The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 114

CHAPTER 114

Once everything is cleaned up and the enemy's bodies are burned, everyone comes back to the pack house's front lawn, so we can have a meeting. Those that are injured go home to let their wolves. heal them or the really bad ones make their way to the hospital to have Dr. Sands patch them up. Declan's pack have already headed home after I've thanked them profusely. I tried offering them to stay for a BBQ but they all refuse, and I think Declan has something to do with it. It irritates me that he won't allow me to thank his men in my own way, but I've got more important things to deal with at the moment.

"Spencer," I grab his attention as soon as I spot him coming. towards me, "Please, tell who it is that we lost!" I need to know who it is that gave his life for this pack.

"He was one of the newer pack members, Alpha. His name was Andrew. He's only been with us for two months, but he's got a mate."

I close my eyes, "Oh, Goddess! Who is his mate?"

Unexpectedly, a male voice speaks up and another warrior steps forward, "I am, Alpha Quinn. I'm Vince, and we were mated two years ago." There is a crack in his voice at the end, but he holds himself well.

I walk down the steps and make my way toward the grieving mate. Pulling him into me, I hug him tightly, "I am so very sorry for your loss, Vince. Andrew was a brave warrior and he will never be forgotten."

"Andrew lived for being a warrior. He was always excited to go to

training. When we left our old pack, it was because they wouldn't accept us as mates because we are the same sex, so we wandered around looking for a new pack. We heard Dark Moon's name come up so many times that we decided to head here. You made us feel welcomed and accepted, and for that I will always be grateful, and will serve you always." The warrior then takes a knee and I smile.

Suddenly, every warrior and non-warrior on the front lawn are going down, one by one, as they take a knee before me. I can't stop the tears that begin to fall at the sight in front of me. Declan comes to my side and puts his arm around my shoulder and pulls me into him for comfort, and I accept it.

Once the moment passes, I straighten myself back up, "Please stand," I call out, "Thank you for your loyalty, and in return, I will be the best Luna that I can be and will train your future Alpha to be an Alpha that you can all love and look up to!" I look back at Vince, "I would like to put up a monument in honor of all the fallen warriors. that have left us, and with your permission, I would like to add your mate's name to it as well."

Vince lets a single tear slip down his cheek, "I would be honored, and I know Andrew would be as well."

"I would like you to join us for a private dinner this evening, Vince. Then, once the sun goes down, we will see your mate off, sending him back to the Goddess Selene where he can watch over you."

"Thank you, Alpha, but I must turn down your generosity. I think I need to be alone tonight, but I would be honored to join your another night, if possible."

"Oh, of course, how thoughtless of me! Do you mind if I come check in on you in a few days?" I ask. I always worry about mates who lose their loved one, and even though I was strong enough to fight the despair, not every mate can.

"I would appreciate that very much, Alpha." Vince replies as he bows his head to me.

"Good, now go and do what you need to do. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything. I will see you later this evening, Vince."

"Thank you again, Alpha." He then turns and walks through the crowd who expresses their sympathy to him as he passes.

"I have people looking into the Gray Skies pack," Declan informs us, "I want to know exactly where they come from and what we are up against. I also have scouts out watching their movements."

Declan and I call an emergency meeting with all our allies. Alphas, Betas, Gammas and Head Warriors are all in attendance, here in Dark Moon territory. We are worried that there may be another attack, so I don't want to go too far. Obviously, they have misinformation if they think that there is a Dire wolf among my pack. This is the second time that my pack has been targeted due to others mistaking us for something that we are not.
