The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 65

Upon hearing that, Quinn yanked herself out of his arms and finally looked up at him with wide and angry eyes. “I told you not to come, why did you?!”

“I wasn’t going to…I only came because I was worried, and I’m glad I did.”

“Well, I’m not…there are things that I don’t want you to see.”

“Like what? Like you putting the f*cking speed at four when you could barely manage one?”

“Don’t look down on me, Zayd…this is exactly why I didn’t want you here.”

“I’m not looking down on you, Quinn. Why would I do that?”

“No, Zayd you are…” She marched past him, holding tight to her bleeding arm with her head held down. “The mere fact that you are here simply means you’re looking down on me.”

“That’s a lie, Quinn and you and I both know it. The only reason why I came here is because I was worried you’d over-exert yourself, and you did just that. I wasn’t wrong for coming.” He walked behind her, bearing her injury in mind, while grabbing onto her good arm. “Look, I’m sorry I did what I said I wouldn’t…but if I didn’t come, you’d have gotten injured more severely…you should be thankful.”

Quinn turned to him, and his blood almost ran cold at the look in her eyes and the tears that streamed down her cheeks. “Well, I’m not thankful, Zayd…I’m angry.”

She pulled her arm out of his hand and continued to walk away from him…and Zayd stood in his place for a couple of seconds before coming to terms with what he just saw. He looked up at her retreating form, cursing himself mentally before running to catch her up. “Quinn I…I’m sorry alright…I didn’t know you’d be like this. I was just going to watch…if you hadn’t put yourself in such danger, then you wouldn’t have even known I was here.”

“And you think that would make me feel better? I told you not to come…I didn’t want you to see.”

“Why?”

“I have my reasons.”

“Then tell me, so I can know.”

“I don’t have to tell you.” She shoved the door to the pack house open, walking in the direction of the west wing. “I don’t have to tell you anything!”

“You’re my mate, Quinn…you shouldn’t have to keep anything from me.”

“I’m not your mate…! I can’t even feel the bond.”

Zayd’s steps came to a stop when her words hit him like a brick, and she stopped too, looking back at him with eyes that admitted her regret. “What? What did you just say?”

Quinn bit her lip as she reached for the doorknob in front of her, thankful that she’d made it in front of her room. “I…” She twisted it, pushing the door open and escaping him by stepping inside and slamming her door shut behind her.
