The Alpha Who Saved Me

The Alpha Who Saved Me By Stacy Rush Chapter 21

Gavin continues to pull me until we are standing in front of a very intimidating older Alpha. I can see the strong resemblance between not only father and son, but brother and sister, and uncle and nephew. Only, there is a coldness to Alpha Daniel that makes me want to walk away from him.

“Father, I want to introduce you to Quinn, or should I say, Alpha Quinn.” Gavin smiles warmly at me, but it doesn’t warm me enough to want to stay in his father’s presence.

The cold Alpha stares down at me, and I get the feeling that he’s trying to undress me with his eyes, “Aren’t you a pretty little thing.”

“Father,” Gavin warns, earning him a glare from his father.

“What’s the matter, son, afraid I will steal her from you?” The Alpha smirks at his own heir.

I shift from foot to foot, extremely uncomfortable at where this conversation is going. I can see what Deke and Declan meant earlier when talking about Gavin’s father, but I’ve never felt this uncomfortable around the young Alpha heir.

I speak up before Gavin can make his father any angrier by talking against him, “Alpha Daniel, although it’s a huge compliment, I’m sure Luna Sara would have a say in the matter.” I try laughing it off as though the whole conversation was just a little joke.

The Alpha leans in “What she doesn’t know what hurt her.”

I whip my head back, “But it would hurt her. As your mate, she feels everything.”

He scoffs, “She’s used to it. She won’t know who the she-wolf is that is enjoying the Alpha’s cock, though. You won’t get any backlash.”

Not only do I want to find the nearest toilet and vomit, but I want to punch this Alpha’s light out, but I remain civil, Unfortunately for you, I’m waiting for my mate.” I chuckle taking the sting out of my words.

He slaps his son on the shoulder, “Looks like neither one of us are going to get a piece of that tight **.” He bellows with laughter after he says his crude words.

“Quinn is a good friend, Father, please don’t chase her away with your flirting.” I can tell that Gavin is **, but he tries making light of the conversation, so as not to ***the Alpha off.

“Oh, Gavin! Weren’t you going to introduce me to the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack?” I’m trying to give him a way out, and I know he knows the other Alpha because he spent half the night of my birthday party talking with him.

Thank Goddess he catches on, “Oh, Goddess, yes! My apologies, Quinn.” He turns to his father, “Excuse us, I mustn’t keep the lady waiting.”

His father waves us off as he turns to start a conversation with another guest. I keep my hold on the young Alpha because I’m shaking in anger too much at the moment. The audacity of Alpha Daniel. I give Gavin a sideways glance to see if I can see any of his father’s attitude in him, but all I see is a kind and friendly male, who has shown me nothing but respect.

“I have to apologize for my father’s behavior. I’ve never seen him act like that with a female of your standing before. Gavin says sheepishly.

“So, he talks to regular she-wolves like that?” i furrow my brows.

*Unfortunately, yes. My father cannot remain faithful to his mate.”

“Are you worried that you will be like that too?” I ask.

“No! I may not have waited for my mate before taking a female to my bed, but I’m nothing like him.”

“i see.”

“Please, don’t take offense to my father’s ramblings. He’s an old Alpha who knows that his time is almost up. He’s been stalling on passing the title down to me because he isn’t ready to face the next step in his journey.” Gavin explains to me, but it’s no excuse to be crude in my eyes, but I let the topic drop.

I keep peeking over at Declan, and sure enough, Lila continues to hang on his arm. He thinks I don’t notice how perturbed he is to have the she-wolf hanging on him, but I do. I want to grin every time he catches me looking his way and he smiles down at the new Luna. It’s cute that he’s trying to make me jealous, but it’s irritating that he would think I would fall for his little act. The fact that I am jealous has nothing to do with his act, but the fact that another female is touching him.

“You need to stop. Tala. He isn’t our mate, so there is no reason to press the jealousy emotion on me.’ I lecture my wolf.

*As much as I would love to say that it’s me pushing it, I can’t take that credit.” Tala replies. “Your jealousy is all you. I’ve been keeping my thoughts to myself.”

I scrunch my forehead, ‘Seriously?’

“Yep, looks like Quinn has a crush on the Alpha-.’ Tala teases.

‘Please, we already knew that.’ I roll my eyes.

“Well, you need to decide what we are going to do now, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome is now totally off limits.’

I sigh heavily, ‘I know, Tala. Do you mind not rubbing it in?” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sorry, I’m just as bummed as you. Duke and I have such a great connection. I’m going to miss his Alpha dominance that he always seems to speak to me with.’

Oh really?” I ask chuckling.

‘Oh yes, Duke is very dominant, and I’m surprised that Declan isn’t the same way.’

I shrug, ‘Oh well, I guess I won’t be missing out on anything then.’

‘I hope our mate isn’t a pansy ass, whoever they are.’ Tala snorts, ‘I’m going to need someone to put me in my place when I get a little out of hand.’ I get the mental image of my wolf wiggling her brows at me and I shake my head while rolling my eyes.

I turn my attention back to Gavin who is just ending a conversation with a friend of his. He smiles at me, “Sorry for the delay, Mitch and I went to Alpha training together.” He nods to the male who is walking away from us.

*No problem at all, but will you excuse me while I go to the ladies’ room? I will find you when I come back out.” I inform him.

“Sure, I need to go find mother quick, but then I can meet you right back here.” Gavin winks at me before walking away.

Declan and Lila are now over by the back door to the pack house, so I walk around to the front to avoid that situation. I meet Cici coming out of the bathroom that I’m heading towards and so I call out to her.

“Oh, Quinn! I was just going to come find you. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? We could have been each other’s dates. My friend chuckles.

“I wasn’t sure until last minute, and you were already gone.”

“How are you holding up? Can you believe that **? Thinking that Alpha was going to wed her!” Cici snickers. “I seriously want whatever Lila is smoking. That’s got to be some good **!”

I shrug, “I don’t even try to figure that she-wolf out. It would hurt my brain too much.”

“Well, how long are you staying?” She asks me.

“Oh, I think I will be taking off shortly. What about you?”

“My parents want me to stay for supper because my aunt and uncle are here visiting. Carter is going to drive me over to Dark Moon later.”

“Okay, I’ll probably get some training in when I get back anyway.”

“Yeah, get that **out of your system by the time I get back. I’m thinking tonight is going to be a good night to have us some drinks up in your suite.” Cici always seems to know when I need a little bit of girl time and makes sure that she is always ready for it.

“Sounds good,” I give her a hug, “I’m going to use the bathroom and then go and say my goodbyes.”

“Okie dokie, I will see you at home later.”

I watch my friend walk down the hall towards the back of the house as I enter the bathroom. I’m able to relieve myself and wash my hands, but when I go to leave, I feel a pinch in the back of my neck, and everything goes black.
