The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate Chapter 108

“When did you find out?”

“Yesterday, Frederick had insisted I went to see the doctor even though it was extremely late. I went and that’s when I found out…”

“I’m sorry you had to wait so long for my return…I had to meet somebody.”

“Who?”

“It’s no one impo~”

“And you’re lying to me again…why?”

Zayd sighed, looking down at her when she raised her head to stare at him. “I just don’t want to put too much on your shoulders. You’ve already gone through enough, making you still work would make me just as bad as him. I mean, you were demoted to a beta right after you were rejected and forced to work alongside him even though you were still suffering…I don’t want you to ever feel like you have to help with everything in order to be considered a part of this pack. I remember what he told you the night he took you away from me, something about not doing your job as beta could get you kicked out of the pack…should’ve kicked his f*cking teeth in.”

“Stop…he apologized, you heard what Kathrine did to him. I couldn’t believe it, she went that far just to make sure I ranked below her daughter.”

“That doesn’t excuse his behavior…you even hugged him, and then refused to let me touch you. I felt like I could die.”

“No, I was angry…I still am. You went behind my back, Zayd and told me you were going out for business with some random pack.”

“I didn’t lie…I told you I had business with a small pack and I did…I just didn’t tell you the entire truth. If you knew I was going to your old pack, you’d have stopped me, and I didn’t want that. I wanted to get things over with…I didn’t even want you to know. I knew you’d be angry, I knew you’d hate me…but I still wanted to be the one who gave them their karma regardless of how you’d feel… However, you ended up ending Kathrine yourself…”

“I didn’t plan to…I did it and now I kind of regret it. I feel like I did something wrong.”

“You didn’t, if anything…you did good, and I’m proud of you. You avenged yourself and your mother, who fell victim to the same thing and died unfairly.”

“Father will suffer because of it.”

“He should…he wasn’t a good father to you or a good mate to your mother.”

“No, he wa~”

“I won’t listen to anything that you have to say about him. Keep your opinion…I’ll keep mine. Nothing will make me hate him less, not even you.” He buried her head back against his chest. “Sleep, you said you haven’t slept for three nights…you need rest and so does my little one.”

Quinn closed her eyes, breathing in his scent and snuggling against the bulging muscles beneath his thin, white shirt. “If you lie to me again and do something like this, I won’t talk to you and I f*cking mean it…tell me everything; about you and about the pack. I don’t mind working, it’s something I have to do as luna, something I can’t avoid…so stop shielding me from my duty.”

“I get it, I won’t.”

“Good…” And in the lingering comfort of his arms, she soon fell asleep.

Days passed, which turned into weeks and then months. Zayd told her about his alliance with the serpents, he’d sat her down and told her everything he’d previously refused to.

After which, she started to help around with the pups, she’d even made friends with the elders and on the few days they had meetings, he’d let her speak, so the pack could get more familiar with her.

She helped in the office too, with the invitations and with other things that concerned his pack and even others. Close to the second month of her pregnancy was when she’d finally started to show, the bump was small, but Zayd had noticed it, and he’d been so overjoyed.

She’d been happy too, that wide grin that had been on his face had forced one to appear on hers. A little Zayd would soon be running around…a little man that would undoubtedly look just like him.

Zayd spoke to him. Every night before bed, he’d kiss her stomach and whisper a loving good night to his son…and tonight was no different.

It was the night of the meet and greet, she was four months pregnant now, only weeks away from giving birth. Zayd had helped her into her dress after rubbing and kissing her bare stomach. He told the boy to behave since he sometimes liked to make himself known by outrageouly kicking around in his current home.

The dress he helped her put on was a burgundy dress that flowed just above her knees. It was loose around her round and protruding stomach as to not hurt her baby, and her shoes were flat because she couldn’t wear heels.

Since Marcia and Rachel left a week early to deal with the decorations as well as the welcoming of guests, Quinn had to comb her hair herself…and since she felt too lazy to do too much, she’d let it loose and have Zayd clumsily curl the strands with a curling wand.

He’d burnt her ear once and though it took hours for her to forget about it, she eventually did.

“Babe, are you ready now?”

Quinn looked back at him, hanging onto the pendant on the necklace he’d gotten her for her birthday. “Yeah…”

“Let’s go then, we’re late…Marcia is going to have a good time scolding us.” He took her hand, leading her out of the room. He was wearing a burgundy suit with a white undershirt. They were supposed to wear matching colors and Quinn chose burgundy because it matched that single line of color that glided down his wolf’s spine.

He was the star tonight… everything should be about him…

They met Frederick, Dantae and Devin outside where the cars were parked.

“I’ll drive.” Dantae immediately spoke out and Zayd shook his head. “No, last year you almost crashed…plus, it’s Frederick’s turn anyway, next year it will be mine.”

“Fine, fine…I’ll just sit in the front.”

He walked around to the front seat, opening the door and settling inside. Zayd opened the back door for Quinn, helping her in and then taking a seat beside her. The head warrior sat on the opposite side of them.

As soon as Frederick settled in the driver’s seat, he started up the car and started the drive. It wasn’t a long drive, it lasted up to an hour or so and when the car parked among the many others in front of a huge, white building…Zayd got out and helped her out too.

The building was full of lights. There was a water fountain at the front with a wolf statue in the midst, and pawn trees paved a path to the wide-open double doors at the front.

Quinn was in awe, she’d never seen anything this pretty, and she had a feeling that the inside would be even prettier. Zayd held out his hand to her, and she took it, giving him the honor of leading her down such a fine path.

Their other companions followed them, Dantae and Frederick in the back indulging in a conversation that was going absolutely nowhere and Devin was quiet.

Zayd led her through the doors and her mouth fell open at the interior. It was bright, the chandeliers on the ceiling hung with a beautiful glow above their heads. There was a long staircase up ahead, carved in such a unique manner.

The floor they were on was filled with people; however, the building was big enough to grant each and every one their own space. There was a large table in the center where there were bottles of whine and spare glasses to pour it in…

This was all so beautiful…she loved it. She wished she’d be able to drink some of the wine, but she wouldn’t ever risk hurting her little one.

Zayd walked further inside, soon catching everyone’s attention. Their bows and greetings were uncoordinated, but the respect in each could be heard…

Tonight seemed like it’d be a good night…
