The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 173

Chapter 23

Spencer

I hear commotion all around me as I double over in pain. My senses are all out of whack at the moment as well but all I can think about is my mate. He doesn't know about wolfsbane and how it can be poisonous if it's ingested. I try glancing around but all I see is double of everything and I can't smell Ledger anywhere.

"Ledger, where are you? Call out to me!" I wait but hear nothing, "Ledger, call out to me!"

"Beta, he's gone, so is Alpha Declan!" One of the warriors informs me.

"What do you mean they are gone? Gone where, back to the pack house?"

"No, the Shikari took them. As soon as they blew the wolfsbane into the air, they grabbed them both and disap- peared into thin air! We had no time to get to them before they were just... gone."

"Shit! Get me back to the pack house, now! Where is Pe- ter?" I ask.

"I'm here, Beta! I'm in the same boat as you, my senses are fucked."

"Fuck! We had one job! One motherfucking job, protect Ledger and the Alpha, and we fucked it all up!" I punch at the ground multiple times, not caring that I'm cutting my knuckles all up."

"Spencer, Spencer!" I hear Cici's voice, and it crushes me that I've failed her. I feel the sparks as soon as her hands touch me, "Baby, talk to me! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, but..." My voice cracks and I can't finish my sentence.

"What happened, baby? Where are Ledger and the Alpha? Quinn and I can't feel them any longer."

"They took them! They blew wolfsbane at us and next thing I know, I'm on the ground calling out for Ledger but there was no answer. A warrior told me that the Shikari took them both, he said they just disappeared. I'm sorry, I'm so sor- ry that I couldn't protect our mate!"

"Shh, it's okay, baby. We will get him back; somehow, we will bring him back home."

"How? We don't even know where they are!"

"Hey," she pulls away from me, "Are you giving up on our mate already?"

"No, but..."

"No fucking buts, Spencer! We will search high and low if we have to, but Ledger will come home where he belongs!" If anybody can move a mountain and bring our mate home, it will be Cici, but my worry is, will I lose her in the process?

"I'm sorry Quinn, none of us expected that they would pull something like that. I guess we underestimated them, but to be honest I think they used it as a last resort. Once they found out who Declan was, that he was your mate, that's when they pulled their little stunt." me.

"Who the fuck told them who he was?" The Luna growls at

"Uh, he did, Luna. When they learned that I was only the Beta, they said to come talk to them when I turned into an Al- pha, and that's when Declan stepped up and told them that he was the Alpha of these two packs. They knew right then that he was your mate and he confirmed it."

"UGH! That stupid Alpha! I love him to death, but I swear need to hold his hand sometimes." She slams her palm down on the desk, "I guess all we can do is wait now. They will con- tact us."

"How do you know?" Cici asks.

"Because I'm the one they want, that's why they took my mate." She answers my mate.

There is a knock on the office door and Dr. Sands pokes his head in, "Uh, a moment of your time please, Luna?"

"Now is not a good time, Jonah." She rubs her forehead and closes her eyes.

"Oh, but I think now is the perfect time." He responds.

Quinn sighs and opens her eyes, "Fine, what is it?"

"Well, Alpha Declan came to me this afternoon, asking me for a favor. And well, I thought he was a bit paranoid, but now I'm glad he was." The doctor chuckles.

"Please Jonah, don't talk in riddles, just come out and say it. Why did my mate come to you?"

"Alpha wanted me to put a tracker in him before he left, just in case." He states.

We all perk up at hearing this, "Declan has a tracker in him? Like the one you used in Lila?"
