The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 101

I was refusing to see Declan because I didn’t want any reminders of Gavin in the days

following his death, and the two of them are similar in the face. I thought it would hurt

seeing Declan because I miss Gavin so d*mn much. I’m always expecting him to walk

through the door or wake me up by making love to me or kissing the s*it out of me, but

there is nothing.

It wasn’t until I watched that video that he made for me that I was able to start putting

myself back together again. I don’t want to disappoint him and he’s right, our son needs

me to remind him of his daddy, and I need to show him how to be strong. How can I do

that if I hide away in my room? That’s not being a strong Alpha, and I want to make sure

that Gavin’s son is the best Alpha that he can be.

And so, I showered for the first time in days, and then I got

dressed in clean clothes. I’m wearing one of Gavin’s t-shirts tied at the waist, but it’s

clean and that’s all that matters. I start throwing orders around at border patrol, the

warriors, and the pack house staff, not in a mean way, but orders just the same.

It’s the time that I actually spend with my son that almost breaks me. Thinking about how

he was finally getting used to his daddy, only to have him ripped away from him as his

life is just beginning. I’m so glad that Sara ended Daniel, because I wouldn’t want to take

away someone’s mate like that, and I would have. I will always be indebted to her for

ending her own mate, and she will always have a spot in this family no matter what. It

takes a lot of courage. and strength to be able to kill your own mate, but a mother’s love

doesn’t end when they grow up; it lasts a lifetime.

After spending time with Ash, I lay him down for a nap and then head down to the office

to try and catch up on the finances and anything else that Spencer wasn’t able to get

done in the last few days. I’ve been in my office for about two hours now when I feel our

synced heartbeats just before the knock comes.

Declan brings Holden to try and cheer me up, and I can’t believe how much he’s grown.

Looking at the pup, a weird sense of knowledge about something that I can’t put my

finger on, comes over me, but then I push it aside as he asks about my son.

Linking Cici, I ask that she bring Ash to my office and then next thing I know, Declan is

pulling me into a hug. I freeze, I don’t want sympathy when I’m trying to be strong, but

then it’s like a cloak of some sort drapes itself around me, giving me comfort instead and
