A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

LOGAN’S POV© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

We took our time bathing each other, as I wondered if we were going to be like this again, after the war was over. I prayed in my heart that we won this war, and that Audrey remained by my side. We had just made love in the most intense and extremely emotional way I have ever known. I was pretty much still stoned from the beautiful experience.

I didn’t want to believe that we would soon step out of the bathroom, and gird up for battle.

“What are you thinking?” She asked, hugging me so closely.

“How I don’t want to lose you.” I whispered. “And what are you thinking?”

“How miserable I would be without you.” She sighed, and I felt hot fluid on my chest. She was crying.

“I love you.” I professed, holding onto her much tightly. We could literally break each other, from how strong our hold was.

“I love you. Even in the face of death.” She whispered.

Stepping out of the bathtub, I carried her in my arms and walked into our room. Taking my time, I dried up her body with a large fluffy towel. When I was done, she cleaned me up as well, and then we proceeded to dress for war.

We were wolves, and we didn’t like wearing too much to fight. It pretty much weighed us down, and made shifting a lot more of a hassle. So I just wore my royal breast plate over my shirt and pants, and took my time helping Audrey fasten hers.

“You’re good?” I asked.

“Yeah, just fine.” She nodded.

“Sit.” I pulled her towards the seat in the front of the vanity, and started combing her hair. She just remained silent, looking at me through the vanity mirror as I packed her hair into a ponytail. I gave a small sigh of satisfaction, as her ponytail fell to her waist. Audrey had a very healthy and long hair I had always loved. “Too tight?” I asked.

“No, just fine.”

“I love your hair.” I couldn’t help it, and she gave a small smile.

“I know that.” She nodded.

“Boots.” I squatted and took her legs, placing them on top of my thighs, as I assisted her in wearing them.

Once we were done dressing up, I took her hand in mine, and we made our way out. The entire hallway was busy with other fully dressed officials. Some looked unsure, others looked emboldened. I looked at the Fae King who had a full armour on. Unlike us, the Faes fought in their human forms, so it was only wise to be as protected as they could be.

‘Headed where?’ Audrey asked through our mindlink.

‘The training grounds. All the supernatural soldiers should have been assembled’.

‘Okay’. She nodded.

As we made our way down the staircase, other officials followed us behind, and it only started to seem more real. It was time for war.

The moment we stepped down to the living area, we were met with the others. Layla had been holding on so tightly to Liam, and Emily had been doing even worse to my father. On a normal day, I would have laughed at the overly emotional antics of the women, but not today. Today, there was a possibility that some of these women, which included my sister, may lose their mates.

“Auntie Audrey!” Logan ran towards us, in a fit of tears. Immediately, I looked at Layla.

‘Layla, did you tell him?’ I asked through our mindlink, and she slowly shook her head, ‘no’. I had discussed with her yesterday, and begged her to not tell Logan what was going on. I didn’t want any of these, turning out to be a traumatic memory for him in the future.

“Logan.” Audrey whispered, squatting to his level.

“Mama says you’re leaving. All of you.” He pointed at me in an accusatory manner.

“Sh.. she did?” Audrey stuttered, and he nodded, fresh tears falling from his eyes. Oh, I hated the sight of that.

“Is she telling the truth?” He asked again, and Audrey didn’t know if she should nod in agreement, or shake her head against it.

“Not really.” She sighed. “You see, Auntie Audrey and Uncle Logan, and even Papa…. Grandpa as well…. We are all going to pay the moon goddess a visit.” Instantly, his eyes lit up in amazement. “Buuuttt…” Audrey continued. “But she might decide to keep some of us with her.”

“Why?” He glared childishly.

“If anyone of us impresses her very much.” Audrey shrugged, biting her lips so hard. I could tell she was trying so hard to not cry.

“I don’t want you people to impress heeerrr!!” He cried harder. “Please don’t let her take you away.” He ran into her arms, holding her tightly.

“Shhhh….” Audrey cooed, patting his back softly. “Alright, let’s make a deal.” She suggested, pulling away from him.

“Let’s hear it.” He muttered, and I let out a smile.

“Okayyyy….” She took her time cleaning the tears off his face, and I knew she was just thinking of what to say. She didn’t have any deal in mind, she just wanted him to cease crying.

“The deeeaaalll…” He pushed. At that point, I really didn’t mind that we were wasting our time. I guess I just wanted to watch him one last time, before leaving.

“Alright, alright!” Audrey raised her hands in surrender. “I would give you this.” She circled her arm around her neck, and pulled off the necklace I had given her.

‘I’m sorry’. She muttered through our mindlink, and I nodded in understanding.

“Logan, this is very important to me.” She held the necklace up, for him to see. “I would come back to collect it from you. Is that enough assurance that the moon goddess wouldn’t keep me?”

“Hmm…” He gave a slow nod. “It could work.” He shrugged, making me and some other officials chuckle. Okay, this was really helpful. I could feel the atmosphere getting less tense.

“A kiss?” She asked, turning her cheek for him to kiss, and he obliged.

“Come here.” I lifted him from the floor and hugged him, his small hands encircling my neck.

“I love you uncle Logan.” He whispered.

“I love you too, boy!” I grinned.

“Please come back.” He muttered.

“You know I will.”

With that, I put him back to the floor, and signaled the officials that it was time to leave. Everyone had their last hugs and kisses, and we were set to go.

“I haven’t seen Rosa.” Audrey whispered to me.

“Don’t worry. She’s probably too emotional for a final goodbye.” I reasoned, and she nodded stiffly.

We all made our way our to the training grounds, where the thousands of soldiers had assembled. I guessed it was time for a last speech.

“Great army of the supernatural kingdoms!! It is an honour to be leading you into this war, to defend our honour and protect our people from the planned enslavement of the enemies. Today, lets fight like our lives depend on it, because it actually does! To victory!!” I yelled loudly, raising my arm in the air.

“To victory!!!” They all chorused, and my heart swelled with gratitude.
