The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 66

“I’m sorry I overreacted…I’m sorry for saying something like that.”

“You didn’t overreact, I’m always the one pushing my nose where it doesn’t belong. I deserved it.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Then what else do you expect me to say? Have I not done enough, Quinn? My f*cking mark is on your neck and yet you still refuse to acknowledge me as your mate. What else must I do?”

“Nothing…” Quinn breathed. “I know you’re my mate, I know that…I’m sure of it.”

“Then why is it that those words of disownment are always what you use to hurt me?”

“I know…and I’m sorry.” Her hand reached for his that was clenched by his side, hanging on to it. “I didn’t mean it, It was the first thing that came to my mind…the only words I knew would hurt you.”

“So you wanted to hurt me? Why Quinn? I’ve never thought of willingly hurting you once. Those words made me feel like this love is one-sided. I begged you Quinn, on more than one occasions, I’ve begged you to love me…but you know what? It’s fine if you can’t.” He pulled back, his anger was evident, and yet he was gentle as he unwrapped her hand from around his. “I’m going to bed…go get some rest.”

“I do…” Quinn looked down the hall, avoiding his eyes and instead watching as one of the pack members swiftly approached. “I do love you. I never lied when I said I did. I know you’re mad at me, and you should be, but Zayd I~”

“Go to bed, Quinn.”

“At least listen to me first…or if you must sleep, let me sleep beside you.”

“That would be nice, but I’d really prefer to sleep alone tonight.”

“Zayd jus~”

“Alpha…luna…” The pack member stopped behind her, bowing his head to both her and Zayd. “Do you have a moment, Zayd.”

“I do…” Zayd looked down at Quinn, gesturing to her room beside his. “I’m heading to my office, get some sleep, Quinn…I’m begging you.”

Quinn reluctantly nodded, swiping her red hair back. “I’ll stay in your room until you get back. Is that okay?”

“It’s alright.” Zayd shifted out of the doorway, giving her enough space to walk by him. “I probably won't be back until the sun is out…I’ll see you later.”

He glanced back at her once more before stepping past the door and closing it behind him. He then followed Garth down the hall. “What is it?”

“Dantae and Frederick are back…they are waiting in your office.”
