The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 46

Quinn had promised to cook the meat, but then remembered there was no wood to catch fire, nor was there a knife to skin the deer. She sighed as she plopped back down against the grass, looking over at Zayd who was still asleep.

How nice of him to have hunted food and not carry anything to cook it…

In frustration, she hissed, stumping a foot against the forest floor. If she still had her wolf, then she wouldn’t have needed a knife to begin with, her claws were sharp enough.

She felt disadvantaged, dependent, she could barely protect herself now, which is why she had to turn to Zayd; someone she wanted to be done with.

Running her hand down her face, she looked away. But as she said before, her current helpless situation was all bestowed upon her by herself. She’d been a fool, and she’d just realized it.

By accepting the poison from Kathrine, what had she expected? An unbreakable bond between them? A healthy mother and daughter relationship?

Quinn scoffed at herself, that might’ve been what she’d expected, but all she got out of her foolish decisions in the end was a damage that was everlasting.

She wasn’t a werewolf anymore, wasn’t an outstanding beta or an omega…she was but a human, and she didn’t feel like she belonged in this world anymore.

She’d only be degraded and disrespected, she’d be laughed at, shunned…the only place for her now was…was…

Quinn swallowed as she squinted at Zayd…her place wasn’t by his side, it never was. As Kathrine said, everything that made her strong had been taken away from her. She’s nothing now, so why was she even moving forward?

Everyone around her had told her lies that still burnt her chest…why must she depend on the same people who had caused her pain? She realized it now, her place wasn’t with Zayd, it wasn’t with another pack, it wasn’t with humans…

It was by herself. She didn’t suit either worlds, so why live in them? She needed to create her own world, one that only included her and one where she’d always fit in despite the circumstances.

Standing to her feet, she swiped her red hair behind her ears and walked off into the woods…only looking back at Zayd once more…

‘Goodbye…mate.’

Her heart churned as she walked away, she wanted so bad to turn around and go back, but she quickened her steps instead, destroying the mere thought of doing it.

Soon her steps turned into a desperate run. She needed to go as far away as possible, Zayd would wake up soon, if she wasn’t careful, he would find her.
