The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 46

“I thought you’d never ask…” He gives me his drop-dead gorgeous grin as he swoops down. He bends

me backwards as he gives me his lips chuckling at first, but then the kiss changes and he brings me

back up but never breaks the kiss. He lifts me up and sets me down on top of my desk as I wrap my

legs around his waist. He doesn’t try taking it any further and to be honest, I’m struggling on whether or

not to do so.

“Mm, maybe we should stop before someone walks in…” I say against his lips, but then wrap my arms

around his neck and i kiss him harder.

“I’ll stop if you stop.” He mumbles and then squeezes my ass.

“Don’t you dare…”

I grab hold of his hair as he lays me back onto my desk, so he comes down with me. I can feel his

hardness twitch against my core, and suddenly Declan pops into my head. Pulling my lips away and

turning my head so I can catch my breath, Gavin continues to kiss up and down my neck oblivious to

what’s going on in my head.

I feel guilty, but I don’t know if I feel guilty for thinking of Declan while I’m with Gavin or that I’m making

out with Gavin behind Declan’s back even though there is nothing between me and the Alpha of Storm

River. It’s so confusing. I’m so engrossed in my own head that I don’t even realize that Gavin has

stopped kissing me.

“Quinn…” He says my name, his voice laced with worry.

“I’m sorry….” I don’t know what to say.

He smiles down at me, but then he’s helping me to sit up and then straightens my hair, “I think we

might have gotten a little carried away.”

He’s too sweet. We both know that I pretty much initiated that, “No!I mean, maybe a little, but it was

nice.” I grab his face and kiss his lips once more, but I leave my tongue in my own mouth this time.

“I would like to have a little talk with Connor and Walker, and the rest of the group as well, if you don’t

mind.”

My eyes widen, “Oh shit! They’re still in the safe room!”

Gavin chuckles, “That’s what you did with them? I wondered, but what about their scent? I never

scented them when we came in.”

* Apparently, Summer knows how to make that little concoction that you can cover your scent with,

because she’s the one that was supplying Jasper with it before.” I open my door and head downstairs

to the back of the house.

Speak of the devil. Summer is just coming from the kitchen as I open the door to the safe room. I point

to her, “Don’t go anywhere, I want a word with you.” She points to herself, and I nod, “Yeah you!”

Just as the safe room door opens all the way, Summer gasps, and then I hear a low growl coming from

the safe room. All of a sudden, Walker blows past me and stops as he comes face to face with

Summer

“Mate!” he growls.

Summer breathes heavily as she gazes at the handsome male in front of her, “Mate…” she whispers

softly.

They both rush towards each other, and crash together as they hug. Gavin and I glance at one another

and smile, glad that we were able to bring another mated pair together, even if neither one of us have

found ours.

“Um, Summer, this is Walker, and Walker, this is Summer.” I chuckle because I don’t think either one

hears me. I turn back toward the safe room and see Connor with a proud grin on his

face,”Congratulations, Connor. Looks like you just gained a daughter-in-law.” I laugh.

He watches his son and new-found mate, “I was worried that he would never find her.”

I place my hand on his shoulder and lean in, “She’s been gone for the past three years, but that’s her

story to tell, not mine.” He nods and smiles before stepping out and going over to the mated couple.

“I guess I will hold off on talking to them for a little bit.” he chuckles, and then looks back in at the rest of

the group, but his chuckle fades as he stares at the youngest of the women, the one that rode with me

and the children, “Demi? Why are you here?”

My heart lurches for a moment thinking this is an ex-girlfriend or something, but then he turns to me

and explains, “Demi is one of my friend’ s cousins. She used to tag along with us every chance she

got.”

I’m confused, “How old is she?”

CHAPTER 46

“I’m twenty The she-wolf states.

“Oh I took you as maybe eighteen, I’m sorry.”

The woman smiles “That’s okay, everybody thinks I’m younger than I actually am.”

“You haven’t answered my question, Demi.” I can hear a trace or worry in Gavin’s voice.

*H needed to get away from there.” She stutters and looks away.

Why Demi?” Gavin sounds a bit more demanding and I place my hand on his arm. He closes his eyes

a moment and takes a deep breath,

just need to know why.”

Demi looks at Gavin, “Because I didn’t want your brother growing up with that evil man you call father.”

Gavin’s back straightens and he looks around, finally noticing the little three-year-old gripping Demi’s

leg. Now that she’s mentioned it, I can see the resemblance. I cover my mouth and look at Gavin who

is standing there shocked as hell.

“Your father would rape me two to three times a week and refused to use a condom,” the she-wolf

continues, “I wasn’t on the medication because I was only seventeen years old. Your father wouldn’t

allow me to take it; he wanted me to get pregnant.”

*Demi.” Gavin blinks and tries saying more, but nothing comes out.

“It’s not your fault, Gavin, you didn’t know. The only person who knew was your father’s Beta, and we

all know how much of a coward he was when it came to standing up to your father.”

“I am so sorry, Demi.”

gasp when Gavin drops to his knees and covers his face. Demi follows him down and wraps her arms

around him, “it’s okay now, Gavin. I have Ayden because of it, and even though I hate his father, I love

my son to pieces. I also know that he has an older brother that is a good man and who will be an

amazing Alpha one day.”

“That’s what your father meant by them stealing something from him

wasn’t it?” I ask Gavin.

“I’m sure it was. I think he did it to make sure he had another heir in case I failed him.” Gavin sounds so

desolate.

“Well, you just need to prove him wrong, Gavin.” It’s Demi who says this, “Blue River needs a real

Alpha, their true Alpha, and that is you!”

“I’ve tried, Demi. He refuses to hand it over.” Gavin looks up at her.

I go down to my knees in front of him, “Maybe we can get him to change his mind. Wait until he talks to

you like he said. You never know, 1 might have gotten through to him.” I say hopeful.

He smiles at me, but it’s a sad one, “Yeah, maybe.”

Well that doesn’t sound too convincing, but I stand up and hold out a hand for him to take, which he

does, “How about we go make some lunch? Do you know how to work a grill?”

He stands up and his grin is much broader, “Are you seriously asking a male if we know how to grill?”

I shrug, “I’m only asking because I surely don’t, and we need to come up with a quick lunch for all these

hungry faces and the only thing! can think of is hamburgers and hot dogs. We can make it into a

welcome to the pack lunch.”

He throws his arm around my shoulder as we turn towards the door, “Let the grill expert show you how

it’s done.”

“Oh, maybe another time. I’ll help the ladies make the salads in the kitchen. I giggle as I move out from

under his arm.

“Oh good, right where a woman belongs!” He jokes and slaps my ass as I go to take off.

I spin on him, almost making him walk into me. Hands on my hips, I raise a brow, “Want to say that

again?”

He grins and then picks me up off my feet and whispers in my ear, “You didn’t let me finish. I forgot to

add in nothing but an apron.” He drops me back down to the floor.

“What?” I slap his chest.

“Hey, at least I didn’t say barefoot and pregnant.” He laughs before taking off out the door before I can

react.

Hm… I’m kind of falling a little bit in love with Gavin myself now. How about you? Team Declan or Team

Gavin?
