The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate Chapter 85

The silver chains burnt Quinn’s hands and feet, they made her feel nauseous, creating a fervent fire that kept drifting higher and higher up her body.

She knew silver was harmful to werewolves, it weakened them, made it impossible for them to change forms or to even regain the strength it took. But why chain her in them when she didn’t even have a wolf…? And why exactly was it hurting her?

Quinn adjusted herself on the floor, positioning herself on her knees. Since she had no wolf, she wasn’t supposed to be in pain…so why…?

Her teeth gritted, forcing back the whimper that threatened to slip out of her mouth. Jake was watching, waiting to see her waver…even when she was weak, she should portray that she was strong.

Twisting towards him with eyes that held a dangerous grudge, she scoffed. “What now?” Her breaths were heavy, even as she tried to steady them, and her head was spinning. “What will you do to me now?”

“Nothing…I’m just going to leave you here for a few days. The more anxious he gets about your whereabouts, the more advantage I’ll have over him. I want worry to drown him, not knowing if you’re alive or dead…will definitely kill him on the inside. There’s no matebond, he won’t be able to tell. I wonder though…” He stepped closer to her. “Will he really come to your rescue? A wolf-less she-wolf will eventually be a worthless luna. Does he love you enough without the bond?”

Quinn’s heartbeat picked up and he chuckled. “Look…even you’re having doubts…it’s written all over your face. The lack of confidence you have in him.”

“No…” Quinn shook her head, despite how much more dizzy the action made her feel. “I am confident. If I know nothing else, I know he’ll come for me…I know he’ll save me. Unlike you, he is a man…he’d never abandoned me in the beginning, what could possibly make you think he’ll do it now?”

“Your mouth is…god…such a feisty mouth would do well around my c*ck.”

“This feisty mouth can only fit around one man’s c*ck, and it’s not yours. I’m sorry, but this kitten bites strangers.”

Jake laughed, leaning down to grab her face. “I really want to see it, the dismay on your face when I have my teeth around your god’s neck. All that confidence you have will drain away along with his life.”

“That’s something that will never happen. I know he won’t lose, he’d beaten you when he had nothing to protect and now that he does, he’ll only come harder. You’re going to lose your life, you’re going to die.” A smile slipped lopsidedly across her lips as his grip on her face tightened; a smile filled to the brim with confidence. “Cheers to you digging your own grave.”

He shoved her back and then turned away from her. “Delusion is a sickness that you seem to have…but we’ll see whose words will come to past.”

He walked towards the exit, and it was then that Quinn’s dizziness got the best of her. She coughed, heaving up a mouthful of blood.

Jake looked back at her, then at her father, who’d suddenly burst through the door. He bowed his head. “Alpha please…” He begged. “You promised not to hurt her…if you’re not going to let go of Delilah, then at least spare Quinn of the pain. The silver…it’s hurting her.”

Jake sighed, patting Derrick’s shoulder. “Isn’t a puppy supposed to look up to its master? Beg properly, you dog…on your knees.”

When her father fell to his knees before that jerk, Quinn wanted to vomit again, to gouge out her eyes. This wasn’t a scene she wanted to see…why betray her and then beg for her life?

Quinn didn’t understand this. Her father was breaking himself, killing his pride. He was acting like a real dog and Quinn hated it.

“Please…I’m begging you, spare her. I know she disrespected you, but punish me instead.”

“Now that’s better. Tie her with ropes, Josh, and chain him with the silver instead…we’re leaving now, Zayd will be showing up on my pack lands soon.” Jake shoved her father out of the way as he walked outside.

Quinn hated him, there was so much bitterness in her heart for this man…she really hoped Zayd would kill him soon.

|-_-|

Zayd slammed his hand against his desk as he looked at Frederick and Dantae. “I hoped that it wouldn’t come to this…I really did, but f*ck…I can’t believe Derrick woul…I don’t understand this.”

“We’re not sure of anything…”

“No, we are. Larna confirmed it, that witch I’d saved and taken in. She was but a child when she came here, and she has the nerve to go against me?”

“What if her father didn’t take her to Jake?”

“Why kidnap her and then stray away from the plan? She’s in his hands, Dantae! And I swear to the goddess I’ll kill him myself. Jake…her father, her mother…and if I ever get my hands on her sister, I’ll kill her too. I knew something had been wrong, I knew Jake was scheming. I was too anxious, I should have expected this much.”

“What are we going to do? What’s your plan?”

Zayd sighed. “I need to set the date, he won’t keep her on his pack lands since we could raid it. I only hope wherever she is, she is okay.”

“By date, do you mean for the battle?”

Zayd nodded. “It’s going to happen, Dantae. When I ascended to the alpha king position, I knew people would stand against me for the title…this is one of those moments. It’s just that Quinn got caught up in the middle of a battle she can’t even fight. F*ck! Let’s just head out…to Jake’s pack. That’s obviously what he wants.”

Dantae and Federick nodded, leading the way out of the office. Three days had passed since Quinn had been taken. Zayd had travelled to Jeo’s pack and confirmed that her father didn’t bring here there…now it was time to visit Jake.

He’d already questioned and slaughtered Larna. The men she’d drugged confessed that she’d been the one who brought them drinks, and Rachel had tracked her down and brought her out of hiding.

It seemed her mate was Jake’s beta, and he’d been the one to put her up to this. He’d used and abandoned her, and Zayd felt no pity when he’d ripped off her neck.

She must've felt guilty, if she'd poisoned his men instead of just drugging them, then perhaps she would've gotten away...it was as if she wanted to be caught...as if she wanted to pay for her betrayal...

Zayd didn't really care though, this was just the beginning, he had so many more heads to rip off.
