be a bedtime story.

Declan smirks at me.

"What?"

"Has anybody ever told you how cute you look when you get your panties in a bunch?" He asks it jokingly, but I still blush.

I'm not blushing so much from the comment, but from the little tingle that shoots through my core. I haven't felt anything like that since Gavin was alive. It's been two and a half months since I've felt anything like that, and I'm not quite sure I am ready for it. It's not like Declan meant anything by it, he's always teased me, but for some reason, my body responded to it in a different way this time.

"Is everything alright? Did I say something wrong?" Declan asks all concerned.

I smile, "No, just a memory that I didn't really want to have, but I don't want to talk about it if it's alright with you."
