The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 86

Declan

As soon as the dishes start clearing, I excuse myself for a moment and slip into the

kitchen. My staff are all loyal to me and so when I bring my head cook to the side, and

explain to her what is going on, and that I need her help, all she can say is, “Thank Fuck,

it’s about time something gets done about her!” All I can do is chuckle and apologize for

them having to put up with her all this time.

The she-wolf helps me to sprinkle the slow-acting drug into the dessert as to not mess

up the look completely and make Lila suspicious. I chose the slow-acting drug because I

can’t very well have Lila passing out at the table while my mother and all the other

guests are still around. She will begin to feel sleepy and most likely excuse herself; she

will be knocked out cold once her head hits her pillow, or so I’m told.

Walking around to the other doorway, I arrive back at the dining room as they are

halfway done with passing out the dessert. The head cook personally brings out both

mine and Lila’s as to make it look as though we are both important enough for the head

cook to bring out our dessert. She never brings food to the table since she does most of

the cooking.

Lila digs right into hers, not even waiting for her Alpha to sit down. Normally I would

lecture her, but I let it go for tonight. “Sorry about that,” I address everyone as I take my

seat, “I had forgotten to send out an important business email earlier, and they needed

to have it by the end of the day.”

“No problem, Declan,” Quinn pipes in, “We were just having a lovely conversation with

your Luna.” I can see the amusement dancing in

her eyes as she calls Lila my Luna, “I was just telling her how she’s done a fabulous job

tonight. I hope you will continue to give more Luna responsibilities to her in the future.”

“We discussed that earlier, and tonight was a test run. If all of you approve of her

abilities, and attitude, then I will give her more.” I respond.

“Does this dessert have a different taste or is it just me?” Lila asks as she sniffs her

dessert.
