The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 42

Zayd followed the scent of the fleeting omega, paws thundering against the earth. He wouldn’t let her get away, if he didn’t find her tonight, he would not return…his pride would not allow him to.

Twisting into the woods, he bolted past the trees…he wasn’t anxious, he knew she hadn’t gotten far, he knew he’d catch her. Her efforts were all in vain, a fool she was indeed, and Quinn was probably the same; a fool.

If she’d just given him a hint before, if she’d just said the word, it wouldn’t have gotten this far. But a mother trying to kill her own child was a surprise to him, he still couldn’t believe it. Why would she even think about doing such a thing?

What exactly happened between the two?

Zayd was clueless and curious, but right now, that wasn’t at the forefront of his mind…catching this woman was.

Speeding up, his nostrils flared as he smelled the air, realizing that he was quickly closing in on her. He jumped over a log, eyes drifting across the dark woods until he spotted the brown wolf, running with what was probably her all.

He growled, sprinting into the direction she was running, she looked back at him, the fear in those eyes unimaginable.

Zayd forced his paws to move faster, leaping on top of her when he got close enough. She whimpered, trying to get away, but he had enough pressure on her small form.

She twisted around to face him, the red eyes of her wolf cowering as she stared into his fierce ones. It seemed as though she was begging for mercy, but how could she?

After destroying Quinn, she deserved to be destroyed too.

Another growl rumbled through Zayd’s throat, this one low and lethal, revealing the obvious fact that she was in grave danger. Derrick had begged him to spare her, but he wouldn’t. He was trying to protect his mate, but Zayd was doing the exact same.

His lips curled back, revealing his sharp teeth and with one more look into those eyes, he ripped into her neck, burying his teeth deep, deeper still.

Her blood flooded his mouth, and a howl of pain ripped from her throat as she struggled beneath him. Her bones started to crack, and she whimpered through the transformation until she was but a human, becoming even more frail and fragile now. The size difference between her forms had his mouth just settling around her neck now, and before he could tighten it, she began to beg. “Pl-please don’t…Quinn…Quinn wouldn’t want this. If you kill me, then she’ll hate you…I’m her mother after all.”
