The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 2

Quinn bowed to her mother; Kathrine and her father, Derrick as she adjusted her bag straps on her back. “I’ll be back…I’ll be gone for about four days.”

“I heard…Delilah told me you’d be leaving for the wounded moon pack…do you know the way?” Derrick asked.

“I don’t, but the pack members who do will be leading the way…”

“Good…come back in one piece and then come spend some time with us.”

“I will…”

“Bring Jeovanni as well.”

Quinn chuckled, trying to hide the sadness that appeared in her eyes. “I will dad…I will…”

Her eyes glanced over to her little sister and with trembling fingers, she ruffled her red hair. “Behave while I-I’m gone, Delilah.”

Her voice broke as she spoke…she felt betrayed, but she couldn’t let it show.

Delilah twisted her fingers in front of her, smiling from ear to ear. “I’m always on my best behavior…come back soon…bring me meat.”

“I will if I get the time…for mom too.”

Kathrine glanced over at her daughter, her eyes cold…like they’ve always been. “There’s still meat in the fridge from what you brought back last time…save your time…use it to do something else.”

“Mother y~”

Derrick chuckled, throwing his arm over Quinn’s shoulder, leading her away from the rest of the family. “Don’t mind her, just go sweetie…I’d be delighted to receive some deer meat.”

Quinn smiled at her father’s words. “Alright…I’ll go now…take care of them while I’m gone.”

He nodded and Quinn headed off, meeting the pack members who’d accompany her by the pack borders. Her mother had become distant ever since she became the luna of the pack…

Perhaps it was because she was disappointed that Quinn didn’t get to become the beta she had initially trained to be…but her father cheered her on regardless. He was a good man, the best…

He always told her that her mom would come back around, but Quinn didn’t think it was possible…her eyes had changed, even her voice was harsh now…hopefully some day she’d really come around.

Sighing, Quinn gestured towards the head warrior, Jeo’s gamma ~Cannon~. “Ready?”

“Yeah, everything’s set…the weapons are packed…Henry will carry them for now…we can switch the weight from person to person on the way.”

Quinn nodded, glancing at Henry who had already transformed into the beautiful gray fur of his wolf. On his back was a box, tied to him with a rope. “Alright…let’s go…lead the way, Cannon.”

She took a look back at the pack lands before reluctantly crouching and transforming into her silver-colored wolf. She wasn’t sure why, but her wolf was whimpering in her chest as though it feared leaving.

Likewise, she did too, goddess knows what’ll happen between Jeo and Delilah while she was gone, but she was assigned a mission, as Luna, it was something she had to fulfill.

But a day in, and she felt like she could not fulfill that mission. She was anxious to a point where her skin felt itchy, and when night fell down onto the land, her eyes were red with tears and it wasn't clear to her why she was crying…
