CHAPTER 111
Declan
I wake up on the couch in the inner office to my room and Quinn isn't anywhere around. I can still faintly smell her scent, so I
snuggle back into my cocoon, only to be bothered by Carter telling me that he has the video footage, and that Quinn is outside
talking with the Elders. He also warns me that he is in the process of escorting Lila outside to see the Elders.
I groan. As much as I don't want to see the bitch or the Elders, my wolf and I want to be around Quinn, and I can't leave her
down there to deal with that shit show. I don't bother getting dressed as I leave my room and head downstairs. When I move
towards the front door, I can hear Lila's annoying voice arguing with who, I don' t know, and I don't care.
Using my command I roar, "ENOUGH!"
Once I'm able to unclench my jaw, I instruct Carter to escort Lila to the cells, and I bring the Elders and Quinn to my office to play
the video for them to see. Gasps go all around, and even though Quinn already knew, she was still one to gasp in surprise.
"This is what I've been dealing with ever since you made me take this psycho as my Luna!" I scowl, not really caring that they are
the Elders.
"She put the performance drugs in the whole pot?" Quinn asks incredulously, "Did anybody else complain?"
I chuckle, "It's not really something us guys really go around talking about, Luna Quinn, but I believe it gets dumped before.
anybody else drinks any, thank the Goddess."
"We are truly sorry about this, and we will let you handle it how you see fit, but unfortunately, our hands are tied." The Elder really
does look sorry for me, "I will speak with the others, but I'm afraid that unless your fated mate comes around, you're stuck with
her."
"Maybe you should have kept it in your pants." The other Elder mumbles under his breath, but we are wolves, our senses are
very entuned.
"Excuse me?" I raise my voice, "Have you not slept around yourself? In fact, does your chosen mate know that you are sleeping
with your receptionist?"

Quinn's eyes go wide as I talk to this Elder with so much disrespect, but he deserves it if you ask me. The Elder just straightens
his back and walks out, leaving the rest of us in an awkward silence. I raise my brow at the other Elder.
"You have to understand Alpha Declan, we only follow the laws." The older man states.
"I understand that part, but did they teach you how to be rude while teaching you all in Elder school?" I ask sarcastically.
The Elder chuckles, "There is no such thing as Elder school, but maybe there should be, heh?" he sobers up a moment later,
"May I suggest something?"
"By all means, suggest away." I respond dryly.

"Well, I just thought that since she will be held for a while, maybe it would be best that you put her somewhere else..."
"I've tried a more luxury cell for her, and she's continued with her conniving ways. She spends more time in the cells than she
does outside of them; she never learns." I run my hand over my face, "I honestly don't know what to do with her."
"I think The Center would be a good place for her. I mean, she does seem a little off her rocker after all." The Elder states.
"You're suggesting that I put a Luna in a psychiatric center? Won't that be frowned upon?"
He shrugs, "It's been done before, mainly after their Alpha has passed and they tend to lose it a little," he glances over at Quinn
briefly, and my hackles rise because I know what he's thinking, "All I'm saying is that maybe it will help with her attitude and her
conniving ways."
"It does seem like a good idea, Alpha Declan." Quinn speaks up with her own thoughts.
"Hm, well, you have certainly given me something to think about. I will make a decision by tomorrow and email you with it." I
shake the Elder's hand, indicating that I'm done with this meeting.
"Yes, well, I'm glad I could be of help. I'm not a huge fan of this law, but until it can be changed, I must abide by it as I said." The
Elder turns and walks out, leaving me alone with just Quinn in the room with me.
The room is silent following he Elder's departure, and I take the time to inhale the sweet scent of apples with a hint of cinnamon,
'Is her scent getting stronger?' I ask Duke.
'Now that we know that she is our mate, it will be stronger, as well as the pull of the bond, but we must be careful not to let her
know.' My wolf replies.

'Why is it so detrimental that she does not know that we are her mate?' I'm not understanding what it is about the whole secrecy
thing.
'If she were a regular she-wolf, it wouldn't matter," Duke explains, "But she isn't. Do you not remember what the legend states?'
'Which part?'
'Good Goddess, all you do is think with your dick, don't you?' Duke chuckles, 'This isn't about us just being mates, this is about
so much more. Quinn is the last of the Dire wolves...'
'Technically, Asher is now the last one.' I correct him.
'Yes, well, he wasn't supposed to be, but it doesn't matter because what everyone forgets or leaves out when mentioning the last
of the Dire wolves, it is talking about the last female. She is fated to the strongest Alpha of all packs who has a unique bloodline.
Your bloodline, Declan.'
'Okay, but we already established that she is our mate. What is your point exactly?'
My wolf rolls his eyes at me and sighs, 'You are so lucky that you are good-looking because I definitely question your smarts at
times, hehehehehe.'
'Just get on with it.' I growl at him.
My wolf stops and stands tall, 'Quinn is your future Queen, and you are her King. The two of you will rule over all wolf shifters,

but there will be hard times ahead, before the peace. We have to keep her safe until the two of you can unite.'
'That's only a little over two months, that shouldn't be an issue.' I reply.
'Let's hope not.' Duke says warily.
"Are you and Duke done talking?" Quinn giggles as she draws my attention back to her.
"Uh, yeah, sorry about that." Before I can say anything else, her arms come around my waist and mine automatically wrap
around her.
"I'm so happy that you chose to come out and not hide away," her voice is muffled against my chest, but I can understand her
perfectly, "I know it isn't easy, but the best thing that you can do for yourself is resume your life. You will get through this, just likeFollow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

I have, and you will come out stronger because of it."
I stick my nose in her hair and inhale her delicious scent, "Thank you for being here with me, Quinn,
"I wouldn't be anywhere else." She smiles as she looks up at me and all I want to do is kiss the shit out of her, but I know she
isn't ready for any of that yet, not without the mate bond, so I will wait.
I frown a little when she pulls away and takes a seat on the couch in my office, "So what do you think you're going to do with
her?" She asks.
Sighing heavily, I drop down beside her and lean my head back against the back of the couch, "I'm not really sure. I would love
nothing more than to stick her in that place and be rid of her, but I don't know if I can trust her not to escape." I turn my head
towards my beautiful mate, "She's more conniving than she is crazy, she will find a way to break out of there. I don't want to give
her the chance to escape and not know where she is or who she will go after."
Quinn studies me a moment, "You're worried that she will come after me."
"Yes
Her grin is smug, "You think I'm scared of a little crazy? Tala will eat her for breakfast!"
laugh and shake my head back and forth.
"You laugh," she says, "but I'm telling you that I'm dreading the day that I ever go against Lila, because Tala is serious about
eating her insides!" She gives a little quiver, "I swear my wolf is a cannibal."
I really bellow with laughter now, which makes her laugh as well, "Nah, Tala is beautiful and she's one tough cookie. I'd fight.
alongside her any day."
I'm not sure what part of my sentence did it, but Quinn sobers up quick and stands, "I better get back to Ash. I'm so glad that you
are doing better. Please don't go back to your room once I leave."
I curse myself out for chasing her away, even though I'm not sure what it was that I said that made her want to leave. I smile with
a bit of sadness, "I hate to see you go, but I understand. Thank you again, for everything." I give her a quick, friendly hug, "As for
not going to my room, I'm afraid I can't promise you that. I'm in need of another shower and a proper outfit."

She slaps me playfully, "You're such a smartass!" Her expression saddens and I know exactly why. I used to lose count as to
how many times she would say that same saying to my cousin.
I pull her to me once again and hold her tight, "It's okay, I miss him too.
Hm, do you think they should lock her away or keep her close? Thanks for reading peeps...I hope you all have an amazing day!
