A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

“Today it is your birthday and I sing to let you know, that you would be queen forever. What you say goes!” I opened my eyes the moment his voice filtered through my ears. There he was, a celebratory cap on his head, and a big cake in his hands. Logaaannn….

And just like every other year since we were apart, I forgot my birthday again.

“The eleventh day in March.” I whispered, realizing that it was indeed my birthday. “This song…” I trailed off, remembering my birthday five years ago, like it was just yesterday. That was the song Logan had sang to me.

I looked at how far we had come, and tears of joy rolled down my eyes. This time around, I wasn’t tensed or scared about when he’d find out I had betrayed him. I wasn’t feeling so heavy because I fell in love with him, contrary to the assignment I was supposed to carry out. And definitely on this day, no one would rape me. Instead, I would spend the day in the arms of the very man I loved. My mate. My shot at a second chance. My life.

“I take it, those are tears of joy?” He asked, and I nodded, wearing a small smile amidst my tears.

“Definitely are.” I choked out.

“Oh, baby.” He quickly dropped the cake on the bestand, and joined me on the bed. “I wouldn’t trade you for anything in this world. Never again. On this day, I want to reassure you of my love for you, and I hope you are happy with me for the rest of our lives. I hope we give birth to little princes and princesses that are just as beautiful as you are. And I am.” He added with a chuckle. “I want to wake up to your beautiful face every morning, and I want to grow old with you by my side. I love you.”

“I love you too baby.” I hugged him.

“So tell me…” He pulled away, putting his hand into the bedside drawer and taking out two papers. There were clearly things written on them, but I couldn’t see them because they were turned to him. “This or that.” He held both papers to me, and I laughed when I realized what he was up to. Looking intently at both papers and thinking really hard…. Hard about something I had no idea about… I finally pulled out the paper on the top. Turning it to myself, I read through.

‘Start the day with a wholesome family breakfast’. The paper said. Hmmm.

“Let me see the other.” I requested, and he gave it to me.

‘Start the day in the shower with meee!’. I couldn’t help but chuckle. That was really tempting, but I was glad I picked the first. For the past week, Logan and I had been going at it everywhere, like dogs in heat. We didn’t even mind if we weren’t in an appropriate place or situation. When we both wanted it, we did it. So in essence, we could do it anytime we wanted. But a wholesome family breakfast, wasn’t gonna be all the time.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Alright then!” He hopped down the bed. “Let’s go have that family meal.” He muttered, and I smiled. “It’s a shame though.” He sighed. “You would have chosen to eat all of this…” He gestured at himself, making me laugh hard.

“You really are a meal.” I said in between giggles.

“Ohhh…. trust me, I am.” He winked. “Now, come here!” He pounced on me so suddenly, leaving kisses around my face and tickling me.

“Logan please!!” I begged, laughing so hard.

When he was satisfied with how much he made me laugh, he pulled me into his arms and got off the bed with me. Carrying me bridal style, he took me downstairs, heading towards the balcony of the living area. The omegas had been busy cleaning everywhere, some of them stealing wishful glances at us, and the others throwing a ‘happy birthday, luna’, at me. The day hadn’t even gone halfway, but it already felt like the perfect birthday.

When we got to the balcony, he put me down and I smiled so widely when I saw everyone there. Layla, Liam, Ryan, Beta Justin, King Xavier, Emily, Brienne and Dante, Rosa who was carrying little Logan in her arms.

Those two had bonded quite well over the week. But then, I could tell he was waiting to be free from her hold and run down to me.

“Happy Birthday to you!!!!” They all chorused, making me tear up again. These people!! Look how soft they were making me feel. I looked around the balcony, and the decorations were so beautiful.

Just then, Logan jumped down from Rosa’s arms like I had predicted, and ran towards me in happiness. Instinctively, I bent and carried him in my arms.

“Happy Birthday Auntie Audrey!!!” He clapped in excitement. “I love you!” He bent and kissed my cheek.

“I love you too baby.” I grinned. “Thank you. Thank you all so much. I feel so touched.”

“Happy birthday to the best daughter in law in the woorrlllldddd!!” King Xavier dragged, and I was glad he had this glow to him. Emily did too! Both of them have also been really intense towards each other this past week. Their public displays of affection was such a refreshing sight. “We have a feast prepared for you.” He pointed at the table, and my belly danced in anticipation.

I was soooo hungry, regardless of how much I ate last night.

“Okay! Could we eat already?” I shamelessly asked, making all of them laugh.

“Rosa prepared a special porridge she said you normally love.” Layla informed, and my grin widened. Opening my other arm for her to come in, she made her way towards me and hugged me warmly, leaving a chaste kiss on my cheek.

“Happy birthday to you, my own.” She sighed, tearing up. “I wish you as much happiness as you have brought to me.”

“Rosaaaa….” I sighed, patting her back soothingly. “You have brought me nothing short of that too. I mean it.” I nodded. “You cared for me like your own, and loved me regardless of the sad situations surrounding our bond. The goddess bless you and give you all the happiness you deserve.”

“Okayyyy….” Layla called out, probably feeling the atmosphere getting tensed. All the while, little Logan just sat comfortably on my hip, playing with my hair. “Let’s have this amazing dishes already. Come on.” She gingered, and we all took our seats around the table.

“I’m beginning to think that Logan may not realize who his parents are, anymore.” Liam suddenly said. That has really been a cause for concern to him lately.

“I love you papa.” Little Logan sighed, making everyone laugh. “But I see Auntie Audrey in my dreams. Everyday!” He grinned, and everyone’s eyes fell on him.

“You do?” I asked, and he nodded agreeably.

“I see youuuuu….” He turned, cupping my cheeks with his small hands. “You look hot.” He sighed dreamily.

My mouth opened in surprise.

“What the hell? Logan!!” Layla yelled in annoyance.

“But I’m not lyingggg…” He turned to his mom, pouting cutely.

“He actually isn’t.” Logan supported, kissing my mouth. “My mate is hot.” He grinned.

“You both are just spoiling him.” Layla glared. “And don’t think you have escaped from my wrath, you little…” She trailed off, not knowing what to call him.

“Layla, really?” Queen Brienne chuckled, and we all laughed out.

“These children just touch my last nerve.” She sighed.

After that, we all focused on our meal, eating and having random conversations.

‘Can you see them?’ Logan mindlinked me suddenly.

‘See who?’

‘Ryan and your Rosa’. He chuckled. ‘They keep stealing glances at each other’.

Hearing that information, I stylishly looked up and confirmed it.

‘You think he’s beginning to rethink his decision to reject her?’

‘I don’t think rejecting her has ever been in his plan though’. Logan shrugged. ‘He probably thought to neglect her’.

‘Don’t you think we should call them both and you know…. tell one what the other has been through? I really feel like the moon goddess brought them together to heal each other’.

Logan and I had duscussed extensively about Ryan and Rosa. Now, we could both understand the pains and horror both parties have been through. Ryan really had it tough though. And so did Rosa!

‘That honestly sounds like a great plan, but then…. It isn’t in our place to do that. Let’s give them the time they need to sort themselves out’. He said, and I nodded in agreement. That could work too.

Once we were done with our breakfast, Logan and I made our way back to our chambers, and I wondered what more he had in store for me.

“So….. my lady!” He said, grabbing my attention.

“Why don’t you go have a bath, after which you’d pick your next activity for the day.”

“Yes, my lord.” I dramatically curtsied, making us burst into laughter together.

Without wasting any more time, I rushed into the bathroom and got busy washing my body. After that, I brushed my teeth and stepped out of the bathroom.

“Okay, she’s done.” He muttered to himself and walked up to me, stretching two papers to my face. Okayyyyy. “Pick one.”

This time, I pulled the one on top, without thinking hard on it. Turning it to myself, I read through. ‘Spend the afternoon training with your soldiers’.

“Let me see the other one.” I demanded and he gave it to me. I quickly read through. ‘Spend the afternoon in the library with me’.

“Aaarrghhh!!!” I groaned in regret, while he laughed.

“I thought you loved training?”

“I do!!” I stomped my feet childishly. “Well,” I shrugged “there is still a war to be prepared for. Birthday or not.” I sighed, and he frowned slightly.

“Today is your day. Do not spend a second thinking about the war, okay. Let’s just be completely happy for today.”

“Fine.” I nodded.

“Now dress up, let’s go to the training grounds!”

****

I released a happy sigh as I sat in front of our vanity mirror, preparing for dinner. Logan had laid out a special dress for me, insisting that I wore it to dinner. I wondered if I would look a bit too overdressed for the usually casual occasion. Nonetheless, I obeyed his instructions. So far, he seemed to always exceed my expectations, just like he did with training today. I was so shocked to get to the training grounds, and receive a wholesome celebration from the soldiers. They literally presented a choreography, and it was both silly and refreshing to see them having fun. It had just been about training since they got here. They deserved the break and fun.

“Are you ready, baby?” I turned to see Logan poking his head through the door. He was dressed in a freaking suit!! “Ahhh…. you look splendid!” He said, making me feel so good deep within.

“You don’t look bad at all! A suit?!” I chuckled in disbelief. “Are you sure we wouldn’t be too overdressed?” I sighed.

“Leave your worries to me, baby.” He grinned. “Now, quickly finish up with your preparations. I would return for you soon.”

“Okay.” I nodded. He closed the door after him and I released yet another sigh. I really didn’t know what to expect tonight. Looking back at the mirror and literally rushing up the rest of my makeup, I let my hair fall to my back like Logan loved it, then I proceeded to put on the dress he had lain out for me.

When I wore it, I literally gasped at how beautiful I looked in the mirror. It was a shimmery lilac gown, hugging all my curves perfectly. It had a long slit from my left knee, all the way up to my thighs. The neckline was a sweetheart kind, revealing a decent amount of cleavage.

It was just perfect!

I grinned at my reflection, turning around a good number of times, before proceeding to put on my shoes and spray some perfume. Just as I covered the lid of the perfume and dropped it back on the vanity stand, the door opened and Logan stepped in.

“My ladyyy….” He called in a very rich tone, making me grin.

“Yes, my lord.” I gave a mock curtsey.

“Please…” He stretched his hand out to me, and I placed mine on it. Bringing my hand to his lips, he placed a chaste kiss on my knuckles. “You’re breathtaking.” He whispered, giving me that look that made my heart fall to the pit of my stomach. In a good way!!

In that moment, all I really wanted to do was bend over for him to just pound me from behind. “Get over those unclean thoughts of yours, you baaaad woman.” He said, making me burst into laughter. “Come on, let’s go.” He pulled me with him, and we made our way out of the room.

As we walked down the staircase, I could already feel so much energy within. Why did I have a feeling that tonight was going to be a very special one for me?

‘For us!’ My wolf danced around happily. For us, indeed.

Finally stepping down to the level where I could clearly see the living area, I met a totally different place!

“Haa!” I gasped, looking around the place in awe. This birthday of mine was definitely such a big deal to Logan!!

“Happy Birthday, Luna!!” I had received this kind of celebratory performance so much today, that it made me want to laugh. Every one of the supernatural officials were present, dressed like it was an actual occasion.

“It’s an actual occasion, love.” Logan whispered to me. I definitely let my thoughts filter through our mindlink without realizing it. “Your birthday is a big deal to me. Every year you are alive, is something I am thankful for.”

“Oh, my love.” I turned to him and gave him a very deep kiss, hoping to communicate just how wonderful he made me feel.

Stepping down the rest of the staircase, I joined in the party. The whole place was looking so different, making me wonder if they had done these decorations, while I had been taking a nap some hours back.

“Thank you all, so much!!” I yelled, my eyes feeling so teary. Why was I getting easily emotional these days?!! “This means a lot to me.” I sniffled, trying not to ruin my makeup.

“Welcome, Luna!”

“Before we feast,” Logan began. “there is something I need to offer my mate.”

Watching in surprise, Logan went down on one knee and pulled out a box from the pocket of his suit.

“I…..” He paused, probably thinking of how to begin. “What do I say now?” He looked at me with so much love, and at that point, I said to myself.. ‘to hell with this makeup’. Then, I let the tears fall from my eyes. I couldn’t believe it! Logan was about to propose. It made me feel so giddy inside. “I lost you, but somehow, you found your way to me again. You rid me off all bitterness, and you let me see and enjoy this thing called love. I want you forever, baby. And that is why I’m asking….. please would you marry me? Again.” He added, making me chuckle amidst my tears.

“Yes!!” I rushed out. “Yes, yes, yes!!” I could literally repeat those words over and over, for the next hour. I was so overwhelmed with happiness and love for this man. I knew we were already mates, but asking me to marry him only meant how much be wanted to be tied to me in every way possible. Now, he wouldn’t only be my mate. He would be my king, my Alpha, and my husband.
