The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 49

The looks I get when I walk back into the crowd in the back yard are priceless. Once Cici realizes who I’m holding, she comes barreling through the crowd with her arms already spread. I block her from taking him from me. He may not be mine, but he’s part of him and he’s a baby, so I’m going to hold on to him for a little longer.

“Back off baby burglar, he’s mine for now!” I hold a hand out and let Tala to the surface. My wolf is one of the biggest pup lovers I’ve ever known

“Geesh, pup hog!” she says, holding her hands in the air,

“Have you held him before?” I ask my friend through squinted eyes.

“Well, yeah. Every time I go see my parents and brother.” She states.

“Seriously? This is the first time I’ve laid eyes on him, and you’re trying to take him from me?” Tala actually growls viciously at my best friend, making her back way up.

“Okay, damn! Calm down, Tala.”

I come back to myself. “I’m so sorry. I don’t know what’s gotten into her!” I glance at Declan and he’s smirking, but then it drops. Turning back, I see why.

“Hey, who do we have here?” Gavin asks as he comes and places his hand at my lower back.

“This would be your cousin.” I grin.

“Oh, Holden, is it?” He glances at Declan, and he nods back.

“My mom is going to be so upset that I got to meet him first. She’s been talking about coming to visit ever since she heard that he was born.” He runs his finger over Holden’s little fist, and he grabs hold of Gavin’s finger as he sleeps.

“For as strong as our genes are, you would think that he would look like you.” Gavin is still just staring in amazement at the little bundle in my arms.

I guess I didn’t even think about that, but now that Gavin has mentioned it, I know what he means. I glance at Declan who is gazing down at me, not even knowing what’s going on around him.

“Do you want him back, or do you mind if I hold him for a bit yet?”

He smiles at me, “You can hold him for as long that you want.”

I can’t explain it, but I’m being a bit possessive over this pup that isn’t mine. Maybe it’s because it’s Declan’s and he’s done so much for me, I don’t know, but even Tala is feeling it. She doesn’t really say too much to me these days, mainly because she doesn’t agree with me dating Gavin, but this is my life too, so she will learn to deal with it.

NNNNNNNNNNNN

Amelia and I talk for a long while as she tells me her plans for her trip. I’m excited for her, she needs this. I think her taking this trip with her friend will be so good for her and she will come back a different she-wolf. Surprisingly, she leaves me to go talk to a long-time friend, Connor. Maybe Cici is on to something after all.

Looking around the yard, I notice both Declan and Gavin are sitting in the lawn chairs in the middle of the yard, far away from listening ears. It makes me smile, hoping that they will work things out, but I won’t hold my breath just yet.

Summer comes to sit beside me after a while, smiling as she sees the sleeping pup in my arms, “You will make such a wonderful mother someday.”

Looking down at Holden I smile. “I sure hope so.”

“You will, Quinn.”

I look her up and down and remember that I wanted to talk to her earlier, so I decided to get it over with now, “How do you know how to make that scent blocker?”

“I’ve been waiting for you to ask me,” she chuckles, “I’ve always loved medicine. I would have gone to school had I not been taken. Jasper knew this, so he asked me to work on a spray that would block our scent, so others wouldn’t be able to tell when we were around.” She picks at an imaginary piece of lint on her skirt, “I had perfected it within two weeks’ time. Instead of simply saying thank you, he thanked me

by raping me and passing me around to his friends. He told me that it would be worse if I ever told anyone that I had made it for him, even his father.”

Igasp. “Oh, my Goddess! I am so sorry, Summer!”

“It’s all over now. Quinn. I would just like to forget about it, if it’s okay with you.”

“Of course!” I squeeze her hand with my free one, “I hope you find all the happiness that you deserve with Walker.”

The she-wolf glances over at her mate, “I think I will, Quinn, I really do.”

As the afternoon turns into early evening, pack members start dwindling down. Amelia and Declan come over to claim Holden back since I’ve hogged him all afternoon. He was just too precious to let go. Once they have him settled into his carrier, I remember that I had gotten a gift for him. I rush up to my room and dig the bag out of my closet before rushing back down the steps.

“Here, I had gotten this a while ago for him, but I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to give it to him.” i hand the big gift bag over to Declan.

Placing the carrier on the patio table, he rummages through the bag. There really isn’t anything too special in it. A few articles of clothing that he can wear in a few months, some rattles and teething rings. My favor is the set of t-shirts that I had ordered in every size for the first five years of the little guy’s life. They all say the same thing, ‘Storm River Alpha in Training’. Declan seems to really love these, so I guess did good.

*Thank you, Quinn. You didn’t have to, you know.” He says softly.

“Yeah, I know, but I wanted to.” I smile slightly.

“Take care of yourself and call me if you ever need anything. We are still your family regardless.” He smiles a bit sadly.

“Yes, Quinn. Always remember that.” Amelia agrees as she comes in for a hug.

Declan is next, but his hug lingers a lot longer that Amelia’s. I see Gavin glance over at us, and the question he has in his eyes, so I pull away, “Of course, and you do the same. I promise I will talk to you this time.” I chuckle.

“Yeah, well, I’m glad we have that all cleared up.” The Alpha says, but there is still a sadness in his eyes. I’m pretty sure it will be there for some time.

“Oh, I almost forgot,” Amelia exclaims, “I’m not going to be here for your birthday!”

“It’s okay, I forgive you as long as you promise to enjoy yourself.” I chuckle.

“That, I can do, Quinn darling. You take care of yourself, and my nephew. I’m so glad the two of you have each other.” She states. Declan clears his throat and picks up the pup carrier.

“I’d like to talk to a few of the other Alphas about what we discussed earlier, Gavin.” Declan addresses his cousin.

I turn and see him sauntering up to us, “Of course. something needs to be done, and soon.” Gavin agrees.

“I will keep you informed then,” Declan states and then turns back to me, “Quinn, it’s always a pleasure.” He winks after saying such a thing, knowing that I’m the only one that understands why he says it. Ever since we were intimate and he was the first to give me the pleasure that I needed, he’s said that simple phrase.

I finish saying goodbye to everyone and then collapse in a chair on the deck. Gavin drops in a chair in front of me and grabs my foot, slipping my shoe off to massage it. I sit back and enjoy the feel of his fingers kneading into the sorest parts of my feet.

“Mm, that feels so good.” I close my eyes and lay my head back against the head rest.

“I had a good time today. Quinn. Thank you for having me be part of it.” He says.

Igrin, keeping my eyes closed and head back, “Like I could tell you to leave when you were the one cooking the main meal.”

“Oh, so you used me for my skills. I see, and it’s grilling, not cooking.” He tickles the bottom of my foot.

I try jerking my foot away, but he grips it tighter. When I kick out with my other, he grabs that one two. I struggle as I laugh, losing steam really quick

“Okay, okay.” I laugh, “I give up!”

“Hm, I kind of like you restrained. You look hot.” He wiggles his brows at me.

A small throb begins to form at my core, and I giggle nervously. “Can you please let me go?” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Will you come over here and give me a kiss?” He muses still holding on tight.

I nod, “If I must.” I joke.

He let’s go of my limbs, setting them back down. “Come here.” he orders huskily.

I lean forward at first, and press my lips against his, but I need more, so I move until I’m on his lap, straddling his legs. Opening my mouth, I let his tongue sweep in and tangle with mine as our kiss heats up. His hands go to my ass, but he only rests them there.

After talking with Declan and knowing that he now knows about me and Gavin, I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I also feel that I can now move forward with Gavin. I begin to move my body just slightly, getting more into the make out session. I don’t want him thinking that I’m wanting to dry hump him, but I move slightly, hoping that he will pick up on my little hint. I want to see if he will take control, and if he doesn’t, then I will.

I grab both sides of his face as our tongues clash together, each of us making our own moaning sounds, letting the other know that we are into it. There is a slight squeeze to my ass, and that’s all I need to move forward.

“Don’t do it, Quinn.’ I hear Tala’s small plea.

‘I’m not going to live my life as a nun, waiting on something that is never going to happen. I’m sorry, Tala.’

I feel my wolf’s hesitation, “Fine, whatever, but don’t say that I never warned you!’ Tala huffs and goes back to her little corner.

I turn my attention back to the man who is now moving my hips back and forth over his hardness. I don’t want just a dry hump session. I need the real thing; I need to feel the closeness of another body.

Reluctantly, I pull my mouth away, “Want to take this inside, to my room?” | ask, still trying to catch my breath.

Gavin looks lustfully at me and then smiles, “Yeah, if that’s what you want.”

I nod.

“Answer one question for me, though.”

“Okay…”

“What’s going on between you and Declan?”
