The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate

Quinn had promised to cook the meat, but then remembered there was no wood to catch fire, nor was there a knife to skin the deer. She sighed as she plopped back down against the grass, looking over at Zayd who was still asleep.

How nice of him to have hunted food and not carry anything to cook it...

In frustration, she hissed, stumping a foot against the forest floor. If she still had her wolf, then she wouldnt have needed a knife to begin with, her claws were sharp enough.

She felt disadvantaged, dependent, she could barely protect herself now, which is why she had to turn to Zayd; someone she wanted to be done with.

Running her hand down her face, she looked away. But as she said before, her current helpless situation was all bestowed upon her by herself. She'd been a fool, and she'd just realized it.

By accepting the poison from Kathrine, what had she expected? An unbreakable bond between them? A healthy mother and daughter relationship?

Quinn scoffed at herself, that might've been what she'd expected, but all she got out of her foolish decisions in the end was a damage that was everlasting.

With her...

The breeze was heavy, and it was cool, and yet she was burning up. It felt like she was in heat, but she knew she wasn't. The crave for sex wasn't there, yet still, she felt like she was tied over a stove of burning coal.

Her running feet came to a sudden stop, and she fell on her bum against the ground, breathing heavy and hard. She could rest, she'd run a long way, Zayd wouldn't possibly be able to find her. Right...?

Quinn looked around, high on alert. Her throat felt dry, she was thirsty, thirsty and hungry...but in her weakened state, how would she find food?

Hours ago, she'd been certain that running away was the right decision, but she wasn't so sure anymore. She stayed at the silver moon all her life, only leaving for missions and pack duties as its luna. At twenty one years old, she never completely fended for herself before and never thought she'd have to.

After all, how could she have been able to predict this future for herself? Back then, she'd thought she'd be with Jeo until she died, she'd thought she'd still have a family; a sister, a father and a mother. But right now, she neither had a mate nor a family, and just having herself to look to...was new to her.

Whenever she needed advice, she'd go to Delilah or Derrick, but now she had to make the hardest decisions by herself. This only meant that life would be much harder to live, especially since she'd kill her own wolf.

But she'd survive...that tree she used to look up to back home wasn't completely dead...it could live, which meant Quinn could do the same.

Groaning, she rolled onto her knees, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she forced herself onto her two feet. She then staggered forward, breathing through the pain, fighting to more than just live through it.

That was until a hand grabbed onto hers...and she knew exactly whose it was. The sparks, the warmth...

She twisted around with wide eyes. "How did you find me?!"
