The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 113

Sitting here, enjoying the gorgeous day with Declan and the three kids, and suddenly,

Cam is linking me, ‘Luna, we are under attack! They are coming from the western

border, and there are a s*it ton! I’m coming to you now, please take cover.”

‘No, stay and help your warriors, I have Alpha Declan with me. We will take the children

to safety and then join you.”

With all due respect Luna, you are not joining in this fight. The Alpha Heir needs you. My

G*mma argues with me, but I don’t have time.

“We are under attack!” I inform Declan, frightened for the children.

“What do you mean?” I ask incredulously.

Enter title…

“Cam just linked me, they are coming in through the western border and there are a lot

of them. I told him to stay there while you and I get the kids to safety and then we will

join them.”

I’m sending out a pack link for everyone to take cover and for those who can fight to join

in. Each home has a safe room, it’s one of the features that Declan had put in when

rebuilding, and I couldn’t be happier at this moment. As Declan and I make our way

down to the safe room, Demi, Summer and Veronika are close behind. Cici is next to

come down in a huff because her mate is making her take cover instead of fighting.

“I’ve already alerted my pack; they are on their way too.” Declan informs me, and I am

very grateful. When I go to follow him back up the stairs he stops me, “You need to stay

put, Quinn.”

“I will not hide away while my warriors fight! I will fight right beside them!” I glare at him

and try walking around him, but he won’t allow it.

“Quinn, listen to me, I need you to stay here and take care of our pups. I trust you to

keep Holden safe for me, they both are the future of our packs and if needed, I know you

can protect them. Besides, Ash doesn’t need to lose another parent. I promised Gavin

that I would take care of the both of you, and I’m not going to let him down!”

All my anger fizzes out the moment he mentions my mate. He’s right of course, I need to

be smarter, and I need to stay alive for my son’s sake. Now isn’t the time to try and play

hero when there are so many capable warriors out there. I nod and then take Ash into

my arms.

“Thank you, Quinn.” He pulls me in for a hug and I swear I feel his lips on the top of my

head, but I don’t say anything. He bends down and kisses his son’s head before

standing back up again, “I will be back. With any luck it will be over soon with minimal

damage.”

I watch him go and then follow him so I can lock the trap door behind him. He will

replace the rug over the trap door before joining in the fight. I move over to the desk in

the corner and turn on all the monitors. The ones in town turn on first, and luckily, the

fight hasn’t gotten that far, but as the last few turn on, the ones in the surrounding forest,

there is a war going on at the west side.

I haven’t felt a bond break yet, so that’s good. It means that we haven’t lost anybody, so

all the blood that I see belongs to the enemy at the moment. We are holding strong, and

I can’t be any prouder of my warriors than I am right now.

I notice the huge black wolf enter the fighting and I know right away that it’s Duke. He is

glorious when he fights, I can watch him. all day long. He is ripping through the enemy

like they are. yesterday’s trash, and a big ole grin appears on my face. 12

All of a sudden, though, I feel it; it’s like a knife slicing through my heart as a bond

breaks. I try watching the screen to see who it might have been, but I can’t see anything

in the mass of skin and fur covering the woods. Storm River warriors come flooding in on

all sides, and that’s when the enemy pack starts to retreat. Thank Goddess it never got

anywhere near the town.

I’m still saddened over losing a pack member, even though it could have been far worse.

I continue to watch the screen to see if I can figure out who it is that we lost, but there is

just too much out there. All I can do is wait until Cam or Spencer update me. A knock on

the trap door gets my attention and I run over to it but don’t say anything.

“Quinn, it’s me, Declan.”

I breathe a sigh of relief and unlock the hatch. Declan is in a pair of shorts and still dirty

with mud and blood, but I don’t care, I hug him anyway, so happy that he’s alive and well.

He pulls away from me, looking down at my now soiled shirt, and chuckles.

“You could have waited, you know.” He shakes his head.

“Yeah, and you could have thrown a shirt on before coming down. here!” I cross my

arms and raise a brow at him.

“Had I known that you would throw yourself at me shamelessly, then I would have.”

“What!? Oh, you…”

He cuts me off, “Do you want an update or not?”

I puff out the last of my frustration, “Fine, yes. Do you know who they were?”

“I do,” he pulls me away from the others first, “Have you heard of the Gray Skies pack?”

I jerk my head back, “Why did they travel all the way here?”

“They are looking for the Dire wolf.” He says in a low tone.

I throw my hands up, ‘When are they going to give it up? There is no Dire wolf!”

“Quinn, calm down!” The Alpha lectures, “They have been taking down packs all along

the border and are finally coming our way.”

“Yeah, Gray Skies is the pack that attacked Aspen and Kimber’s old pack.” I inform him.

It’s his turn to jerk back, “It is? Do they know that the girl’s survived?”

“I’m not sure, you would have to ask them.” I watch the many emotions that pass over

Declan’s face before his eyes land on me once again and they soften, “Do you know

which pack member I lost in the fight?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He shakes his head, “I do not, Quinn, I’m sorry.”

“It’s sad, but like, I keep telling myself, only one life was lost today, so I should be

grateful, but how can someone be grateful when a life was still lost?”

“I know what you mean. Luckily, I didn’t lose any members today.” He states and I sigh

with relief because that would have really

made me feel bad.

“Looks like our packs are a force to be reckoned with. Maybe they won’t come back for

us.” I say this out loud, but I know it’s not true. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that the strong

packs get targeted the most.

‘Da da, da da!” Holden calls out for his father, interrupting our conversation.

I quickly grab a shirt off the shelf and toss it to him before he picks up his son. He smirks

at me, and I flip him off, making him throw his head back and laugh. I watch the

interaction between father and son, and it warms my heart. Just thinking how Declan put

his life on the line because of a f*cking legendary Dire wolf, p*sses me off. If they come

at us again and more of my pack die needlessly, I’ m going to bring a s*it storm down on

them.
