The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 118
It can't be true; I don't want to believe it! Although, it does explain a lot of things, like why I'm as fast as I am, and as strong as I
am. I haven't even hit twenty yet, and that's when my full powers will kick in. Oh, my God, I'm going to have powers! I don't know
how to handle any kind of power, and it's not like I have my mother or anyone else around to help show me...ugh!
'Wait a minute, Tala,' I pause briefly, 'Wouldn't Ash be the last Dire wolf?'
My wolf chuckles, 'Technically, yes, and he will come into his wolf at the age of twenty as well, but the legend speaks of the last
Dire she-wolf. I think they left that specific part out so it would be harder to find you, knowing the danger you would be in.
Legends aren't always clear, but they get the important part out and that is all that matters. If you really read into the legend, it
does say that the last Dire wolf will be fated to an Alpha, and even though a she- wolf could be an Alpha now, during the time the
legend was created, it was unheard of. So, it pretty much tells you there, that the last Dire is female.'
'So, Ash is the first of the next generation?' I ask, trying to understand it all.
'Yes and no. Our little Ash is the last of this line and the first of the next generation, but he's not going to be the first powerful
because he was not conceived with the mate that the Goddess has chosen for you. He will have powers, but they won't be as
strong as our next pup.' She explains.
'I see,' taking everything she is telling me, in, 'Wait a minute...back the fuck up. Are you telling me that we still have a fated
mate?'
My wolf sighs, 'Yes, Quinn. Why do you think I was so against mating with Gavin and Mace. I loved them too, but I knew they
weren't our true mates.'
'Why didn't you tell me?' I'm pissed now, not that I would change. any of my decisions, but still.
Csuchers
'The Goddess told me not to interfere. She told me that you were on the right track, so even though I didn't understand it,
knowing that they weren't our fated mate, I wasn't going to question the Goddess.' I can feel the confusion coming from Tala, so I
know she is being truthful with me.
'So, Gavin and I were supposed to mate and have a son.' I say more to myself.

'And he was always meant to die by his sire's hand.' Tala confirms, 'Our Ash was meant to be born, so don't ever think he was a
mistake, Quinn. The Goddess has plans for him as well.'
'Plans or not, I would never think that Ash was a mistake!' I hiss at my wolf, and she smiles.
'I know you wouldn't, but I had to say it regardless.' Tala chuckles:
'So, now I have to wait until my birthday, and I will finally find my fated mate. What if I'm not ready, Tala? I still miss and love
Gavin so much!'
'We will always miss and love him, and our mate will understand that, I promise."
'I need to run, Tala...'
'Then let's run...'
After letting Cam know that I'm needing a couple of warriors to come with me, but to keep their distance, I let Spence know that I'
m going for a run before making my way to the tree line and undressing. There is a slight chill to the air this morning as I fold my
clothes and stack them neatly by a tree. In no time at all, I'm shifting and letting Tala take over. I never realized how big my wolf
has grown, but I pay attention now, as we shift, and I watch as the distance from my head to the ground grows bigger.
Realizing what I would look like to others and knowing that Gray Skies have eyes on my pack, I apologize to Tala and shift back.
I can't put myself in danger; Ash still needs me, 'Once Gray Skies is taking care of, then we can shift.' I explain to her.
'I understand, Quinn. I can wait.' I can sense the sadness in my wolf, but I know that she wouldn't want to put ourselves in
jeopardy either.
I get dressed once more and link the warriors letting them know that I'm not going for a run, but that I am heading to Storm River
territory. I need to talk to Declan in person about this. I need to know how he knew, because I know that he already knew what I
was. So, waiting until I had a set of warriors in another car to follow me, I head out of my territory and straight into Declan's.
Even though border patrol will link Declan to let him know that I'm coming through, I send him a text before I leave. I had thought
about bringing Ash with me, but with the state my mind is in, I don' t think it would be a good idea. Besides, with Gray Skies still
hanging around, I don't want to put my son in danger. If they are coming for me because I'm a Dire wolf, then they will come after
him as well. They probably already know that I have a son.
As I pull up to Storm River's pack house, Declan is just coming out.

the door, giving me his smile that I love. A tingle starts and I have to lecture myself to stop because we still have a mate out there
somewhere. I sit a moment just staring at him, and I think he understands because he just stands there with a smile, waiting for
me to come to him. Could he be...? No, I'm not lucky enough to have him as my mate and I don't want to get my hopes up by
thinking he is, just to have them dashed when it turns out that he isn't.
Letting out a big sigh, I climb out of my car and walk up the steps to him. I stop right in front of his form and gaze up at him,
neither one of us saying anything right away. He's the one to break the silence first.
"So, I take it you read the letter."
I nod.
"And it said that you're the last?"
I shake my head this time.
He stares back at me in confusion, "It didn't say that you are a Dire?"
"No. It told me to look in my mother's secret safe. That's where I found out what I am."
"How do you feel about it?" He asks, sticking his hands in his pants pockets.
"I'm not sure. Confused, nervous, maybe a little scared." I have to be honest with him, "I don't know what to do or where to go
from here, Declan."
He pulls me into his chest, "I'm here for you, Quinn. I won't let you go through this alone."

"How did you know, Declan?" I ask as I wrap my arms around his waist.
I hear him sigh, "Gavin told me. He asked me to take care of both you and Ash and that he had found out that you are a Dire."
I nod my head against his chest, "The items in the safe all scented of Gavin, so I know he had found the information at some
point."

"He didn't do it for any other reason than that he wanted to keep you safe," Declan states, "He didn't go into specifics, but I knew
he was worried about you, especially after watching you with Tiffany."
"That's why he was so adamant about me keeping my speed and strength to myself, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, I think he had his suspicions at that time, but wasn't for sure yet.” Declan pulls away but holds onto my shoulders as he
gazes down at me, "I'm not going to let you go through this alone."
I smile, but it's a bit on the sad side, "Thank you. Even if it is only until I find my fated mate, it still means a lot."
Surprisingly, he grins, "Oh, I'm pretty sure I will still be here for you. and watching out for you once you find your mate."
I apologize for this chapter being so late and that there is only one. It's my hubby's b-day weekend and I've barely had time to get
everything done, but I will be posting 1 for sure, possibly 2 chapters tomorrow for you! Hope you enjoyed this chapter...and
thanks for reading! =)
