The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 45

"This is ridiculous! You do know that as an Alpha, my time is precious. I have too many things that I need to be doing that sitting here waiting for your Alpha to get here!" I make sure I put enough annoyance into my voice. Trying to buy time so my Beta can mind link his mate and get the newcomers hidden into the saferoom and send someone for Gavin's vehicle. It's nice having a Beta that knows you so well that you don't even need to tell him what to do, he just knows. He sends me a slight nod, indicating that he's contacted his mate.

"My apologies Alpha Quinn, but I only do as my Alpha asks me to do." He wears a smirk as he says this and a few of his men chuckle.

I turn my back on them and face Gavin, sending him a wink as I start in on him, "Is this how your pack treats their allies, Gavin? What makes your Alpha think that I will submit to him? He is not my Alpha, and I don't answer to anyone!" I start to pace as I continue,"To think that I was starting to like you! Were you playing me this whole time?".

"Please Quinn, don't be so dramatic, and no, I'm not playing you, but I do feel as though my father has a say in this. He is only looking out for the welfare of his lost pack members."

I have to admit that Gavin is a very good actor. He acts as though he's bored as he talks to me and he's trying to appease the new female Alpha. We want to make Blue River's warriors believe that he is with them. The last thing we need is Daniel thinking his son has changed sides.

As soon as I get the sign from Spencer that everything has been taken care of, I continue, "Like I said, I don't bow for any other Alpha, and I have work to be done. I'm heading back," I glance at the head scout "If you want to send one or two of you men with me, so be it, but I'm leaving now." Without another word, I let Tala out and we make a mad dash for home. My men follow as well as a few of Blue River's men, but Gavin stays behind to wait for his father.

'All twelve are in the safe room?' I mind link my best friend.

'Yes. I explained the situation to them, and they were happy to hide. Tommy just got back with Gavin's vehicle as well...' she stops talking like she has more to say, and yet doesn't.

'What else is there?

'Erm, well... Summer gave me a spray. She told me to spray it around the house to help eliminate their scent. She said that it's the same as what Jasper would use to cover his scent when needed. 'I mean, it's a good idea, but why does Summer have some?'

'She's the one that always made it for him. She's into medicine, I guess.' Cici explains the only way she can.

'Hm, I will have to talk to her about it further, especially with these attacks that are happening.' We are still about ten minutes out, 'Cici, grab a few other people and have them run through the house. We can't have a pack house with barely a scent in it, it will be too suspicious.'

'Oh! I didn't even think about that!'

'It's fine, we will be there soon.' Cutting off contact, I slow just a fraction, trying to give my friend more time to stink up the house. "Alpha Daniel, welcome to Dark Moon. Can I get you anything to drink?" I ask the man that just entered my office with his son. "Alpha Quinn, nice to see you again. Thank you, but I won't take up too much of your time." He states grumpily.

I want to roll my eyes at him, but I hold myself back, "I'm sorry I couldn't stay to wait for your arrival, but as you can see," I spread my hands towards the desk that I made a mess of before he arrived, "I've got quite a lot on my plate, plus the new issue that arose with the dead she wolf."

"Yes, yes, it's a sad thing, isn't it? All these poor she-wolves."

He says this with not an ounce of sympathy to his voice, making me cringe, "Alpha Daniel, please have a seat." I wait for him to take one of the two chairs in front of my desk, "Your man said that you wanted to meet with me, but never said what it was about." I fold my hands on top of my desk in front of me to wait for his reply.

"Yes, well, I didn't really want him talking about pack business with others, so I figured I'd come myself. I've had a few members who stole from me and are now wanted. I believe they may me holding females and a few pups hostage as well, seeing as they disappeared at the same time."

The gall of this fucker! I gasp, "Oh Goddess, are they dangerous?"

CHAPTER 45

"They very well could be." He replies as he nods.

"And your men said that they thought they were headed this way? They wouldn't have been the ones to kill those innocent girls, could they?

"I rightfully don't know, Alpha Quinn, but it's a huge possibility." His mouth goes in a tight line as though he's really thinking that Connor and the rest were killers and thieves.

"Goddess! I will make sure I put out the word to all my men, telling them that they are to capture them if they come to my territory. I will make sure they are delivered straight to you, Alpha Daniel."

He slaps his knee, "I knew you weren't just another pretty face, Alpha Quinn!" He glances behind him to where his son stands by the window and then turns back to me, "You know, my son needs a Luna, and you would make a fine one for him, once I pass the title down to him."

i sit back in my chair, and pretend that I'm having a nice conversation, Alpha to Alpha, "Does he now? Well," I lean back in and lower my voice, "I think he would make a pretty fine Alpha, and he would do a great job leading both our packs." I give him my best fake honest-to Goddess smile

The Alpha's eyes light up at the mention of his son running my pack as well, "So, you think it would be a good union as well?"

"Of course!" i look over at the Alpha heir, "He's so assertive and dominant; my people already listen when he talks. They love him."

"Yes, yes, I taught him well! So, when would you like the union to take place?" The greedy alpha asks.

scoff and then chuckle, "What's the rush? Besides, I can't hand over my pack until I see how he runs his own pack. I also can't mate someone without an Alpha title." I give my best wistful look towards Gavin, who, by the way, is covering his mouth and smirking at my performance.

"Well, maybe it's time my son and I had a serious talk about my retirement. It's time to let you young ones finally deal with all the chaos."

Gavin whips his head toward his father like he can't believe what he's saying, while I continue with my Grammy winning performance, "Oh Alpha Daniel, you are still in your prime, but hey, at least you will have more time to have a little fun here and there." I wink at him.

He throws his head back and laughs, "Oh Alpha Quinn, if only I was a young pup again, I would be all over you!"

"Well, I guess I have the next best thing - your son." I bite my lip and send a seductive glance Gavin's way.

The Alpha stands, "I think that's my cue to leave you two alone. I'm so glad we had this talk Quinn..you don't mind if I call you that, do you?"

I stand and smile, "Not at all, Daniel." I pronounce his name carefully.

"Good, good! I will be on my way then," He stops beside his son and leans in, but I can still hear everything, "Close the deal with her son, or else i'll tap that hot piece of ass."

T'll get right on it, father, literally." He smirks at Daniel.

The Alpha slaps his son on his shoulder and then exits the room, chuckling. I drop down into my chair with my hand placed over my nauseous stomach. Gavin shuts my office door and then comes over to me, pulling me out of my seat.

"I am so sorry you had to go through all that, Quinn." He crushes me against his chest. My shoulders begin to shake, I can't help it, I can't hold it in any longer, *Please don't cry over my father, he isn't worth it, sweetie."

I bring my head back, laughing my ass off, tears rolling down my face, but not from being sad, "Oh my Goddess, did your father really buy that hook, line, and sinker?" My hand goes back to my stomach, this time because it hurts from laughing, "I didn't think it would work, but he really is serious about you and I uniting, isn't he?"

"Yes, he is." Gavin says sternly.

I bellow out another chorus of laughter,

his mating with me really that hilarious to you?" Gavin asks with a sad chuckle.

I glance at him, and sober up a little, "No, of course not! I wasn't laughing at that part." I can really see that my words and laughter wounded him, "Hey," i grab his chin, "i thought we were going to take this slow so neither of us would get hurt?"

"Yes, we did." He agrees, but it doesn't make how I feel about you lessen."

"Oh."

* Just forget about it, Quinn. I don't want to let this meeting with my father cause any rift between us, okay. Gavin says as he gazes down into my face

"Yeah, okay." we just stand here in my office staring at one another, his green eyes to my blue ones, like we're having a staring contest, "Gavin?"

"Hm?"

"Will you please kiss me now?"
