Alpha's Second Chance

OLIVIA

When I woke up my first thought was, it is today it happened, it is today I am going to do what I had worked for the last three years. I am fighting today, and to make it fair, I am not at any time allowed to use my lycan strength, and I think that is only fair. But I am a little worried about how Skye will handle it because I know how she loves fighting and winning.

I carefully get out of bed and walk into the training room without waking up Logan because I need to have a talk with my dear wolf.

'Skye?' I ask.noveldrama

'I am here.' She answers.

'Remember, today during the competition.' I begin, but she interrupts me.

'I know, I know. I can not use my lycan strength.' She says, sounding grumpy.

'It is important that you listen to it and don't do it, do you understand? This is our chance to compete.' I tell her but she just grumbles and I sigh.

I am trying to think about something I can do so that I will be sure she will do as told when another

powerful feminine voice sounds in my head.

'She won't listen, my queen.' It says, and I know right away it is the moon goddess.

'I will listen.' Skye argues.

'Skye, be polite.' I scolded her.

'I apologize for her behavior, Moon-goddess.' I say.

'You do not have to apologize. I am here because I know how much this means to you, and because I can help you.' The Moon-goddess tells us.

'What do you mean? Help us how?' I ask.

'I can help you make sure that Skye won't use her Lycan side if she gets too riled up by the fight.' She answers.

'How?' I ask.

"I can block your lycan side until midnight. You will still have your wolf and the strength from it, but your

lycan strength will be dormant for the day. And you will be sure that Skye won't use it, even by mistake.' The Moon-goddess explains.

'Skye? What do you think?' I ask her.

'Do it, and I don't want to put us in a bad light to our people just because I can't control my excitement.' Skye answers.

'We accept.' Both me and Skye say.

'Very well.' She says and we hear her say some words that I don't understand.

'Vi lunae deae temporaliter obstruo lycanam potentiam tuam. Usque ad mediam noctem.' (By the power

of the moon goddess, I temporarily block your lycan power. Until midnight.)

I feel a small surge of energy goes through me, but when it is done, I feel a little different when it is gone, not in a bad way. I feel not weak, just different.

'Thank you, moon goddess.' I say.

'Yes, thank you, for helping us once again.' I hear Logan's voice and look to the door and see him standing there looking at me calmly but with a smile.

'Remember, at midnight, it will go back to normal.'

'Yes, thank you.' I tell her.

'You are welcome.' I hear her say before I feel her disappear from our minds.

I look at Logan again and see that he is still looking at me, with a smile on his lips. I walk over to him, and he puts his arms around me.

"I am proud of you. Do you know that?" He tells me while looking at me.

"Thank you," I answer.

"Get warmed up. I'll take care of Rose and Noah and make a light breakfast for you." He says, and I smile at him.

"Okay, thank you," I say, and he kisses me before he leaves.

I had used the last hour to train and warm up and was now coming into the kitchen, where I found Logan and Dad with the kids. Logan had made me breakfast, so I sat down and ate while we were talking, and Dad tell me how proud he was.

After we are done eating, Anna

comes to be here with the kids along with the twins, and Greta comes to keep her company. Greta had told us that she would keep a low profile and stay around the houses for as long as the festival was happening. We knew it was because of the hatred towards half-breeds, especially the ones being half-witch, so instead, she would help look after the kids.

When we came to the arena, Logan gave me a kiss, and Dad gave me a hug.

"Remember, Muffin, We love you." He says.

"That we do," Logan says and kisses me. They leave to go to their seats, and I walk into the separate room where the fighters are.

I am not the last one to come in but those who are already here greet me, and I greet them back, before finding a spot to wait. We are eighteen fighters, and the first nine pairs were chosen randomly, and then we are paired by time, and then so on. After a little while, the last fighters are here, and we are now waiting for Matt to come.

After a bit of a while, Matt comes

into the room and explains all the rules. There are a few more rules for us than the Alphas. Because everyone knows that Alphas are very protective of their Lunas, more than

a

wer-ranked wolf would be When he is done explaining the basic rules, he looks at me and nods his head for me to speak, and I step forward.

"As you all know, I have a lycan side, and it was agreed that I can not use any strength from that coming this competition. And I have, to make sure my wolf won't tap into that strength gotten help from the moon-goddess, who has blocked that side of me for the day. This means today, I fight on fair terms with all of you. I can solely rely on what I have learned growing up, being trained by my father and brother. And the strength from my normal wolf, like all of you." I tell all of them, and they smile and bow their heads in respect. But no one says anything.

"Good, it looks like everyone is good with that. So I will go introduce the battle, and then we start." Matt

says and nods his head to me before he leaves us to wait for the fights to begin.
