A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

LOGAN’S POV

I stared at her in disbelief, trying to understand why she did what she did.

“Why did you?” I asked, trying my best to remain calm. Ever since she showed up, it was from one problem to another. I haven’t had a moment of peace!

“I didn’t!” She insisted, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. I was just tired of her, trying to use her tears to make me feel bad.

“I guess this would be the hundredth time I would be saying this, but I really don’t care. Your tears do not move me.”

“Fine! What then, do you want me to say? That I was walking past her and decided to pour hot cup of tea on her back? I’m not heartless.”

“Oh, please!” I scoffed, unable to hold back my laughter. “Indeed.”

“Logan, that’s enough. Audrey here, insists it wasn’t intentional.” Father supported. Really?

“I can’t believe you guys right now.” I muttered in disappointment. “A week back, Heather was being punished for….”

“For a crime she committed!” Layla cut me off. “Isn’t it clear that Audrey didn’t do this?”

“Is that even a question?” I shot back.

“Yes, Logan! It is a question. Why would she do something that she knows would get her implicated? And why would she even do so, openly?”

“Why wouldn’t she go ahead and do it, when she knows she has the unwavering support of you all, to keep doing evil?! And all for what? For the attention of a man who doesn’t give two fucks about you?!” I yelled in her face, making the tears finally drop down her eyes.

“That’s not a kind thing to say.” Father glared at me, but I could care less.

“Layla, since you’re so good at dishing out punishments to defaulters, I suggest you do so now.”

“I wouldn’t dare!” She yelled back at me.

“Trust me, you don’t want me to give her that punishment myself.” I chuckled dryly.

“Logan, what is wrong with you?! She said she didn’t do it intentionally.” Layla tried to explain, but I was gone past that.

“Then who did?!”

“I did.” A different voice said.

We all looked to the door, to see a very remorseful looking Isla standing there. Oh no, Isla please.

“Isla?” Layla called in confusion. “What does this have to do with you?”

Isla took a deep breathe, before stepping into my study. She locked eyes with Audrey, who still had tears rolling down her cheeks.

“I was there when it all happened. Audrey isn’t to be blamed. I am.”

“How?” Liam asked, looking impatient.

“I made the cup fall off her hand, knowing she hadn’t seen Heather underneath the table.”

“Why?!” Layla asked in confusion.

“I’m sorry.” Isla rushed out. “Logan I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through, before doing what I did. I’m sorry.” She pleaded, and slowly turned to Audrey. “Audrey, please forgive me.”

“Thank you for speaking the truth, Isla.” Audrey muttered amidst her tears, before sparing me a quick glance and walking out of the study.

How I felt? Stupid. And guilty.

My family had their eyes on me now, and for the first time since Audrey got here, I felt sorry for something.

****

“You owe her a sincere apology.” Layla lowered herself beside me, as we watched Audrey train alongside the other wolves.

“I know.” I nodded. “And I will.”

“It happened two days ago, and you’re yet to.” I was surprised at how calm she sounded. “Logan, it’s been two weeks since Audrey returned to the palace, and you’ve treated her with nothing but disdain and disrespect. You have to fix your ways, because you may never have this chance again.”

The next minute, she stood up and walked away, leaving me to my thoughts. Fine. I was going to render an apology to her later today. But that was all it was going to be.

Just then, I noticed some wolves pointing at me, and I wondered why. I tried to focus my hearing on their conversation, but someone called my attention.

“Your majesty.”

“Yes?” I looked up to a vampire guard.

“Ares is requesting for a spar match between you both.” He pointed to a corner and I saw Ares wave at me.

I hated the feeling seeing him brought. I know I had always disliked his temper but now, I couldn’t tell why I was extremely angry, just at seeing him.

“He has also asked that I return with your answer to his request. A yes or a no.”

I glared in my head. The bastard knew what he was doing. If I refused to spar, then it simply meant that I was scared of losing to him.

“I accept.” I heard myself say, before standing from my position and walking into the training grounds. Immediately, all eyes fell on me.

“Ares!” I forced a smile onto my face. “It would definitely be my pleasure to spar with you.”

“No, not at all.” He chuckled. “The pleasure is all mine. Fighting with the almighty hybrid is a huge flex.”

“Tribrid.” I corrected. “Ryan is the hybrid.”

“Ohh, my apologies.” He muttered, his eyes fixed on me. Now everyone’s attention was completely on us, and I heard Liam’s voice through my mindlink.

‘What’s going on here?’ I looked back to see he and Ryan making their way into the field.

‘The darned second in command vampire, has asked me to spar’.

‘Interesting’. Liam muttered, before closing off our mindlink. Interesting indeed.

By then, Audrey and the other soldiers were walking down to where we stood.

“Is a spar ring necessary?” Ares asked, and I shook my head in negation.

“I want as much space as I can get, to run around.” I smiled.

“Just great.” The next second, he was behind me. “Let the game begin.” He whispered to my hearing.

*******

I looked at a happy looking Ares, and it left a bitter taste on my tongue. I thought he wss probably gonna be absent from dinner, licking his sore wounds over losing to me. Yet, here he was, chatting away with that mate of mine.

“Are you fine?” I heard Heather mutter beside me, and I nodded. “But you’ve barely touched your meal.”

“I’m just fine. We should be more worried about your wound.”

“It has completely healed, love. Nothing but a scar is left.”

“Great.” I flashed her a smile.

“So, I was thinking….” She began. “Could we spend the night together? We haven’t reallly had so much time to spend with each other, since the other pack soldiers arrived.”

“I know.” I nodded. “Sure.” I smiled. “Let’s spend the night together.”

“Thank youuuu.” She grinned and dropped a kiss on my cheek. Father flashed me a glare, and I released a sigh.

“I think I would be retiring for the night.” I made to stand up from my seat, but his words made me sit back.

“Not yet. Please sit.” He requested, which I obeyed, hopping this wasn’t a call for yet another drama. “Almost two weeks ago, I had promised to gift my grandson whatever he wanted, if Audrey won the spar against Beta Justin.”

“Interesting.” Uncle Justin smiled.

“Indeed.” Father nodded. “So, I have asked him what he wants, and he’s told me.” He smiled. “He wants the king’s personal library, to be exclusively open to him and Audrey.”

I sat still in shock, as my eyes landed on Audrey who was still so engrossed in her disussion with Ares, oblivious to what we were speaking about.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t allow that.” I calmly responded.

“Oh, I wasn’t asking for your permission, son. I was simply informing you.” He was the one who stood from his seat now. “Send Audrey a spare key to the library, before dusk tomorrow.” With that, he walked away like he hadn’t just pissed me off. I looked at Layla and Liam, who looked surprised as well. No one had actually thought Logan would request for such. They all knew how sacred my personal library was, to me.

I stood up and made my way out of the dinning room, Heather following behind. We got to my chambers and I proceeded to change into my sleep clothes. Heather on the other hand, changed into one of my big shirts.

“Could you give me a spare key too?” She suddenly asked, making me chuckle for the first time since father gave me that annoying order.

“Why?”

“So I can read, obviously!” She replied, sounding slightly offended.

“Heather, we both know you have never loved books. You do not have any passion for reading. I literally have to beg you to join me sometimes. You’re only doing this because….”

“No need to say it.” She cut me off, sighing and walking towards the bed. I didn’t get it. Was she angry now?

“Heather.” I called, but got no response from her. Great. She was mad.

Assuring myself that she was going to be in a better mood tomorrow, I laid on the bed and pulled her closer to me.

Several minutes passed, and I suddenly remembered I had something to do. I looked at Heather to see her already fast asleep.

I gently got down my bed, and made my way out of my chambers. I walked through the first and second hallways, until I came to a stop in front of Audrey’s room. Releasing a deep breathe, I knocked on her door twice, and waited for an answer.

“Who?” She asked, and I went mute. After an awkward moment of silence, she called my name. “Logan?” She had probably sniffed me out.

The door was pulled open, and she wore a straight look.

“Good evening.” I managed, and she nodded.

“You need anything?”

“No, not really.” I quickly scratched my jaw. “I just wanted to apologize about the other day.”

“What other day?” She tried to feign ignorance.

“I said mean things to you, when you had done nothing wrong. And I’m sorry.”

“Okay.” She shrugged. “Anything else?” She asked, and I shook my head ‘no’. “Alright then. Goodnight.” She said and shut the door on my face. Did she just….?
