The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 114

Once everything is cleaned up and the enemy's bodies are burned, everyone comes back to the pack house's front lawn, so we can have a meeting. Those that are injured go home to let their wolves. heal them or the really bad ones make their way to the hospital to have Dr. Sands patch them up. Declan's pack have already headed home after I've thanked them profusely. I tried offering them to stay for a BBQ but they all refuse, and I think Declan has something to do with it. It irritates me that he won't allow me to thank his men in my own way, but I've got more important things to deal with at the moment.

"Spencer," I grab his attention as soon as I spot him coming. towards me, "Please, tell who it is that we lost!" I need to know who it is that gave his life for this pack.

"He was one of the newer pack members, Alpha. His name was Andrew. He's only been with us for two months, but he's got a mate."

I close my eyes, "Oh, Goddess! Who is his mate?"

Unexpectedly, a male voice speaks up and another warrior steps forward, "I am, Alpha Quinn. I'm Vince, and we were mated two years ago." There is a crack in his voice at the end, but he holds himself well.

I walk down the steps and make my way toward the grieving mate. Pulling him into me, I hug him tightly, "I am so very sorry for your loss, Vince. Andrew was a brave warrior and he will never be forgotten."

We heard Dark Moon's name come up so many times that we decided to head here. You made us feel welcomed and accepted, and for that I will always be grateful, and will serve you always." The warrior then takes a knee and I smile.

Suddenly, every warrior and non-warrior on the front lawn are going down, one by one, as they take a knee before me. I can't stop the tears that begin to fall at the sight in front of me. Declan comes to my side and puts his arm around my shoulder and pulls me into him for comfort, and I accept it.

He sighs as he looks around the table, "Maybe they got the wrong pack and meant to hit mine because of the bloodline. I'm not ashamed to say that I had Dire wolves in my family at one time.
