The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 72

CHAPTER 72

Declan

"I don't have time for your bullshit today, Lila! How many times do I have to tell you to stay out of my fucking sight unless it has to do with Holden?" I growl at the annoying she-wolf. She has the audacity to come into my office and try to seduce me! I am

repulsed by her, and just thinking about using my mating rights with her makes my stomach turn. I honestly don't know what I saw in her to begin with.

"But Alpha, I'm sure you need a release after all this time, and with all the stress that you are under..." She jumps at the sound of my fist coming down on my desk.

"You are a huge part of my stress, Lila! The fact that you keep intruding into my space or bothering me when I'm trying to locate a good friend makes up most of my stress level!"

"Alpha Declan, Quinn has been gone for months. Do you honestly think that she will ever come back? She's probably being used as a slave or something. There's no telling how many males have used her by now..."

Once again, she finds my hand wrapped around her neck. My face is less than two inches from her face, "When will you learn to never talk about Alpha Quinn? Do you have a death wish? I am more than happy to oblige if you do!" I stare deep into her eyes, trying to see if I can find anything within them, "Did you have something to do with her abduction? You better think twice before you try lying to your Alpha!" I sneer.

Her eyes widen, "I swear Alpha, I had nothing to do with her being.

taken. I swear on my life!" She rasps out.

I slam her body into the wall before letting her neck go, "Your life doesn't mean shit to me, Lila.”

After a slight coughing fit, she looks up at me from the floor, "Fine, I swear on Hold..."

I grab her hair, yanking her head back, "If you know what's good for you, you will not finish that sentence!" Letting her hair go, I walk back to my desk, "Get the fuck out of my sight before I decide to send you on vacation to your cell again."

She wastes no time scurrying out of my office just as my Beta comes waltzing in. He turns his head in Lila's direction and chuckles, "What the fuck did she want this time?"

I roll my eyes and then rub my temples, "That woman never gives up. She thinks she can still seduce me into sleeping with her and when I don't give her what she wants, she brings Quinn up."

"What are you going to do about her? Have you decided?" My friend asks as he takes the seat in front of my desk.

"There is nothing I can do except keep locking her in the cell, but even then, I can only keep her in it for so long. The Elders frown upon imprisoning my Luna, apparently. They are saying that I'm only trying to get out of my duties as her Alpha." I scoff, and then wave my hand, "Enough about the she-bitch. How's mated life?" I grin at my best friend. I am so happy that he's finally found his

mate.

A goofy smile appears across Carter's face, "Aspen is amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect mate for myself."

"No pups on the way yet?" I smirk.

"Nah, we decided that we want to wait. We want to spend some time with just the two of us for a while, but we definitely love practicing."

I throw my head back and give a full belly laugh, "Oh, I'm sure you do, my friend!"

Once the room grows quiet again, Carter asks solemnly, "Any new leads?"

I sober up, running my hand over my face, "Not a damn one. How can anyone fall off the face of the earth? If it wasn't for the pack bond, I'd swear she was dead. That bond is the only thing keeping me going."

"The fucker can't hide forever, Declan. We will get him, and we will end him." My Beta growls at the thought of taking out whoever it is that took Quinn. He's going to have to get in line, though.

Carter and I are in the middle of discussing the expansion that is supposed to take place here in a few weeks when my phone rings. Rolling my eyes when I see the caller ID, I answer and put it on speaker phone.

"What is it now, Gavin?"

"Round up our allies, we've found her. I'm on my way to your territory now."

"Wait! You found Quinn? How the fuck did you manage that?" I ask excitedly but still with a little bite to it.
