The Alpha King Is My Second Chance Mate
CHAPTER 67— AN EXPLANATION

“What?”

Derrick looked away. “Yes...her mother died after giving birth to her.”

“Then Kathrine...?"

“It might not be biologically, but Kathrine is her mother too.”

Zayd's face twisted into confusion. “I don't understand...explain.”

“It's a rare case since twins aren't necessarily popular, but Kathrine had a twin; Katherina and theywere both my mates. Although they were twins and looked almost exactly alike, they were totallydifferent when it came to rank and personality. As you know, Kathrine is an omega, but Katherinawas like me; a beta. Back then, Kathrine had been sweet and innocent; she was more dependentthan a baby...my attention was like air to her. While Katherina; she was stern...aloof and fiery, butshe was filled to the brim with emotion. We fought alongside each other for the pack and went onmissions together, and since Kathrine didn't have the capability to join, jealousy palmed her tight.She often admitted that I loved Katherina more, that I put her twin sister above her...but that wasnever the case.”

He sighed, the breath full of frustration. "However, it got worse when Katherina got pregnant, andshe wasn't. The arguments were only seconds apart, and months later, she demanded that I choose.I told her I couldn't... made it known that I loved them both; equally, but Kathrine walked out sayingthat I'd already made my choice. Months later, she returned after I apologized and told her I'd makeit right, but it was at that time that Katherina started getting sick. Back then we weren't sure whatniphrone was, the doctors only knew it came from a plant. But apparently it had been what slowlytook Katherina’'s wolf away from her. She'd been just like Quinn; but a lot more broken. She barelyate, barely slept, it was as if she'd also lost herself. Quinn came two months early...and Katherina...Katherina didn't survive. All that's left of her is that girl; that girl with the same green eyes hermother had. It's sad and unfortunate that now Quinn is going through the same thing Katherina did,all because of my lack of judgement.”

“I hate him too...however, he doesn't live on my mind like I live on his. He wants his position back,but for as long as I live, he will stay beneath me.”

“Yes...he is no match for a man who is even cruel to his own sister.”

“Shut up...you fool.”

Dantae laughed. “I'm happy you found your mate, her circumstances might not be the best...but sheseems cool.”

“That doesn't sound like something that would come out of your mouth.”

“You're right...I'll be on my way, Rachel will be throwing stones at my head if I stay out any later.Aren't you going back as well?”

Zayd shook his head. “No...not tonight. Quinn and I...I'l just sleep here.”

"What? Had a fight? That's surprising.”

"Yeah...it is."

"Alright...I will not tarry any longer. I'm leaving, get your sh*t figured out soon.” Dantae walked tothe door, saluting as he stepped through it.

Zayd nodded as he left, leaning against his desk. He wanted to see her, but he knew if he did, he'dcave too soon. Quinn needed to know her words and actions could hurt him too. He needed her tosee that he wasn't just a big emotionless wall that she could throw anything at, and it just bouncedoff.

“I'm not your mate...! I can't even feel the bond."

How could she say that and not expect him to falter? He was aware that the bond between themwas nonexistent. His wolf kept reaching out, but there was nothing for him to hang onto...but eitherway, there was love between them, and he wanted it to be enough to keep them together.
