The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 10

She lifted her hand, slowly reaching towards his, but someone grabbed it from behind. “What’s going on here?”

Quinn knew that voice so well, rich and deep with so much familiarity. “J-Jeo?”

Quinn looked back at him, watching as he smiled at the alpha king while still hanging onto her hand. “Oh, Alpha Zayd…! We are the star of this party and we have yet to even greet each other.”

“I couldn’t care less about this party or greeting you. This woman here has all of my attention.”

Jeo’s eyes twitched, the obviously fake smile on his lips threatening to falter. “Is that so? Well, she’s my…my ma~”

“Babe, I was wondering where you went.” Delilah showed up behind him and he quickly let go of her hand as though it were infected by a contagious and threatening disease. “We were greeting the guests, why did you suddenly leave?”

“This is the alpha king, Delilah. If anybody should be greeted, it is him.”

Delilah bowed her head instantly and Jeo gestured towards her. “She’s Delilah, my mate.”

“Right, nice to meet you both.”

“Yeah, I never thought you’d agree to sign the alliance. Your pack is far higher than mine in the rankingin fact, it is at the very top. To have you on my side is an honor altogether.”

“I never thought I’d agree to sign it either, after all, there’s nothing your pack could offer mine. It is small, not in the least bit strong. I signed it for an entirely different reason…only one person here is useful to me.”

Quinn could see it, Jeo was offended…another alpha was making him look small and all he could do was smile because disrespecting this man would probably be the end of him. “Regardless of that, I’m still happy about our partnership.”

Alpha Zayd nodded, looking at Delilah and then at Quinn. “Is she your sister…?”

Quinn stayed silent for a moment before nodding her head. “I suppose so.”

“You two look very much alike.” He smirked up at Jeovanni. “No offense, you two make a beautiful couple, but I bet me and Quinn here could steal the night if we tried. Quinn…?”

“Yes…?” Quinn answered him.

“How about that dance…?” He stretched his hand out to her again, and Quinn looked down at it. She had no reason to say no, not to the most important guest…

Her hand slid slowly into his, and she heard the growl of disapproval that suddenly popped up in her head. The mind link, Jeo was using it to communicate with her. ‘Say no…’

His words were commanding, but Quinn did not listen. Why must she? He had moved on, she could too.
