The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 139

I remember hearing Declan leaving the bedroom early this morning, and then I started cursing him because I couldn't get back to sleep. It's not because he woke me up, no, it's because my body is used to having him in bed with me. Without him there, holding me close, it refused to go back to sleep, so I got up and got myself ready for the day.

After finding him in my office and having a few words with one another, I head to the kitchen to see about possibly finding something to eat before we need to leave for the training field. I don't want to disturb the kitchen staff yet, so I'll just try and rummage through the cupboards, or so I thought. Amelia is already in the kitchen whipping up something on the stove.

She grins once she spots me coming in, "Happy birthday, sweet girl!" She pulls me in for a hug before going back to cooking, "I was making you breakfast, since I know you and my son will be leaving as the others are just starting to eat. Is my lazy son up as well?”

I scoff, "I think we both know that he is far from lazy. If anything, he never really slows down."

"That's true...normally, but not these last couple of weeks that he's been here with you." The former Luna smirks as she piles some bacon onto a plate.

"Oh, you want to talk about being lazy...I think Dr. Sands has been taking longer breaks each day... since YOU have been here." I chuckle and steal a strip of the crunchy meat.

"Pfft! I don't know what you're talking about, Quinn."

"Oh really? Btw, you should really wait until you are well past the tree line before you have a little make out session and strip before the two of you shift." I hide my smirk by shoving the rest of the bacon in my mouth.

She gasps and whips her head my way, "You did not witness that!"

I nod and grin wickedly, "I did, and so did your son."

"What did I see?" Declan comes walking up behind us and kisses the back of his mother's head, "Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, Son."
