A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

LOGAN’S POV

I walked into Heather’s room, to see her laying on her back on the bed. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and she looked to be deep in thoughts. I couldn’t believe she’d try to do something like that.

“I hope you’re thinking about your sins?” I asked, startling her in the process. Her eyes fell on me, and she shot me a guilty look. She looked guilty, but not in any way remorseful.

“I didn’t mean to.” She muttered. “Moreover, she hurt me so badly.” She pouted angrily, touching her bandaged head in emphasis.

“Heather, are you kidding me right now? You attacked someone who had done nothing wrong to you! What did you expect when you attacked someone as strong as her?”

“But she did something wrong to you! And now she’s here to destroy our newly found happiness.” She sobbed, and I found myself heart go soft.

“Look,” I sighed. “Whatever scores I have with Audrey, is between me and her. Plus, you don’t have to pretend that what you did was about the scores I have with her. You did this because….”

“Because I am jealous!” She cut me off. “Yes! That is why I did that to her. She should just leave and never come back!”

“That’s impossible, Heather.”

“Seriously?” She asked in shock. “So now, you want her to stay? She has gotten under your skin so fast already? You’ve suddenly forgotten your promise to make me yours forever? Your Luna?”

“Heather, that’s not it!” I yelled out in frustration. “Have you even thought about me all these while? Do you know the agony I’m passing through? I want you, but I can’t have you….”

“But you can!” She rushed out, standing from her bed and coming to hug me. “You can.” She whispered onto my chest. “Just reject her.”

The moment she said that, I couldn’t explain the kind of fear that washed over me. The feeling itself was frightening, because I can’t remember the last time I was scared about anything. Weakly, I pulled away from her hold.

“Heather, this is a time of war. The people need a true Luna. They’d hate me if I reject her, don’t you understand?”

Her face fell, and she turned and walked back to her bed. “Fine then.” She sighed, not sparing me a glance. “Go be with your ‘true mate’. I’m clearly not good enough.” She muttered, before laying with her back facing me. I knew she was hurt, and it hurt me as well. But both of us were currently not in the right state of mind to discuss anything now, so I walked out of her room. While I walked away, I could hear her sniffles through my vamp hearing, and I felt sad. I’ve never wanted to ever be the cause for Heather to cry. As far as I could remember, she had been an amazing friend. How did we come to this? Why did Audrey decide this was her best time to show up?

I walked back to my chambers in dampened spirits, only to find an angry looking Layla in my room. Oh, goddess! Not now. I didn’t have the strength for any back and forths. She stuck out her nose and sniffed me. Seriously?

“Really?” I asked in disbelief.

“Heather.” She shot back.

“My girlfriend, so?”

“How do you even sound to yourself?” Layla released a humourless laugh. “You have a mate for crying out loud! Same mate that your precious Heather almost hurt today!”

“But she’s fine!”

“Are you kidding me??!!” Layla yelled in annoyance, standing from the bed and walking towards me. Though she was still a good 2 feets below me. “You knew that Heather had been the one who defaulted, yet you went ahead to humiliate Audrey in the presence of everyone?”

“Cut it out, Layla. I didn’t know it was Heather’s fault, when I yelled at Audrey. It was only after the officials had excused us, that I realized.”

“And what was the ‘kingly’ thing you did? You still degraded her with your mean words, and threatened to punish her?”

“I threatened to punish her before I knew Heather was at fault.”

“Oh really? So now that you know Heather is as fault, what punishment would you give her?”

“What?” I asked in shock.

“Yes, Logan. You heard me right. It’s either you punish that ill mannered girlfriend of yours, or I tell father what really happened.”

“Leave father out of this, Layla.” I warned.

“Good enough. That might work.” She nodded, anger still evident in her eyes. “Since I have to leave father out of the options, you choose between these two. One, you give your girlfriend a befitting punishment for her crimes. Two, you give Audrey a heartfelt apology for being a douchebag.”

I couldn’t help but release a chuckle. “So you’re now teaming up with Audrey? So she put you up to this?”

“No one put me up to anything, Logan! You know me, I would never stand on the wrong side of things.”

“What if I refuse to do any of these things you’ve asked?” I challenged.

“Ohhh Logan. You don’t want to know what I would do. Trust me when I say that.” The stern look in her eyes showed that she wasn’t bluffing.

“Look, I can’t apologize to her. I would never! Do you know the huge quarrel she just caused between Heather and I?”

“This is not typical of you, brother. Putting the blame on others.” Layla scowled. “Audrey never asked Heather to infiltrate her mind, neither did she ask her to say all those provocative things to her!”

“Things like what?”

“Things like ‘you belong in between her thighs alone’!”

“What?”

“Yes. That is what your girlfriend was busy telling your MATE! I’m giving you two days to to either give Audrey an apology, or punish Heather. Failure to do that and by the goddess, you would feel my wrath.”

Without waiting for me to say anything else, Layla walked away angrily, muttering curse words underneath her breathe. Great! Now my twin sister was fighting with me. All because of Audrey.

2 DAYSATER

I was aggressively hitting the punching bag, while recalling my conversation with Heather yesterday. She had adamantly refused to humiliate herself before Audrey by serving any punishment for her actions. That left me with no choice, than to offer an apology to Audrey today. Layla had given me just two days, and the time has elapsed.

“Your majesty.” I turned to see one of the guards in my private training area.

“Yes, Bruno?”

“The royal Beta has asked that I inform you that the sparring match just began. He insists you should be present, as all the officials of the four races would be present.”

“Alright. I would be there in a bit.” I replied, and he left. After throwing a few more punches, I took my water can and walked out of the training room. I rushed to my chambers for a quick shower, after which I dressed up and made for the field.

I got there and the entire place was crowded. There were a lot, and I was sure that there were a lot more people who didn’t show up.

“Uncle Logan!” I looked down to see little Logan running towards me.

“Oh boy!!” I grinned and scooped him into my arms.

“I’m not a baby, don’t carry me that way.” He pouted, and I couldn’t help my amused expression. Since when?

“Hmmm, I thought you loved being in my arms?” I feigned hurt as I walked towards the reserved seats for the high officials. It was at the topmost part of the field, giving us a very clear view of all that was going on.

“I do, but not like a baby. Like a man.” He pouted.

“That reminds me!” I blew hot air onto his neck, making him laugh. “Why have you missed our private library moments these past two days?” I asked? I had noticed Logan’s interest in reading at such a young age, and nurtured it. Unlike most pups his age, he was very fluent in speaking, and was trying his best in reading. Most times, we spent the evenings at the library, where I’d read stories to him. It was weird, but I found it so easy to discuss with him, regardless of how little he was.

“Wellllll…” he giggled, and I noticed his cheek turned pink. Was he blushing right now? “I have been reading!” He smiled mischievously.

“That’s a lieeeee…” I dragged.

“That’s true!” He insisted. “I’ve been reading with someone special.” Someone special that wasn’t me??

“Logan!” I looked forward to see father waving at me. Uncle Justin, Liam, and Layla were already seated. There was a unoccupied seat between Father and Layla, which I simply took. Next to father, was Emily who looked unusually excited.

I sat down with Logan on my thighs, and whispered to my father’s hearing.

“Who is opening the floor today?”

“Not sure, but I heard it’s…..” He was still talking when the vampire commentator interrupted.

“Hello everyone! My name is Gerald, and I’m your commentator for today’s match! Now, let’s give a solid round of applause for our first sparring match!!” Everyone clapped, as loud howls of excitement filled the place. Okayyyy, they weren’t acting like people in the middle of a crisis. It was uplifting to see.

“The first people to open the sparring floor areeeee….” Gerald dragged, making some people chuckle. “We have, royal Beta Justin and Gamma Audrey of the blood moon pack!!!” Interesting.

“Whooooo!!!!” The crowd cheered, a huge contrast to my straight expression. Uncle justin made his way towards the middle of the field, where the spar ring was.

“Auntie Audreyyyy!!!” Logan clapped his tiny hands gleefully, and I couldn’t help my shock.

“You…. you know her?” I muttered, and he nodded positively, his eyes watchfully waiting for her to step out to the spar ring.

“She’s my special person.” He mindlessly replied, and I felt my heart falling to the pit of my stomach. After I regained myself, I looked beside me to see if father had heard him, but the man had his eyes fixed on someone else. Emily, who was just as excited as little Logan.

“I place my bet on Audrey!” She announced, catching Liam’s attention.

“Audrey may be strong, but she definitely wouldn’t beat my father. That’s just impossible.” Liam snorted. “I place my bet on my father.”

“I place my bet on Auntie Audrey.” Little Logan grinned, making me even more uncomfortable.

“Logan!!” Liam chuckled in disbelief. “You wouldn’t choose your grandpa?”

“I love grandpa, but I choose Auntie Audreyyyy.” He said. Oh, goddess!!

“Fine then!” Father announced. “May the best man win. I would be gifting little Logan whatever he wants, if Audrey wins.”

“Father.” I muttered in disbelief.

“Fair enough!!” Liam clapped his hands in excitement, already knowing his son would be very disappointed.

We all knew Audrey didn’t stand a chance against uncle Justin. The loud cheers from the soldiers of the blood moon pack literally blocked my ears, and I looked forward to see that Audrey just joined uncle Justin on stage. She had been putting on a tight shorts that emphasized her generous derriere, and a bralette that was skimpy enough to outline her slim waistline. I hated the fact that my wolf was howling at that sight.

‘What a great body!’ My wolf simped helplessly, and it only irritated me. ‘Our mate is…..’

‘Shut the fuck up!’. I cut him off.

The next second, the bell resounded, indicating the start of the match. The whole place instantly went calm, as we fixed our eyes on the two opponents.

They both followed each other’s movements in a predatory manner, waiting for who would launch the first attack. They went in that manner for the next couple of seconds, until uncle Justin eventually launched the first attack. Audrey defended smoothly, earning some cheers from the crowd. Uncle Justin made another plunge at her and this time, she gave into the fight. That was how a tough fight of 15 minutes began.

I hated the fact that she surprised me! Why was she able to fight uncle Justin so effortlessly? At this point, even Liam couldn’t believe his eyes. I earnestly prayed in my heart, that she didn’t win, but little Logan continuously countered my prayers with his own, every minute.

“I pray Auntie Audrey wins.” He sighed, probably tired of the endless struggle for dominance, between his grandpa and Audrey.

All so suddenly, Audrey staggered backwards, almost as if she was about to fall. And just when uncle Justin tried to take advantage of the situation, she bent soooo low, avoiding his attack and getting steady on her feet again.

Uncle Justin tried to throw another punch at her, but she effortlessly threw herself up in the air, and hit uncle Justin’s chest with both her legs. We thought that was all, until she jumped into the air again, but this time, she was landing on uncle Justin in her wolf form. What the fuck?! Did she just shift in the air??

The loud howls and cheers in the field made me confused for a minute, until I refocused my eyes on the field, to see uncle Justin on the floor, with Audrey’s wolf snarling it fangs against his neck. She just won the freaking match! Fuck.

“Did you see that?!!” Layla aggressively nudged Liam, her excitement over the top. “Audrey just won!!”

“Auntie Audreyyyy!!!!” Logan yelled out in happiness. Emily’s mood wasn’t far off either. The whole place was literally in a fit. I still found it hard to believe that uncle Justin lost to Audrey. I felt…Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

‘Brother, things just got even more exciting!’. Layla’s voice filtered through my mindlink.

‘What?’ I asked in annoyance.

‘Your girlfriend just mindlinked me. She is ready to serve whatever punishment I choose to give her. Now, that’s what you call a total win’.
