The Alpha Who Saved Me

The Alpha Who Saved Me By Stacy Rush Chapter 16

CHAPTER 16

DECLAN

I knew where I needed to go the moment I heard the doctor read the results of the paternity test. I wasn’t even able to hold myself together long enough to get Lila back to the pack house. Instead, a growl ripped through me as Duke raged inside, and then I let him take over. My huge black wolf tore through the halls of the pack hospital and burst through the doors, heading straight for the tree line. I had heard Lila call after me, but I didn’t want to hear anything that she had to say to me. This is on her! Yeah, I stuck my **in her, but I always wore a condom even though, technically, we didn’t have to since she was supposed to be on the medication.

I ran for hours at first, not sure what I was going to say when I got to my destination, but now that I’m here, and I see her walk out of her bathroom, it’s like everything comes into place and our heart beats thump as one, just like at her ceremony. She stops suddenly and just stands there a moment before she turns around. I have so many things going through my head right now that I’m not sure how to even act.

Declan— She breathes out.

“Quinn-..

And then she lifts her arms and I break. I’m there holding her in two strides, burying my face into her neck and taking in her scent, which smells like her fruity body wash that she’s always used. I’ve tried staying away from her for the last few weeks, I tried doing what her Beta suggested, and both my wolf and I have been miserable. I need Quinn in my life, even if it’s just as friends. I don’t have the strength to stay away from her, I don’t know how this happened, but it doesn’t matter, because it has, and I’ll be **if I give her up all together.

Duke and I need you and Tala tonight, Quinn. Let us stay, I can’t go back yet.” Yep, I’m running away from my problems, but just for tonight.

“Of course, you can stay Declan. You are always welcome,” she pulls away slightly so she can look up at me, but you will need to face this shit storm, and the sooner the better.”

“I know,” 1 drop my forehead to hers, “I wish I could rewind the past year or so and make a better choice.” Straightening myself, I step away and run my hand through my hair, “Other Alpha’s take someone all the time and don’t end up in this situation, so why me?”

“Well, if I’m being honest, those other Alphas probably don’t have vindictive she-wolves coming to their beds.” She places her hand on my arm, “Lila had a plan from the beginning. Whatever it was, must have worked. Remember on my birthday, when I came to your office and told you about my run in with her? She was holding a handful of condoms.”

I furrow my brow, “Yeah, I remember wondering why she would have been there because I hadn’t had her in my bed for about a month.” tell her.

“I think she was retrieving evidence, Declan. I’ve thought this over a few times, and that’s all I could come up with.” “Evidence? What are you talking about?” I ask a bit more interested.
