The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 104

It’s been a month since I’ve talked to Declan, but I know he’s been around my pack

grounds, I can feel him every time he stops by. He never tries to see me, giving me the

space that I need but still being able to keep his promise to Gavin about watching over

me and Ash. It’s one of the reasons why I didn’t put a stop to him. coming until I was

ready. I couldn’t do that to Gavin.

Since that night that Declan and I got into it, I’ve talked to Demi about staying on at my

pack house as Ash’s nanny and she was quick to accept. She’s been a bit hesitant to

talk about Ayden being Ash’s Beta when they are older, but I think I may have her talked

a sadness over the whole situation.

It’s my mantra every time my mind begins. to wander in that direction, which is often,

unfortunately. I try so hard to keep my mind on other things, but it always wanders back

to my other family. Yes, I’ve considered the Storm River pack my

family since I was fifteen years old, and they will always be my family. Declan and I are

just having a little sibling’s quarrel.

‘Don’t ever think of Declan and Duke as our siblings. That’s just wrong!’ Tala gives a little

shiver.

‘What’s wrong with thinking of them as that?’

‘They both are much more than that!’ My wolf scoffs.

‘Why do you say that, Tala?’
