The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate
CHAPTER 25— REWARD

Derrick stayed with Quinn for the day, making sure she ate and when the doctor finally gave her thego to leave, he took her home.

Now Quinn sat in her room, wondering if she'd finally gone too far. Her words had been harsh, andher face was nonchalant...he said he'd be here tonight, but after what she'd done, would he evencome?

Alphas treasured their pride, and the fact that she kept throwing stones at his probably angeredhim...had he finally given up now?

The night had gotten darker and yet...and yet, he still wasn't here.

Quinn sighed, laying back on her bed and grabbing onto the black jacket beside her...his scent thatlingered on the thick material was fading away, and one day ahead she knew not even a trace of itwill remain...

Was that what was happening? Was he fading away? Would every trace of him too disappear asthough it'd never been here?

Quinn hugged the jacket to her chest, looking towards the door. Her father was right, she should'vefollowed her heart from the beginning. If she had, then it would've never come to this.

He shrugged. “Do you want me to?”

Quinn didn't answer, and alpha Zayd sighed. “I'm here to tell you goodbye, Quinn. If you everchange your mind and decide to figure out what you truly want, then you can replace me at my pack.”He turned his back to her, hand latching onto the doorknob. He was about to leave...but did Quinnwant him to?

Quinn’s body moved on instincts, it was a rush of adrenaline that forced her to hug around hiswaist, stopping him from going outside...stopping him from leaving her.

“You said...you said..." Her voice was low, filled to the brim with vulnerability. “You said you wouldn'tgive up, you said you wouldn't leave me, so don't.”

Alpha Zayd's hand slid off the doorknob, and he twisted in her arms, facing her. “If I stay...will youstop pushing me away?"

Quinn nodded with her forehead against his chest. Her face was beetroot red now, she'd bedamned if she let him see...but what she hadn't expected was for him to use a finger to lift her face.“Words, Quinn... want to hear you say it.”

Quinn swallowed, his voice was just as melodic as the first time he spoke. There was somethingabout the way his words came out, something that always turned her on. “I...well...I won't... won'tpush you away...not anymore.”

"Good girl, you deserve a reward for that.”

Before Quinn could even process his words, his lips were on hers...swallowing up the nervousnessthat had existed within her. He sucked the soft skin, nibbled it, and then proceeded to enter hermouth with a tongue that made her want more conspicuous.

She held him tighter, breathing in his air, feeling his warmth and wanting even more..

When he pulled away from the kiss, Quinn was panting, green eyes staring into his abyssal ones.“Was that enough? I sure do hope it wasn't because I'm not yet done...for being patient andunderstanding, I do believe I deserve a reward too...right?”

Quinn nodded as though she were in a trance, but wasn't she? His beauty never ceased to amazeher, his charm was a gift, and it so happens that she was the one unwrapping it. “Yes...”
