The Alpha Who Saved Me

.

CHAPTER 2
Dr. Sands and Summer are already waiting at the hospital doors with a gurney. I had linked them both as we were headed back
this way. It has taken us longer than usual because we don't want to jar the stranger too much without knowing what kind of
injury he has. By the looks of the gash on the side of his head, it looks like someone was trying to kill the guy. It doesn't look as
though there are other injuries, but one can never be too sure.
I had wrapped a shirt around the wound to staunch the blood flow, but his pulse is getting weaker. He is our only chance to find
out who they are exactly and why they are here. I'm hoping that by the male trying to lead the others away, that he has
somewhat of a decent heart, but we won't know that either if he dies on us.
"Jonah, please try your best to save him. We need information and I think he may be willing to tell us." I inform the doctor.
He unwraps the blood-soaked shirt and grimaces, "I will do my best, Luna."
"That's all I ask. Please let me know as soon as you know more." I turn and find Declan waiting. He's covered in the stranger's
blood but he's still smiling at me.
"What's the smile for, Alpha?"
"Have I ever told you how hot you look when you're being assertive? You took charger the moment you saw how injured a
complete stranger was, a possible enemy at that!" He reaches forward with just his lips, wanting me to kiss him.
Grabbing his face, I give him what he wants, but only a brief one,
and then I pull away, "Down boy, we still have work to do!" I turn and start walking away.
He growls playfully, "Do I look like a dog to you?"
I spin back around with a lifted brow, "You did not just ask me that!"
"Yeah, I did! I ain't no dog..." His sentence dies off once he finally catches himself, "I'm a wolf...there's a difference!" He huffs and
stomps past me, sulking playfully.
He would be annoyed if he witnessed the smirk that I'm aiming at him. I slap his ass as he goes past, "Dog, wolf; I hate to break
it to you, but they are both canines...one in the same."

"You keep a dog as a pet, not a wolf! There is no comparison, Quinn, and I can't believe that you would put yourself in the same
category as a mutt!" He turns and rolls his eyes at me.
"I only do it to get your panties in a bunch, sweet cheeks!" I slap his ass once more.
"I'd have to be wearing them in order to get them in a bunch, smart ass." He tries hiding, his grin, but he fails miserably.
"Hm, I don't believe you. Do you mind proving it?" I bite my lower lip.
He glances down at himself covered in another's blood, and then with a sexy look that I know all too well, he says, "How about
you follow me into our room, and I will show you. Of course, you will have to then follow me into the shower to help me clean all
this blood off me. I might have gotten it in places that I can't quite see."
I lean in, "That's what mirrors are for," I start walking towards the
pack house, "I need to go get our pups.
"You're such a fucking tease!" He chuckles.
"Then I guess you had better take a cold shower then, huh?" I hear him trying to sneak up on me and I take off running. He isn't
quite as fast as I am, but he does catch up to me when I hit the steps to the porch.
"Damn woman, you're fast!" He seems surprised, but he's known that my skills have been getting better and better, "You were
almost like a blur, Quinn!"
I scoff at this, "Yeah, whatever."
"I am dead serious! We are definitely going to have to try out the different powers in the next day or so. I want to see what kind of
super Luna I'm sleeping next to." He winks.
"All you need to know is that it's one that can kick your ass!"
"Hey," he holds his hands up defensively, "I never argued that you couldn't, and quite frankly, I really don't want to find out!"
"Awe, no worries," I pat his cheek, "I would take it easy on you, I swear."
I head into the kitchen with Declan following close behind. Spencer has already opened the door to the safe room and is letting
the pack members out. As everyone is climbing up, I wash my hands quickly and then take Ash from Cici's arms. The moment I

start to turn away, she grabs my arm and stops me.
"What's that smell?" She asks.
I stare at her a moment and then my eyes move to my mate and then on to a few others before I sniff the air and then myself,

"What do you mean? The only thing new I smell is blood, which we should probably go wash off, mainly you, Declan." I turn my
full attention on him, "Why are you in here anyway? I thought you were going to shower?"
"Well, I figured I'd help with Holden." He answers as if it should be obvious.
"Uh, no you're not. You will not lay one finger on our son until you get cleaned up!"
“Wait!” My best friend moves over to my mate and starts sniffing him as well, "Why do both of you smell like...I don't...like
coconut?"
Declan and I just gawk at my friend for a moment, "I thought your stopped smoking the wacky grass back in high school?"
Seriously, if she's started smoking pot again and while she was supposed to be taking care of my boys, I'm going to beat her
ever-loving ass.
"My mate does not do drugs, Luna. I can smell it too. It's just as she says, it smells like coconut, but with a hint of pineapple.
Have the two of you been drinking pina coladas, because that's exactly what it smells like?".
I look at my mate, "I think we should check the ventilation down in the safe room."
"Why? Spence wasn't down there." He furrows his brows, "Maybe we have a carbon monoxide leak or something." He responds
becoming concerned as well.
"Seriously, for being the leaders of two packs, the two of you are not all there sometimes. We have alarms for all of that kind of
stuff, top of the line brands to boot!"
"Well, I give up then, because I don't smell what you two are smelling." I'm a bit bewildered.
"Neither do I." My mate agrees.
"Hey Demi!" Cici calls out as the she-wolf passes by, "Do you smell anything fruity-like?"

Even the nanny looks at the Beta couple a bit strangely, "I wouldn't call dried blood fruity-like but that's all I smell at the moment,"
Demi turns to Declan, "No offense Alpha, but you stink."
Both he and I chuckle, as I turn him around and slap his ass for the third time today, "Go, my King. Shower and be clean!" I say
amusingly. As he leaves, though, my Beta couple still look puzzled, "Maybe someone was chewing gum or something." I try
making some sense out of it, but I don't think they are buying it.
Finally, Cici shrugs, "Maybe we are losing it babe. How about we go and take a nap, maybe we are just overworked."
"Baby, we will not rest if we go to our room now and you know damn well that I am right." Spencer chuckles.
"Fine, be that way!" Cici stomps out of the kitchen, leaving us all snickering behind her.
"I swear she takes performance meds every day! I've never met anyone with a libido like hers. I know mates have high sex
drives, but this is on the edge of insane, Luna! I almost need a double, just so I can get some rest and get work done!" He
follows in his mate's wake and all Demi and I can do is laugh as he does.
