The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 25

Derrick stayed with Quinn for the day, making sure she ate and when the doctor finally gave her the go to leave, he took her home.

Now Quinn sat in her room, wondering if she’d finally gone too far. Her words had been harsh, and her face was nonchalant…he said he’d be here tonight, but after what she’d done, would he even come?

Alphas treasured their pride, and the fact that she kept throwing stones at his probably angered him…had he finally given up now?

The night had gotten darker and yet…and yet, he still wasn’t here.

Quinn sighed, laying back on her bed and grabbing onto the black jacket beside her…his scent that lingered on the thick material was fading away, and one day ahead she knew not even a trace of it will remain…

Was that what was happening? Was he fading away? Would every trace of him too disappear as though it’d never been here?

Quinn hugged the jacket to her chest, looking towards the door. Her father was right, she should’ve followed her heart from the beginning. If she had, then it would’ve never come to this.

But then again, Jeo shouldn’t have been what hindered her, he should’ve been her motivation. If she had sense, then she’d moved on just to spite him.

Ahh…she was a fool indeed, foolish enough to have even believed Alpha Zayd when he told her he wouldn’t give up…for if this wasn’t giving up, she didn’t know what it was…

Why wasn’t he here yet? He didn’t even come back to check if she was alive or dead…was this really the end?

If so, then that night in the woods; those rough kisses and words of ownership…were they all just a…?

Quinn jumped up into a sitting position when his scent drifted across her nostrils; not the faint scent that came from the jacket…this…this was the real deal.

Shuffling off the bed, she rushed out of her room as soon as she heard the knock on the door. Her father, who was in the living room gave her a knowing look which Quinn didn’t have the time to ponder right now.

Her clumsy steps took her to the front door, and it was then that nervousness took ahold of her high spirits. She wondered what he had to say…would he ask her if she was okay? Would he still want to pursue her?

She twisted the knob, pulling the door open with a hand that was shaking. He was right there, standing so tall on her father’s porch with a face that could both make her heart stop and speed up. “Hi…no, I mean, dad’s in the living room.”

“I didn’t come here to see him, I’m leaving as soon as I speak to you. Can you come out for a second?”

“I…I think it’d be better if you came in, it’s cold out.”
