The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 4

Tomorrow took so long to come, the darkness in her room, Quinn had laid down all night staring at it until the light from the sun slowly replaced it. She kept pinching herself, trying to see if she’d be able to wake up from this nightmare…

But every time she pinched herself, the pain reminded her that it was all real. Jeo had rejected her, and now he was mated to her sister.

The name and the respect she had worked so hard to build was now tarnished, and only the shame he had bestowed upon her remained. The pack wouldn’t look up to her like they used to, they’d now look up to Delilah; for advice and for help…

And she’d only be remembered as a luna who couldn’t satisfy her alpha.

Hugging her pillow tighter, Quinn twisted on the bed, looking towards her window. She was tired and yet she couldn’t even sleep last night…the pain kept her awake, that and the endless tears that kept floating from her eyes.

The sheet beneath her was soaked in her sorrows, and her heart was drowning; physically suffocating after being so evilly betrayed. She wished she had tried to solve the problems between her and Jeo sooner…when he had started to become distant, she shouldn’t have given him space, she should’ve pushed harder…

But what was the use of lamenting now? It was all over and there was nothing she could do about i~

Quinn looked towards the door when two knocks sounded from it. “Honey, it’s me…can I come in?”

Her father’s voice was as calming as ever…that man; he meant the world to her. “Yes dad…”

The knob twisted immediately after her response, and her father stepped inside. He was a beta like her, the past beta of this pack, and he had trained her to take his position…

But if she couldn’t succeed in being a luna, how would she be able to succeed in becoming a beta?

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes…” It was a lie to comfort him, for she hadn’t slept a wink.

“I’m sorry to be the bearer of this news, but the alpha wishes to see you…he’s requesting your presence in his office right away.”

Quinn sat up abruptly. “W-Why?”

“He did not tell me…but I pray to the goddess of the moon that it isn’t bad news. If you want, I could accompany yo~”

“No, it’s fine dad, I’ll go alone.”

Despite the pain in her endlessly drowning heart, Quinn stood to her feet, walking through the door to her room. She passed her mother who stared at her with an unreadable gaze in the living room and went straight outside.

A breath; one filled with frustration left her lips as she stepped down the porch. She was scared to hear what he had to say to her, what happened last night was already enough, if he hurt her again, then it’d probably kill her.

Her steps lacked confidence as she walked through the silent woods and towards the central part of the pack where the pack house was. Young wolves who’s yet to find their mates lived there, and beside it, were other important buildings like the house of elders, the marketplace, and the alpha’s office.
