CHAPTER 132
"The three strangers that Frankie told us about..." I stare at Declan wide-eyed.
He nods, "Yeah, I believe so," Declan pulls me onto his lap and holds me close, "Frankie said that they were human, but they were something else as well."
"How were they able to ask around and not sense the other wolves in the bar?" I ask a little confused. If they are werewolf hunters, then why not take out the wolves they come across? It's not like they need every wolf alive in order to find me.
"Who says they didn't sense the others?" Declan asks his own question, "But they are more concerned about finding you
and maybe they were hoping that one of them would lead them to you."
"Frankie said that he made sure he wasn't followed. Do you think he was mistaken? That maybe he was followed?" Now I'm nervous.
"I don't know, baby, I really don't know." He kisses the top of my head.
"Maybe they didn't since they haven't attacked yet." I know I'm grasping air, but it's helping to keep me on the calmer side. Tala is scratching and pawing to get out, but she doesn't understand what is at stake.
"Or they are waiting for the change to take place to make sure you are who they are searching for."
"Seriously? Can't we just go with my idea? It sounds so much. better than yours!"
Declan chuckles, "Better to be safe than sorry. I know this is all scary and unknown, but we have each other, and we will take this head on as usual. We will win this war Quinn, because I'm not willing to lose you or our children over this."
"Mm, I love it when you talk all sexy like this..." I press my lips. against his, but I don't push for more. In fact, I count down in my head as to when he's going to pull away because there is work to be done.
He never disappoints, as he pulls away, chuckling, "I am going to show each and every part of your body just how much I love it when we are alone later. For now,” he gives me another peck, "There's work to do." Patting my ass, he has me get off his lap.
"Who was it that just said not too long ago, something about all work and no play?" I cock a brow at him and grin.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know...I'm a hypocrite!" He laughs, "In my defense though, I already put word out that there will be a video call with Carter, and Alphȧ Deke will be joining us."
"Fine, but you better make good on your promise to each of my body parts!"
"Make no mistake, Quinn, I will have you later."
My core throbs with his statement, making Declan growl when he smells my arousal, "Hey, don't say things that will get me wet..." I hold my hands up and shrug, "Just saying."
Declan ends up filling me in on security just before Carter calls with an update. Our men have been moving warriors around for
the past hour, trying to make it work, and finally, they have managed it. I'm so glad that our warriors can work together on this; it will make it so much less stressful in the long run.
"Oh, they have already started putting up the extra cameras in Luna Quinn's territory. Spencer called me when the men got to the border, to let me know since he didn't want to bother you. He knew you two were going over the documents." Carter informs us, "I had them start on Dark Moon territory first since it's the one in most danger."
"Thank you, Carter. I appreciate you taking lead on this," I tell him, "We both do."
He collapses over my back as we try and catch our breath, "Well, so much for waiting until later." I chuckle.
"If you weren't such a tease, then I would have been able to wait." He snickers as well as he stands up and then slowly pulls out of me while he watches, "Goddess, I made a mess out of you, baby." He leaves me bent over as he walks into the attached bathroom to grab a towel.
When he comes back and starts wiping up his mess between my legs, I glance over my shoulder at him, "Don't think you're getting out of your promise, just because I let you fuck me now."
"I wouldn't dream of it. A promise is a promise, and I always keep mine." He slaps my ass hard making me squeal in delight before standing back up. He tosses me my clothes, "We have three minutes until I connect the video chat, better dress quick." He chuckles.
"You are such an ass hat!" I laugh but don't waste any time in dressing.
Declan starts the video chat and Carter is the first to come up on the big screen that we have specifically for these calls. I don't understand why he's smirking until I glance at our image. I shriek and duck out of the camera range, but not before slapping Declan in the chest.
"What was that for?" He asks but I ignore him completely while I run into the bathroom.
"Dude," I hear Carter trying to talk quietly, "always make sure they' re not sporting sex hair before starting a video call!"
"Oh shit...my bad!" I hear Declan chuckle, "Sorry, babe!" He calls out to me as he snickers. I can't help but grin myself, as I comb through my hair.
"Did I miss something?" Deke's voice comes over the speaker.
"Nope," I say, popping the P, as I come back into the room, "nothing at all."
