A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

THIRD PERSON’S POV

Rosa hastened her steps, wanting to get home on time and prepare her meal. Almost immediately, she slowed down, remembering that the person in question, whom she normally went out of her way for, was no longer there. Immediately she thought about Audrey, worry set in. Was she fine? Was she eating well? She had found out a few weeks back, that Audrey had been mated to king Logan again. Rosa couldn’t help but wonder if things were going on well between them.

She also knew there was a great possibility that things weren’t fine. In the letter that Alpha Denver had sent to his mate, he stated that Audrey and Logan were having a hard time adjusting to the situation of things. Rosa knew Denver for trying to be subtle with his words. And that was why she thought there was a great possibility that Audrey and Logan were infact, doing quite badly.

“I would kill him myself, if he hurts her again.” She whispered to herself, her scowl increasing when she realized there was nothing she could actually do. He was the king, and she was just…. Rosa.

“The moon goddess would have just let her be. Now, she’s going to leave me after the war.” Rosa muttered to herself again, tearing up as she did.

‘But we would find our mate too’. Her wolf said, making her glare at the annoying creature that was partly her.

‘We don’t need a mate!’ She yelled back. ‘We are fine on our own’.

‘But we are not’. Her wolf refused.

‘Do you want to suffer again?’ She asked, and her wolf went silent. ‘I thought as much’.

Just then, Rosa passed by a group of the pack’s teens, who looked like they were on their way to the pack house.

“Good evening miss Rosa.” They greeted in chorus, and Rosa waved at them.

“Good evening guys! Headed to the pack house?”

“Yeah”. One of them answered.

“Alright then. Have fun.” She said, dismissing them. Just as they walked away, a particular thing which one of them had said, grasped Rosa’s attention.

“Hey!” She called them back, and they slowly made their way towards her. “Did any of you just mention ‘Prince Sebastian’?” She asked, and the tallest one amongst them nodded in agreement.

“Yes, I did.” He answered.

“Why?” She frowned. “What’s with him?”

“You haven’t heard?” He asked, and she shook her head, not quite following.

“Heard what?”

“The rogue Prince abducted some witches, faes and vampires. He has promised to kill them, if Gamma Audrey doesn’t meet him and marry him.”

“I would have laughed at this joke, but it’s an expensive one.” Rosa shook her head, and was about walking away.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“He is not joking.” Another one of the teens called her attention, making her stop in her tracks. She recognized that one. He was the son to one of the pack’s elders. “I heard my father say so. You can also ask Luna Leah if you wish.”

It suddenly didn’t sound like a joke anymore, and Rosa could feel the hairs on her skin standing.

What if this was true? She didn’t want to believe it, but then, she hadn’t detected a single lie from what the boys had said. She watched in a mix of confusion and disbelief, as the boys walked away.

‘You could just ask Luna Leah. She would definitely know whether or not it’s the truth’. Rosaline’s wolf suggested, and she found herself nodding in agreement. Immediately, she took a ‘U’ turn and headed to the pack house, just behind the children.

After about 15 minutes of walking, she finally made it to the pack house. Making her way to the entrance of the Alpha Denver’s home, she spoke to the guard on duty.

“Good evening.” She greeted, keeping a great amount of space between she and the obviously harmless guard. She was yet to know the day she’d overcome her fear towards men. Andrew had really damaged her before he died.

“Good evening.” The guard responded, unable to take his eyes off her pretty face.

They had all always wanted to make a move on the pretty Rosa, but couldn’t, for the fear of Gamma Audrey. Most especially, they all knew Rosa found men repulsive.

“Please, I want to know if Luna Leah is in.” She requested, and he nodded almost immediately.

“Yes, she is in. You want to see her?” Her asked.

“Yes.” Rosa nodded. “Is it too late for her to receive visitors?” She asked, but the guard shook his head.

“Not yet. Please, go on in.” He pulled the door open for her, and she stepped in, muttering her thanks. The moment he closed the door behind her, he turned to his fellow guard on duty, who had a grin on his face.

“She always smells so nice.” He whispered.

“What I’d do to have a mate like that.” The other replied him.

“Andrew must have really been a bastard. Gloriously messed things up for the rest of us.” He shook his head in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Rosa had walked into the pack house, to see Leah sitting on one of the sofas and knitting what looked like a sweater.

“Rosa!” She called in surprise.

“Good evening Luna Leah.” Rosa gave a slight bow in respect, and Leah invited her to join her on the sofa.

“So what brings you here, because I find it difficult to believe you just came to say ‘hi’.”

“I honestly didn’t come to say ‘hi’.” Rosa chuckled awkwardly. “I came for a different reason.”

“Please let me know.” Leah requested, inching closer to the nervous looking lady.

“I heard from some teens this evening…..” She released a fretful sigh. “Please tell me Audrey is fine.” She pleaded, and Leah’s face fell. How could she not realize that was the reason why Rosa had come? She was also very surprised the woman was just getting to hear the news which had been circulating the pack for two days now.

“Rosa….. I’m sorry. I should have known that you were yet to find out.”

“W.. what?” Rosa stuttered, her lips quivering as she did. “Audrey is really in danger?”

“I’m afraid so.” Leah sighed. “But the king would definitely do all in his power to ensure she isn’t hurt.”

“How? I’m not even sure he has been treating her well since he found out she was his mate again. He definitely wouldn’t do his best to ensure she is unhurt.”

“Rosa, don’t say that.” Leah sighed. “I believe they are slowly working on their relationship.”

“That is not enough to ensure she is safe!” Rosa said, standing up and pacing about.

Leah had always seen Rosa as the quiet and secluded type, so seeing her beat her head so much over someone else, was refreshing to see. Audrey had indeed made a good friend in Rosa these past years.

“But we can’t do anything from here.” Leah reasoned, standing up to join a restless Rosa.

“Says who?” Rosa asked, making Leah somewhat confused.

“But you know we can’t, Rosa.”

“You can’t. But I can. I definitely will.”

“Rosa….” Leah shot her a suspicious look. “What do you plan on doing?”

“I definitely wouldn’t tell you.”

“Don’t tell me you plan on travelling to the royal moon pack?”

“I wouldn’t tell you, then.” Rosa sighed, and turned to walk away.

“It’s of no use!” Leah’s voice stopped her. “The exchange is supposed to take place this afternoon. You are already too late.”

“What?” Rosa’s eyes widened in a mix of fear and shock.

“Moreover, the king has put every inter pack movements on a hold, until the war is over.”

“I do not care.” Rosa shook her head adamantly. “I would not sit still and watch Audrey marry her worse nightmare.”

“Marry?” Leah asked in confusion. “What are you talking about?”

“The kids had told me that Sebastian has only agreed to release the hostages, if Audrey comes and agrees to marry him.” Rosa explained.

“That’s not true!” Leah found herself laughing, which did nothing but grate on Rosa’s nerves. “The agreement was to bring Audrey along, for the release of the hostages.”

“That even makes it worse! No one knows what plans he has in mind towards her. And I don’t know how you find it possible to laugh.” Rosa shook her head in disbelief.

“I’m sorry.” Leah apologized. “But it’s just funny how the wrong news can fly so easily.”

“I need to go.” Rosa said.

“But you can’t….” Leah was still talking when Rosa walked out of the pack house. The moment the doors closed behind her and she walked a decent distance, she began running as fast as her legs could carry her. Her mind told her that Leah was going to try and stop her, and she couldn’t afford for that to happen.
