CHAPTER 103
Declan
One step forward, and two steps back. That's how I'm feeling right now where Quinn is concerned. I shouldn't have gotten upset
with her because she was trying to help, but I wish she would have come to me first. I know I've always questioned whether or
not Holden is really mine even after paternity was verified, but it's already been a year and I love the little guy with everything I've
got. I'd give my life for him, so I'm not sure how I would feel finding out that he isn't really mine.
I've got to find a way to make things right with Quinn again, especially if we really are mates. I never meant to make it sound like
everything she has been going through is not as important as my personal matters. I wasn't thinking when I said what I said, but
trying to get her to talk to me, so I can explain, is going to be hard.
Quinn is hard-headed and stubborn, which are a few of the reason why I love her, but it can be so frustrating when it's turned on
me. I' ve tried calling her a few times this morning, but she continues to ignore my calls, so all I can do is give her time, I guess.
My Beta comes walking through the door since I had left it wide open. I always try to keep the open-door policy where as long as
it' s open, you can come in, but most people knock out of respect, except my best friend.
"Hey Dec, my sister just stopped by. She said that this was to be delivered to you and she is the only one that she trusted to
deliver it, so she came herself, but she didn't want to be the one to give it to you."
I look between him and the manilla envelope a bit strangely before holding out my hand to take it, "Did she say anything else?"
"She said something about being the one to find it and then forgot about it?" He responds confused by what she meant.
I freeze because I don't need to open this to know what is inside of it. Dropping it on top of my desk, I just stare at it as if it's
going to jump up and attack me. The contents of that envelope can do irrevocable damage and I don't know if I can make myself
open it.

"What is it?" Carter asks.
"Information that I don't know if I'm ready for, or if I ever want to know." My voice is low and husky as I continue to stare at it.
"Can you enlighten me just a little bit? What information are we talking about?" My Beta is getting concerned by my reaction, but
I' m just stunned at the fact that the answers that I wanted to know over a year ago, are now sitting in front of me.

"It's DNA test results between me and my son. Quinn had Dr. Sands perform the test without me knowing, and the results are
inside that envelope."
"Oh wow!" Carter now stares at the envelope the same way I am, "What are you going to do?"
"I honestly don't know..."
"Okay... well, let me ask you this," Carter sits down in front of my desk and leans forward with his elbows on his knees, "If those
results say that Holden is not your son, are you going to disown him? After raising that boy as your own for his first year of life
and knowing that you are the only real parent he has, would you disown him?" My best friend and I stare intensely at each other.
He and I both know what my answer is going to be.
"Holden is my life; he always will be. Nothing will ever change that; he is MY son and the future Alpha of the Storm River pack." I
clench my jaw just thinking about someone trying to take him. away from me, "Do I open it, or do I throw it away, and forget all
about it?"
"Well, if it isn't going to matter either way, you should probably look at it," when I start to speak, he holds his hand up, stopping
me, "Only because there may come a time where he will need something from his biological father, like a blood transfusion or
whatnot. It also would be nice to know genetics and such, but most importantly, he will want to know when he grows up; you can'
t keep him in the dark."
Of course, Carter is right, it's why I chose him as my Beta. This is something that we can't hide, Holden would never forgive me if
he knew that I knew there was a possibility that he wasn't my blood, but I was too selfish to find out.
"Just because you will know the truth doesn't mean you have to contact the real father, that's on her, but I would, and I would
also make him legally yours. You are an Alpha, and you were duped into believing he is yours; you have a rightful claim, Dec.

This isn't the human world; we have our own laws."
Once again, my friend is right, we aren't human and since I am an Alpha and I've been raising him, I even have the right to take
him away from Lila. I never wanted to do it because she is his mother, but I will do it in a heartbeat if I have to.
Picking up the envelope, my senses pick up on blood. Frowning, I open the envelope and dump the contents on my desk. I sit
back as I stare at the blood-smeared envelope, and I can only assume that it's my cousin's blood. A sadness comes over me.
Gavin and I were finally starting to mend our relationship when he was taken from us.

I vowed to my dying cousin that I would protect his mate and his pup, but silently, I vowed that I would make sure his pack was
returned to the greatness that it once held years ago. Granted, mine and Quinn's were always stronger than the Blue River pack,
but it was much stronger before Daniel took it over, and I will make sure it's stronger once more for when Ash takes his rightful
place as it's Alpha.
Carter gets up to leave, but I stop him, "Don't go; please stay." Taking his seat once again, he sits back and waits for me to open
the envelope.
Using the letter opener, I make a nice slit in the top of the envelope and pull out the folded sheet. I close my eyes and take a few
deep breaths in before unfolding it. It's all mumble jumble until I get to the bottom and read the percentages. My heart races as I
drop the paper on my desk and go stand by the window. A few tears slip out from the corners of my eyes, but I wipe them away.
I hear Carter pick up the sheet of paper and then his eyes are on me a bit confused, "What's wrong? It says that Holden is you're
your biological son."
I grin and choke out a laugh, "Yes, he is! I thought for sure that he wasn't, but there is no way the bitch could have messed with
these results."
Oh Goddess, such a huge weight has been lifted with this news. Granted, I was ready to fight anyone and everyone who tried
taking him away from me, and now I don't have to worry about it. He really is my son. I wish I could share this news with Quinn,
and thank her for doing this for me, but I know she isn't ready to hear from me yet, so I will wait. After all, she will have to forgive
me at some point because I know that she belongs to me.
