The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 143

CHAPTER 143

The little impromptu tryst in the woods on the way back from the cells was a bit of a surprise. I won't lie, the way he took me was fucking hot. If it wasn't for his smooth talking wolf, it probably wouldn't have happened, though. I was serious when I told him that Duke put a spell on me. It felt as though I wasn't myself, and yet I did; it's difficult to explain.

There are so many new things happening to not only me, but to Declan as well, which was totally unexpected. I can only assume, without reading up on it, that the legend's said mate, takes on some of the Dire wolf traits as well. I'm interested to learn more and to start trying to figure out what powers I have inherited, if any, but I must take care of a few things first.

Declan and I are standing here, in front of all Dark Moon's pack members, trying to explain what has happened. Most are all smiles, excitement sparkling in their eyes, and some are apprehensive, which I don't blame them at all. I may have been in that category myself had it not been me who is standing up here. Declan does tell them about the Shikari and that everyone needs to be careful when they are out and about in the human town or even letting their wolves run. Now that our packs are combining for the time being, we are opening up the western border and they will be able to run their wolves a longer distance within the safety of our territories. The same will go for Storm River pack members running in our territory.

As soon as we are finished answering all their questions, Declan and I head over to his pack to do it all over again. They all seem thrilled to see us and hear that we are fated mates, but they burst with joy when they learn that I will be challenging Lila for my

rightful place as their Luna, especially when we inform them that they are welcome to come and watch. None of them seem upset by the knowledge that I am the Dire wolf, and their Alpha is now my King. Maybe it's because he has always been their Alpha, whereas my pack comes from all over and many of them lost their pack because of me. Not so much because of me, but because the rebel packs were looking for me. A lot of them lost loved ones because of it, and I'm not sure how to go about making amends on something that I never knew about. I won't apologize for my heritage, it's a part of who I am and where I came from, but I can at least apologize for those who were not educated enough and who thought they needed to do what they did in order to protect their own loved ones.

We are back in the car on the way back to my territory, so I can get ready to fight Lila, when a thought pops into my head, "What will Holden think of me when he grows up and finds out that I killed his biological mother?"

"Why are you worrying about that now?" He lifts my hand to kiss it.

I stare at him in disbelief, "Because I haven't done the deed yet and I'm wondering if it's the right choice!"

"Would you rather her go free and you never become my Luna? You know damn well that she will not hand it over, and I sure as fuck am not going to live another day with her having the title that belongs to my real Luna."

"I know she needs to be taken care of, but is it worth Holden hating me in the future for not giving him the chance to know his real mother?"

"Quinn, you are his real mother. He's been calling me dada for a

while now, and he had plenty of chances to call Lila mama, but he never once said the word until you. Even he knows that you are his mother. He feels your love, and the bond between you two grows stronger every day. I think I can speak for my son when I say that he will always love you."

"You really know how to talk a gal down from the ledge, don't you? What is it with you and Duke anyway? Did you inherit some form of power over me when we mated?" I glare at him playfully.

His laughter goes straight to my heart, "I promise you that we have no power like that. The only power we have over you is our cock."

I gasp as I slap him in the arm, "Declan!"

"Well, is it not true?"

I pretend to ignore his question as I stare out the window, trying hard not to laugh. I can't believe he even said that...it doesn't matter if it's true, I'll never admit to it!

He turns onto the road that leads to the pack house and we wave at the warriors that are on patrol. They bow their heads at us instead of waving and Declan chuckles, "What's so funny?" I ask him a bit annoyed.

"You're so cute when you're vexed. They simply nodded instead of waving and you're all over here huffing away." His smile may be gorgeous but it's annoying as fuck when it's teasing me.
