CHAPTER 56

Declan

Islam my hand down on my desk, making my Beta flinch in the seat across from me, “It’s been weeks,

Carter! Why have we not caught this fucker? Four dead bodies and not one clue as to who did it!” I get

up and go stare out my window. Pack members are outside, enjoying the beautiful day, unaware that it

could be their last if the killer decides to kill again. Not that I’m complaining, but it’s been three weeks

since the couple from the Dark Shadows pack were found.

“I get your frustration, but you can’t let this asshole win. You can’t let him see that he has you all wound

up. We don’t know who it is; it could be anybody. Hell, it could even be one of our pack members.*

Carter says with a knowing look.

I turn slightly toward him, “Are there still eyes on her?”

“Yes, and when I can’t get one of the others to do it, I do it myself.”

*As much as I despise her, I highly doubt Lila is the killer. That would be way too much work for her to

do.” I turn back to look at the setting sun. “What about the other? Are they still doing their job

diligently?”

“Yes, they report in on time.”

“Good, good.” At least one thing is going my way.

“If I may remind you, Declan.”

“No, you may not. I know what you’re going to say, and I really don’t care to hear it.” I don’t mean to be

so cross with my best friend, but I’m tired of having this discussion.

“Declan, if Quinn finds out that you have eyes on her constantly, she will be furious!”

“She may be furious, but she will still be alive!” I growl.

“Okay, as long as you are aware of the consequences.” My friend chuckles.

“Speaking of Quinn, I think it’s time that we deliver her family’s belongings to her. Now that she is

settled in, she should be able to decide what she wants done with it all. Can you hire a moving truck to

deliver it all to her?”

“Yep, I’ll put it at the top of my list.” He states, “Have you decided what you’re going to get her for her

birthday?”

Sighing, I haven’t the slightest idea. Now that she’s her own Alpha, and she is with my cousin, I’m not

quite sure what is appropriate anymore, “No. I’m open to any suggestions that you may have.” I

chuckle and turn back to my friend.

“Well, we can definitely count another car out.” Carter snickers, Jewelry, perhaps?”

“That won’t be inappropriate?” I question him.

“I don’t see how it would be. It’s not like you’re getting her an engagement ring or anything. You took

her in and gave her a home for three years, Declan. You’re allowed to get her a personal gift.”

I’ll think on it some more, and then let you know.”

“Sounds like a plan. If you don’t need me anymore, Keenan was wanting a word with me about some of

the new trainees.” —

“That’s fine, we are done here, anyway.” I wave him off

I’m just getting up to the Alpha’s floor when Lila comes down the hall. I stop dead in my tracks, and

looking at my watch, there should be no reason for her to be up here. Holden should have been put to

bed a few hours ago. I’ve hired a nanny to help me care for the pup since his mother is not

dependable, so the nanny is the one that puts him to bed when I’m still working in my office.

“What the fuck are you doing up here, Lila?” | scowl at the she-wolf.

“I was checking on our son, what do you think I’m doing?”

“Since when have you ever cared about the well-being of our son?” My hands curl into fists, wanting to

hit something so bad. A pup needs their mother and Lila couldn’t care less about Holden, so he’s

missing out on that mother’s love.

“I love my son, Alpha! Just because I’m not with him twenty-four-seven doesn’t mean I don’t care about

him!” She scoffs.

“Whatever you say, Lila Holden has been in bed for hours, so you have no need to be up here. Unless

you are putting him to bed, which is highly unlikely, you are not to be up here. This is reserved for the

Alpha family only.”

“You forget that I am your Luna.”

“You only have the title because you gave birth to my son!” I sneer, “You aren’t even a mother to him;

we have no need for you here.”

When she walks past me on her way to the stairs, I scent another male on her, but I can’t quite place

the scent, only that it is another pack member, “Let me remind you, Lila, that as long as you insist on

keeping the Luna title, you are not to be with other males.” I growl.

“I know this, Alpha.” She stops at the top step but doesn’t turn when I turn towards her…

“If you know this, then why do I scent another male on you?”

“You are mistaken, I haven’t been with anybody since you. Speaking of which, should your needs be

taken care of, all you need to do is link me. Now that Quinn is busy fucking your cousin…”

I have my hand wrapped around her small neck in a heartbeat, “If you ever talk about her in that way

again, it will be your last time, whore! You will also refer to her as Alpha Quinn from this day forward.

Do you understand me?”

She can’t answer me because I’m holding her throat that tight, so she blinks, and I let go. She drops to

the floor, and I head to my room. Without turning back to her I respond to her other suggestion.

“I would rather cut my dick off than to ever stick it inside you again, so don’t ever suggest that in the

future.” Walking into my room, I close the door and lock it, not trusting that she-bitch one bit.

The next morning, I go into the safe in my office and pull out the last two items that I’ve held inside it for

almost four years now. One is the letter for Quinn that she can’t read for another year yet, and then the

other is a chain with a key around it. I found it stashed with this letter, so I’m assuming it goes with it. I

have no clue as to what it could possibly go to, but maybe Quinn will know.

I have no right to keep these items from her and I know she will respect her mother’s wishes and not

open it until the given date. The necklace gives me an idea for a birthday present, though, and so I get

to work, and start making calls. It actually doesn’t take me long to find the person I’m looking for to

commission him on preparing Quinn’s birthday gift.

I’m leaving my office in a good mood when I run into one of the young she-wolves, “Excuse me, Alpha,

but I’m looking for Luna Lila. She told the nanny that she was taking Holden for a walk, but nobody has

seen her and it’s time for his feeding.”

I hold my finger up as I try mind linking Lila. Frowning, I try again, but the bitch has me blocked, “How

long ago did she take Holden?”

*An hour ago, around sevenish.” The young Omega states.

I frown once more because she shouldn’t have had him out that early to begin with. I link my Beta and

head warrior to warn them of the issue and to send out a search party. Hoping that Lila is just being a

bitch and keeping my son from me, and that they are not injured in any way.

Alpha, patrol saw Lila’s car heading out of the territory about thirty minutes ago.’ Keenan links me back.

Duke and I both snarl, “Find her and bring me back my fucking son!”
