The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 128

Declan

To be honest, I’ve practically forgotten about the Alpha still sitting in the cells. With everything going on, he’s the last thing on my mind, but he should have been taken care of a long time ago. I want Quinn to decide his fate since she is the one that he came after. Now, we have a bigger mess to worry about.

Seriously, though, these are his pack members that turned tail and ran the moment they realized they were outnumbered. Do they really think that teaming up with rogues is going to make it any better? They are still outnumbered, and as soon as they realize that they are surrounded, they will see that. Carter has already linked me informing me that they are in place, far enough where they can’t be scented, but close enough that none of the enemy will be leaving alive if they don’t surrender.

Duke is pawing at the surface, wanting out again but I keep telling him that he needs to be patient. I step out of the protection of Quinn’s warriors and motion for one of the enemy wolves to shift. When he doesn’t, I let out my Alpha aura, giving the wolf no choice other than to suffer unless he submits.

Finally, the wolf shifts and comes forward, trying to fight the command as much as he can, “Why are you here, and why did you bring rogues with you?”

He straightens his back, but the moment he opens his mouth, I can hear the bit of fear in his voice, “We are here for our Alpha. You will release him, or you will have another fight on your hands. These rogues are worst of the worst and will not hesitate to take all of you out.”

I chuckle and turn towards the warriors behind me, “Do you hear that? They are the worst of the worst!” The warrior’s wolves shake with laughter. Turning back to the enemy, I wipe all signs of humor from my face, “Your Alpha made a grave mistake by attacking the Dark Moon pack. He is lucky that he still has his life… for now. He will not have his freedom just so he can turn around and try to attack again. Your

pack has been wreaking havoc for a very long time, killing innocent packs all because of a legend of a Dire wolf!”

“It’s an abomination and needs to be put down!” The male sneers and a few of his pack members paw at the ground in agreement.

“Says who? Your Alpha? What gives him or anybody else the right to judge any wolf that way? We are all the Goddess Selene’s children, and if anything, they were here first. The Dire wolves, if there are any left, have more right to be here than we do!”

“She will destroy us all!”

“I’m not sure who you are referring to, but have you stopped to think that if the legend is true, that the Dire wolf will make everything right once again? Supposedly, the Dire and their mate will rule over all wolves and bring peace back to us all.”

“That’s just it, they will rule all of us! We don’t want to be ruled by anybody.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I scoff, “You have an Alpha, don’t you?” I shrug, “Well, you used to have one anyway. You allowed yourselves to be ruled by him, who has led you all to take the lives of innocents, and yet you are hunting the one wolf that can put a stop to it all!”

The wolf is ignorant and refuses to listen, so whatever happens next will be on him, “Leave now and we will let you all live. Go back to your pack and choose a new Alpha because the old one will not be returning.”

The wolf decides to sign his death warrant as he snarls and then shifts back into his wolf as he lunges at me. Duke is much faster as he shifts and goes straight the other wolf’s jugular; he never stood a chance with my wolf being twice the size of his. Duke spits out the portion of the neck that he rips out and we stand here snarling, daring for the next wolf to come at us.

Apparently, the rogues were waiting for something like this to happen as they all leap forward, growling. I link my Beta, giving him. the green light at the same time my wolf clashes with another. This wolf is a rogue and almost as big as Duke, but the key word here is almost. It takes a little longer than the first, but I leave the wolf for dead and move on to the next.

Once the enemy realizes that there are a lot more wolves than there were before, they begin to back off. At least the Gray Skies pack wolves do. The rogues are too dumb, or they just don’t care. The area is covered in blood and dead wolves, but we keep at it. When I notice a rogue heading toward Spencer as he’s fighting another, Duke speeds across the ground and jumps just as the rogue goes to take a bite out of the Beta’s Flank. It’s like my last fight all over again, only this time, I don’t let the enemy get a taste of Quinn’s Beta.

Spencer rips the heart out of the wolf he’s fighting just as the one that I take out drops to the ground with his jaw hanging limply from me ripping it apart. We nod at each other and then turn back to the fighting. It doesn’t take long before the last of the rogues. are dead and my warriors have rounded up the rest of the enemy pack. There are only twelve of them left alive after the fight, and so we bring them back to the cells to await their punishment.

Quinn is pacing back and forth on the front porch as I come

through the tree line. Instead of shifting back to my human form, I walk right up the steps to the front porch and stop in front of her. I’ m annoyed that she is even outside. She should be in the safe room with the others, but what do I expect, she’s never listened very well.

“Oh, thank G*d!” She throws her arms around Duke’s huge neck and rubs her face in our fur, “I hate not having a link to you. I have to rely on others to tell me that you are okay.” Duke licks up the side of Quinn’s face, making her giggle at first, until she realizes that he’s left behind a whole lot of saliva, “Ugh, seriously, Duke?” She wipes all the excess off, “I love your kisses, but come on, that was done

on purpose!” She tries scowling at us, so he licks her once more, right up the front of her face and then his body shakes in laughter.

I’m laughing too hard myself to lecture him, but I do make him give me back control, and I’m still laughing as I change back to my human form. I grab a pair of shorts from the cupboard kept on the front porch and after throwing them on, I bring her into my chest.

“Your wolf is a disgusting dog sometimes!” She chastises jokingly.

“That he is, but he loves you very much.”

“Pfft, he’s got a funny way of showing it!” She finishes wiping the drool from her face, “Cam said that it was the Gray Skies pack again, that they came back for their Alpha and brought rogues with them,” sweeping her eyes over me, she continues, “by the looks of it, there was some form of fighting, but I didn’t feel any bonds. break, so that’s good.”

“Yeah, the f*ckers thought they could take us. Oh, by the way, you have twelve more prisoners in your cells. You will have to figure out what to do about them soon.”

Dividing into pages now

“Why me?”

“Because they came after you, Quinn. This is your pack; you are in charge of everything. I will stand by your side, but it’s your

decision.”

“Ugh, see! I don’t even want this responsibility! How am I supposed to rule a whole species?”

“How about you start with something really simple first.”

“Like what?”

“Like showering with your man and making sure he’s squeaky clean!” She yelps as I lift her up and over my shoulder and take two stairs at a time, all the way up to the Alpha suite.
