The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 144

After talking with the Elders, unless Lila gives up her title willingly, I have no choice but to fight her, even being Queen of the

werewolves now; it’s a crock of s*it is what it is! At least I tried, and my conscience is now clean. On another note, the Elders are all thrilled to hear about me being the last Dire wolf and now that Declan and I are Queen and King, we must meet with them as soon as possible, because they make up my council; they answer to us now. How does that work when they just told us that I had to fight Lila for my title? Because there is a system in place, and we still have to follow the laws and rules. Although, we can now take steps to change some of the outdated laws, which we will definitely be doing in the near future.

I’m in the process of changing into some older training clothes for the challenge in case I need to shift; I don’t want to ruin my good stuff, not on her anyway, when Declan comes into the room. His eyes rake over my half naked form and I notice Duke swirl in his

eyes.

I hold my hand up to stop him, “Don’t even think about it, buddy! There is no time for a quick f*ck, Lila will be at the field anytime. now.”

“Who the f*ck cares about her?” comes Dukes voice.

“I don’t, but the packs will be there waiting as well. We can’t make them wait on us just so we can roll around first.”

He still stalks me, so I try a different tactic, and I bat my lashes while pouting my lip out just a little bit, “Duke, can we please wait until after the challenge? That way, we can celebrate too, and I will let you

do anything you want to me.” I place my hand on his chest.

and step in close for further effect.

He gazes down at me, “Anything?”

I nod, “Anything.” I say very seductively and then bite my lower lip.

He growls, “Fine, but as soon as the fight is over, I’m throwing you over my shoulder and coming straight back here!”

Grinning, I peck him on the lips, “Deal!”

When I go to move away, he grabs me around the waist and holds me to him, “Don’t think you’re going to get away with just a pathetic kiss like that, my Queen!” His mouth descends onto mine and he delivers a very deep and passionate kiss full of need and

want.

My hands fist his shirt as my core begins to throb just from his kiss. He pulls away, smirking, and then I see it in his eyes when he gives the reins back over to Declan, “D*mn that wolf!” He curses.

Chuckling, I stand up on my toes, “Would you like a kiss too, my King?”

“D*mn right I do!” He pulls me in and kisses me with the same passion. It’s different from Duke’s but has the same impact. He growls lowly, “I can smell you, mate!”

“It’s what you both do to me; it’s beyond my control.” I give him a slight smirk.

“Grr…let’s get you out there before Duke and I go back on our deal.” He turns me towards the door and slaps my a*s playfully, making me giggle as we leave.

There is a huge crowd circling the training field. Between both Dark Moon and Storm River packs, there are probably almost two

thousand bodies here alone, just to watch the challenge. Both Spencer and Carter are here to video the event because the Elders must see proof that the challenge took place and that the present Luna is not simply executed. It’s all ridiculous if you ask me, but rules are rules, and now that I’m in the position that I’m in, I must be a good role model and follow them.

Guards position themselves all around the perimeter to not only keep the spectators back but to make sure Lila doesn’t try making a run for it once the silver cuffs come off. She’s standing in the middle of the field with two guards on each side of her. Yeah, four guards for one she-wolf, we weren’t taking any chances. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Declan and I stop right in front of her, my hair tied back in a braid, so Declan’s mark sticks out on my neck. There is a mix of jealousy and anger in her expression as she stares at my mark which is a pair of mated wolves with crowns on their heads; Declan’s is identical to my own. There is no denying the fact that we are fated.

I clear my throat and make sure I am loud enough for all to hear before I start my challenge to her once again, “I, Quinn Night and wolf, Tala, Luna of the Dark Moon pack and fated mate to Alpha Declan, do hereby challenge you, Lila Benton and wolf, Lina, for our rightful title as Luna of the Storm River pack,” I grin knowingly at her, “Do you accept the challenge or are you willing to hand over the title to its rightful owner?”

The she-wolf sneers at me and then tries spitting at me, “F*ck you, I’m not giving up anything!”

“Fine we will do it the hard way….a challenge to the death!” my voice reverberates through the training field. Gasps can be heard all around from the onlookers.

“What? Nobody said that it was to the death!” Lila screeches.

“Due to the many offenses that you have bestowed upon, not only your own Alpha, but to me and my late mate as well, the challenge will be to the death!”

Lila glares at Declan, “Alpha, you agree to all of this? You will allow her to kill the mother of your child?”

“As I have said before,” he speaks in his booming Alpha voice, “Luna Quinn, my Queen, is Holden’s mother. You are of no consequence to me or my son.”

“But…”

“No more stalling, Lila,’ Declan booms, “Get ready to fight!” he nods his head at the guards and one steps forward and unlocks the cuffs around her wrists.

“What if I refuse?” She questions in a matter of fact tone.

“Then you willingly hand over the title and spend the rest of your days in the cells.” The Alpha states boringly.

“Why are those the only two choices? I’m the rightful Luna; I bore you an heir!”

“Yeah, after you lied to me about your meds and tampered with the condoms!” Duke rises up snarling.

“You cared…” She begins to say but Declan jumps right up into her face, baring his fangs.

“Don’t push it, Lila! My mate is here to take back what you stole and you will fight her, or hand it back to her!”

“Fine!” her wolf, Lina, growls, “Just don’t get pi*sed when I kill the

b*tch!”

All Declan does is chuckle as he backs away from Lila. When he turns his attention back to me, he grabs me around the waist and pulls me against him, crashing his mouth to mine in a heated kiss. Everyone disappears for these few brief moments as he gives me everything he’s got in this one simple kiss. Once he breaks away, he grins down at me and winks, “F*ck her s*it up, baby!”

I don’t think I really need to ask how you feel about the chapter, since you all have been clear about what you want to

happen…lol…and I’m so sorry about the cliffhanger, but I do hope you all have any amazing day! =)
