The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 36

Life after leaving the Storm River pack and it’s Alpha, was harder than I thought, but I pushed through everything. Having my best friend by my side and an amazing Beta, I was able to keep my head in the game and continue to strengthen our pack. Taking in the rogues that

Summer had brought in had added to our numbers, but over the last few months, more and more wolves, both male and female stumbled across us and joined our pack. We are now a little over three hundred strong, and still growing.

I’m sitting here on the front porch, getting in a little time to myself with a good romance book in my hand, but all I can think about is the last few months. I thought we were going to be a poor pack until we were able to get our feet back under us, but after a lot of badgering, my Beta got me to pay the bank a visit. Turns out that all the pack’s money from before the attack is still all there. I was so happy to hear this, because this meant that I could start paying the Storm River pack back. It’s been bothering me for some time now. Of course, I don’t dare talk to the Alpha, so instead, I take bank notes to their bank and deposit them with a note. Declan tried calling me after the first deposit, but I still wasn’t ready to talk to him, so I ignored the call, and he hasn’t tried again.

Believe it or not, my best friend and Beta found out they were mates on Cici’s birthday. I’m happy for them both, but having them around, acting all lovey dove, all the time, takes a toll on me. I honestly thought I would have found my mate by now. I’m beginning to think that I was one of the forgotten ones.

*Alpha,” Cam, my head warrior stops and gets my attention, “I was wondering if you knew when it would be a good time to go meet with Keenan about blending a few training sessions together. I pretty much know the moves, because you are a good instructor, but I feel like should probably make sure that we have it together.”

“Oh, yes. I haven’t forgotten, just trying to figure out when a good time would be.”

He places his hands on both hips and lifts a brow, questioning the book in my hand. I smile sheepishly at him, “You know what? I’m free right now if you are.”

He chuckles, “If you are able to pull yourself away from Fabio for a few hours, that would be great.”

Throwing my book aside, I jump up defensively, “I will have you know that I have never read a book with that name in it! I don’t think it’s even used anymore.”

“Well, I’m sure that whatever his name is, will wait for you to come back.”

“Okay, okay, let me go see if Cici wants to go over too. I’m sure she’s wanting to visit her parents.” I start to go inside.

Cam clears his throat, “Uh, Alpha. You may want to try the gazebo in the back. I saw both her and Beta Carter sneaking in there on my way to talk to you.” He snickers.

I throw my hands up in frustration, “Oh great, well since you’re going back that way then you can tell her that we leave in ten minutes.”
