The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 68

CHAPTER 68

Gavin

Going to my cousin for help after Quinn was taken once again was both a good thing and a bad thing. I have more eyes out searching for her with all his contacts, but then I have to hear his wrath, like it was my fault that she was taken. He forgets that he called me back to my pack house the morning that she was taken, otherwise, I would have been with her. He doesn't see me throwing that in his face, though. I know we are all on edge especially since it's already been three months.

If it wasn't for her pack bond, we would never know if she was still alive or not, so we thank the Goddess every day for keeping her alive. Seeing Declan break down multiple times shows me just how much he truly loves Quinn, but I'm in love with her as well, and he needs to realize that.

My father came back a few weeks ago, taking over the pack once again, and I couldn't be happier about it because it leaves more time for me to search for my future Luna. For someone who was all gun-ho about uniting the two packs, though, he doesn't seem to be concerned about helping to find her. In fact, he's refused to help, saying that they need to just name a new Alpha and label her as MIA.

I probably shouldn't have punched my father, and Alpha in the face that day, but it felt so damn good, and it earned me a bit of respect with my cousin when I told him about it. If I didn't have a conscience, I'd get rid of the old man all together. I'm sure nobody would say a word about his unexpected death, but I'm a better man than he is.

"How can there not be a trace of Quinn after all this time?" Declan slams his fist down on his desk.

"I've already told you, cousin, this all points to Jasper. There were no traces the last time he took her, either, and they also worked with rogues. Why would you think otherwise? I'm telling you, if we find Jasper Sanders, we will find Quinn!" Goddess, he makes me angry sometimes! He acts as though I don't know what I'm talking about.

"I'm not counting him out, Gavin, but I'm not counting others out either." He makes a good point, but something deep down is telling me that Jasper has her.

"Fine! You follow up on all the other suspects, and I will follow up on Jasper." I walk out of his office, slamming the door behind me.

I decided to stop over at Dark Moon pack to check and see how things are going. Spencer has been doing an amazing job with keeping up on everything, but he's exhausted, and he wants his Alpha back; we all want her back. She is missed enormously by all of her pack members, that's how great of an Alpha she is. It's how all packs should feel about their leader.

A frown crosses my face when I see a familiar car parked in front of the pack house. I speed up my myself and then slam on my breaks as I get to the front of the house. My father is just coming out of the house with Spencer when I climb out of my vehicle.

"Father, what brings you to Dark Moon?" All I can think of is Demi and Ayden being found out as I glance around our surroundings.

"I came to see if I could lend a hand. You gave me something to think about the other day," he rubs his chin and chuckles, "So, I came here to see where the investigation is sitting at. Spencer,

here," he slaps the Beta on the shoulder, "has been very hospitable."

"Good. I'm sure Alpha Quinn will be quite proud once we bring her back home." I state while staring at my father warily.

"Well, I better be off now. A pack doesn't run itself; you know!" He laughs at his own joke and then descends the steps and heads toward his car. Before he gets into it, he turns back to me, "And Gavin, you tell that bitch, Demi, that she best return my son to his rightful pack." He gets into his car and leaves.

"Fuck!" I run my hand through my hair and turn to look at Spencer.

"I swear, he never let on that he knew they were here, but he did look around a lot, as if he was expecting someone to come around the corner at any moment." He sighs heavily.

"How the fuck did he know they were here? I swear, he has eyes and ears everywhere." I kick at the dirt, "Like we don't have enough to worry about!"

"What should I do? I mean, I know Quinn would keep them

protected, but I'm not Quinn, and I don't want anything happening to either one of them." The Beta's concern for my baby brother and his mother is commendable.

"I will figure out a safe place to take them until shit settles and I can take over as Alpha. FUCK!" I fist my hair, "We should be trying to take down that asshole, but we can't afford to take our focus off finding Quinn."

"Do you think we will ever find her?" Spencer asks with a voice laced with sadness. He's been beating himself up ever since she was taken because he didn't get to her in time, and the fact that she was even able to slip away by herself.

"We will find her, Spencer. Don't ever doubt that." I place my hand on his shoulder and squeeze.
