The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate Chapter 135

Jake pulled back up at his pack border in three nights with Delilah by his side. She’d still been weak from the rejection, and that made the journey longer.

Her wolf was so small in comparison to his, so she was slower; slower and yet, a hundred percent more adorable. Her eyes looked the same, they made her seem fierce and yet, the rest of her was screaming harmless.

He wanted to laugh; he couldn’t even tell why he found it funny…but it was. The dark gray color of her wolf was pretty, it blended in well with the black of his. Just as he thought, they were a match made in heaven.

Looking away from her, he crossed the borders, directing his attention towards Garth and the patrollers who greeted him as he changed forms. He was given a robe, which he threw at Delilah. “What happened while I was gone?”

Garth cleared his throat, waiting until he passed to follow him. “Nothing much, Neil and the warriors has returned, he’s in your office at the moment; waiting for you.”

“You should wait there with him, after taking Delilah back, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Yes, alpha.” He swallowed as though he already knew what Jake wanted to talk about. “I’ll be there when you arrive.”

“Go there now, your company back to the cabin is not needed.”

“Right…” He bowed, and then walked away with the patrollers, glancing at Delilah before doing so.

Jake sighed, stopping in his tracks to wait for Delilah, who was still standing on the other side of his borders. “Aren’t you going to come?”

She huffed out a breath, and then he could hear her bones cracking as she changed into her human form. He turned to face her just as she wrapped the robe around her body.

“I’m still trying to figure out…” She paused. “If I’m making the right decision.”

“And are you?”

“I’m not sure, but I already came this far anyway.” She crossed the borders, a step that seemed rushed and anxious and yet reluctant. “Might as well I go further.”

Jake watched as she approached him. His heart didn’t feel heavy anymore, it was as light as a feather, floating in his chest. Every step she took towards him enhanced its beat, and for some reason, he felt nervous.

He knew one wrong move from him could mess all of this up. He didn’t want to open his mouth and say the wrong words, he didn’t want to take the initiative and make the wrong moves, but he also didn’t want his cowardice to halter the progress of this relationship. If he wanted the bond to grow, he had to put his all into it…but exactly where would he start?

He'd never done something like this before, but if nobody knew how to court a woman, Neil did…since he’s back, Jake could probably learn a few tips from him~

Jake’s attention jumped back to Delilah when she gasped, stumbling towards him after tripping over a fallen branch. He caught her before she fell, steadying her. “Are you okay?”

She nodded, blood rushing to her cheeks as she stepped back and away from him, breaking the contact he’d been delighted to have. “Yeah, sorry…” She walked around him, pointing in a random direction. “It’s this way, isn’t it?”

“No, that’s…” Jake grabbed her hand, stopping her. “It’s actually this way.”

He jutted his chin in the correct direction. “I’ll lead the way.” He walked in front, not loosening his grip on her hand. There was something about the skinship between them, something magical. Every touch ignited an uncontrollable fire within him, with her…everything was just different.

No other woman had drawn out this side of him, not even Beatrice. His whole demeanor changed when it came to her, he was softer; weak to her scent and her beauty. She could probably get him to do anything…what she did to him was what he once thought was impossible.

He never believed in love, but right now, he knew for a fact that he was in love.

His hand gripped hers tighter as he continued deeper into the woods until they made it to the cabin. He walked up the three wooden steps that led to the veranda, opening the door and leading her inside.

Their steps echoed down the hall as he took her to the master bedroom. He stopped at the door, finally letting go of her hand, even though he did not want to. “So…we’re here.”

Delilah clasped her hands behind her back, looking at the blank wall that resided behind him. She seemed just as nervous as him, the way her cheeks would redden every time their eyes met and the way she’d lick her lips before even attempting to open them. “We’re here.” She repeated.

“Yeah…” The awkwardness between them was standing so tall that Jake couldn’t see past it. He got the chance he’d begged for, and he was barely making a f*cking thing out of it.

If he had nothing to say to her now, what the f*ck would he say to her tomorrow? No, he was going to see Neil…Neil would tell him what to say…what to do…Neil would be of great help, he was sure…

“You can go in, I’m gonna get dressed and leave for a moment. I’ll, however, send an omega back with some food…please eat and get some rest. After the journey, you must be tired.”

“Okay…”

Even though that was obviously the end of the conversation, they both still stood there, awkwardly staring at each other. Too many seconds passed before Delilah broke the eye contact and quickly latched onto the doorknob. She clumsily twisted it and then pushed the door open, walking into the room.

Jake wasn’t sure why he did it, but when she attempted to close the door, he held it open, looking at her through the small opening. “Delilah…”

“D-Do you…” Her breath hitched…and he wasn’t sure if he was hearing her heartbeat or his. “Do you have anything else to say.”

“No, I…I just…” He opened the door wider, walking into the doorway; right in front of her. His hand reached around the back of her head, holding her steady as his lips pressed against her forehead. “Goodnight, Delilah.”

And then he stepped away. They were together now, this had to be a boundary he could cross.

Her little pink lips wobbled as she nodded at him. “Yeah…goodnight…” And she quickly closed the door, breathing hard enough for him to hear against it.

Jake walked away, ignoring everything inside of him that told him not to. His steps led him up the stairs to his room where he pulled on a shorts and then he walked out the front door.

It was now time to have a friendly little conversation with Garth.

A/N// Hello guys! Sorry for the extra wait! So my readers on another platform have been asking if I’ll be writing a spin-off for Jeo. That wasn’t really planned, but I could jot down something if you guys are up for it too. Because I don’t want to write something no one wants to read when I could be writing a new book.

Tell me what you think!
