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

into it. I know it will be Ayden’s decision when the time. comes, but normally, once they

get their wolves at seventeen, we bond the future Alpha, Beta, and if there is a G*mma,

together, so they have a strong bond by the time the take over the pack. For now, I’ll just

be happy to have uncle and nephew grow up together.

Word came to me through the grapevine that the test results showed that Holden truly is

Declan’s child. Okay, Cici is the grapevine. She told me, when her brother told her, that

he was in the room with Declan when he opened the results. I’m happy for Declan, truly I

am, because I was dreading him finding out that the son that he has loved and nurtured

for over a year isn’t really his. So, I’m happy in that sense, but for some reason, I still feel

a sadness over the whole situation.

I shake myself from thinking on it any longer, after all, not my circus, not my monkeys.

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.
