The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 14

Zayd sat in the comfort of his office, hand fisted beneath his chin in deep thought. He missed her already, the beautiful redhead who had stolen his heart three nights ago.

The prominent and intense emotions she’d made him feel felt fresh in his mind, and her scent…the mixture of earthy and floral still lived along the rim of his nostrils. She smelled like heaven and hell in one; a scent that calmed and tempted him at the same time…

A scent of pine trees and lotus flowers…a marvelous combination that had his heart in knots that night.

As soon as she’d walked in, his wolf was at the edge, jealous of the other eyes that stared at her celestial face and the constant and alluring sway of her hips. They wanted her, but he was glad she’d been entrusted to him by the goddess of the moon…

His mate; the woman he’d been waiting twenty-seven years for…he’d searched high and low, and after all these years of declining that pack’s advances for an alliance…finally agreeing had landed him a jackpot.

The night they came with the contract, he’d planned to turn them down, but that captivating scent that lingered on the weapon box was what had his wolf rolling straight onto its back. The word mate had bombarded his mind, and in order to meet her, that contract, he’d signed it and asked the gamma about who had held the box before him…

He called a whole lot of names but hers stood out the most; well, not if he considered the fact that it was the only feminine name called. He’d inquired about her, learning of her full name and her position…he’d also learned that she was supposed to have accompanied them but because of unpredictable and personal events, she could no longer make it.

It had angered him; the fact that he’d finally found his mate and couldn’t see her…but his anger had been why the beta proposed a party and that was a marvelous idea. His usual color was black, but he’d tried on several others, including pink just to impress her.

His beta, Dantae was the one who told him to take them off and settle for black because he looked like a clown in colored. Seeing her in dark green that night and not pink or red ~colors that women mostly loved~ made him happy he chose a black suit with a white undershirt.

And many other things made him happy as well…the sweet sound of her voice that had massaged his ears as well as the sweet taste of her mouth when he’d kissed her. She tasted like dark chocolate, bitter and sweet at the same time…

What made him tempted to destroy the whole place though was the fact that she’d previously been marked by a man who still seemed to have feelings for her. He’d seen the way that weak and audacious alpha had been looking at her when she was with him; it was a look of jealousy that made his wolf want to let loose…and the fact that she seemed jealous of him too made it even worst.
