The Alpha Who Saved Me

chapter 10

Declan

To say that both Quinn and I are shocked over the fact that the injured hunter is our Beta's second mate, making them a throuple. or however it's referred to these days, is putting it mildly. I can't believe that I didn't see the signs last night as they were scenting him on me through his blood. I honestly thought they were both going crazy.

My mate thought it would be best to leave them for a while, so they can have some alone time with him. Doc reassured us that he wouldn't be waking up for some time yet and knew that under no circumstances is he to bring the hunter out of the coma before Quinn and I get back from my pack. I feel bad for the Beta couple, I really do, but the male cannot be trusted, at least not yet anyway. For Cici and Spencer's sake, I truly hope that he does turn out trustworthy.

I had informed Carter of the new development with his sister and her mate. He isn't too happy, but what can any of us do. The Goddess gave them to each other for a reason, so now we have to figure out why. If there is even a why; sometimes those answers are never found, but this one is too important not to find out.

'I think they make a cute pairing.' My mate links from beside me. We are watching the doctor start bringing Ledger out of his coma, and Quinn picks now to say this.

I snort, 'You think Tom and Jerry would make a cute pairing and they are lifetime enemies.' I link back.

'That's a cartoon, babe, not real life.'

'And humans would say the same about us, because they think we are only stories.' I grin.

'Hm, that is very true. So, you're saying that Tom and Jerry are real... gotcha.'

I turn my head and gawk at the beautiful woman, not believing that she would actually think...

I smirk at her cuteness as I keep my eye on the male in the bed. It takes a while but finally, his eyes open and the first ones that he looks upon are his mates. He seems really interested in them both, which is a good sign for

him at this point. Like Quinn just told Cici, he needs to rest. Maybe

a hard kiss. My cock grows hard just like it does every other time I kiss my mate. I can't get enough of her, she's an addiction that I just can't shake. I steal my lips back from her, "Take my jeep and meet me back in
