The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 53

Lila is now sitting on one of the couches in the living area by the front door when I come back inside. Looking around, I don’t see anybody else around. A little unnerved by her being left alone, I give myself a mental note to curse out my best friend and Beta. They are either too busy making out to realize that she came inside, or they left her to find a place so they could make out. Seriously, though. Those two need to have a talking to about their responsibilities around here.

I walk over and take a seat across from where the she-wolf is sitting. She smiles devilishly at me, “So, tell me all about you and the Alpha heir.”

“Pfft! We are not friends, Lila. I’m not going to share anything with you. Just tell me what you want and then leave, I have a lot to do.”

She jumps up suddenly, “I’m sorry to take up your time. I only came here to tell you to stay away from my family, and, well, I see that you have moved on, so I have no reason to be here.”

I stand up. “Fine, then don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.” I move to the stairs and head to my office, but I’m stopped by the annoying she-bitch once again.

“Quinn,” she waits until I turn around, “I do hope that now you have moved on, we can at least be civil to one another.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

This woman is out of her freaking mind! I scoff, “Until you disappear from my friend’s life, there will never be civility between you and me. You have ruined his life, and for that, I will never forgive you. Goodbye, Lila. Don’t ever come back to my territory again.”

I turn, and resume my way to my office, mind linking my warrior to escort Lila back to the border. I wonder if Declan knows that she came by. The only good thing about her showing up, is it giving me a

reminder that I need to go to the doctor and get on birth control. My only problem is that we have yet to get a pack doctor, so I will have to check with Declan about going to Storm River’s doctor since they are the closest. Besides, I’ve been seeing Dr. Langly for the past three years.

Thinking of doctors, I remember my conversation with Summer. I think I will offer to pay for her schooling so she can become our doctor. I know it will take years, but she can still work in the clinic and do as much as she can, and we will figure out medication issues as we go because she will not be able to write prescriptions for a while.

Dialing Declan, he’s quick to answer, and I can’t help but smile, “Hey, Quinn. How are you?”

“I’m good, thank you, and yourself?”

“Oh fine, just trying to put the little guy down for a nap while working on pack stuff. I swear, his mother disappears all the time, not having a care about her son.” He growls softly.

“Well, that is one of the reasons why I’m calling you. Lila was just here.”

“What?! Why the fuck was she there?”

I chuckle, Apparently, your son smelled a little too much like me and she came to warn me to stay away from her family.”

“My Goddess, that woman never lets up! She’s barely a mother to Holden, and yet, she likes to stake her claim to him when it comes to you.”

“Yeah, well, I think I have her off my back now, but I did tell her to stay out of my territory. I just wanted to let you know, because next time she comes here, she may find herself in our cells for trespassing.”

“Good! I hope she does try again then.” We both chuckle.

*As much as I would love to help you out by keeping her locked up here, I highly doubt I would have any warriors left, because they would quit after a few days of dealing with her.” i muse.

*Very true,” He laughs. “I’m sorry that you have to deal with my fuck ups, Quinn. It was never meant to be this way.”

“I know this, Declan, and I don’t blame you.”

He clears his throat. “You said that was one of the reasons you were calling, what else did you need?”

“Oh, yes. I was wondering if you would be okay if I came to see Dr. Langly for my yearly checkup, since we don’t have a pack doctor yet.”

“Of course, you and any of your pack can come see him if they need to and as long as he agrees. You are already his patient so he shouldn’t have an issue.”

“Thank you.” | go on and tell him my thoughts about Summer, and he thinks it’s a good idea as well, Any leads on the one doing the

killings?”

“No,” he sighs heavily, and I doubt he’s done doing them, so please make sure you’re careful. I believe this is all about you, Quinn.”

“Why, though? Why me? I’m just an orphan-turned-Alpha.” I struggle to figure this out.

“I don’t know, but I won’t stop until we find them. I think you shouldn’t go anywhere without guards, at least until we catch the fucker.”

“I can’t live my life that way, Declan. You know me too well to even suggest that.”

He chuckles sadly. “I know.”

I don’t want him to stress over me, so I try to appease him, “Hey, I will be careful, and when I leave my territory, I won’t go by myself, but I will not have guards on my all the time.”

“You’re so stubborn, woman.” He snickers, “But I will take it, I guess.”

“Okay, well I better go, but I will let you know when I come to see Doc and will come by to see you and my namesake.” Smiling to myself because I think it was sweet of him to give his son a middle name to take after me, even if the baby does belong to the pack whore; he’s still a part of Declan.

“Okay, see you soon…”

I’m in my office working on financials when Cici comes strolling in. She’s the only one that gets away without knocking because to be honest, she wouldn’t listen anyway if I tell her to knock first. She throws herself onto the couch in the corner of my office and sighs heavily. I continue to work until the second sigh comes.

“Are you needing something, Cici?”

“No, I’m just bored. Spencer is away on pack business and now I have nothing to do.”

I smirk because I sent her mate away on this said business just so they can learn to be apart every once in a while, “I was going to call you in soon anyway, so I might as well talk to you now about it. I am going to be having the old pupcare opening back up, and I need someone to manage it for me. I thought that you might be interested while you’re still in beauty school.”

“Are you fucking serious right now?” She sits up, excitedly.

“Of course, I’m serious. I wouldn’t be asking you otherwise. Veronika will be in charge of taking care of the pups, but she has she doesn’t have a head for business, so you are my first choice.”

“Yes! I’ll take the job!”

“Thank you, you don’t know how much this means to me. Having you take this extra weight from my shoulders is a relief. I trust you to run it accordingly. You will have a monthly allowance, but you will need to run anything extra by me first. Otherwise, she’s all yours.”

“Oh, my Goddess,” she comes running over to me, literally jumping into my lap, “Thank you, thank you! When do I start?”

I open a drawer and pull out a set of keys, “No time like the present. I have she-wolves wanting to go to work but have no one to watch their

pups.”

She snatches the keys from me, “Great! I will have it up and running by no later than the end of the week.”

| stop her before she gets all the way out the door, “Make sure you contact Veronika. She needs to be in the loop at all times.”

“Will do, Alpha!”

‘Well, that didn’t take much convincing.’ Tala chuckles.

‘I know she’s been bored here, and I want her to feel welcome and at home here.’l explain to my wolf.

“Yeah, Rani has been depressed lately.’ She states.

“Maybe we should go for a run with them soon. It’s been way too long since we stretched out our legs with those girls.’I suggest and Tala agrees.

‘Let’s make it happen. I’m all for it.’

“Great, all I have to do is catch up on my work here and then i’ll see if she wants to go.’

Tala and Rani used to love running together. There were times where they would keep us held back just so they could spend more time together. Cici and I would get so mad at them for holding us hostage in our own bodies, but our wolves are just as mischievous as we are, so we couldn’t really fault them.

Finishing up my financials, I’m just about ready to link Cici about going for a run when another member anxiously mind links me, ‘Alpha, it’s happened again!’ A warrior’s voice comes through very loudly.

‘What are you talking about? What’s happened again?’

‘The killer has struck again!’

That’s it until tomorrow! Hope everyone has wonderful weekend! =)
