The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 63

Declan

It’s been a long few weeks. Lila has been locked in the cells while I try and figure out what I can do with her. She isn’t fit to be a Luna; I knew this from the beginning, but the Elders think they know everything. I’ve been back and forth with them since I put my crazy Luna in the cells, trying to explain to them why it would be in the pack’s best interest to denounce her title, but they ignore all evidence. All they pretty much say is that I should have kept it in my pants, but not in so many words.

I sigh and rub my temples as I sit at my desk. I just got off the phone with them again, arguing on my son’s behalf this time, but they still won’t budge. The only way that Lila can lose the title of Luna is if my fated mate happens to finally come into my life and challenges her for it. That pretty much tells me that I’m stuck with the scheming bitch.

“Hey, Declan,” my Beta pops in, “I know we are supposed to be heading to Quinn’s party, but patrol found another dead body…”

“Damn it!” 1 slam my fist down onto the desk.

“Woah, calm down and let me finish,” Carter chuckles, “It looks to be a rogue they said, so I don’t think this has anything to do with the others.”

“Are you sure?” I ask. I know it’s been a while since the killer has struck, so it’s only a matter of time.

“No, but I’m going to head over and check it out. Keenan has already left for the party, so I told him that I would take care of it. Go on ahead, Declan, and I will catch up.”

I nod, “I appreciate it, but I will wait until you get to the site and inform me what you think happened. I’ll hop into the shower now.”

“Okay, sorry to spring this on you on today of all days. Whatever it is, I will take care of it; you just go see our girl and give her my love if I can’t make it.”

I nod once more in response. Carter is the one that took the call when Quinn called in for help the day her pack was attacked. He’s also the one that brought her back here and got her settled. My Beta is the reason that Quinn and Cici are best friends, as well. His little sister is the only one that could draw Quinn out of her depression; she is a force to be reckoned with once she is on a mission, and Cici’s mission was to get Quinn back to being herself and living life. Quinn is like another sister to Carter, and will protect her at all costs, no matter what.
