The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 1

"The Shikari," my mate states with a worried expression, "they have found us, they are here!"

Just before my mate makes his statement, Alpha Benjamin starts yelling that it's started and that 'they' are here. I'm not sure what the hell is going on at the moment but the first thing I do is take off for the pack house to make sure my boys are secured in the safe room.

'I think you should sit this one out baby, stay with the boys.' Declan links me.

'Like hell I will! You are always trying to get me to stay out of the fighting! Just because I don't know what my powers are yet, doesn't mean I can't fight.' I growl back at him.

'Okay, fine, but you stay by my side at all times! That's not negotiable.' He growls back.

'Deal!' I grin only because he isn't near me to see it.

I make it back to the pack house and I can just feel the nervous energy within it as I enter, "Quinn! Where the fuck have you been? I've been looking all over for you!" My best friend glares at me, "Something is happening, and I think we need to get to the safe room!"

I shake my head, "You and the others take the children and get down there. I'm going with the others to figure out what's going on. Declan says that the Shikari are here, and we don't know what kind of opponent they are yet."

"Are you crazy?! They are here for you!" Cici shrieks as she freaks out on me. She tries grabbing my hand, but I stop her and grab hers instead.

"Protect our babies, Cici. Keep them both safe!" I look toward the stairs where Demi is making her way down carrying her son, with two guards, each carrying one of my sons.

I run to them and give them both a kiss on the forehead, telling them that I love them. I turn to the guards, "I want you both to go into the safe room with them, and you are to protect them with your life if it comes down to it."

"Yes, my Queen!"

I roll my eyes at the title, but I don't bother to argue at the moment. Turning back to Cici, I hug her, "I'm going to send Spencer back here to protect the pack house."

"But you need him with you; he's your Beta!" Even though she states this, Cici's voice is filled with relief.

I have my mate by my side, it's only fair that you have yours close to you. Besides, two of my most precious things are inside this house, and I trust your mate to keep them safe."

"Thank you, Quinn," she hugs me tightly, "Please be safe out there!"

"Pfft! I've been kidnapped twice now; do you honestly think I will allow anybody to get the jump on me again?"

"I know you won't, but they aren't here to take you, Quinn. They are coming to kill you, so they can kill the rest of us." Even being scared, Cici still chuckles at me.

"Well, there you have it! Nothing can happen to me because I was
