The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 115

Declan

The electricity of that simple kiss has my c*ck springing to life and wanting to dominate its mate. I had to leave right away. Now that I’ m on my way home, and away from the intoxicating scent of her, I can think rationally again. I don’t understand this whole mate thing when it’s only one sided. I can only assume that it’s a Dire wolf thing, because I’ve never heard of it with regular shifters. You can’t tell they are your mate until they turn of age.

I feel the need to talk to Deke about this. I don’t want to tell Quinn’ s secret, especially when she doesn’t even know about it, but with the last attack, I don’t know if I will be able to protect her by

myself. Maybe we should do as Quinn suggests and go after Gray Skies before they try again.

‘We must protect her at all costs, Declan,’ Duke butts into my private thoughts, ‘It’s not just about keeping your promise to Gavin and Mace, but because she is important to the whole wolf shifter community. She’s meant to be Queen and so she must stay alive.’

‘You and I both know how stubborn our beautiful mate is. How are we supposed to keep her from running into danger without her knowing why she can’t be included?’

‘Our mate is a force for sure, but she isn’t anywhere near what her wolf will be when she comes of age. If anyone catches wind of what she can do so far, they will be coming from far and wide to take her out.’ My wolf sighs, ‘All we can do is our best.’

I scoff, ‘Maybe we can chain her up when we go after Gray skies.’

‘That sounds really hot for a totally different reason, but our mate will be pi*sed if we do that. Honestly, we haven’t seen the extent of what she can do so far, so how do we know that restraints will even hold her?’ Duke gives a little growl, ‘And don’t even suggest using silver on our ‘mates!’

I’m shocked that my wolf would even think that I would do something like that! ‘Really, Duke? Do you really think me that much of an as*hole?’

‘Hey, just putting it out there. A wolf can never know in these times.’

I roll my eyes, ‘Go take a nap and leave me to my own thoughts, will you?’

‘Fine! See if I try helping to ease your worry ever again!’ He states as he heads back to his little corner.

‘Really, Duke. If you’ve done anything, it’s insulted me and stressed me out more by reminding me how important Quinn’s life is!’

‘Oh, me? Did you say something to me?’

days, we have learned that the Gray Skies pack have been camping out in the deep forest of the Natural Reserve owned by the humans. There hasn’t been much movement and according to my scouts, it almost looks as though they are waiting for something

that she will ride over with Spencer and Cam, which gives me a chance to talk with my cousin before everyone shows up. I hate that I’m going to do it, but even I can admit that I can’t handle this alone, not with it still being well over a month before Quinn is
