The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 13

Spencer

When Quinn tells me that we can stay in Cam and Veronika's house for now, I'm not going to lie, it hurts. I know me and Cici can. come home but Ledger is our mate too. How would she feel if the roles were reversed. I understand her concerns, especially with the pups, but it's as though she doesn't trust me as her Beta. So, with a heavy heart, I informed her that I would be taking a leave of absence from my duties. Of course, it doesn't go over too well and the next thing I know, I have a very angry Queen at our doorstep.

"What the fuck do you mean, you are taking a leave of absence? I need you more now than ever, Spencer!" Quinn's voice is loud, but she isn't using her aura on me, so that's telling me that she is hurt more than she is angry.

"I'm sorry, Quinn. I cannot serve as Beta to this pack when the Luna and Alpha, pardon me, the Queen and King do not trust my judgement." Now that I'm saying it to her face, it's breaking my heart even more.

"What the hell are you talking about? You're not making any sense, of course, we trust your judgement, I trust your judgement!"

"With all due respect, Luna, I beg to differ. If you did trust my judgement, then Cici and I would have our new mate settled into the Beta suite as we speak."

It's almost as if I had slapped her, her head whips back that fast as though I've hit her, "That is why you are stepping down?"

"What would you do, Quinn, if you were in my shoes?" I run my hand through my hair and then step outside, shutting the door behind me because I don't want to disturb Ledger resting, "Look, I understand your concern and all, but he's got amnesia for Goddess's sake, he can't even remember who he is! When we told him that he had both werewolf and witch blood in him, he didn't take it all that well, and doesn't understand how he or his father would want to kill werewolves when he, himself, is one. He's lost and confused, and now he feels like he's a burden to me and Cici."
