The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 92

CHAPTER 92

We are almost back to the pack house when I feel Tala stir. She's about to shift, I can feel it, so I jump off Rani just in the nick of time. Tala bursts free and starts running in another direction. Trying to take control back is impossible so I yell at my wolf, continuously, trying to get her to stop or tell me what's going on. I' ve never seen her like this before; she's never ignored an order from me, let alone ignore me completely.

I'm in the middle of telling Tala to turn back to the Pack house when I sense him; our heartbeats syncing with one another. Declan. Just as I think his name, his wolf, Duke appears and stops right in front of us. I look behind up when I hear other paws pounding the earth, and see Rani come to a stop. She drops to the ground and shifts back into Cici.

"What the hell Tala?" My friend lectures my wolf, but then I watch. as Cici's eyes widen as she looks between Duke and Luna, "Oh, my Goddess, you two are beautiful together! You look so...regal!"

Tala and Duke rub their heads together before finally giving me and Declan control again, "Quinn, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over Duke; I had no control over him."

I chuckle, "Funny you should say that because it was the same with Tala. She's been acting strange lately and then today; she just completely disregarded every order that I gave her."

Cici throws Declan a pair of shorts and me a shirt, "That was the strangest thing that I've ever seen, that's for sure, but you should really see the two of you together when in wolf form. It's like you belong together; you match each other perfectly."

A nervous chuckle bubbles up, "Oh, Goddess Cici, you need to lay off the romance novels." I begin my trek back to the pack house, "You might as well join us for dinner since you're here." I glance back at Declan.

"Are you sure you don't mind? I really am sorry about the intrusion." The Alpha apologizes again.

"Oh, zip it Declan. You know that you're always welcome here. Besides, I want to talk to you about a couple of things."

"Alright then, lead the way, ladies." He grins and waits for both me and Cici to lead the way back.

"So, you're thinking Lila bugged your office way back then?" I ask as I think back to when I still lived with the Storm River pack, and I nod my head, "It makes total sense, I think you may be right."

"But why did she feel the need to bug the place back then?" Gavin poses this question as he rocks Ash in one arm and takes a bite of his dinner with the other.

The five of us are sitting at the dining table up in the Alpha suite. I figured we would have more privacy here, so we can talk about. certain things, even if it doesn't have to do with this pack specifically. We do have Cici and Spencer with us, because as my Beta couple, they should know everything going on as well.

"I think she may have done it after I broke things off with her," Declan explains, "She didn't take it too well, and even accused me of having someone else already, which wasn't true at all. She came to me a few days later and we were talking in my office, but then I got called away for a few minutes, that must have been she planted it," He rubs his hand down his face and sighs, "When I came back, she had tears in her eves, and I felt really bad. I tried comforting her and then things got heated and well, that was the

last time I had been with her intimately and must have been when I knocked her up even though we used a condom. One that she had brought." He growls realizing what that means.

"It sounds to me that she had a plan set in motion when she went to you that day, and you played into it, just like she knew you. would." Gavin scowls.

"Well, no shit..." Declan starts but I cut him off.

"It's done and there isn't anything we can do about it now. All we can do is figure out how we can get the Elders to see for themselves that they are hurting one of the strongest packs by allowing Lila to continue as the Luna. What about Langly?" I bring up the other part in all this mess, "I don't think he had any part in me getting pregnant. Did you see his face when you brought him to me when I was in labor? You used your Alpha command on him, and he still denied it. He isn't strong enough to fight your command, Declan."

The Alpha sighs again, "I know, I was thinking the same thing, but I know that I smelled him on Lila. Once I thought about the scent, I knew it was him."

"Okay, so she slept with him, but that doesn't mean he's part of it, or at least he knows that he is part of it. Lila is a manipulator; more than likely she is using him to get close enough to have access to things."

"So, what you're saying is that I probably shouldn't boot Langly out." He stares right at me, and I nod.
