The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 72

Declan

“I don’t have time for your b*l**hit today, Lila! How many times do I have to tell you to stay out of my f*cking sight unless it has to do with Holden?” I growl at the annoying she-wolf. She has the audacity to come into my office and try to seduce me! I am

repulsed by her, and just thinking about using my mating rights with her makes my stomach turn. I honestly don’t know what I saw in her to begin with.

“But Alpha, I’m sure you need a release after all this time, and with all the stress that you are under…” She jumps at the sound of my fist coming down on my desk.

“You are a huge part of my stress, Lila! The fact that you keep intruding into my space or bothering me when I’m trying to locate a good friend makes up most of my stress level!”

“Alpha Declan, Quinn has been gone for months. Do you honestly think that she will ever come back? She’s probably being used as a s*ave or something. There’s no telling how many males have used her by now…”

Once again, she finds my hand wrapped around her neck. My face is less than two inches from her face, “When will you learn to never talk about Alpha Quinn? Do you have a death wish? I am more than happy to oblige if you do!” I stare deep into her eyes, trying to see if I can find anything within them, “Did you have something to do with her abduction? You better think twice before you try lying to your Alpha!” I sneer.

Her eyes widen, “I swear Alpha, I had nothing to do with her being.

taken. I swear on my life!” She rasps out.

I slam her body into the wall before letting her neck go, “Your life doesn’t mean s*it to me, Lila.”

After a slight coughing fit, she looks up at me from the floor, “Fine, I swear on Hold…”

I grab her hair, yanking her head back, “If you know what’s good for you, you will not finish that sentence!” Letting her hair go, I walk back to my desk, “Get the f*ck out of my sight before I decide to send you on vacation to your cell again.”

She wastes no time scurrying out of my office just as my Beta comes waltzing in. He turns his head in Lila’s direction and chuckles, “What the f*ck did she want this time?”

I roll my eyes and then rub my temples, “That woman never gives up. She thinks she can still seduce me into sleeping with her and when I don’t give her what she wants, she brings Quinn up.”

“What are you going to do about her? Have you decided?” My friend asks as he takes the seat in front of my desk.

“There is nothing I can do except keep locking her in the cell, but even then, I can only keep her in it for so long. The Elders frown upon imprisoning my Luna, apparently. They are saying that I’m only trying to get out of my duties as her Alpha.” I scoff, and then wave my hand, “Enough about the she-b*tch. How’s mated life?” I grin at my best friend. I am so happy that he’s finally found his

mate.

A goofy smile appears across Carter’s face, “Aspen is amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mate for myself.”

“No pups on the way yet?” I smirk.

“Nah, we decided that we want to wait. We want to spend some time with just the two of us for a while, but we definitely love practicing.”

I throw my head back and give a full belly laugh, “Oh, I’m sure you do, my friend!”

Once the room grows quiet again, Carter asks solemnly, “Any new leads?”

I sober up, running my hand over my face, “Not a d*mn one. How can anyone fall off the face of the earth? If it wasn’t for the pack bond, I’d swear she was dead. That bond is the only thing keeping me going.”

“The f*cker can’t hide forever, Declan. We will get him, and we will end him.” My Beta growls at the thought of taking out whoever it is that took Quinn. He’s going to have to get in line, though.

Carter and I are in the middle of discussing the expansion that is supposed to take place here in a few weeks when my phone rings. Rolling my eyes when I see the caller ID, I answer and put it on speaker phone.

“What is it now, Gavin?”

“Round up our allies, we’ve found her. I’m on my way to your territory now.”

“Wait! You found Quinn? How the f*ck did you manage that?” I ask excitedly but still with a little bite to it.

“A call came in from a pack doctor. I don’t have any details, but he sent me coordinates to where she is located.”

There is a pause, “Well, where the f*ck is she?” I ask in annoyance because getting information from him is like pulling teeth.

“Ever heard of the Black Forest pack? They are about two and a half hours away from here.” My cousin states.

“Hm, the name sounds familiar, but nothing is popping out at me.”

“Well, they were one of Desert Sands allies. I believe that is where Jasper has been hiding. The Alpha there is young and could be impressionable, but I really don’t know.”

“How do you know that it isn’t a trap?” I question.

“Do you think that thought hasn’t crossed my mind? I don’t know… the doctor is being careful. It seems as though he isn’t wanting to get caught.” Gavin states.

I glance at my Beta and he nods, “Alright, I will call the others, so we can put a plan into motion.”

“I will be there soon, and Declan…”

“Yeah?”

“Think positive for once.” The s*it hangs up right after telling me to think positive.

Carter chuckles, and I glare at him, “What the f*ck are you laughing at?”

“Nothing, just that Gavin is right, you never think on the positive side.” My friend agrees with my a*s of a cousin.

“Well, maybe if something would go right in my life, then I would think on the positive side.” I growl, “My life is a s*it show and the one good thing that was good in my life was ripped from me, so

Niudina inte asa

yeah, I’m a negative person.” Picking up the receiver on my desk, my first call goes out to Deke.

Gavin is full of energy when he gets to my territory, wanting to go in, guns blazing and shooting everyone on sight. That’s just a metaphor because we don’t use guns, our wolves are deadly enough. After I’m able to get him to calm the f*ck down, he informs me of everything that took place since his warrior linked him.

I then go online and try to do a little investigating, that way we aren’t going in completely blind. Thanks to special software for wolves only, we can get the layout of every pack’s territory by simply typing in the name of the pack. The Alpha’s name isn’t needed, but it’s nice to have every bit of info that we can muster.

Once again, all of our allies come to our aid to rescue Quinn. This time, we are not leaving that territory until we know that f*cker is dead, if it is Jasper. Regardless of whether or not it’s that b*stard, the person who dared to take another Alpha will pay dearly.

We all leave from our own territories and plan on meeting up about a mile from the Black Forest border. Again, we know that they will have rogues on their side, but we handled them pretty well the first time, with little casualties. We are hoping that whoever has Quinn has become complacent since it’s been a few months.

Goddess, three months Quinn has been inside that hell, and I can only assume that’s what it is for her. I pray, she will come out of this the same as last time, but with the length of time that it’s been, she’s probably lost all hope of us ever finding her.

Gavin decided to ride with me instead of wasting time to go all the way home, so when his phone pings with an incoming message,

he curses, and suddenly a chill runs down my spine before he even says a word.

“We need to step on it! The doctor just texted me, telling me that Quinn is being punished for punching another she-wolf and spitting in the Alpha’s face.” Gavin relays the message.

I can’t help the grin that spreads across my face, “Quinn, ever the fighter.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Another ping comes through, “F*CK!” My cousin curses, “There will be a public whipping with wolfsbane taking place in one hour. It’s to be held in the town square!”

I’m already on my phone with the other Alpha’s. With this new information, we can’t take any chances in taking our time. Time is of the essence now, and as soon as all the Alphas are on the video call, I turn to my screen, “There’s been a change of plans.”

That’s it for today…thanks for reading! Leave me your thoughts in the comment section and come back tomorrow for more! Hope you all have an amazing day! =)
