A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

I looked at Rosa, still reeling from the happiness of having her here, and the anger of Ryan breaking her heart.

“He didn’t break my heart.” She glared at me. She could always tell what I was thinking.

“Of course, he didn’t. You broke his. It’s his loss.”

“I didn’t break his either. And yes, it’s his loss. I never even wanted him in the first place.” She rolled her eyes, cleaning the remnant tears under her eye lid. “I’m happy to be here with you.” She suddenly changed the subject, making a wide grin appear on my face.

“I’m happier, Rosa. I am so happy, that I could possibly break your bones if I hug you. But then, you just found your mate in a very unusual manner, and even though I have a lot of questions to ask you, I would rather sit beside you, and wait for you to get over this humiliating experience.” At my words, she sniffled, releasing hot air from my mouth. Oh, my Rosa. Her eyes were so red, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me why she cried so hard. She felt she wasn’t good enough. Andrew had always made her feel that way, and Ryan only made it seem like it was true.

I could bet that if Ryan had been the least bit excited to find her, Rosa would have rethought her decisions about not wanting a mate. Now, his behaviour would only solidify her stance to remain alone.

Just then, the door to my room barged open, and Layla rushed in.

“Layla.” I called in surprise, whilst her eyes were fixed on Rosa.

“Is this she?” Layla asked, and I sighed in understanding, realizing that Logan must have told she and Liam what happened.

“Yes.” I nodded.

“Your Rosa?” She asked again, and I chuckled, nodding my head. “Yes, my Rosa.”

Rosa who seemed to like the sound of that, raised her head up, a small smile on her face.

“You’re more beautiful than Audrey had described you to be.” Layla cooed, sitting beside an amused Rosa. That was another thing I always tried to make Rosa believe. She was so beautiful, but Andrew’s unkind words had sunk deep into her mind, making her believe otherwise. “Do not mind Ryan’s silly behaviour, he would come around.”

“I don’t care if he comes around or not.” Rosa glared at a blank space, probably imagining his face in her head.

“Layla, Ryan has a lot of apologizing to do.” I said, meaning every word.

“And that, he shall.” She nodded in agreement.

“I don’t want him to give me any apologies. I’m just fine.” Rosa shot back, making me heave a sigh.

“Rosa, are you hungry?” Layla asked, and she blinked comically, making me smile. She was definitely hungry.

“When last did you get something to eat?” I asked, and she released a sigh.

“Yesterday morning.”

“Since then?!” I yelled in disbelief. It was a new day, and almost evening. “Rosaaa…” I called in a tone of chastisement.

“I’m sorry. I was already on my way back to the house yesterday, when I heard those kids….” She paused. “I had to rush down here to see you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Sebastian… I heard he was going to be here.” She whispered the last part, making my eyes widen in realization.

“Rosa….” I felt tears clogging my eyes. “Did you really come all the way, just because you…”

“You’re all I have!” She cut me off, tears equally brimming in her eyes. “What do I do if anything happens to you?” She sniffled, and I felt my heart go soft. Immediately, I walked up to her and embraced her warmly.

All the while, Layla just stood there, staring at us. “The sisterhood between you both is so beautiful.” She whispered, and I smiled

“I just mindlinked one of the omegas. Your meal would be up shortly” Layla informed.

“Thank you.” I muttered. I was cleaning the tears off Rosa’s face, when Emily walked in through the door, in serious tears. Oh, no. What happened?!

“Emily? Are you okay?” Layla asked in concern. Emily gave a small frown the moment she realized Layla was there, and I was quick to put two and two together. Emily didn’t want Layla knowing what the problem was, because this problem, turned out to be her mother.

“Uhhmmm… Layla?” I called. “Please, could you just stay with Rosa for sometime? I need to see Emily privately. Please.”

“Of course, of course!!” She nodded in understanding. I took Emily’s hand and headed out of my room. We made our way towards Logan’s…. sorry, OUR chambers, hoping to get some privacy. Thankfully, Logan wasn’t in, so we made ourselves comfortable.

“Please sit down, Emily.” I requested, and she quietly made her way to the couch beside the bed.

I walked to the bed and sat opposite her, remaining silent as I waited for her to cry to her heart’s content.

“You don’t have to wait for me to be done crying.” She said in between sobs.

“But that is the only way we can communicate effectively.” I reasoned, and she nodded, cleaning her eyes with the back of her palm.

“I’m fine to talk now.” She muttered. Goddess! Her face was so bloated and red. Emily really loved this man!

“Okay.” I nodded, waiting for her to say something, but she remained silent.

After a while, she spoke out. “She is so young.” Those were the only words she was able to make out, before fresh tears made their way down her eyes.

“That’s expected, sweetie. She’s a vampire.” At my words, she looked up at me in shock.

“You know who I’m talking about?”

“I guess I do. Queen Brienne?”

As if my words had provoked a fresh feeling of anger within her, she began muttering several words.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“She hugged him so tightly, when she knows he has a mate. And he let her stay in his arms. I see him look at her with so much love in his eyes, now she’s….”

“She is the mother of his children, Emily. He would always love and appreciate her for that.”

“And wouldn’t I also be the mother of his future kids?” She asked, breaking into sobs.

“But you don’t even let him touch you.” I reasoned, wanting to know what her response would be.

“He hasn’t even tried to touch me for weeks!!” She yelled back at me, making a small smile make its way to my face. Her mouth quivered badly, as she bowed her head in embarrassment.

“So you want him to touch you?” I found myself asking, and she shyly nodded.

“Badly.” She sighed, cleaning the tears from her eyes.

“Ohhh, Emily.” I smiled in happiness. “King Xavier is probably just wanting you to make the first move, because he doesn’t want to pressure you.” More than anything else, I was very happy that he listened to my advice, and didn’t try to kiss her or be intimate with her again. It seemed the moon goddess had perfectly orchestrated queen Brienne’s arrival at the palace, in a time like this.

Now, Emily was seeing that his ex wife looked even more younger than she did, and that provoked a lot of emotions within her. She could finally see that the man she thought was too old for her, shared a beautiful past with a0 younger woman. Above all, she had seen how much of a wonderful lover he was, and was scared to lose him to another.

“You shouldn’t let Queen Brienne make you feel insecure. She has her beloved.”

“Then she should keep her hands to him, and not mine.” Emily quipped, making my smile widen.

“How about you make the first move, huh?”

“What?” She asked at loss.

“Make the first move on your mate. Let him know you want him to touch you.” I explained.

“B.. but I d… don’t know what to do.” She stuttered.

“It’s simple, Emily. Just place your lips on his. That’s all it takes.”

LOGAN’S POV

“I can’t believe you did that!” I yelled in exasperation.

“Neither can I.” Liam added. “Why would you tell your mate you do not want her?”

“Because I couldn’t douse the urge to speak the truth in that moment.” Ryan shot back.

“So that’s the truth?” I asked in disbelief. “You really do not want her?”

“Logan! You of all people should know that I don’t. All I need is a breeder. I am not cut out for this romantic bullshit. I’ve been alone for 10 years, and I’m just fine. Why did the moon goddess have to bring her now?”

“Because you need her.” Liam reasoned.

“No, I don’t.” Ryan adamantly refused.

“Trust me, Ryan. You do. Just accept her and raise your future kids together.”

“It sounds so easy for you to say.” Ryan glared.

“It is easy.” I replied, before releasing a sigh. “Fine, it isn’t. But all the stress and difficulties that comes with making it work, is all worth it. I’m a living example.” I found myself smiling at the thought of Audrey. She completed me in ways I couldn’t imagine. I wanted to tell Ryan all the beautiful things he was missing out on.

Just then, Layla mindlinked me, informing me that it was time for dinner.

“Guys, it time for dinner.”

“I definitely need a good meal after the stress of today.” Ryan gruffly said, earning himself glares from Liam and I.

“So what are you going to do about her?” Liam asked.

“I don’t know.” He shrugged. I guess his non chalance was what frustrated me the most.

‘Calm down. You were once like him. These things take time’. Liam mindlinked me, and I nodded in understanding. If I didn’t understand, then I was simply a hypocrite.

We all stepped out of my study, and made our way to the dinning room for dinner. Audrey was already seated, waiting for me to show up.

“Hello love.” I went behind her and kissed her neck, not caring about the officials who were watching us so intently.

“My love.” She sighed, looking up at me.

‘Rosa?’ I mindlinked.

‘She already ate about two hours ago. She’s having her rest’.

‘Okay’.

‘How did the talk with Ryan go? Were you and Liam able to talk some sense into him?’

‘I’m afraid not’. I sighed, taking my seat beside her.

‘Hmmm…. no problem’. She nodded. ‘I believe he needs some time’.

‘He sure does!’ I rushed out. ‘Ryan has had it tough with love, in the past’.

‘And so has Rosa. Trust me, you don’t want to know’.

‘I think we should talk about this after dinner’. I suggested, to which she nodded.

‘Meanwhile, I have a exciting gist for you’. She grinned, making me smile. I didn’t know what this gist was, but it’d better be a juicy gossip.

I noticed father and Emily had been unusually quiet, making me wonder if all was well between them.

The rest of dinner went fine, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

“Honey, go ahead, I would come meet you in our chambers later. I just need to wrap up an important pack discussion with my father.” I explained.

“But your father has retired back to his chambers.” She reasoned.

“No, he just mindlinked me. He is in his study. I would just go see him, and return as quickly. Wouldn’t take long, okay?” I gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead, before walking away.

I rushed up the staircase, wanting to be back with my mate already. I really wanted to spend more quality time with her.

Just as I approached my father’s study, I began to hear yells in there. It sounded like he was having an argument with someone. Taking cautious steps, I got to the door and found out it was slightly open. Peeping through, I could spot my father standing tall over his mate, who looked very displeased. Father on the other hand, seemed frustrated.

“Who more do you want me to do, Emily?” He asked calmly.

“Look at me!!” She yelled out in annoyance, and father was clearly surprised. Even I, was. What did she mean by that? Father was literally acting like a lap dog when it concerned her.

“Look at me like I am the most important person to you!” She continued, breathing so heavily as she brushed her hand through her hair.

“Emily, you are the most important person in my life!”

“Oh, goddess!” She sighed, tears dropping to her cheeks. Okay, this was serious. I knew I shouldn’t have been listening on them, but I just couldn’t help it. “You don’t get it! Touch me!!” She yelled out, and before I could properly react to her statement, her actions made me open my mouth in surprise.

There she was, kissing my father with a raw kind of hunger that had sweat breaking onto my forehead. Just before my father made to grab her waist, I carefully tiptoed out of sight, rushing to my chambers to give my mate this interesting information I just stumbled upon.
