A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

LOGAN’S POV

“You keep messing things up, don’t you?” Layla glared at me, and I swallowed hard, unable to say a word in defense. “You have to make it up to her.”

“How? I don’t even know what to do.” I muttered.

“An apology, of course! Must I tell you everything? Can’t you take the initiative? Or you think she doesn’t deserve it?”

“I never said that.” I frowned. “I’m just confused. One minute, I’m so angry at Audrey. The next minute, I am breaking up with Heather. The next minute, I am kissing Audrey with such a passion I can’t even control.”

“You broke up with Heather?!” She and Liam asked at the same time, looking really surprised.

“Yes.” I muttered. “I did. Last night.”

“Oh, my goodness!! That’s such a great news!” Layla grinned.

“You do realize that great news has made someone else extremely hurt, right?”

“Fine.” She released a sigh. “I’m sorry. I was just happy you’re finally taking the right steps towards making your relationship with Audrey, work. But then again, you called her a harlot today.” She threw her hands up in exasperation. “Logan, how could you?”

“I didn’t mean to!” I rushed out. “I truly didn’t. It just came out in the heat of the moment. And I already feel terrible.” I sighed. I felt like a whole lot of things were happening at the same time. Most of all, I was bothered by these contradicting feelings I had towards Audrey. I knew I had decided to make things work with her, but I felt like I still needed some form of closure from our past.

‘You are just bothered because you can’t really tell if she ever truly loved you. That’s all you’ve ever really wanted after all’. My wolf muttered, and I couldn’t even deny it.

“You have to pray that she forgives you for this.”

“Who is forgiving who?” We all turned to see father standing by the door. Oh, goddess.

“Father.” Layla called in surprise.

“I asked a question.” He said. “Who is forgiving who?”

“Logan hurt his mate again.” Layla let out, and my father just turned his back and left, not saying a single word. What did that mean? “Interesting.” Layla muttered. What the hell was interesting?

“What in the goddess’s name, is interesting?”

“The fact that you’re going to deal with this mess you created. You’re very much on your own now.” I was still trying to let her words sink in, when he stood up and looked down at Liam. “Let’s leave here.” She muttered. I was shocked to see Liam standing up and following her out of my chambers. Oh wow! They really did leave me on my own now.

I Iowered myself onto the bed, thinking so hard about what I could possibly do to remedy the current problem I was facing.

It wasn’t up to half an hour later, when I was still in thoughts, and someone opened my door and walked in. I quickly looked up to see that it was Heather.

“Heather.” I muttered, wondering what would have brought her here. Last night I had been so worried that she was mad at me. But after seeing her act quite normally in my study this morning, I figured she was just fine.

“You haven’t bothered to come check on me.” She sighed, lowering herself beside me. “You know, to see if the swelling on my cheek has gone down.”

“Heather, I can always check on you during training.”

“That’s such a harsh way to respond to me.” She muttered, inching closer to me. Wait, what was she doing?

“What are you doing?” I moved back, panic instantly filling my mind.

“What else? Trying to kiss my boyfriend.” She shrugged.

I went silent for half a minute, wondering if I had only imagined last night. And if I hadn’t, I thought of the best way for me to respond to her.

“Heather….. We broke up.” I said, enunciating each word.

“Logan.” She whispered. “You weren’t serious, were you? I thought you just needed your space…. I…”

“Heather, please.” I quickly stood from the bed, not wanting to be in unacceptable close range with her. “Please, let’s just make this easier for both of us.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“But I love you.” She began sobbing.

“Hello, Chief.” I looked up to see Isla. She had definitely not taken the door, and she didn’t look like she was in a mood tolerate Heather, either.

***

I looked at the bouquet of white roses laying on my bed. This had been Isla’s idea. Apologize with a token.

I took out the key from my drawer, planning I was going to give it to her tonight as well. It was the key that Logan had requested. The key to my personal library. I hoped she got the message I was trying to pass. Giving her the key was my way of telling her I was ready to share my personal space with her, and also hoped we’d bond. I couldn’t believe I was back to this again. Begging for her attention.

‘You should come down for dinner’. Layla’s voice filtered through my mindlink, and I nodded to myself. It was time to make that move. I felt like a giddy young boy, just like when I decorated our chambers to celebrate her birthday 5 years ago.

It had taken me a lot of courage to do this, because I couldn’t stand being away from her any longer. And at this point, even if I wasn’t sure she loved me, I was going to try my best to make things work.

Picking up the flowers from my bed, I walked out of my bedroom and headed to Audrey’s. Hopefully, I was going to catch her before she went down for dinner.

Walking through the hallway, I passed by some officials making their way to the dinning room. They had all greeted and snuck some peeks at the bouquet of flower in my hand, probably wondering whom it belonged to. If things went well tonight, and Audrey was lenient enough to let me off the hook, they were all going to know the flower was for her.

Increasing my pace, I made my way to her room, a smile on my face. Her room was the last one on the row, and before I even got there, I noticed her door was open.

Had she gone for dinner already? My face fell in disappointment, and I was about to turn back. But why was the door open?

Deciding to go and see if everything seemed okay in there, I walked to the door and the scene I met broke my heart in pieces.

There she was, her lips entangled with that of… Ares.

I didn’t even realize it when the flower fell from my hand to the floor, releasing a thud.

Immediately, she pushed him away and looked up to see me. The shock in her eyes, couldn’t be compared to the hurt in my heart. What was that saying again? Once bitten, twice shy. But I guess my case was different. I was twice bitten, and forever shy. I couldn’t believe how stupid I was.
