CHAPTER 58
Declan
I’m standing in the middle of the living area, butt-ass naked, seething. My hands are clenched tight as I
glare at the she-bitch who dares to call herself the Luna of my pack. The only thing stopping me from
tearing her to shreds is the fact that she still holds my son in her arms. I’ m waiting for her to answer
me, but all she does is sit there and smirks as she takes a look around the room. When her eyes land
on Quinn, her smirk disappears.
“What the fuck is she doing here?” She sneers, “I leave for half a day, and you’re already bringing your
whore back?”
“Lacy.” I say in a very low, strained voice. A she-wolf that I went to school with steps forward, “Please
take my son out of here.” When Lacy goes to take Holden, Lila growls at her and holds him tighter.
“You will not touch my son!”
Poor Lacy doesn’t know what to do as she looks back at me. I raise my voice once again, “You will give
my son to his nanny, now, Lila!”
“He’s my son, too, Alpha! You seem to forget that.”
“NO!” Duke roars now, “You’re the one who forgets that you have a son! You only give him attention
when it’s going to benefit you!” I’m doing all I can to hold my wolf back because he’s about to come
unleashed, so I push him back once more, “You will hand over my son, before I have to do it myself,
and so help me Goddess, you will be sorry then!” I take a step forward.
It’s enough for Lila to hand my son over to Lacy. As soon as she does, I’m quick, as I move toward her
and lifting her off the floor by her neck. I’m never one to hurt a female, but Lila has proven time and
time again that sometimes it’s necessary in order to get your point across.
“You kept my son from me on purpose! Why?” I snarl up at her as I hold her up above my head. I
loosen my grip enough so she can still talk.
“I was not keeping him from you…”
*That’s a lie! You blocked me from communicating with you and you lied about taking him for a walk!
You even covered up both yours and Holden’s scent so we couldn’t locate you! Now, I want to know
WHY!”
“I told you; I wasn’t…”
I didn’t let her finish as I throw her across the room. Her body slams into the wall by the window, putting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta huge hole in the drywall. Her body crumbles to the floor, but she looks up and glares across the room
at me. Her eyes then move over to Quinn who is just standing there, showing absolutely no emotion.
The female Alpha’s brow cocks up when Lila glares at her, but instead of saying anything to Quinn, she
turns her attention back to me.
“Why?” she sneers, “Why do you choose her over me all the time? We used to have fun together when
we hooked up, and then all of a sudden, you just stopped. Were you lusting after her the whole time?”
I have to roll my eyes because seriously! She keeps asking me why, but she doesn’t stop to ask herself
why she didn’t heed my warning from the very beginning when I told her that all it was ever going to be
is just sex.
*Are you hearing yourself right now, Lila?” I ask incredulously, “Quinn had absolutely nothing to do with
me no longer fucking you. YOU are the one that made me stop because you were getting too attached,
even after I told you that nothing would ever come of it!
“But we were good together, Declan!” She stomps her foot like a child.
“IT’S ALPHA! How many times do I have to tell you this? The only thing good about us was when I was
able to relieve myself and then send you home afterwards. You can’t seriously think that I would
choose a pack whore as my Luna willingly, do you?” I snort, “No, my Luna would have been mine
alone, not shared within the pack.”
Lila kicks up one side of her mouth and glances over at Quinn, “Guess you’re out of the running now
too, since you’re fucking his cousin now.”
When I go to grab her once more, Quinn lays her hand on my arm and stops me as she steps forward
and crosses her arms. The smirk that forms on Quinn’s face can’t mean anything good.
“I wouldn’t have been out of the running had you not fucked him over and tricked him into getting you
pregnant. But hey, at least he got to have a piece of me to remember always.” I watch as she leans
close into Lila’s ear. Oh Goddess, is she really going to tell her? Straining my ears, I barely catch what
is said, “He got the one thing that you could never give him my virginity.”
Lila jerks back, her eyes landing on me, “She’s lying! Tell me she’s lying!”
I shrug
“When?”
“The night before I left, Oh, I guess it was that morning as well.” Quinn winks at me and I can’t fathom
why she is revealing all of this to Lila.
“You fucked her even though you knew I was pregnant with your pup?” She shrieks.
“No, Lila, I didn’t fuck her. Quinn and I made love all night long. That’s what happens when you love
someone.” I smirk at the horrified look on the she-bitch’s face.
“Well…She tries saying something but keeps stopping herself because she’s at a loss for words.
Finally, she gets an evil smile on her face and turns back to Quinn, “Well, you can never give him an
heir. Beat that bitch!”
Oh shit, she did not just bring that up! I know that it’s a sensitive subject for Quinn, but what surprises
me is that the female Alpha holds her own and puffs her chest out. I don’t know if it’s only me, but it’s
almost as if Quinn as grown in the last few seconds. She looks stronger and much scarier.
“You think so, Lila? If I didn’t have a man of my own, I could swoop your Alpha up in a heartbeat and
give him an heir as well. May not be the heir to this pack, but you forget that I am now an Alpha. Any
child of mine will be an heir to my pack.”
I can see the steam leave Lila as she takes in Quinn’s words, “Quinn will always be the better woman,
the better Luna, and the better choice, Lila. When will you give up this pissing contest? Quinn knows
that she is the better choice, but you know what? None of this matters because Quinn and I are only
friends. This is between you and me, and nobody else.” There are two warriors standing by the door
and I nod at them. “I’m thinking some more time in the cells for this little stunt you pulled is in order.”
“What? No, please! I’m sorry, I will never do it again!” She begs me.
I ignore her pleas and turn to Quinn, “I’m going to grab some clothes, please meet me in my office.”
“Alright. She smiles at me and then turns back to Lila, “I have never been a threat to you Lila. I left the
pack so Declan could try and build his family. This is all his decision, and your actions never helped
you. You need to leave me out of this. I’ve moved on, and I’m happy.” Lila doesn’t say a word, so Quinn
turns and follows me up the stairs.
I close the door to my office and lean against it, crossing one foot over the other. I threw on the first
thing I saw which was a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I’m still bare footed as I sweep my eyes
over the woman by the window.
“Why did you do it? You didn’t have to, you know.” My voice is soft.
“I’m so tired of her going on and on about what she has versus what I have. I shouldn’t have stooped to
her level,” she looks down before turning her head towards me and grinning, “but it felt so good rubbing
it in.”
I choke on a laugh and push myself away from the door, “We could have kept it a secret, nobody
needed to know.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m not ashamed of what we did, Declan.” She furrows her brows at me.
“I know, and I’m not either, but that doesn’t mean that we have a duty to tell others that we shared a
night together. What will Gavin say when he hears about it?”
“He already knows.” She looks back out the window, “We don’t keep anything from each other, and
when he asked if there was anything between me and you, I told him.”
“What did he say?” I can only imagine what my cousin thought. I hope he didn’t give her too much grief.
She smirks but doesn’t turn back to look at me, “I don’t think you want to know what happened after
that.”
I understand and I feel myself actually blush a little, “I see.” Cocking my head, I ask my next question,
“Did you really mean it? I mean about being able to give me another heir?”
This time, she turns and looks me in the eye, “Why wouldn’t it be possible? I’m with Gavin, though, so
no, technically, it isn’t possible any longer.
“Right, well, at least Lila is now locked away for a while and won’t be able to cause any trouble.”
“Declan, you need to talk to the Elders about her. You cannot deal with that the rest of your life!” She
places her hand in the middle of my chest, but I don’t think she realizes it, and I don’t do anything to
stop her from doing it. Her touch gives me tingles and our heartbeats are still in sync.
“I will try, but I’m not holding my breath. If anything, she will always have a cell with her name on it.” I
chuckle sadly.
A vibration goes off and Quinn reaches into her back pocket for her phone. I watch her as she reads
her message and then smiles, and right
then I know that it’s from Gavin. He’s the only other person who could put a smile on her face the same
way I can.
“I’ve got to go. Gavin’s on his way over to my place. Besides, you should probably spend some time
with your son.” She reaches up and hugs me. Returning it, I take a deep breath of her scent and
squeeze her tight.
“Thank you for coming over here. Maybe next time it will be a little less chaotic.” I press my lips against
her forehead.
She pulls away, “I don’t know, is it really a good time if there isn’t any drama?” She backs her way to
the door, “Goodbye, Declan. I will see you soon.”
“Goodbye, beautiful.”
