The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 8

DECLAN

I stare at the stick, stunned. How did this happen? I’ve always been careful and used protection, and she’s supposed to be on birth control. Those were the rules; the rules in every pack whose Alpha decides to take a mistress before finding his mate, so this exact thing doesn’t happen.

“Declan…”

“Get out.” I tell the she-wolf.

“We need to talk…”

“I SAID TO GET THE *OUT!!” I push my aura out almost all the way, slamming her against the door, before realizing that I have to be careful with her now that she’s carrying my pup.

Grabbing hold of the handle, she lifts herself up and rushes through the door. I turn and run through the house, bursting through the front door, transforming as I go, and landing as Duke, my huge black wolf. Without missing a step, I rush to the tree line, and disappear within the darkness that they offer. I run hard and fast, anger boiling through my veins, as I think of how Lila tricked me. She must have stopped the birth control because that is a special medication for unmated she-wolves. It stops their ovulation completely, so they cannot get impregnated by anybody else. It’s supposed to help with the population of *taking over as Alpha’s.

Along with the medication, it is also stated that those who do impregnate an unmated she-wolf, must take her as their chosen mate, no excuses. In other words, I’m *! I’m going to be stuck with that vile woman until the day that I die, and all because I needed to get my *wet!

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve come to realize that my wolf is no longer talking to me. I’m trying to call out to Duke, but all he does is growi back. I can feel his emotions of anger, sadness, longing, and rage; he wants to kill something or at the very least, hurt something. I decide to go back to the packhouse before he can do any kind of damage or injure an innocent person.

I go straight to my office when I get back. I already broke my promise to Quinn and missed the cake cutting, adding to my angry state. I pick up the chair that Quinn occupied earlier and slammed it back down onto the floor, splintering it into pieces. I then go around, picking up everything breakable, and shattering it against the walls and the floor.

I’m standing in the middle of my office, panting, when the door opens and there she stands, “Declan,” She whispers, her eye as wide as saucers, “What happened?”

Both Duke and stare at the gorgeous woman that should be off limits, but that we both want. Duke’s claws are still out, and I know Quinn can see him in my eyes. I stop thinking all together and in just a few long strides, I pin Quinn to the wall beside the door, gaze down at her and then my mouth descends down on hers, taking what I feel deep down should be mine.

Surprise runs through me as she opens her mouth and meets my demanding tongue. Duke prances around in my head as I continue to ravage her pretty little mouth. I cup her face with both of my hands, tilting it, so I can kiss her better. Duke tells me that her wolf, Tala, is wanting more, but I can’t do it. This is all I can allow for us to take from her; we are no longer available to take her innocence and then claim her for ourselves. Duke whines inside my head as I remind him of our position.

The moment I smell Quinn’s arousal, I fight myself to pull away. On one hand, I want to take more; I want to taste every last drop that she leaks for me, but I know I mustn’t. Reluctantly, I pull away, but only enough, so I can rest my forehead against hers as I catch my breath.

“Declan…”

My name is music to my ears when it comes from her lips, and right now, those lips are bruised and swollen from my own, making the
