The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 4

Declan

I'm really disappointed that my mate did not come and join me in the shower like I thought she would, so when I'm done drying off, and get dressed, I go in search of her. My senses take me to the nursery where I find her sound asleep in the rocking chair with both pups in her arms. Holden's head is on her shoulder with drool hanging from his mouth, soaking her shoulder. Asher is cradled in her other arm, blowing milk bubbles in his sleep.

I have no choice but to take a picture of this; it's just too adorable not to. Okay, maybe I take five instead of one, but I needed one from all angles. Pocketing my phone, I carefully try lifting Holden off of her, but her grip tightens and then suddenly there is a growl, and her eyes are open with Tala's glowing eyes staring back at me. Once she realizes who I am, she snaps out of it.

"I am so sorry, babe! I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's okay. It's been a long day, so it's understandable." I lift my son up successfully this time and walk him over to the other crib where I lay him down on his back. He won't stay in that position, though, because he's a mover when he sleeps.

"Well, you definitely smell much better from when you did before." Quinn smirks.

"I don't know, your Beta's thought I smelled pretty good!" I grin.

"Yeah, what was that all about?" My mate stands and places our youngest in his own crib.

"Who the fuck knows, it's been a strange day all around." I scrub my face, starting to feel the exhaustion set in.

"Has Jonah contacted you yet? I don't know if he tried linking me while I was sleeping. I was obviously in a deep sleep."

"I haven't, babe."

"Ugh, I'm not going to be able to sleep until I know how the patient is." She starts pacing the floor until I take hold of both her shoulders, stopping her.
