The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 62

“Why did you want to come here?”

“Well, I figured that since I have no wolf, then it’s best to improve my combat skills. I haven’t trained in so long, I mean…I never really thought of strengthening the skills associated with my human side, so I’m not good at hand-to-hand combat, and right now, I need to be.”

“I see…I won’t stop you, it’s your choice, but I’d suggest you start from rank one…although even if you start at rank 3, these idiots will still go easy on you.”

“Why?”

Zayd chuckled. “You have my mark on your neck, Quinn. Though you haven’t been officially introduced to the pack yet, they know who you are. Which one of them is foolish enough to hurt my woman? Even if it’s practical training, and moreover, they know you have no wolf.”

“Yeah well…I don’t want that. I prefer they beat me cripple than go easy on me…and if it’s something as petty as pity, I’ll let them know that I don’t want it.”

“It’s not pity, Quinn…”

“Then what would you call it?” Quinn twisted away from the training wolves to look at Zayd. “Anyone would pity me. I’m probably one of the only wolves without a wolf.”

“That doesn’t mean they necessarily pity you and even if they do, it’s inevitable.”

“Then do you pity me too? Be honest.”

Zayd shrugged. “A little…I also feel guilty, I still feel like it’s my fault.”

“But it’s not, you know that, right?”

“Even if you say so, I’ll still feel remorseful. I should’ve been there, I should’ve saved you.”

Quinn shook her head. “No, back then I was more than capable of saving myself…it’s now that I need your help. What time does training end? When can I come here and find the field empty.”

“Most likely in the late night. There’s no specific time for training, the training grounds are never closed, so wolves train whenever they want. However, it is possible to find it empty at night, since that’s when most people sleep.”

“Then tonight…” Quinn told him. “I’ll come back here tonight to train.”

“Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No, not yet…I need a couple of sessions by myself first.”

“Alright, I’ll give you the space you need tonight…I hope it goes well.”

Quinn nodded, glancing down at her hands. “Me too.”

“Are you gonna stay and watch, or do you want to go somewhere else?”

“Where?”

“Well, Isabella likes you. She’s been in malice with me since the night I came because I didn’t give her permission to take you to the hospital.”

“I told you that your words and actions towards her were too harsh.”

“This is normal, Isabella is spoiled…she sulks whenever she doesn’t get what she wants.”

“But still, she’s a girl and an omega at that…as her brother, you should be nice to her.”

“But I am nice to her.”

“So telling her you’ll shove a tree limb down her throat is being nice to her?”

“Well, that’s nice enough.”

Quinn laughed, shaking her head. “Be nice to her for real, Zayd…you never know when you might lose her…I mean, I never once thought I’d lose mine.”

“Let’s not even talk about that redhead viper…she’s a snake, one I should’ve stepped on.”

“She indeed is a snake…anyway, were you suggesting we go see Isabella?”

“Yes…”

“Then, shall we?” Quinn started off away from the training grounds, and Zayd followed her. “I haven’t properly met your father as yet. I barely know his name.”
