Alpha's Second Chance

LOGAN - One year later.

Today it was a year ago that the war was over, but not without many losses, including our unborn daughter and my childhood friend. In total, we had lost 1273 lives that day. Some packs had chosen to bring the dead ones home to bury after their pack tradition. Others had said yes to having the dead buried here in our cemetery. Our little girl had been buried at the royal wing of the cemetery, and so had Luca. We had gone there as the last ones to have her buried, thinking that it would have been more quiet. But we were surprised to see many wolves from our pack and the remaining packs come to say their goodbyes.

And on the stone was the date and the name, Natalie King.

In the beginning, Liv had tried her best to stay calm and had thrown herself into work and training until she had literally broken down. That is when I for the first time saw her so vulnerable, and I have to admit I wouldn't say I liked it. I prefer it when she is happy and tough when she trains or is with our family. And after she broke down she had agreed to get a little grief counselling.

We had been talking about today and had agreed that we would go visit Natalie's grave today. So I am on my way back to the house to meet her so that we can walk there together. When I get there, I walk in and can hear her and the kids in the kitchen, so I walk out there.

"Hey." Say and smile when I see them, Noah eating carrots and apples cut out and Rose looking like she is waiting.

"Heey Dad," Rose says happy

"Daddy," Noah says.

"Hey, how was training?" Liv asks and smiles.

"Was good," I say, and I see her give Rose a sandwich, and she starts eating.

"Good. Kate will be here soon." She tells me, and I nod my head.

"I thought you had asked Greta?" I ask and she smiles secretly.

"I did. But she has a. Visitor." She tells me and I chuckle.

"Again? I don't understand why they not just admitting it and going public." I say.

"I know, I told her that. It has been a year now. I would say they can be sure they are happy together. And she says she knows." She answers.

After the war, and after we had saved them in the broken safe room, where Desmond had saved Greta just before the vampire would have bitten her, he had taken her to the hospital and stayed with her until a doctor had cleared her. And since he had been here a lot, he was beginning to say he was here to see me. But then we started seeing him leave her house in the mornings.

No one said anything, we know Greta was worried, about how his pack not accepting her, because she was a wolf and witch hybrid.

But in only a few weeks, his pack would be merged fully into ours, and he would step down as Alpha, so she may be okay going public. They are both good people and deserve to be happy.

Kate comes not long after, and Liv and I leave the house. I hold her hand all the way there.

OLIVIA

We were sitting on the ground by Natalie's grave, and I had put the bouquet of white roses by her grave. It meant a lot that Logan wanted to do this with me because it had been a rough year, and I had not been a very good mate. noveldrama

I am sitting in his arms between his legs, and here we sit in silence for a while until I feel a kick. Yes, I am pregnant again. I went into heat almost five months ago, which was extremely emotional for me, but we got through it together. Not long after Dr. Kendra confirmed I was pregnant, this time with twins, which was quite a shock, even more so when we found out they were both girls. I took his hand and put it on my stomach, and I felt the kick again, and I felt him smile against my neck.

"They Kicking." He whispers softly against my neck and kisses me by the hair.

"Yes, they have been very active today," I whisper back and feel his smile again.

"They just like their mom, full of energy and a fighting spirit." He says and I chuckle almost not hearable.

"How will you survive?" I ask, and he chuckles.

"I will be just fine." He says.

"I have thought about names," I say.

"That's good. Did you find any?" He asks me softly.

"Yeah, I thought about calling one of them Nora after my mom," I say and wait.

"I like that, and I had thought about that too." He says.

"And then I thought about calling the other one, Nadia, after your mother," I say and wait, but he doesn't say anything.

"Logan?" I say and slowly turn around so I can look at him. And I see he has wet eyes, and I kiss him softly, and he smiles.

"Thank you, baby, I love that." He says and kisses me back.

"Good, because we needed to find names," I tell him, and he chuckles.

"I know." He answers.

"No I mean, we really needed to find

names, because my water just broke," I tell him, and for a second see panic in his eyes. It's funny no matter how big, rough, or strong a manis, the mere thought of labor can make them panic.

"We have to go to the hospital." He says and stands up. He helped me up and then lifted me.

"I can walk," I tell him.

"Not fast enough." He says and rushes us to the hospital.

When we get there and inside, he starts making orders and calls for Kendra, and I laugh a little. Kendra comes rushing thinking something is wrong, but smiles when I say my water broke.

"My king and My Queen. Let's get ready to meet the new princesses.
