A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

“I, King Logan, rejects you; Audrey Chadwick as my mate, Luna to the Royal Moon pack, and Queen to the werewolf race.”

“I love you, Logan. Please don’t do this to me!!” I yelled out, tears pouring down my face. He simply looked at me in disdain, before pushing my hands off him, making me lose balance and falling to the ground. I kept falling and falling through an endless pit, the fear within me massively increasing. “Pleeeaassseee!!” I yelled out in horror.

I opened my eyes weakly, and released a deep sigh. My entire neck was sweaty, and I realized I had also been crying in reality. Instantly, I got off the bed and made my way to the kitchen. I needed a cold glass of water to help my nerves. Wait a minute…. it was morning already? I felt my heartbeat speed up. Ever since King Xavier’s visit to the pack, it felt like my life had turned upside down. We were required to leave for the palace in a matter of 5 days, and each new morning reminded me that we would leave soon.

I know I had always wished to see Logan again, but….. I also knew he still hated me, and it scared me to my bones. Not only did I normally still feel his intimacy with other women, he also chose not to visit our pack himself. He had visited every other pack alongside Beta Liam, to inform them of the impending danger and the need for all supernatural races to unite and fight, but decided to not visit here himself. He asked his father to visit instead. It simply meant that he didn’t wish to lay eyes on me, and it hurt me deeply.

All these were what made me wonder if it was necessary to accompany Denver and the soldiers to the palace. I guess there was no point going.

What disturbed me the most, were these horrible dreams I kept having since the day the king’s father informed us of the new development. I would always dream about Logan rejecting me, and pushing me down to an endless pit. The thought of that alone, made goosebumps appear on my skin.

At this point, I was mentally tired and drained. I didn’t know what to do or think anymore. 4 days had already gone by, and we were supposed to leave for the palace tomorrow. What exactly was I going to do?

‘You do nothing! We have to go!’ My wolf whined in my ears, making me release a sigh.

‘But it’s only going to bring us hurt’. I tried to reason, but it didn’t seem like she was having it.

“Care for some coffee?” I looked up to see Rosa in front of me. I didn’t even realize I had walked down to the living room. She seemed sad, but tried not to show it.

“No Rosa, I’m just fine.”

“Indeed.” She muttered in mild annoyance, walking back to the kitchen, where she had probably come from. I looked at her retreating form, and released a sigh. My mind was actively reeling with thoughts right now. The last thing I wanted was to have a fight with her.

“Rosa…..” I called out, not receiving an answer from her.

I wasn’t deterred though, so I continued either ways.

“Rosa, did I do anything wrong?” She still remained quiet, going on about her business like I didn’t just speak to her. Groaning in apparent frustration, I walked into the kitchen and stood in front of her. “Please, Rosaline…” I sighed. “Tell me if I did anything wrong. I feel like I might go crazy anytime soon, and your current mood isn’t helping.” I muttered.

“I’m fine.” She murmured, not looking at me.

“Goddess!” I exhaled, facepalming myself. “If only I had the your kind of ability to extract the truth from people, I would have just done so to you.”

“Really?!” She yelled out, her eyes getting redder. “You’re leaving tomorrow… you’re leaving me!!” A lone tear finally dropped. “I do not know if you would be safe out there. Emotionally, mentally, and most of all, physically! Yet you need my kind of abilities to figure out why my mood is sour?” Her long butt length hair fell across her eye, and she quickly swept it behind her ear.

“I’m not going.” I muttered. “I’m not going, I can’t go.” I rushed out.

“Why?” She asked, her facing contorting in concern.

“I cannot leave you, Rosa.” I flung my hands in worry and immediately, her facial features softened.

“This isn’t about me, Audrey. And I’m not mad about the fact that you just lied. You’re scared of going to the palace because you believe he still hates you.”

“It’s not about believing, it’s a fact. He hates me. And believe it or not, I already miss you and can’t imagine leaving you here all alone. And then again, I can’t believe you just used your abilities on me!” I yelled in disbelief.

“I’m sorry.” She shrugged. “And you cannot blame me for thinking you were lying. Your fear over Logan hating you, was more prevalent than your worry for me.” She sighed.

“And that hurt you.” I added, to which she nodded slowly. “I’m sorry.” I whispered, looking at her.

“I know.” She mumbled. “And I’m scared. I don’t know if I’d be able to cope without you around….”

“Shhh… Rosa, that’s enough.” I softly chastised. “You can’t keep living your life, totally dependent on the love that comes from me.”

“But that is what keeps me sane!” She threw her hands up in exhaustion. “You’re what keeps me sane. You’re what has been keeping me sane for years now.”

This was a conversation I never wanted to have with her over the years, and even now. Because I was scared to open her old wounds. Before my brother died, he had left a scar so deep within her, that made me for sooo guilty. Somehow, Rosaline found a saviour and family in me, and I have tried my best to remain that to her.

Through the years, I watched her slowly come out of her shell, and try to relate with the pack members. She was still weary of having men around her though, and that was enough to tell me that her past still haunted her.

But even if I knew she hadn’t completely healed from my brother’s abuse against her, I never really wanted to bring it up, scared to open her old wounds which were still in the process of healing.

“When you find your second chance mate, he would keep you sane forever.” I caressed her cheeks. That was truly the closest form of contact I could have with her physically. She was quick to hold my hand closer to her cheek, leaning into my touch with closed eyes.

“I don’t need a mate, Audrey. You’re enough for me.” She sighed.

“But I can’t satisfy you as much as your mate would. I can’t please you sexually. I can’t even bring myself to embrace you properly.”

“Sex is just…. full of pains, Audrey. Nothing to look forward to.” She had a look of disdain in her eyes. How do I tell this woman that my brother happened to have given her the wrong experiences? Sex was one mindblowing thing, especially when it was with your mate. I still couldn’t believe that Denver could be so cruel as to force himself on her continuously. “Moreover, you haven’t had any in years, and you are doing just fine. We can definitely cope together, without sex. I’m all yours. And I would patiently wait for you to return to me.”

I really couldn’t argue, because we both knew I was doomed to never have a second chance mate. And I was no longer inclined to sleeping with just anybody, after Logan. It was safe to say that I was stuck with her indeed. I still loved Logan, but I knew he may never accept me back. All I truly wanted was his forgiveness, especially as I was going to be within same range as him, for the next couple of months.

‘You also do not want him to have a second chance mate’. My wolf reminded me. Hell! That was because I still loved him, and couldn’t help my jealous heart from hoping no one else ever filled that space I used to have in his heart.

More so, I was so bothered about Logan because it was going to be extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable, being the only person that the king hated. In extension, the rest of the soldiers from other packs, would also hate me. I was scared because I may be entering under another phase of hateful scrutiny. That shit hurt as hell.

Releasing a deep sigh, I tried to get connected to Denver through our mindlink. He kept blocking me off, but finally let me in after a fourth try.

‘Dearest cousin of mine, do you realize that I’m trying to savour the last pleasurable moments with my mate, before we leave for the…. royal moon pack?’

‘Calling it ‘the royal moon pack’, wouldn’t make it hurt less Denver.’ I muttered.

‘Why do you sound this way?’

‘I need a favour from you, Denver..’

‘Kill it!! Audrey, kill those thoughts of yours. There is no way in hell, that I would be going for such a terrifying battle, without you by my side. See this as an order from your Alpha.’

“Fuck.” I muttered, blocking off our mindlink.

“What is it?” Rosa rushed out.

“Denver doesn’t even want to hear it at all. He insists I must leave with them.”

“I know I may have complained about you leaving, but you can’t stay back, Audrey. You’re Gamma.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m just….” I paused my words, trying to put my thoughts together. “I’ve been having these dreams, Rosa.” I finally confessed, but her response surprised me.

“I know. But you have to face your fears Audrey. Now is the time.”
