The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 122

Declan

I'm struggling to keep Duke from claiming our mate as I hold her in my arms and kiss her passionately. I've missed her so much that I' m already hard, but lucky for me, the blankets are hiding it. The last thing I want to do is scare her away when I'm just getting her back. When I hear her little whimper and watch as she closes her eyes, I take the kiss a little deeper and hold her a little tighter.

There is a commotion in the hall that causes us to pull away from each other. Quinn jumps from the bed just as the door to my room opens and my Beta comes rushing in. He stops suddenly when he sees us and scratches his head.

"Your mom said that our Alpha was down. I thought you were dying!" He places his hands on his hips and breathes a huge sigh of relief.

"That was my bad," Quinn states, "That's what I told Cici to say to Amelia, but I wasn't sure how bad he was. I had to keep giving him my blood because he lost too much."

"Quinn most definitely saved me, and I'll be making a full recovery thanks to her. The fucker took a chunk out of Dukes flank."

"Oh stop. You saved me first, or did you forget that?" Quinn can't take compliments, she never could, it embarrasses her too much, but she deserves the credit. "You were lecturing me for being out of the safe room, remember?" She smirks.

"Yeah, but your reasoning is a valid one. You were protecting our pups and everyone else that was in there." Saying 'our' pups

Dividing into näave pietar sounds right even though that isn't what I meant. One day soon, they both will be ours. I turn back to my Beta, "Report?"

"We have the Gray Skies Alpha in the cells here at Dark Moon. His pack has been decimated except for a few who had surrendered on their own. They are being held too, but I don't think they are a threat. They didn't have their Alpha's beliefs about the Dire wolf." Carter seems a bit off until he looks at Quinn, "You're the Dire wolf, aren't you?"

She looks at me, "I didn't tell anyone, because it's your secret to tell." I explain.

"You could have told your Beta; I trust Carter with my life." She says, "I've told Spencer and of course, Cam since they are my right hands. The rest will wait until my birthday."

Carter chuckles, "I
