The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 54

'The killer has struck again!' Echoes through my head as I head toward the western border. It's the border that I share with Alpha Dominik from the Dark Shadows pack. I've already called and informed him of the findings in case he is missing any pack members. This time, it isn't just a female, but a male as well.

put a call into Declan also since the last one was found on his territory. After I had arrived at the location, though, I thought it would be best if I called Gavin to come check it out, because not only does the she- wolf have auburn hair like mine, but the male has the same coloring as Gavin. Whoever is doing this is trying to tell us something and I just can't process what it is exactly.

The killer used different methods on each. The male was just a quick kill, with his heart torn from his chest. The heart is actually placed onto of the she-wolf's chest, above her own. Once again, the woman was sexually assaulted first and clawed all up.

"What the fuck?" It's Declan's voice that is heard as he walks up to the scene.

"Yeah, what the fuck is right!" I say walking around carefully as I watch for any kind of clue, "This fucker is on my last nerve, and I can't wait until we catch them!

"Quinn, you need to keep protection on yourself. This is the third she-wolf that resembles you, and now a male that resembles my cousin. You can no longer deny that this is all about you."

"ugh, I know!" I begin to pace back and forth as I bite my thumb nail, "How the fuck is he getting by security and patrol?"

"I'm not sure but I think it's time that we take a good look at all the security footage and see if there is anything that we can find. Maybe we missed something the first two times." Declan suggests, which I think is a good idea.

"Hey," Gavin comes walking up, "Oh, wow! Is that supposed to be me?" He asks, grimacing, as he observes the male closely.

"Yeah, I guess so. I think someone found out that we are dating." I reply dryly.

"Wait a minute," Gavin gets our attention, "I've seen this guy before. If I remember correctly, he was one of the warrior's that came to help rescue you from Desert Sand. I'm not for sure which pack he was from though, and I don't know anything about the she-wolf."

"That doesn't really help much, now does it?" Declan scoffs.

"All I'm saying is that I've seen him, so don't be a dick." Gavin scowls.

"Alright, that's enough! We don't have time to fight amongst ourselves when we need to be working together on this!" I growl at both males.

"You're right, I'm sorry." Gavin is the first to apologize, and then Declan follows.

"Yeah, sorry. Old habits die hard." Declan smirks.

*Alpha, Alpha Dominik is approaching.' One of my men warn.

I watch for the Alpha's vehicle to pull off to the side of the road. This is the only border that has an actual road splitting the territories and we aren't far from the road at all. The Dark Shadow's Alpha is a handsome man who is in his mid-thirties. His Luna is very sweet, and their two children are adorable, but the Alpha, he isn't one who messes around. He can be very kind, or he can be very heartless. Watching him walk toward us, makes me want to shrink back, because he does not look happy at all.

We had just covered the bodies up right before he got here, so he can't see them at the moment. Stopping right in front of the three of us, he runs his hand over his face, "My head warrior's brother never came back last night after taking his mate to a movie. My head warrior and his mate were pup sitting their one-year-old for them. It was their first date since having their pup." He states this as if he is sure that this couple are the people that he is talking about. "May 1?" He asks, wanting to lift the sheets.

I nod. Deep down I know it's the couple that he speaks of and now I'm waiting for the confirmation. I don't have to wait long, though. He curses a second later and starts kicking at the ground. My own hands ball into fists at the anger that's building inside of me. This fucker has turned an innocent child into an orphan for what? Some vendettas against me? What the fuck have I done to anyone that would cause them to do these horrific actions?

I turn and start walking away, but the moment my name is called, I let Tala out and take off. I need to let off this steam that's building inside of me because I'm about to explode and I don't want to take it out on anyone else but who I should be taking it out on.

Tala's paws pound the earth as she runs at record speed. Not sure on where we are going, I just let her take the lead. I hear another set of paws, but I know we aren't in danger because the scent is one that I know well. Mace lets us run without trying to stop us, but he remains behind us. I should have known that they wouldn't let me go by myself, not with a killer who is apparently out for my blood, on the loose, but at least I am being allowed to do what I need to do to at the moment.

Tala huffs and puffs after almost an hour of running full speed around Dark Moon's border. She was hoping to get a whiff or something, anything, that could possibly lead to the psycho who has become more than a thorn in our side. They are a hidden enemy, and that's one of the worst kind. Not knowing who or why they are doing what they are doing makes every moment a dangerous one. I'm all for living life and not being scared, but I'm not going to lie, I'm getting there.

Tala stops short and then transforms without even warning me. Apparently, she's done for now as she takes her spot in her little corner and curls up, I feel the exhaustion that has taken hold after what my wolf just put us through, but it's just in body, my mental state is fine.

Mace practically ran into us when Tala stopped the way she did. I'm still on the ground on all fours when a wet nose nuzzles my neck. Mace's dark brown fur is soft as it rubs against my bare flesh. I lay down and let him kiss me the only way he can when in wolf form, by licking. He isn't perverted about it, that's not how our kind are; we either mate while both in human form or when we are both in wolf form, but never in wolf and human form. At least that is what the normal shifters do, but I know that it has been known to happen. That isn't what this is, though. Mace just wants to console me as well, but soon he's letting Gavin take over as he transforms back to human.

Strong arms wrap around me, and we just sit here in the silence of the forest. Gavin doesn't push, he never has, and that's what I like about him. No words are needed between us when one of us are hurting o upset. It's almost like an unspoken rule that we are just here for the other person. He kisses my shoulder a few times but it's only for comfort, and I'm grateful that he is here with me.

The sun is beginning to set, and I know we shouldn't be gone too much longer or else Declan will send a search party out for us. Leaving a brief kiss on Gavin's soft lips, I smile warmly at him, "I'm ready." He nods and then Mace and Tala take over once more as we head back.

NNNNNNNNN

It is after seven o'clock by the time everyone leaves, and it's just me and Gavin. He offers to go get the takeout that he promised, and I soak in a bath while he is gone. When he returns, I decide to stay in the Alpha suite, so we can have our privacy because I'm not in the mood to be around others at the moment.

"So you going to make me beg you to tell me about your talk with Declan yesterday?" I pout playfully.

"Oh yes, I honestly forgot about that, but the thought of you begging on your knees turns me on." He wiggles his brows, earning him a slap on the arm.

"I said nothing about getting on my knees-again." I smirk as I put a mouthful of orange chicken and rice into my mouth. He rubs his crotch, and both my brows hike up, "Issues? I'd get that looked at if I were you." I hold back the chuckle that I so want to let loose.

"Ha ha, I'm glad you can make light of the state you put me in every time we are together.

"Well, maybe if you're a good boy and answer all of my questions, I will help you with your problem." I cock a brow and smile half ass.

"You're mean..."

"And you're stalling, now spill."

*Fine," taking a bite of his lo mien, he takes his time with chewing, making me chuckle and shake my head. He makes a show of swallowing and then taking a drink before continuing, "The talk went pretty good."

i toss a decorative pillow at him, "Smartass! You better start talking or no more nookie for you!"

Mace comes forward right away, "Gavin told Declan the real story about his past, on what his father did, and not him like Daniel led Declan to believe. He then proceeded to tell him about the new members and what they all told you, including how he now has a baby brother from his father raping Demi. They then talked a little about their feelings for you and came to an agreement that if Gavin hurts you, then Declan has the go ahead to end him." He takes a huge breath and then exhales before letting Gavin come back.

I bust out laughing at this point while Gavin just sits there dazed, trying to figure out what the hell just happened, "Apparently, Mace didn't like the idea of you not getting any nookie, so he spilled everything to me in a very timely manner.". I cover my mouth, but it doesn't muffle the chuckle that comes out.

Gavin rolls his eyes, "My wolf is such a horn dog, I swear!"

"I thought it was very adorable and he is a great wing man for you. He wanted to make sure you got lucky is all."

"No, he wanted to make sure that We got lucky..."

I shrug, "I guess he's smarter than his human counterpart then." i take a drink and no sooner do I swallow, I'm being tackled to the floor.

"Oh really? Maybe you should just date my wolf then."

* Maybe I should..."

"Hm, but can he do this?" He begins to suck on my neck, "Or this?" His hand slips into my tank top and massages my breast, "What about this?" Sliding his hand all the way down, he cups my sex and starts kneading me with the heal of his hand."

"Mm, you might have a good point." i bite my lip and start moving my hips against his hand.

"Admit it, Quinn," he whispers into my ear, "You want my cock."

"I'm not afraid to admit anything." I look him straight in his green orbs. 1. Want. Your. Cock."

How can you not like Gavin? He's so sweet and thoughtful... Happy Saturday! =D
