The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 22

"What are your intentions with this pack?"

I watch as my mate takes hold of Ledger's head just after she asks the question. He doesn't seem to be in any pain as he stares up at my mate in awe. In fact, Cici and Spencer have similar expressions on their faces that matches their mate's as they watch the blue vein-like lines form and climb up Quinn's hands and into her arms. Her facial expression goes from con- sternation to surprise and then a smile, but then anger fills her face as she pulls her hands away.

I'm about ready to seize the new wolf when she smiles sadly down at him, "You might have been living with witches, but you have been surrounded by wolves in sheep's clothing all these years. I can't say much for your father, but the two that you were sent here with are pure evil and they never planned for you to survive. They syphoned your magic before they left you for dead, and that's why your wolf is coming out."

"But did you see my intentions? Please tell me that I wasn' t as bad as the others!" Ledger really seems concerned on who he was as a human being before his accident.

"It's the whole reason why they wanted you dead, because they realized that you were trying to protect us from them. Ledger, I got the feeling that you had found out a secret about something and that you are or were holding it dear to your heart, not wanting anyone to know. It would be interest- ing to sit down and pick through you brain and see if I can come up with anything, not only for us, but for you as well."

"What do you mean, Luna? Do you think you can see my memories from before my accident?" He asks.

My mate chuckles, "I already know that I can, how else do you think I know your name?"

"Why haven't you done so then?"

"Ledger, I'm not going to go around invading people's pri- vacy without their permission. I didn't even know I could do it until I touched your arm that day."

"I don't like when you do it. It freaks me out when I start seeing the vein-like lines creeping into your skin. It's almost like you're using your life force." I tell my mate frowning.

"Actually, I would have to agree with Alpha, Spencer states, "I mean, I was entranced watching you do it, but now that he's mentioned it, I think that's exactly what it was do- ing."

"Oh, you guys, I feel perfectly fine. Thanks for worrying but I think I'm good. Besides, it can't hurt if I don't use it all the time." Quinn just blows off our feelings on the matter, and it kind of pisses me off but I know now isn't the time to bring it up.
