The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 189

Decker

I decided to go with Holden over to his territory to try and alk some sense into lan, Emery

and Emmett’s cousin, and the on of the former Beta. He’s been butthurt since Holden

amed Bo, his best friend, as his Beta, and so when my broth- er offered him the G*mma

position, he turned it down. I know ve had discussed this beforehand, that we didn’t want

any- ›ne with a title that will have a sore disposition, but we need

im to accept the G*mma position.

G*mmas are the righthand man to the Beta and in charge of the warriors. The Head

Warrior answers to the *amma, and so on, but most importantly, the G*mma protects

the Luna. Me and Asher have yet to choose our G*mma’s but it’s unani- nous that lan be

one of them. Emery is special all the way around and so we want extra protection for her

Enter title…

and since lan has always been close to both our mate and her twin, he’s the only option

for us, and that’s how we are hoping to bring him. to see that it would be the right

decision for him.

‘I just don’t understand why lan is being so stubborn,’ I say though our mind link as we

head over to Hold’s territory, ‘I mean, he was so easy-going when we were kids, he

never had a chip in his shoulder.’ Even though we can speak out loud, thanks to the

bonds, I still prefer keeping our conversation between us as we let Blaze and Achilles

run, in case there are others running around or we get close to patrol.

‘I think he just assumed that he would be Beta because his dad was the current Beta.’

My brother responds.

‘But he knew that the Beta Heir doesn’t always get the po- sition.’ I feel like a broken

record, always repeating myself on this topic.

‘Well, hopefully we can get him to see the light. I mean, technically, he will be the Beta to

my Beta so…’

I chuckle, ‘Yeah, let’s see if he sees it that way.’

‘Well, at least I have someone in mind; look at you and Ash. Does Emmett or Ayden

even have anyone in mind?’

I sigh, ‘No, at least they haven’t told us, but I did inform Emmett of getting me his list of

candidates by the end of the day tomorrow.”

‘Decker, with this new threat, we really need Emery well protected, or at least with good

warriors that will fight for and with her, because we both know that our feisty little Luna

won’t just sit off on the sidelines.’ He chuckles, ‘Man, you should have seen her the other

day when one of the rogues came at me. She shifted instantly and *iki was magnificent.

I can watch our Luna battle every day, she’s that good.’

‘Well, let’s not wish for that, okay?’ I chuckle at my brother’ s statement. The last thing I

want is to live our lives having to battle every day.

We find lan talking to a couple of young she-wolves. You can tell they are just out of high

school, if even that. lan rolls his eyes when he notices that we are coming his way. He

says something to the girls, and they glance our way before hurry- ing off. The male

pushes himself away from the wall that he’s leaning against and waits for us to

approach.

“First of all,’ Holden lays in on him right away, “Never roll

your eyes at your Alphas!”

“Sorry, Alpha.” He doesn’t sound too sorry but he’s not a complete a*shole either.

“lan,” I say his name in a friendly manner, “We need to talk to you about the G*mma

position.”

“I already told Holden that I don’t want a pity position!” He raises his voice a little bit.

“Hey…” Holden begins but I place my hand on his arm to stop him.

“Let me explain something to him first, and then you can yell at him all you want.” I grin

at my older brother.

Yeah, I may be the ‘softer’ Alpha, but I’m also the more sensible one, knowing that you

catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar. Hm, I wonder where I’ve heard

that from. I turn back to lan and study him for a moment, contem- plating on how to start.

Finally, I just dive into what it is that we need.

“You know that we love your cousin more than anything, right?”

He nods, “I would hope so, since you are mated.” He

smirks.

I follow suit with my own smirk, “Yeah, well, even though we know she can take care of

herself for the most part, we need someone that we can trust and that will have her back

no matter what. You love you cousin, and I know you would protect her from any danger;

am I right?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Of course! I’ve always helped to protect Em. She’s family, one of my favorites actually.”

Again, lan smirks.

“Okay, and you know why a lot of packs have G*mmas, correct?” I ask but right away I

can tell that he really isn’t sure.

“Well, I know that they are in charge of the warriors. I know I’m a good warrior, Alpha, but

I don’t want to be stuck training them.”

I chuckle at this, “That’s fine because that’s not what we want you for, that’s the Head

Warrior’s job. Granted, you will oversee the Head Warrior and the rest, but you don’t

have to train them. In fact, if for some reason the Head Warrior would need help, then I

would suggest that you choose a Delta to help with that because your main job as the

G*mma will be being the Beta’s first in command and most importantly, pro- tecting your

cousin, Luna Emery.”

Holden glances over at me when we start to see the wheels turning in lan’s head.

Making the job title a little more interesting and having it be a very important title is the

key to winning him over. I really do want him to be the one protect- ing our mate because

I know that he would give his life for Emery.

“lan,” Holden gets his attention, “I know that you were wanting the Beta position, but I

need you, we need you in this position because you are the only one that we trust. Yes,

there will also be two more G*mma’s, one from each territory, but you are the first

G*mma and the other two, once they have been chosen will follow you.”

H*ok, line, and sinker! He stands a bit straighter, “Okay, I’ll do it.”

“Yes! Thank you so much for accepting this position, lan.” Making him feel important is

the only thing that we really needed to do, “Oh, a little advice on women,” I grin,

“Number one, you have Beta blood, so you should end up with a high- ranking mate and

shouldn’t be dallying with omega’s; break- ing their little hearts, and number two, don’t be

a male w*ore before you meet your mate,” I look over at Holden who’s smil- ing

sheepishly, “or you will regret it.” My brother nods in agreement.

“No, that’s not what that was…”

I laugh, “Hey, as long as they are of age and it’s all consen- sual, you don’t have to

explain, but heed my warning. I waited for mine and it was so worth it.”

By his expression, I’m taking it that it’s already too late. and I shake my head, “To each

their own, lan. I’ll have Emery contact you about your new position. You know how she

likes to have plans set in place for everything that may possibly go wrong.” I turn to leave

but then stop, “Oh, and as soon as we figure out the G*mmas in the other two territories,

I will be in contact with you myself.”

“Yes, Alpha, thank you.”

“I think Decker is fine when we are in a private setting, you’re family, remember that.” I

grin and then Holden and I head towards the pack house to pay Bo a little visit. He

needs to know our decision and be aware of that he now has a bit more help around

here when Holden isn’t here.

“Do you really think we made the right decision with lan?” Holden asks on our way.

“Yeah, I really do. Once he realized the importance of the

position and that it involved protecting his cousin, it all snapped into place for him. I think

lan Stone will prove to be a great G*mma.
