The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 15

“Harder, Alpha!” Cam, my head warrior calls out to me as I pummel another warrior during training. Apparently, I’m not hitting hard enough for his liking though.

Jumping back, I catch my breath and think about my next move. Tala senses someone behind me, and I automatically do a roundhouse kick, tripping up my Beta in the process. Laughter erupts from the few others that are training as Spencer jumps up with a scowl on his face.

“Nice move, Alpha!” Cam calls out to me, giving me a thumbs up.

I’ve been Alpha for a few weeks now and we all have been training really hard to make up for the lack of numbers we have in pack members. Declan kept his word and sent over a hundred warriors, so we would be protected a little more. Little by little, though, other wolves trickle in looking for a new pack to join. These are wolves that had lost their own packs due to attacks like the one on ours.

So far, I’ve welcomed in thirty-five new members, thirteen of them being under the age of eighteen. Everyone belonging to the Dark Moon pack trains six out of seven days a week unless they are under the age of fifteen. Those that are between fifteen and seventeen have special training, since they won’t be engaging in the fight itself. They train more for protecting themselves and in different scenarios, like having to go to a saferoom like I did, or how to call for help.

“I see you are much better sensing when someone is near.” Spencer chuckles.

“I had a little talk with Tala about watching our back when in battle if I’m in human form.” I grin, “The poor girl was out of shape, and a little lax in her trainings.”

“You do realize that I can hear you right?’ My wolf asks snidely.

“Always, Tala, always.’I chuckle at her and she stomps back to her place in the back of my head.

“Did you happen to sense that you had a visitor?” My Beta scoffs and then nods towards the edge of the training field.

“What’s he doing here?” I ask.

“What do you think, Quinn? i’m assuming he’s trying to ‘Woo’ you.” He snickers.

“You don’t like Gavin very much, do you?” I ask my Beta.

He shrugs. “I don’t really know him, but I can tell you that he wouldn’t be my first choice for you.”

As soon as I get up to my suite of rooms, though, I cover my mouth and break down in tears. They’re not just for me, though. They are for the Alpha who made a mistake and now has to suffer with a she-wolf and never be able to find his
