The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 42

Gavin

I couldn’t believe my luck when Quinn accepted my date proposal finally. I don’t know what got her to change her mind about us becoming more than just friends, but I will take it. I’m aware that her mind can change at any moment, and so I’m being as patient as I can with her. As much as I want to take her and claim her as mine, I know she is far from ready for that.

I’m not a good man like my cousin, Declan, but I’m trying to be better, for her. I don’t know what it is about this she-wolf, but she’s different from the rest, and I don’t mean because she’s an Alpha. No, I noticed it the first time I met her. I was drawn to her instantly.

She had been dead set on waiting for her mate at that time. Unfortunately for her, it’s been almost a year and still, she is mate less. I’m so glad that I stuck around and waited her out, because now, I have a chance with the gorgeous Alpha. Our wolves get along too, making it so much easier to be able to claim each other if the time comes.

My father has been *me for months now about closing the deal with the new Alpha, but what he doesn’t realize is that I’m not doing this for him. No, I care for the beautiful she-wolf, and I’m not going to use her just to please my father. If I have to wait until his death before I can claim my rightful title, so be it. I’ve never been one to go against the Alpha of our pack, and because of that, I’ve ostracized myself with certain family members.

Declan, for instance, he hates my guts because of the things I’ve done in the past. I’ve always looked up to my older cousin, and I still do. It hurts every time he ridicules me on anything I do, and so I fight back, not wanting him to know how much his hatred for me hurts. Had I known back then what I do now, I would have fought my father harder, at least I like to think I would.

When the situation between Declan and his now crazy Luna first happened, I said a few things that I didn’t really mean, but I was still trying to keep up the pretense of being an *. Now, I don’t want that pretense, I want to be accepted.

Back when I was still a young pup, just coming into myself, my father thought I should become a man. I wasn’t allowed to wait for my fated mate even if I wanted to, because it’s not what my father wanted. He wanted to see his son turning into a man, so when he brought me to the pack’s she-*, who so happened to be in love with my father, he ordered her to bring her only daughter, into the room. The girl was a year older than me. My father then abused his title and used his Alpha command on the girl, ordering her to spread her legs for me.

Of course, being the tender age that I was, I was both nervous and excited. I couldn’t look the girl in her eyes, though. I didn’t want to see the tears streaming down her face as I stepped up to her spread thighs and placed my *at her entrance.

I remember my father’s exact words at that point, “No sense in drawing it out, son. It’s going to cause her pain when you take her virginity either way, so just ram that little *of yours right into that tight hole and then *her like a real man.” My stomach turns now as I think back to that moment, but the memory continues, “She’s going to follow in her mother’s footsteps anyway, and as the Alpha heir, it’s your right to be the one to take her maidenhead.”

my father at this point,

and she was taken under my father’s wing. She lived in the pack house, and eventually my father made her sleep in my room with me. I had started to have feelings for the she-wolf, and she had feelings for

family, my father brought him in on it as well. My cousin knew of my feelings for the girl because he always teased me about it, but when she came into my father’s office to tell us

do to stop him, I was too young to fight him off. My father then called Declan back into the office and he saw what had happened. My father made it sound as though I was the one that murdered the innocent girl. He also commented on how this was the second time that I had to take

to never speak of it, my cousin left and never came back for another visit. It’s also when he turned his back on me, but it’s partially my fault because I never once corrected the false accusations against me. I think it’s because I was hurt that my own cousin would think that I could do something
