The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 71

CHAPTER 71

Gavin

I've recruited one of the she-wolves to help me try and locate the former Luna's safe since she was part of the help back in the day of Alpha Lincoln and Luna Stacia's reign. We have already

searched the Luna's suite of rooms, and now we are tearing apart each room, floor-by-floor.

Maybe it's wrong for us to be doing this, but Quinn's life is at stake, and I know that whatever is in that safe will be able to help us, I just know it! The problem is, Luna Stacia was one smart cookie, because we are not locating the safe anywhere.

"What in the world are you doing, Gavin?" Cici shrieks when she comes into the kitchen. It's the last room on the first floor that hasn't been searched, and we have it torn apart at the moment.

"I told you that I would look for the safe myself, Cici. We have to find that safe!"

The Beta female studies me before crossing her arms, "When was the last time you slept, Gavin?"

"What?" I glance back at her as I'm pulling out mixing bowls from one of the top cupboards, "What does it matter? The only thing that matters is getting the Alpha back." I pull the last of the bowls out and tap the back of the cupboard wall for any kind of hollowness, but I get nothing. I slam my fists down on the counter, "Where the fuck is it, for Goddess's sake?"

Frustration and helplessness seeps through me as I stand here, hands on the counter, and my head bowed. I close my eyes as I try

to focus on where I think a Luna would put a secret safe, when I feel a hand start to rub my back.

"We will get her back, Gavin. I have faith in both you and Alpha Declan. Neither one of you will stop until you do, but you need to rest. You are not any good to us if you don't and you end up going on a crazy bender just like you're doing now." Cici's voice is soft but firm as she lectures me.

"I can't lose her, Cici. I love her..."

"You're not going to. You will bring her home; I can feel it in my bones." The she-wolf sounds so sure of herself and I begin to feel a small ray of hope start to rise.

I stand up to my full height, "I believe you, Cici, but I'm still going to search for that safe."

She sighs and then throws up her arms, "Fine, I will help, but please stop tearing up our pack house!"

I glance around the room and notice the disarray that it's in. I didn't even realize that I was making a mess to this extent, "Sorry, my bad..."

We are back on the Alpha floor because Cici insists that if a Luna were to hide something, that's the floor she would hide it on. I'm not so sure, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything.

"What did the letter that Quinn's mom leave her, say?" Cici asks while pulling stuff out from the closet in the Alpha suite.

"I didn't open it. I couldn't bring myself to do it because that seems a little too personal." I shrug.

She stops what she's doing and stares back at me, "You are rummaging through Dark Moon's pack house, trying to find a private safe, but yet, you refuse to open the letter?"

I chuckle, "Yeah, it's kind of messed up, huh?"

"I'd say, but whatever..." She shakes her head and continues her search.

"If you have this room, I'll go search the nursery," I state, "There is no reason for two of us to search one room." If I'm being totally honest, I can't stay in this room with Quinn being gone. Too many memories, and until we bring her home, I won't feel right being inside her space.

I start by going through the empty drawers of the dresser, knowing I won't find anything, but not wanting to leave anything
