The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 137

After dinner, Declan and I decide to spend it with the boys. I know Asher doesn’t know what’s going on yet, but just having Holden being around him will help strengthen the bond that we hope they will have as they grow up. Holden is a smart little cookie and he’s always wanting to be around me when I have Ash in my arms. As soon as tomorrow comes around, we will start referring to Asher as his brother when we talk to him. Not having his mom around in the first year and a half of his life has been hard on the little one, and I can’t thank the Goddess enough for bringing him into my life because even though he isn’t biologically mine, I will always consider him as my own.

I’m in too much shock to look over to where he’s pointing, but I finally shake it off and follow his finger as I smile.

“Yes, bunnies!” I laugh and then look over at Declan who is smiling also.

He leans in and kisses my temple, “And what a great mama you are…”

“But what if we’re not

“Quinn, I think we can both safely say that we are mates. Our wolves know, and we will know for sure by tomorrow, but our instincts are telling us who we are to each other, at least mine are.”

I smile and then reach my lips up for him to take, and there is no hesitation on his part. He takes them softly, lifting a hand to cup my cheek as he does. Giggling breaks us apart all too soon, and we see Holden just standing there watching us.

“I think we may have a peeping tom on our hands.” Declan chuckles.

to come with his little hand, so I pass Ash over to Declan and go to Holden. He holds his hand out for me to take and then leads me over to the slide on the playset, “Up, mama!” I lift him up, but he calls out for me once again, wanting me to go up with him. Giggling, I climb the stairs and then sit at the top of the slide and set Holden on my lap. He giggles all the way down the slide, which isn’t
