The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate Chapter 130

One of them looked up at her with a look of pity. “I’m sorry, we can’t do that, she’s already dead.”

Delilah’s heart ceased to beat as she glanced down at her mother’s body. There was a deep wound gushing blood across her neck, and her eyes were wide open even though she was…dead. “W-Who?” Delilah stuttered out. “Who did this to her? Who killed my mother?”

Her knees buckled, and she fell on them as a sudden weakness gripped her muscles. She couldn’t define the emotions she felt; she was so angry, so sad…and so confused. “Who did this to mom?”

she asked again, but the men carrying her body only kept walking away

Somebody gripped her arm from behind, pulling her to her feet. “Quit it! Don’t come here and f*cking cry because that witch is dead. Quinn killed her and if Quinn didn’t, then I would’ve been the cause of her death…and Delilah if you don’t leave my pack right now, god so help me, I will kill you too.”

Delilah felt it when the warm tears dripped down her cheeks, her lips opening and closing in sad and immense surprise at Jeovanni's words. “Quinn…? Quinn killed m-my mother?”

“Well, it’s only fair since your mother killed hers. Leave, Delilah.”

“But dad, what about dad?”

“You don’t want to see him, he’s close to dying too. His wolf is dead, and the same poison we’d ruthlessly used on Quinn is now slowly gobbling up his human side. He drank too much of it…Alpha Zayd purposely gave him too much…”

“W-What?” She yanked her arm out of his and rushed into the prison, stopping in front of the cell her father was in. He was on the floor, writhing and groaning, he seemed to be in so much pain. Delilah gripped the bars, ignoring Jeovanni who’d rushed in behind her. “Dad…please, I beg of you, don’t die…don’t leave me, I…I’m sorry…but please, dad…”

He looked towards her; his eyes bloodshot red, teeth clenched. “Delilah…why are you here? Kathrine is…Quinn, she finally did what she was supposed to. I-I knew it was supposed *ugh* to happen, I know Kathrine deserved it…but I still wasn’t prepared, i-*sss* it still makes me sad.” He said in between grunts.

“Don’t h-hate your sister…she was only protecting herself…s-she did what I-I couldn’t, she avenged her mother…she avenged Kathrine’s twin sister; Katherina who she’d killed. I’m sad, but I’m glad Kat can r-rest in peace now…both of them.”

“Dad…what are you saying? I don’t understand…I…please don’t die…”

Her father’s hand clenched against the floor as if the pain he’d been feeling increased. He screamed, a scream that squeezed her heart, one that almost demolished it. His struggle against the floor became fiercer, he was fighting for his life…he was…Delilah knew he was dying.

“Dad…” She sobbed, looking towards the ceiling. “Goddess, please…save him, take me instead…”

Her hands clamped under her chin, desperately rubbing together. If not before, then she regretted everything she’d done now…and she hated the alpha king, she hated Quinn…but most of all, she hated her f*cking self.

She was the cause of everything, Kathrine would not have gone above and beyond for her if she hadn't been crying over Jeovanni on the night of his mating ceremony with Quinn…

If she’d controlled her jealousy…if she’d just accepted the fact that Jeovanni wasn’t her mate, then…then thi~

She looked back towards her dad when his writhing suddenly stopped. He wasn’t looking at her anymore, but when his eyes fixated on her again, they weren’t full of pain anymore…they were just blank. “F-Father…?”

She stuttered out.

He squinted at her. “Who are you? W-Where am I?”

“Dad…w-what are you saying…? Dad, you…you don’t remember me?”

“Where…?” He looked around. “Where is this?”

Jeovanni stepped forward, roughly pushing her away from the bars to open up the cell. “I’m not sure what’s going on…but the only reason why I’m going to take him to the pack doctor is because Quinn asked me to look after him in her absence.”

He grabbed Derrick by the arm, but when he forced him to his feet, he could not stand up, his legs…they seemed limp; dead. “Can’t you stand up?” Jeovanni asked him.

He shook his head. “My feet are…I can’t feel them.”

“F*ck…!” Jeovanni kneeled in front of him. “Hold on to me…the pack doctor might be able to help…it seems the poison might’ve been too much, but not enough to kill you.”

Derrick held around his neck and Jeovanni carried him on his back out of the cell. Delilah followed, sniffling from the prison straight to the pack hospital. Half-way there, her father lost consciousness and even as the doctor assessed him, he still hadn’t woken up.

Delilah looked towards Jeovanni who stood beside her; the man whose mark was still on her. “W-Will he die?”

“I do not know, and I might not even care.”

“Jeo you~”

“Don’t call me by that name…Alpha Jeovanni, use the name the rest of the pack does.”

“A-Alpha Jeovanni I…I’m sorry.”

“Sorry about what exactly?” He walked out of the hospital room, and Delilah reluctantly followed him down the hall. “Are you sorry about what your mother did? How she ruined her life, ruined Quinn’s, ruined her mate’s, ruined mine and ruined yours? Leave Delilah, after what your mother did to me, I don’t even have the f*cking heart to look at you. I’ve never loved you, that stupid potion she gave me forced me to, and now I’ve lost Quinn, and it’s all because of her…all because of you.”

“No, I~”

“Leave…!” The yelled word frightened her in a way that she jumped back with a gasp. “Leave now, for your sake.”

“But our baby…it’s…I mean it’s~”

“Kill it…I don’t want it, I don’t want anything to do with you.”

Delilah’s heart broke for the third time tonight…she felt like it wasn’t in her chest anymore, but instead scattered into tiny pieces in the very pit of her stomach. Her eyes watered as she looked away, hanging onto her stomach. “It’s already dead anyway…that’s what I was going to say.”

She stopped in her tracks, and he stopped walking to look back at her. “I’ll leave, alpha Jeovanni…but I at least need to see that my father lives through this. Let me stay here until he’s better, I promise I’ll leave after.”

“Then do as you wish…” He dug his hands into his pocket and continued on his way.

Delilah rubbed her eyes until they were red as she walked back to the hospital room. Nobody wanted her around, even her own mate wanted her dead…

Did it even make sense she lived on?

A/N// I felt bad throughout this whole Chapter…poor Delilah, she’s now understanding what true pain is…the same pain she’d put Quinn through. Hers is more lethal…so much pain, her life is one nobody would ever wish to live.

I never thought I would…but I f*cking pity her so much!
