The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 100

Declan

I'm at a loss as to what I can do to get through to Quinn. She won't even see me, and all I want is to be there for her. How can I fulfill my promise to my cousin if she won't let me in. She has been through so much in her short life, and if what Gavin told me before. he passed away is true, then she has a fight ahead of her. I know Quinn is strong, but I think this could be the one thing that can. break her, so we need to get her out of her room and back to doing. what she does best, leading her pack and being Asher's mother.

When Gavin told me about his findings, everything started to make sense. I can only assume that Luna Stacia kept this secret from Quinn because it is too dangerous if it were to get into the wrong. hands. It definitely explains why she never found her mate. From my knowledge of the Dire wolf, they don't find their mates until the age of twenty, and that is why Quinn's mom left the letter for her to read the day before she turns twenty. It is also when she will come into whatever powers she may have. I am now quite certain that Quinn is my fated mate. The bond that we have had over the years. and then the syncing of our heartbeats; the attraction between us, and I can't forget how Duke is whenever he is around Tala.

'It's about time you figured it out. I thought you are supposed to be one of the greatest Alphas. Pfft,' Duke muses, 'You're as dumb as a sock of rocks!'

'Seriously, Duke. How was I supposed to know, when none of the signs are really there? The Dire wolf is supposed to be a legend."

'All legends start with some form of truth, Declan... remember that.'

'Well, if it is true, and we are mates, we won't know for another five months yet, and we can't tell her, so all we can do is keep her safe as much as we can.'

'I'm already planning on doing just that, and by the way, Quinn will turn twenty-years-old in four months, twenty-eight days, nine. hours, forty-six minutes, and seventeen seconds.' Duke states smugly.

I roll my eyes, 'Nobody like a showoff, Duke.'

'Not showing off, just stating facts.' He gives me a wolfish chuckle.

There's a knock at my office door and my mother pops her head in. She's been taking Gavin's death hard as well; she's always loved him like a son, "Declan, are you going to try and see Quinn today?"

I sigh heavily, “I plan on trying." I've tried seeing her every day since Gavin's funeral, but she has refused to see me, or anyone else for that matter.

"Good. I'm hoping Sara will be there, so we can check on her as well. She hasn't been answering my calls and that good-for- nothing Beta can't tell me anything."

"Of course, Mom. Plan on leaving in about an hour, I'm just waiting for Holden to get up from his nap, so I can take him with us." I'm hoping that seeing him will help to snap Quinn out of the state she is in.
