A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

LOGAN’S POV

Witches, wolves, vampires, and faes. All, fighting together?

The chaos was sooo great. I found myself running ahead, aggressively hitting down the rogue vampires and wolves that came on to me. The audacity indeed. I could feel so much anger within me, and I just wanted to take it out on a particular person who stood far across from me. I couldn’t clearly make out his face, but I knew that he was the rival I had to deal with.

One minute I was running towards my rival, the next minute I realized I was in a different spot. Beside me, was the most humbling creature I had ever seen in my life. An extremely beautiful wolf with furs of fire. That wolf was fighting alongside me.

I woke up, my eyes frantically searching my surroundings. There was no chaos, I wasn’t in battle, and there was no wolf with furs of fire. But there was one person though.

“Liam, you’re watching me sleep now?” I asked in mild irritation, to which he simply shrugged. How could he act normal, after not speaking with me for weeks?

“I guess I came at the right time.” He muttered, walking towards me and handing me a glass of water. I collected it with appreciation, actually feeling thirsty.

“Thank you.”

“Sure.” He nodded. “Bad dream?”

“Can’t tell for a fact.” I sighed, truly confused by all I had seen. I gulped down the glass of water quickly.

“Care to share?”

“I honestly don’t know.” I hopped down the bed and strolled into the bathroom. I poured some water over my face, completely clearing out the drowsy feeling of sleep. After brushing my teeth, I stepped out of the bathroom and popped an unexpected question at him.

“Would you accompany me into the witches territory?”

“You want to visit the sisters?” He asked, looking surprised. Even I, hadn’t thought I would.

“Yes. Given the dream I just had, I need to see them.”

“I know it is my duty to accompany you, Logan. But I honestly do not think I can.”

“I had a dream were we all fought together in unity.” I found myself explaining, feeling terrible that he just declined going with me.

“Who do you mean?”

“We. The four supernatural races fought together, against a common enemy.”

“Are you serious?” He asked, looking more attentive.

“Hmm.” I nodded.

“And who was the common enemy?”

“Rogues. Of every race. Though, I can’t tell whom their leader was.” I sighed. “Couldn’t clearly make out his face. But then, I saw a much more stunning creature, fighting by my side. Liam, I saw a wolf with furs of fire. It was the most insane thing I have ever seen.”

“Okayyyy, didn’t see that coming.” He gave me a weird look.

“I’m serious.”

“I didn’t say you weren’t. It’s just weird that what you saw, fits into the description of the Flaming Wolf.” At his words, I paused.

“Goddess….” I whispered to myself, realizing Liam wasn’t wrong at all. “It must have been the Flaming Wolf indeed! B… b.. but how can?”

“Same thing I asked myself. I mean…. the Flaming Wolf hasn’t been reincarnated in centuries. If you saw it fighting alongside you in the battle, then….” He trailed off. I was just as confused as he was. “You do realize that this battle you saw, is the same which had been revealed to us many years ago, right?”

“I figured as much.” I nodded. “The great battle that brings back unity amongst the races.”

“I think you just had a vision, Logan.”

“What?”

“That wasn’t a dream, it was a vision. We just have no idea how far or close, before it happens…..” He continued blabbing, and I just looked at him in amusement.

“And since when did I begin to see visions?” I asked him, finding it funny that he thought it was a vision when infact, he was present when I woke up from the dream.

“Since you were appointed the chief custodian of the witches. You’re a wizard now.” He replied. “Logan, you can’t decide to embrace certain sides of yourself, and just abandon the other. Your witch gene is literally what brings balance between your other sides, which you prefer.”

“It’s not like I prefer my vampire and wolf side over….”

“Trust me, you do.” He cut me off.

“I don’t. I just don’t see how it is possible to lead two different races, when…” I sighed in frustration. “How would it work?”

He looked at me in silence, probably thinking of the perfect response to give me.

“Well, your dream says it all. All races fought together against a common enemy. That is unity there. If we become united, then it would be easier for you to lead both races.”

“Okay, let’s assume I am able to unite the witches and werewolves, what happens to the faes and vampires?”

“The faes and witches are not really ‘divided’, if you ask me. They have always understood themselves. It just happens that they have different territories, which brings us to a simple understanding. We can all be united, regardless of being in separate kingdoms.”

“Make it make sense, Liam. Initially, we were all together. There were no territories! The issue of having territories only began when the fight for power became excessive, leading to the division of races.”

“I know. But think about it…. The fight for power only started because the different races thought they were all capable of leading. What makes you think that the same thing wouldn’t happen, if we eventually cohabit again?”

“What are you getting at?”

“What I’m getting at, is the fact that we do not need to cohabit, before there can be peace. Take a look at the witches and fae. They visit themselves whenever they want, without misunderstandings. There can be unity amongst the several races, without necessarily having to break down territorial walls. All that is needed, is for us to be able to tolerate ourselves. We mustn’t even love each other. Just tolerance and implementation of rules.”

Okayyy. This was beginning to make sense.

“If you accept the position of chief custodian to the witches, it would become easier for them to make peace with the wolves. And of course, the faes would fall in line. Moreover, there are a few wolves who still visit their territories and return unharmed.” He shrugged.

“That’s quite true. Edith was a wolf, yet she was welcomed to visit the witches.” At my statement, the place fell silent. Great! I talk about Edith, and he goes mute? Ever since the day of the execution, it felt like I was all on my own. I was quite surprised to see him in my room this morning. “What about the vampires?” I asked, changing the subject. “They are the major problems.”

“We have you, we have Ryan, and we have your mother.” He muttered.

“How do you mean?”

“Seriously? It’s clear enough Logan.” He threw his hands up in the air. “You are their kind. Partly. And so is Ryan. Your mother is a their complete kind, and she also happens to have been a witch as well. Am I also forgetting the fact that she was once a werewolf queen? We can definitely come to some sort of understanding.”

“I understand your idea in respect the witches and faes. But you should know how tough the vampires are. They wouldn’t just fall in line for the sake of unity.”

“I would agree that they could be really tough, but we all have a common enemy. The rogues. If the rogues conquer us in battle, they would take over the four supernatural kingdoms. Every single one. And our people would be subjected to their oppression for as long as it takes before they set themselves free from such tyranny. That should be enough reason for the vampires to unite and fight with us.”

“All these talks, and we aren’t even sure what this dream really means.” I chuckled.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Fine.” He muttered. “When do you want us to go to see the sisters?”

“Oh? I thought you weren’t interested in accompanying me? What are you even doing in my chambers in the first place?”

“Seriously?” He looked at me in disbelief. “You shut everybody out for two straight weeks, and today you finally seem welcoming enough, you suddenly feel like pushing me away?”

“What are you talking about?” I asked, slightly annoyed. “You all went mad, simply because I punished…..” I trailed off. “… her, like she deserved.”

“You can’t even say her name.” He muttered.

“Am I supposed to say her name?!”

“You’re supposed to let go!” He yelled bak, surprising me. “Fine then. Let’s have this conversation.” He nodded.

“What conversation?”

“This!” He shot back. “You were hurt, but only ended up hurting yourself more.”

“How?”

“How??!!” He chuckled humourlessly. “Have you seen yourself lately? You look like a joke. Your rejection is eating you up.”

“That’s a lie!” I denied. “I simply needed a break. I deserve one.”

“No.” He shook his head in negation. “You couldn’t believe how much rejecting her would affect you. But that is because you did it the wrong way. You created more bond between you both, and you expect it not to hurt when it is being broken? I warned you not to do it, but you went ahead. All you should have done, was reject her the right way, and let go of her. But now, your mark on her has made it clear that you aren’t willing to let go.”

“How?”

“Because you don’t want her being with anyone else.”

“I didn’t mark her because I wasn’t willing to let go!” I shot back, feeling angrier. “I marked her because I wanted her to suffer and live a lonely life for all eternity.” I glared at no one in particular.

“Are you even listening to yourself?! You’re still so angry. Would she continue to make you soooo mad, in years to come? Because if that is the case, then you would never really be able to let go.” He turned away in annoyance.

His words scared me, because all I truly wanted was to forget about her, whilst making her suffer. But hearing all that Liam just said, it became obvious that I couldn’t have both, and it angered me to no end. Goddess! I hated her.

“It is all in the past now. She is in my past, and I do not want to have any other discussions concerning her in the future.”

“As you wish.” He muttered in response. “Moreover, what is done is done.”

Yes, it was. I was really done with her, regardless of what my mark on her, meant. It was a mistake, and I wasn’t going to keep dwelling on it. I would prove to myself and everyone, that I had left her in my past.

“I have had as much rest as I deserve, and I’m ready to return to my duties. I’m sorry if it felt like I pushed you all away. I didn’t realize it.” I truly didn’t. I actually thought they had kept their distances. “As for our visit to the sisters, we could make that in two days. Enough time to wrap up whatever couldn’t let you leave.”

“It’s actually not enough time.”

“Fine. How much time do you need?”

“Two months?” He replied, and I looked up at him in disbelief. Was he purposely trying to rile me up?

“Are you kidding?!”

“Well…. technically, no.” He shrugged. “Layla definitely needs that long, before she puts to birth.” He revealed, a small smile on his face.

“What?” I whispered in shock. “Layla is pregnant?!”

“Yes, she is.” He sighed. “Clearly, she has been for a while now. She only told me a few days back.”

I really couldn’t explain how happy I felt.

“Goddess!” I stood from the bed and paced my bedroom, a huge smile on my face. “This is great news!”

“You know what is a greater news?” He asked, and I shook my head, anticipating what more was in store.

“She chose a name for the baby already.”
