The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate

When the door to her hospital room opened again, Quinn turned to it, still hoping she'd see Zayd, but it was just her father and the doctor who came in. “How are you feeling, Quinn?”

Quinn stared at the doctor emotionlessly. “What happened to me? I can’t feel my wolf... can’t feel anything...”

“I don't think this is something I should be explaining to someone who just woke up from a coma, but Quinn, you no longer have a wolf. Niphrone has cruelly weakened and destroyed your wolf. Could you please explain what exactly happened on the day you fell unconscious?”

Quinn shrugged, ignoring the tight grip his words had around her heart. When she decided to succumb to her mother's whims, she knew this would've eventually happened, so why in the goddess’ name was she not prepared for it?

Turning away from both the doctor and her father, she breathed out a shaky breath. “I-I don’t know... went into heat suddenly and then my wolf took control...and asked someone to save her.” “I see...that must've been a result of your wolf weakening. It had probably been confused and scared and in pain...it went into overdrive from all the pressure and an immediate heat was the result. Did anything else happen, Quinn?”

Quinn shook her head. “N-No, nothing.”

During her time of hospitalization, her father visited her often, seeming sleep-deprived, but not once had she seen her mother or even her sister. They must've known she was here, dad would've told them and yet, it was only him who came to take her home...struggling with her weight on his back as well as the weight of her bags in his hand.

She sighed, lifting her head from against his shoulder. “You can put me down, dad...I can walk.”

“I know you can...you're strong, even if you don’t have a wolf. I'm only doing this because I want to.” "Have you been eating? Sleeping at least...?”

The man nodded. “I have tried even though I find it hard to...but after what the doctor told me...it became even harder.”

“The doctor...? What else did he say?”

"Quinn, he said that based on your reaction to his questions...it's either you poisoned yourself or you know who poisoned you. I know you didn't poison yourself, Quinn...so tell me, please...who did this to you? Who would you let get away with destroying your life?”

“Dad, I don't...I...I don't know.”

"And somehow, I feel like I do. If my suspicions are correct, Quinn...hell will break loose. It doesn't matter whether you admit to it or not...I will get to the bottom of this. You had such a bright future ahead of you...you could've been such a great luna and now you aren“t even a wolf anymore.”

“No, dad...you can~"

“Hush... I should've investigated this long before now. The first attempt could always lead to a second...and moreover, twenty-one years ago, I've witnessed a loved one dying cruelly at the hands of that poison and the perpetrator has yet to be found. I won't let that happen to you. Whoever it is that did this, I will have them either dead or put behind bars.”

He dropped her bag onto the porch, opening the front door before picking it back up. “I'm sorry this also had to happen to you, Quinn.”
