The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 62

"What the fuck was that?" Gavin jumps back ready to fight.

"I haven't the slightest clue." I quickly run out the door.

"Quinn, wait!" I hear Gavin call out, but I keep going. I run down the stairs, and everyone is crowded around something, "Move out of my way!" I growl as I push my way through the throng of guests. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Getting through, I suddenly stop when I come to the scene before me. Kimber is shaking like a leaf in her sister's arms who is trying to calm her down. When I look over at what Kimber is staring at, I see Keenan, Declan's head warrior, sitting on his ass on the floor with his hands up in front of him as though he is surrendering.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask looking back and forth between the three of them. Aspen appears desolate as she glances over at Keenan.

"I don't know, Alpha Quinn. I came in and then I scented her, I scented my mate, so I searched for her and when I found her, all I did was hug her, I swear!" Keenan looks heartbroken, and that's when I put two and two together. Kimber is his mate and he touched her.

I see that Aspen still holds onto Kimber, so I hold my hand out to the warrior, helping him up, "Why don't you go to my office with Gavin, and I will be up to explain everything momentarily." I give my friend an ensuring smile.

Turning to the two sisters, I walk over and squat down, "Can you come with me, Kimber?" I ask her. She looks at her sister and waits until Aspen nods before she allows me to help her off the floor. I turn to the rest of the guests, "Please, continue with whatever you were doing, and I will be down shortly."

The crowd disperses as Aspen and I walk with Kimber to my office. Before we even enter, Kimber stops and glances at both me and her sister. I take her hand and look her straight in the eye.

"Kimber, finding your mate is the best thing that could ever happen to us. You need to cherish it, and I can promise you that Keenan is a very good man, and a very good friend of mine. He is the head warrior to the Storm River pack. Do you know who they are?"

She shakes her head.

"They are the pack that took me in when mine was attacked and my family was killed. If it wasn't for Alpha Declan and Keenan, I wouldn't be the Alpha that I am today." I brush some hair from her face, "Do you trust me, Kimber?"

She stares at me as though she's trying to figure that answer out, but then she nods and smiles.

"Good, then trust me when I tell you that you are one lucky she-wolf to be fated to that male in there. He will be so good to you, and he won't push you into doing anything that you don't want to do, but you need to trust him."

"I'm sorry, Alpha. I didn't mean to ruin your party. It's just, when he wrapped his arms around me, it wasn't him that I saw, but the monster that hurt me." Kimber explains.

"You didn't ruin anything, Kimber, and I understand. How about we go in and meet your mate properly?" i grin, and she finally gives me her beautiful smile.

When I go to open the door, Aspen stops us from going in, "Kimber, do you need me?" She's practically bouncing on her heels and her wolf, Storm, is present in her eyes. *Are you okay, Aspen? Do you need the restroom?" i chuckle.

"NO". MATE!" Storm growls.

Igasp"Seriously? Two mate pairings in one night, and at my birthday, and yet I haven't met mine yet!" i throw my hands up in the air.

"I'll be fine with Alpha Quinn, go." Kimber waves her sister off and Aspen is gone in a blink of an eye.

Kimber and I look at one another and burst out laughing, "Okay, how about we go meet yours now?" I open the door and I let Kimber enter first

Explaining the situation to Keenan was a bit daunting. How do you tell a mate that you just met about being sexually assaulted by another when you were just a teenager? You can imagine how well he took it. In fact, Blaze, his wolf, wanted out, but luckily, he was able to keep him at bay. Me rolling out my Alpha command might have helped a little as well.

Keenan is sitting on the couch now, his elbows on his knees while his hands are fisted in his hair as he tries to take everything in. To my

surprise, Kimber walks over to him and places her hand on his shoulder. His head snaps up, and she jumps back at once.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Keenan sounds like he's disgusted with himself for scaring her.

"It's okay. It may take a little while, but I want to try this...us." Kimber states, "Silver is present for the first time since the attack. I think she recognizes you as our mate." The she-wolf smiles.

I nod at Gavin, indicating that we should leave, "Will you two be okay together? I need to get back to the party, but you're more than welcome to stay here and talk."

Kimber glances over her shoulder at me, "I will be fine, thank you, Alpha."

"No, thank you for giving my friend here, the chance that he deserves." I smile and back out of my office to where Gavin is waiting for me.

"Well, it's sure been an interesting night." He chuckles.

"You're telling me! We need to get downstairs because Aspen scented her mate as well, just before we came into the room. I want to be nosy and go see who it is." I wiggle my brows at him.

He grabs hold of my arm and stopping me, "How do I know that your mate won't be down there as well?" He seems really concerned as his forehead creases.

"Number one, I would have already scented them, and two, I've already met everyone down there and none of them were my mate."

"Well, just in case this is the only chance I get, I had better kiss you." He gives me his silly grin and cups one side of my face as he brings me to his lips.

"Mm, you may be on to something. Let's shoot for one more, just in case." I muse, and he obliges.

"Come on!" Cici's voice is a loud whisper as she walks towards us, "Everybody is waiting on you and you're swapping spit with your boyfriend?" My friend looks frazzled as she starts pulling on my arm. Gavin and I both laugh at Cici's choice of words as we break away from each other, and head downstairs hand in hand. I wish I could feel the tingles that fated mates feel whenever I touch Gavin, but he gives me a different kind of tingle, and I will have to make do with those. Besides, he makes up in other departments.

Leaning in, he lowers his voice a bit, "We are not done with the conversation that we started earlier, before the scream."

Not being able to help myself, I decide to mess with him, "I don't quite remember what that was? What were we talking about? It must not have been too important if I can't even remember what it was." "You know perfectly well what you said to me, and I'm serious, Quinn. I want us to talk about it after the party."

I turn to face him, "of course, I remember what I said, Gavin. How could I forget that I told you that I want you as my chosen mate?"

"You what?" Gavin and I both turn to see Declan standing only a few feet away.
