The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 148

All I can do is stare, completely dumbstruck as to what it is I am actually looking at. I suppose I’m just in shock because this is so unexpected, not only because shifters don’t usually get married like the humans do, but because Declan has never mentioned that he wanted to. As mates, we automatically take the male’s last name anyway, and the union ceremony is like a wedding in the shifter community. I don’t know too many wolves that are actually married, but I do know that my parents were.

Once I come back to the present, I take the box from his hand and open it. My hand goes straight to cover my mouth as a gasp bursts free. Part of the engagement ring is my mother’s wedding band; he’s incorporated it into a beautiful diamond ring for me.

Instead of answering him, I grab his cheeks and kiss him. passionately, not caring that we have an audience. I straddle hist knee and sit down on it as I continue to deepen the kiss. I can faintly hear giggles and chuckles, and then a throat clearing very loudly. Declan pulls away first, grinning at me.

“Quinn Night, I have loved you for a long time, and I thought that I missed my chance to have you as my own. I had decided to have you as my chosen before everything happened, and even though it’ s taken a few years, and a couple of kids later, I’m still madly and deeply in love with you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my everything, and marry me?”

My tears, started streaming two seconds into his little speech and all I can do is nod my head, “Words little mate, I need to hear the words.”

Clearing my throat, I swipe at my wet face, “Y-Yes,” I stutter

through my emotions, “I will marry you, my Alpha.”

This time, it’s his turn to crash his lips against mine, as the others cheer us on, but it doesn’t last long because Asher decides right then that he’s hungry and starts fussing. I pull away first this time and gaze deeply into his chocolate brown eyes. All those years ago, when a handsome Alpha came and saved me, I never would have guessed that I would be sitting here now, in his arms and saying yes to marrying him.

He brushes away a few strands of hair that have blown across my face, and then pecks my nose, “Your son isn’t going to be patient too much longer,” he leans in closer, “You better go feed him now, because I’m going to be hogging those beautiful breasts for the next few hours.”

My core tightens with the promise of his undivided attention, and I move away before I attack him right here, the others be d*mned. Placing the ring on my ring finger of my left hand, I rise from his knee, “I’ll be back, my King, so save that thought.”

I walk over and take Ash from Amelia who stole him as soon as we came out here, “Thank you for holding him for me, Amelia.”

She scoffs at me, “Enough with my name, I think it’s about time. that you start calling me mom, don’t you? I will never replace your own, but I would like to be there for you like she would if she were still here with us.”

I give her a warm smile, and a hug to match, “I’d be honored, Mom.” After thanking her and everyone else for celebrating with me, I head inside to feed a very demanding young Alpha.
