CHAPTER 121
Tingles spread through my body the longer we kiss, and I'm becoming light-headed, not in a bad way, but like a drug-induced
one; I'm feeling high as Declan deepens the kiss. I remember this from so long ago. That's when we thought we could be
together, before everything turned to shit. I allow myself a few more minutes of having his lips on mine, because it's been so
long, but then I'm reluctantly pulling aways slowly.
I snort as soon as I see the pout on the grown Alpha's face, "I wasn't done with my reward." He sounds like such a child, but I
find it cute.
"Let's get you to the hospital first, and get your leg taken care of, then maybe I'll give you another one." I chastise him jokingly
and he smiles goofily, but then his eyes roll, and he passes out.
"Out shit! Declan, wake up, please!" I know he's losing too much. blood, so I do the first thing that I think of and bite into my wrist,
shoving it at his mouth, "Come on, Dec, please swallow. I need you to swallow for me...please!" I'm becoming frantic, because I
can hear his heart starting to slow. It's no longer in sync with mine. Tilting his head back a little more, I watch him try to swallow
and a little bit goes down.
"That's it, Dec, keep swallowing. Drink it all down for me." I have to bite into my wrist again because I've already healed.
Finally, Dr. Sands is beside me with a stretcher and we both lift him up onto it. I glance back to make sure that the other wolf is in
fact dead, and then I run alongside the stretcher, not caring that I'm still naked. I bite my wrist once more before bringing it back
to his mouth, He is slowly swallowing it down and that's all I can ask for.
I link Cici, letting her know what's going on and to let Amelia know, so she can link Carter, informing Declan's Beta that their
Alpha is down.
"You did good with his leg, Luna." Dr. Sands praises.
"I don't know about that, I'm not a nurse, I just did the first thing that came to me because he's got a chunk of leg hanging by skin
only."
"The fact that you put it back into place and wrapped it was the right call," he says, "I will clean it out when we get inside before I
A nurse opens the doors for us, and we run through them. I'm holding on to the gurney as the doctor zooms down the halls, but
then tries stopping me from going into the operating room. I stand my ground, though.
"I'm not leaving, Doc, so give me some fucking scrubs and I'll wash in. I won't touch anything, but I'm not leaving his side until he
wakes up!"
"Fine, have it your way, Luna. Nurse!" he calls out, "Get the Luna some scrubs, will you?"
Over two hours later, I'm sitting in a chair with my head on the bed, resting my eyes when I feel a hand run through my hair. I
smile and then look up and meet a pair of chocolate brown eyes. How can a man be injured in a war, go into surgery, and still
wake up looking hot as fuck? That's this Alpha for you.
"Hey, you're awake. The doctor wasn't sure how long you would be out for." I tell him as I sit straight up and rub the sleep from
my eyes.
Diving into pages now
"Yeah, I woke up about ten minutes ago when the nurse came in to take my vitals. You were snoring logs, so I didn't want to
wake you."
I click my tongue at him, "I don't snore!"
"Yes, you do! I'm surprised you didn't wake me up sooner!" He winks at me.
"Aren't you in a good mood. Did you forget why you're even in here?" I lift a brow.
"Yes, because someone didn't follow orders and stay in the safe room like she was supposed to." The Alpha chides.
"Oh please, I saved your ass, Alpha!" I chuckle, "But, as for my reason for being out, it's because that Alpha asshole was trying
to sneak into my pack house. I was watching from the monitors. My men were pulled to the back of the pack house and couldn't
get back to the front, so I went out to protect what is mine."
"Well, that doesn't sound fishy or anything. They planned that very well. Where is that Alpha dick now?" He asks me.
"Hopefully being burned as we speak. Tala killed him after what he did to you; she went ballistic."
"Awe, thank you, beautiful girl." He says to my wolf, and I can feel her stir on the surface.
"You've done it now; she's purring like a kitten for you." I laugh, and he joins in.
"So, what's going on out there?" He nods towards the window.
have
Dividing into pages now the Gray Skies Alpha in the cells."
"You won't go down there by yourself, will you?" He asks anxiously.
I roll my eyes at him, "No, I guess not, I'll wait for you. The doctor says that you should be able to leave in the morning."
"Ugh, I hate hospitals! It's only a leg wound for Goddess's sake!"
"Declan, he took a chunk of your leg off! I had to make sure that you didn't lose it for good, so yeah, you need to stay here
overnight, at least!"
"Okay, okay, geesh!" He holds his hands up and chuckles, "I will stop complaining if you give me a kiss to help me feel better."
A stirring between my legs has me blushing. I'm not sure if I should, I don't want either of us getting hurt when I find my mate. I
don't think I can do that again, 'Oh, just kiss the poor Alpha, will you! He's here because he came to save us.'
I scoff, 'Yeah, and I ended up saving his ass.'
'Oh stop, you know that it was hot as hell how Duke came in and bulldozed right over the fucker!' Tala huffs.
'Yeah, I guess you're right, but what about when my mate comes?'
'The bond is a strong one Quinn; I promise you will not be left broken hearted again.' Tala shows me a picture of her wiggling her
brows.
"Um, chopped liver once again, I see." Declan draws my attention back to him.
"Sorry, Tala and I were having a discussion."
"Well, hopefully it had to do with me and the kiss that I want." He winks.
"You know how much of a horn dog she is, so you already know that she was taking your side." I scoff.
"Good girl, Tala." He pats the bed beside him on his non-injured side.
"Declan..."
He crooks his finger at me, and I lose all will power as I climb onto the bed next to him. He hauls me up to his side and gazes
down at me, "Thank you for saving me the way you did."
"It was nothing, really." I'm becoming breathless by the way he's looking at me.
"It was more than nothing, Quinn, and I want to thank you properly. Can I?"
I don't even realize I'm nodding until he takes hold of my chin to hold my head tilted upwards. His lips descend slowly as his eyes
remain on mine. His lips are soft and warm, and they seem to fit mine perfectly. I close my eyes when a small whimper escapes
me, and Declan's kiss becomes a little more demanding.
