The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 52

Quinn got out of the bed she’d been laying in for the past few hours, looking at the clock attached to the wall above the door. It was almost 7:00, and all she’d done after touring the land with Zayd was lay down, trying to get in touch with the wolf she’d lost.

She knew it was impossible, but despite knowing that, she couldn’t help but try. She’d prayed to the goddess too, begging her for help.

But what could the goddess do? Resurrect the same wolf Quinn had taken for granted?

If she’d wanted her wolf, she’d have protected it instead of foolishly doing what she did. The blame was on her head and for that, she knew she didn’t deserve the goddess’ help or anyone else’s for that matter.

However, she still begged for help and begged for forgiveness because that was all that she could do.

With slouch shoulders, she walked into the bathroom adjoined to the room she was in. She needed a shower, a cold shower to numb all the depressing thoughts that kept running through her head.

She reached for the hem of her blouse, but before she could pull the material over her head, she heard a knock on the bedroom door.

Her hands twitched as they loosened the blouse, and she walked back out of the bathroom…suddenly remembering that Zayd promised to be back tonight.

Her cheeks tinted red as she stood in front of the door, somehow scared to open it. What did he have to say to her?

Why did he want to see her?

Quinn reached for the knob, hesitantly twisting it unlocked and opening the door. Her tense body loosened when her eyes met Larna instead of Zayd, but disappointment harvested within her for a reason Quinn didn’t want to acknowledge.

She wanted to see him…she stupidly wanted him to visit her tonight, and she didn’t know why. She didn’t have anything to say to him, but maybe just looking at his face would put her at ease.

“Hello…you knocked…?”

Larna bowed her head, stretching a gift bag out to her. “The Alpha King asked me to deliver this to you…I’m also here to collect the plate you ate dinner from. May I come in?”

Quinn reluctantly took the gift bag from her and moved aside as she walked in, picking up the tray she’d delivered more than two hours ago.

Quinn didn’t touch the food, she had been too deep in thought to be hungry.

“Thank you, Larna.” Quinn said as the young omega walked out.

“You’re welcome. The alpha wants you to meet him at the canteen, he said you can take your time; he’ll wait.”

Quinn tilted her head, but before she could ask anything, Larna walked away.

Meet him…? Why would he want her to meet him at the canteen of all places? Was it because she didn’t eat lunch and now dinner?

Quinn closed the door, walking over to the bed to take a seat. Her eyes stared down at the gift bag for more than a minute before she opened it up, peering inside.

There was a dress, green in color; Castleton green just like the one she’d worn at the celebration party. There was a box, one she was sure withheld a shoes…and along with that was a purse, a necklace, and a pair of earrings.

Quinn quickly closed the bag, looking around with no particular aim. What was he…?

Why did he…?
