The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 116

CHAPTER 116

Being the only female in an all-male Alpha meeting is intimidating, but they are all respectful to me. I'm not only a female, but I'm the youngest as well, so when they consider any and all of my suggestions, I can't help but feel as accomplished as the rest of the Alpha's are. Declan has always been one of my biggest fans, for reasons that we already know, but for Alpha Deke, Alpha Carson, and many of the others to praise me, it gives me a warm tingly feeling.

Once we come up with a game plan, one that I'm not all too happy about because none of it includes me going into battle, the Alphas and their Betas and Gammas begin to disperse. When I gather my things and head for the door, Declan calls out to me.

"I was hoping that I could give you a ride because there is something important that I need to talk to you about." He looks serious, so I hand my keys over to Spencer.

"There better not be a scratch on her." I raise my brow.

My Beta chuckles, "I promise not to hurt your baby, Luna."

All the males chuckle but I continue my glare at him even though it doesn't faze him one bit. When they start walking out, I hear my Gamma's next words, "I wonder how fast she can go."

"You better not find out!" I holler back, but then return my attention back to Declan, "If they hurt her, you're buying me a brand new one!"

"I promise I will buy you a new one, but I doubt Spence will let anything happen to it." He chuckles.

Say

to talk to me about, better be worth the worry." I can't help the grin that appears on my face when I'm trying to be serious.

He sweeps his hand in front of himself, "After you, Luna."

I love his Tesla. He doesn't drive it much anymore because he has the Jeep for when he has Holden, but when he does drive this car, I'll admit, he looks hot. I run my had over the sleek black hood as I walk around to the passenger side; Declan is already at the door holding it open for me.

"Careful now, you wouldn't want to leave a scratch on it." He says sarcastically and then winks at me just before I get in, smirking.

"So, did you really want to discuss something with me or was that just an excuse to tease me with your car?" I muse. We have already been on the road for five minutes and he's yet to say anything so far.

"Yeah, about that. I'm not quite sure how to approach it with you yet." He give a nervous chuckle.

"Just spit it out. It's me Declan, you can talk to me about anything."

"Oh-kay, well... I think you need to read your mother's last letter to you sooner rather than later." His words almost run together as he says them so fast.

"Why do you think that, and how much sooner are you thinking?" I scrunch my brows together.

He sighs, "Deke and I both think that there is something in that letter that has to do with these attacks, and I think you should open it soon... like tonight."

"Declan..."

"I know, I know, believe me, I wouldn't be saying anything or even bringing it up if I honestly didn't think that there is a connection. I understand why your mother left you the letter, I really do, but how could she have known what the future would hold for you." He reaches over and takes my hand, "I know how much this means to you, but I really think that whatever is in that letter would have already surfaced if your parents were still here."

I just stare at him for a moment, studying his features and what could possibly be going on in that brain of his, "It almost sounds like you know what's in the letter."

"It's nothing like that, I swear, Quinn. If mine and Deke's hunch is right, though, you need to know what it is that your mother left you. In fact, you are going to need that information because it may be what helps save your life."

It's my turn to chuckle nervously, "You're kind of scaring me, Declan."

"I'm sorry, that's not my intention, but with everything going on, don't you think we should know everything that we possibly can?” He squeezes my hand before letting it go, and I miss the warmth of it right away.

We remain silent for the rest of the car ride, and once he puts the car in park, I jump out before he has the chance to do so himself and open my door. It doesn't stop him from getting out of the car though.

"Quinn, please don't be upset with me." He pleads.

I turn back to face him and give him a small smile, "I'm not mad at
