The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 35

Delcan

Sometimes being an Alpha is a bunch of **. You get no time for yourself when you have a whole pack to run. I hated leaving Quinn in bed alone this morning, but *won’t get done around here otherwise. Knowing that I’ll spend time with her tonight will either help get me through the day or make my day long as *either way, me leaving her naked form can’t be helped. I want to take her again before I leave, but we’ve used the last condom, and I’ve already kept her up most of the night. Kissing her forehead, I leave quietly, hoping that nobody catches me doing the walk of shame from Quinn’s room.

Reports of rogues have kept me away from the pack house most of the day, leaving Carter in charge. Normally. I would send my Beta, but I needed to get out or else I was going to just say ‘*it’ and go find a certain *Alpha she-wolf.

Before leaving, I head down to the cells to check on my *Luna. There were no glares or hostility toward me, which was very surprising. She smiles sweetly when I enter her cell, putting me on alert right away, but did nothing. The she-wolf is docile the whole time.” m there, not once raising her voice, and she even apologies to me. I’m sure she’s just trying to get out of here, and me being the Alpha male that I am, I release her when she promises to be good from now on. Do I believe her? Hell no, but at least now she knows that I won’t hesitate to throw her *in here. In fact, I keep everything as is, because I’m sure she will be back in the near future.

I leave her at the entrance while I mind link my Beta to let him know of her release, and then I let Duke take over as we join the other warriors at the border of our territory.

When I get there, my men have three rogues in restraints soaked in Wolfsbane, so they can’t break free. All three are in their human form but refuse to talk. When I mention the Desert Sand pack, they all begin to look nervous, but still, they say nothing. I don’t know whether to take their response to the pack name as them being afraid of said pack or because I’m close to the answer. Either way, the three will now be held in our cells for further questioning.

I should have been able to head back at this point, but then I’m informed that a couple of our security cameras that we keep on the borders were down. This is what has kept me away; having to find every camera that has been destroyed and then selecting a few warriors to patrol

the section until we could replace the cameras.

inside, I feel the loss. Her scent is very faint, and I take the stairs two at a time to get to her room. I knock a few times and when I get no response, I open the door, only to find it completely empty. I can barely scent her anymore, it’s fading

to figure out what is going on. When my eyes sweep the room, I notice the envelope with my name on it on the bed. *it up, I tear open the envelope and let my eyes read her words carefully.

Dear Declan,

be helped. Had I waited to

the best night of my life, and I don’t regret any of it. If anything. I wish we could have more nights like that, but we both know that it isn’t possible. I will always cherish

together, just knowing that I was your choice will have to be enough. What I need you to know is that somehow along the way. I fell for you, so I’m hoping that you, knowing that you

grateful that you are the one that saved me from the very beginning. I’d like to

Declan, and try to be happy. You have an heir now and need to think about them. We will see each other

With Love,

Quinn

to find it right where I left it, in my office on the charger. I’m losing it already. Dialing Quinn’s number, all it does is ring, so I hit redial, just to get the same response. I’m not sure how many times I try calling her, but I also send her texts in between, hoping that she will at least answer one or the other. I’ve also left her a bunch of voicemails as well, but

girl who is depressed because a boy that she has a crush on won’t call her back. I even have a tub of ice cream as I sit in my bedroom, moping over Quinn. The logical part of my brain understands what she’s doing, but my heart and my wolf does not. I’m messed up over a she wolf that was never my mate to

out that Quinn was gone. I had literally torn through the house, knocking *over and turning over furniture, just so I could find my phone, and not once did I give any of them a reason for my behavior. I can’t face them until I can face this situation, which means accepting that I no
