The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 123

The last few weeks have flown by so fast, between taking care of my own pack and helping Declan get back on his feet those first few days after leaving the hospital, it was a bit hectic. Since he’s healed, though, I try to make it over there every other day, or he comes here. We use the kids as playdates, but I know the real reason, we both want to be near one another. I can’t explain it, and I don’t want to think too much into it because I don’t want to be wrong.

Declan had invited me to the dinner with Dr. Sands, and it was a very pleasant evening. Watching Amelia and Jonah flirt together made me miss that part of having a relationship, I am happy for them both. They deserve the happiness and I think they will get along very well together.

We are sitting on his back deck with both boys when his phone rings and he makes a face before clenching his jaw. Holding up his finger to me, he answers with a tightness to his voice, “This is Alpha Declan, what can I do for you?”

I hear another woman’s voice on the phone and I know exactly who it is. The nerve of her calling here after everything that has happened, and why does she even have phone privileges, anyway?

“Why are you calling me, Lila?” Declan scowls as he talks, “No, I will not discharge you from the Center, it’s too soon. You shouldn’t even have phone privileges yet; I’m going to have to talk to them about this. You are not to call me again Lila, do you understand?” He hangs up and drops the phone onto the table.

“Is she seriously wanting to be let out already?” I ask as I place a sleeping Ash in the porta crib that was set up for him. Holden is

already napping in his, he’s been out for the last thirty minutes.

Declan sighs and rubs his temples, “Apparently! I don’t know who brought that woman up but d*mn is she a thorn in my side!”

I move to stand behind him and replace his fingers with my own on his temples, “You need to stop letting her get to you. She knows it presses your buttons and that’s why she does it.”

“Hm…” is all he has as I massage his temples. When I move my hands down to his shoulders, I can feel the knots throughout his shoulder muscles.

“D*mn, when was the last time you went and had a massage? You’ re so tight!”

“I’m not sure, two years maybe?”

“Declan, you need to take better care of yourself, especially being an Alpha. You have too much stress in your life to not take care of your personal needs on a regular basis.”

He slides his hand over mine and leans back against my chest, “You know what I need?” He kisses my hand, “You, Quinn. Will you stay with me tonight?”

“Declan…”

He pulls me around and into his lap, “What’s stopping you from being with me, Quinn?”
