The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 17

Declan

"I'm not going to disrespect you by beating around the bush, Ledger. As Alpha of two packs, and King of all werewolves, I have a responsibility that goes beyond worrying about whether I hurt our Beta's mate's feelings. I don't know you from jack, hell, no offense, but you don't even know yourself at the moment. With all that being said, though, I do want to help you get your memory back, and I do want you to be able to join your mates back at the pack house where you belong."

"Alpha Declan..."

I hold my hand up, stopping him from saying anything just yet, "I only have one question for you, and then you have the floor." I wait until he nods and then I proceed, "Do you think that there is a possibility that when you get your memory back, that you will turn on us and bring the Shikari here?"

Ledger blows out a long breath and runs his hand down his face as he leans back in the chair, "I have to be completely honest with you, I've thought about that same question since Spencer and Cici brought me back to this house. I can't tell you what you're hoping to hear because, well, I just can't know what it is that I will remember. Spending this time with both my mates, though, I can. already feel the bond with them. It may not be strong enough yet because we haven't marked each other, but there is still one there."

I stare at the male, taking in everything that he is saying. I don't feel as though he's only stringing me along, but again, I don't know the guy either. I wish I could be certain; I want our Beta's back where they belong, at the pack house.

Ledger continues, "I would like to think that when the time comes, I will choose my mates over the hunters. I don't understand how a father can hunt and destroy werewolves when his own son is one. That is something that I need to take into consideration as well."

"You are a witch too, you know. Have you had any kind of feeling come over you or anything, making you want to use your magic?" That is another thing that concerns me, his magic.
