CHAPTER 82
Declan
Today is the day that Dr. Sands is visiting. It' been three weeks since we discussed the situation over the phone but after we took care of Jasper and his rogues, the Black Forest pack has been trying to get their pack life back to normal. Especially now that Alpha Tate has officially mated with his Luna. The doctor is happy to help us out with our little problem and can't wait to come and be of assistance.
I've set up a special dinner in honor of Quinn and Gavin's
upcoming union ceremony. As much as it saddens me to know that I can't have her as mine, I've come to see that Gavin will treat her good and she will still be a part of mine and Holden's life.
There is another reason for the dinner, though, both Quinn and Gavin will play their parts as well, in convincing Lila that I'm willing to set aside our differences and try to be a real couple. Goddess, just thinking about it is putting a sour taste in my mouth, but I really don't think she would trust me to just hand her a glass of wine after the way I've been with her.
My mother has cut her trip short and will be joining us as well, and as much as she dislikes the she-wolf, she would never agree to us drugging her, let alone injecting a tracker in her unknowingly. Quinn wasn't on board with it at first either until she was looking through Dark Moon's security footage the day that Lila visited and found the conniving she-wolf going into the Alpha suite. Of course, there are no cameras in Quinn's room, but when her and Gavin checked their stash of condoms, there were multiple foil packs with pin holes in them.

To say that Quinn is livid about it, will be putting it mildly. She had come driving in like a bat out of hell, wanting to confront Lila. I had to remind her that she is pregnant and that the best thing for us to do is to proceed with the plan that Carter and I had come up with. We need as much evidence as we can get on the she-bitch, and Quinn going off on Lila will not help us.
When I had finally gotten her calmed down that day, she had agreed to help me, and so here I am, waiting for the good doctor to arrive, so we can put the finishing touches on my plan. I've also got a list of promising doctors that I would like him to go over with me. I would like his input on which physicians are better than whom, or if he even knows any of them. Dr. Langley is working on borrowed time at the moment.
"Still waiting on the doc?" Carter asks as he comes into my office.
"Yeah, he should be arriving at any time." I state as I glance at the time.
"Well, just a heads up, Lila is downstairs in the living room, reading a magazine. Any idea how you are going to introduce the two?" My friend asks as he takes a seat in front of my desk, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees.
Sighing, I lean back in my chair and scrub both hands over my face, "I haven't thought about it, no," I then smirk at my Beta, "Any suggestions?"
He scoffs, but then grins back at me, "What would you do without me, Alpha?"
"As Alpha? I'd replace you with someone who shows me a little more respect!" I laugh, "But as my best friend? I wouldn't trade you for the world, and I would lose my shit if I didn't have you at my side."
The smartass pretends to wipe a tear from his eye, "Oh stop! You' re making me cry!"
I pick up one of Holden's stuffed toys that is laying on my desk and throw it at my friend, "Fuck off! I was only being honest."
He catches it and chuckles, "I know, and I feel the same way about you. Getting back to the topic, though," his mouth goes into a tight line as he thinks for a moment, "I think you should introduce him as a friend of you mother's."
I frown, "Huh?"
"Think about it," he gets a bit excited, "your mom has been traveling, so she could have met him during her travels and invited him to visit her pack."
"Hm, that could work if mother will agree to it..."
"If I will agree to what?" My mother cuts me off as she waltzes into my office.
"Please close the door, Mother," I sigh, knowing that I'm going to have to lie to her just a little bit, "I have a visitor coming from another pack, another doctor, to be exact. He's going to help me go through the list of available doctors that I can replace Langley with when this is all finally over.”
