The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 19

Quinn

The nerve of Cici thinking that I don't care about her or Spencer! I don't know Ledger, so of course I didn't add him into my response, but damn it all! I've only made it hallway back to the pack house but then decide to veer off and enter the woods, so I can try and cool down some. I know my best friend is a little hot-headed, but I never thought that she would turn it on me like this. It hurts more than anything, her thinking that I want to send any pack member into danger. I know Ledger isn't a member yet, but he is still their mate, which automatically makes him a member in my eyes.

"Quinn..."

I whip around at the sound of my own mate's voice, so far in my own thoughts that I didn't even hear or sense him coming; I need to get a hold of myself, "You! What did you think you were doing. back there... offering yourself up?"

Declan sighs, "Like I told them, I am their Alpha, and I should go as well."

I start poking him in the chest, "Do you want to cause me more heartache? I've already lost one mate; I can't lose another one."

He takes hold of my poking finger and brings it up to his lips for a kiss, "Do you not think me capable of taking care of myself?"

"That isn't is, Declan, and you know it! We don't know what we are dealing with yet, they are witches!"

"I will also have both Spencer and Ledger there with me."

"No, you won't have Spencer. If you insist on going then you will take Cam with you, because we both know that if there is danger, Spencer will protect his mate before he protects you. We can't fault him for it, either, but you and both know it's true."

"So, you want to sacrifice their mate in order to keep me safe?" He gives me a saddened look, "That doesn't sound like you, Quinn."

"No, I don't want to sacrifice anybody, but at least she will still have one mate left. Neither of you know what it's like to lose a mate, hell, Gavin wasn't even my fated and it hurt like hell, it still does, but you... if something happens to you, it will destroy me!"

Suddenly, I'm pulled into a set of strong arms and crushed against a hard chest, "I will do everything in my power to keep myself alive for you and our pups, Quinn."

I remain encased in my mate's embrace for only a moment and then I push myself away, "I'm still mad at you."
