The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 53

Lila is now sitting on one of the couches in the living area by the front door when I come back inside. Looking around, I don’t see anybody else around. A little unnerved by her being left alone, I give myself a mental note to curse out my best friend and Beta. They are either too busy making out to realize that she came inside, or they left her to find a place so they could make out. Seriously, though. Those two need to have a talking to about their responsibilities around here.

I walk over and take a seat across from where the she-wolf is sitting. She smiles devilishly at me, “So, tell me all about you and the Alpha heir.”

“Pfft! We are not friends, Lila. I’m not going to share anything with you. Just tell me what you want and then leave, I have a lot to do.”

She jumps up suddenly, “I’m sorry to take up your time. I only came here to tell you to stay away from my family, and, well, I see that you have moved on, so I have no reason to be here.”

I stand up. “Fine, then don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.” I move to the stairs and head to my office, but I’m stopped by the annoying she-bitch once again.

“Quinn,” she waits until I turn around, “I do hope that now you have moved on, we can at least be civil to one another.”

This woman is out of her freaking mind! I scoff, “Until you disappear from my friend’s life, there will never be civility between you and me. You have ruined his life, and for that, I will never forgive you. Goodbye, Lila. Don’t ever come back to my territory again.”

I turn, and resume my way to my office, mind linking my warrior to escort Lila back to the border. I wonder if Declan knows that she came by. The only good thing about her showing up, is it giving me a reminder that I need to go to the doctor and get on birth control. My only problem is that we have yet to get a pack doctor, so I will have to check with Declan about going to Storm River’s doctor since they are the closest. Besides, I’ve been seeing Dr. Langly for the past three years.

Thinking of doctors, I remember my conversation with Summer. I think I will offer to pay for her schooling so she can become our doctor. I know it will take years, but she can still work in the clinic and do as much as she can, and we will figure out medication issues as we go because she will not be able to write prescriptions for a while.

Dialing Declan, he’s quick to answer, and I can’t help but smile, “Hey, Quinn. How are you?”

“I’m good, thank you, and yourself?”

“Oh fine, just trying to put the little guy down for a nap while working on pack stuff. I swear, his mother disappears all the time, not having a care about her son.” He growls softly.

“Well, that is one of the reasons why I’m calling you. Lila was just here.”

“What?! Why the fuck was she there?”

I chuckle, Apparently, your son smelled a little too much like me and she came to warn me to stay away from her family.”

“My Goddess, that woman never lets up! She’s barely a mother to Holden, and yet, she likes to stake her claim to him when it comes to you.”

“Yeah, well, I think I have her off my back now, but I did tell her to stay out of my territory. I just wanted to let you know, because next time she comes here, she may find herself in our cells for trespassing.”
