The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 90

Closing the door to my office, shutting out all the noise that comes with living in a pack

house, I sigh and then take my seat behind my father’s, and his father’s desk. I run my

hand over the hard wood and smile at the memory of playing hide-and-seek with my

brother, Dylan. He never could find me, and eventually, he stopped playing with me. It’s

because I would always come in here and hide underneath this desk. Even when my

father was working, I would quietly open his door and close it, and then he would move,

so I could crawl under it, beside his legs. Dylan would crack open the door, take one look

at our father working, and then leave again. It became our thing until Dylan decided not

to play anymore. I never did tell him where my secret hiding spot was.

I crawl under the desk and sit for just a few moments, letting myself soak in the memory

of the one male that had loved me with his whole heart. Now, I have another male who

loves me just as much, and it makes my heart feel full again. Of course, I will always

ache for my parents and brother, but I’m no longer alone. I now have my future mate and

my son who have filled that hole that’s been shallow for the past four and a half years.

Thinking about my parents, I come out from under the desk and go to the safe. The last

letter from my mother sits in there, as well as the key that she gave me and the jewelry

that both guys gave me in which I had forgotten all about. I place Declan’s locket around

my neck and Gavins’s bracelet on my wrist. I decide to keep the key in the safe for now

as I take the envelope over to the desk.

I’m not supposed to open it until the day before my twentieth birthday, which is in about

five months. My fingers itch to tear the seal and read its contents, but then I hear my

mother’s voice,

telling me to have patience. She was always telling me that I was so impatient and that I

would have to learn how to have patience once I became a Luna. Even though Alpha

females could either be mated to an Alpha or a Beta with alpha blood, my mother always

told me that I would be a Luna someday, she was sure of it.

As much as I want to see my mother’s writing to me, I return the letter to the safe and

close the door. Blowing out a heavy sigh, I return to the desk and start going through

pack business, but not even five minutes later I’m leaving my office once again and

linking my best friend as I do.

‘Where are you at right now, Cici?’

‘What’s up, hoochie mama?’
