The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 41

Declan

I had just laid my son in the small makeshift bed that I have in my office, so I could tackle a few of the more important things while he sleeps. I’m not even five minutes into my work when one of my warriors that is on border patrol mind links me.

“I think you had better come to the eastern border, Alpha. We just found another body.”

I curse under my breath, “Do you recognize who it is and what pack they are from?” I ask as I pick Holden back up and head downstairs.

“Uh, that isn’t possible. Whoever did this did a damn good job in hiding this she-wolf’s identity. She’s unrecognizable, Alpha.”

“Damn it! Okay, I will be there as soon as I can. I’ll send some more warriors out to you in the meantime. Do not touch anything while you wait.” I order my warrior.

“Copy that, Alpha.”

I close our mind link only to open another one to both Carter and Keenan. I inform them of what is going on and tell Keenan to send a group of warriors over to the location to begin their search for any kind of evidence. I’m assuming that whoever did this is long gone by now. Carter is to come and meet me out front before I leave myself. After leaving them their instructions, I’m once again searching for Lila.

‘Why is that woman always gone when I need her?’ I growl to myself, but then Duke answers.

“You don’t need her, Declan. There are plenty of others around to help out with our pup. Maybe it’s time you start taking note of her comings and goings. Eventually, she will fuck up, and maybe we can boot her ass out.’

What Duke says makes sense, but I don’t know exactly how all of that works. Maybe it’s time that I visit the Elders and find out what it takes to be able to denounce a forced Luna, but in the meantime, I need to find someone to take my son.

I run into one of the omegas that likes to help my mother out in the kitchen and ask her if she’s seen the former Luna. I am told that she has gone to a neighboring pack to visit a friend of hers. So, I switch directions and head out to meet with Carter.

My Beta is already waiting for me when I come out the front door, “I need you to stay and hold down the fort for me. This is something that I need to take care of myself.”

“No problem, Declan,” he glances at the bundle in my arms, “Does that include Uncle duty as well?” There is a bit of nervousness to his voice, and I grin.

“Why yes, yes it does.” I carefully pass Holden over to him as to not wake the little tyke, “Lila has disappeared once again, and my mother is visiting a friend.”

“You do know that I know nothing about babies, right?” Carter’s face grows a little pale, “Can’t you just mind link his mother?”

I sigh, “I can but I really don’t like doing it, because once I open the link up she thinks she has free reign to talk my fucking ear off. Besides, don’t have time to wait for her. You are here now. Take him to his room and place him in his crib. He should be out for a while, just make sure to keep the baby monitor with you at all times.”
