The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 23

DECLAN

It took everything I had to keep Duke from taking over when Gavin came and took Quinn away, leaving me with the she-**after Quinn brought her over. I couldn’t care less if Lila met the other Alphas because none of them wanted to meet her, and their Lunas won’t give her the time of day because of how she got the title. She’s shunned by all, over what she has done, but she doesn’t seem to care.

The only time I give Lila attention is when I think Quinn is looking. I want to make her jealous like she does to me every time she is near my cousin. I know it’s childish, but I don’t know how else to get her attention. Spending all this time with my forced Luna on my arm is riling up my wolf. He’s wanting to burst free and take to the woods, just to be able to get away for a while. If only the guests would leave, so I can lock myself away in my office.

“Declan, could you get me a glass of punch, I’m a little parched?” Lila smiles up at me.

I lean down to her ear and growl. “Call me by my name one more time and you will regret it. Luna or not, I’m still your Alpha!” i lift my brow, waiting for her to argue but all she does is swallow whatever she was going to say, down,”I’m not your ***, go get your own punch.”

She glances around to see if anyone notices our little exchange, but if they do, they are doing a good job pretending that they’re not. Lila never leaves my side though, or let’s go of my arm, and so I have to continue standing here with the leech attached because I don’t want to make too big of a scene trying to get her to let go.

I’m slowly making my way towards the back of the house, hoping that soon, I can make my escape. I’ve been keeping an eye on Quinn, making sure my cousin isn’t doing anything inappropriate. Aside from him bringing her over to my uncle, I can’t find any reason to go and ***her away. I was two seconds away from going to get her when I noticed how uncomfortable she was while in my Uncle Daniel’s presence, but then Gavin swept her away once more. He seemed to be perturbed with his father as well.

They were avoiding coming near me, and I don’t know if it was her doing or Gavin’s, but it was really starting to irritate both me and Duke. I watch when she separates from my cousin and heads toward the front of the house. I try to disengage myself from Lila, but it’s as if she knows that I’m trying to go to Quinn and strengthens her hold on me. Maybe she saw me watching the beautiful she-wolf; I wouldn’t put it past her.

NAANNNNNYA

As the crowd dwindles down, I’ve yet to see Quinn anymore. She must have decided to leave and not say goodbye. That’s out of character for her, but it’s not like any of what is going on makes any kind of sense. I cuss myself out because I assume that I chased her away by pretending to show Lila attention.

Finally, the only guest left is Gavin, which only makes me more irritated. He’s looking a bit grumpy himself, and I don’t understand why he’s just waiting around. When I approach him, he rolls his eyes at me.

“What are you going to tell me to ***off and leave?” He asks sarcastically.
