It sounds like you have a draw somewhere.

Do this:
Disconnect neg battery cable.
Set multimeter to check for DC amps.
Test from neg cable connection to neg battery terminal.

You should be drawing milliamps.

At that point you can start pulling fuses to see which circuit has the draw.

14.4 is not a sure test of an alternator. It could not be putting out enough amps to charge or could have an internal short that is pulling the battery down when the car is not running.
