A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

THIRD PERSON’S POV

The moment she got back home, she started packing some clothes into a bag, but realized it would only slow her down. Throwing the bag aside, she brought out another bag from the wardrobe, and searched it thoroughly like a crazy woman. Once her hand touched the item she was looking for, she sighed in relief.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It was the purse containing the little savings she had. She figured it would be enough to buy her a passage out of the pack, through Silas’s carriage. Silas was well known for his illegal interstate business. He was the kind of man she’d never go to for any reason, but now, she hadn’t a choice.

‘What if Audrey is gone by the time we get there?’ Her wolf asked, and she groaned in frustration.

‘Please not now’. She rushed out, honestly not ready for a conversation with her wolf, especially when she was trying to leave this house, before Leah sent the guards after her.

Tightly clipping her money bag around her waist, she took her jacket and literally breezed out of the house, locking the door behind her. She headed towards Silas’s tavern, not having an idea she just narrowly escaped the pack’s guards, who were currently knocking on the door of her house.

While she made her way to Silas’s tavern, she kept reminding herself to be positive. Audrey had to be fine. On getting there, she spotted the small looking man, coming out of the tavern and muttering inaudible words to himself. Immediately, she rushed to him and called his attention.

“Mr Silas!” She yelled out, covering the distance between them. “Mr Silas, please I need your help.”

“Who are you, and what kind of help do you want?” He gruffly replied, pinning his stern gaze on her.

“My name is Rosaline, and I need to get to the royal moon pack before noon.” She quickly informed.

“And how am I supposed to help with that?” He glared at her, and was about to walk away when she pulled him back.

“Please sir. I do not have much time on my side.”

“And I can’t be of help to you, crazy woman!” He yelled in annoyance, pulling his hand away.

“Look at me!” She suddenly demanded and he turned to look at her, not because she had ordered him to, but because he was trying find the audacity she had. Rosa knew that was the case but either ways, he was doing what she wanted.

“When does your next carriage leave the pack?” She asked, and he found himself answering truthfully.

“It leaves a few minutes from now.” He answered, and his eyes widened in shock.

“Keep your eyes on me.” She demanded, before throwing him another question. “Would I be able to get to the royal moon pack this noon, if I leave with you now?”

“It depends on how smooth the journey is. The guards stationed at every pack boundary, would be more active, now that inter pack travels have been put on hold. That might slow down the speed of our journey.”

“I would take my chance.” Rosa nodded at the small looking man, who was trying to understand what had just happened to him. “Come on, let’s go already.” She pressed, and Silas glared at her.

“I don’t know what you just did to me, but just so you know, you don’t scare me.” He sneered, clearly feeling intimidated.

“It is not my plan to scare you, Mister. I just need to be at the palace as soon as possible. And I told you already, I do not have the time for these back and forths. How much do I need to pay you?” She asked, and his eyes bulged greedily.

“65!”

“What?” She glared. “That would take me on 12 normal trips, with spare change.”

“You said it already. ‘Normal trips’. This isn’t a normal trip, miss. Are you going or not?” He raised his chin up in defiance, and Rosa’s glare increased. She knew she promised not to intimidate him in anyway, but he kinda deserved it.

“35! Let’s go. Now!” She said authoritatively, hoping she would be able to put some fear in him. It seemed to have worked because he bowed his head in defeat.

“Fine.” He grumbled. “Let’s go.” He turned and walked right into the tavern. She continued to follow him as he made his way through the crowd, into a door that led to…. a carriage port.

This man had not one, two, or three, but 8 carriages, which seemed full and ready to leave anytime soon. She silently celebrated her victory, and hoped the journey turned out to be a smooth one.

Releasing a tired sigh, Rosa finally came to a stop at the huge palace gates. Silas hadn’t lied to her at all. Their journey had been so rough, that she feared for her life at some point. They weren’t able to get to the royal moon pack yesterday, and were just getting there this afternoon. They had left her at the pack’s boundary, where she had to trek and trek until she could see finally come across other werewolves. She asked around, and was directed to the palace.

Now, she was finally here, and was unsure what to expect. Taking a step of faith, she made her way closer to the gates. She was about walking through, only to be stopped by the guards stationed there.

“Who are you?” One of them questioned, and she felt fear consume her.

“I am Rosa.” She muttered. “I belong to Gamma Audrey.”

“You belong to our Luna?” Hearing them refer to Audrey as ‘Luna’, made her face lit up.

“Yes yes yes!” She rushed out. “I am the mate of her late brother. Please I’m here to see her.”

She waited patiently, while the soldiers whispered amongst themselves.

“Give us a minute.” They said, and she watched them just stand still in their place. They were probably trying to mindlink someone. After a while, one of them looked up at her.

“Guys…” He called the others. “Beta Marcus says he knows her.” He informed, and Rosa released a sigh of relief. “You can go in.” He said, lifting the blockade for her to pass through. “He would lead you to the training grounds, where you can meet Beta Marcus.” He pointed at one of the guards, who walked towards Rosa.

“Thank you.” She muttered, and followed the guard behind.

On getting to the training grounds, Rosa sighted Marcus, busy training with their pack soldiers. A wide smile spread through her face. She was really here!! And with the look of things, Audrey was safe!

‘Marcus!’ She mindlinked, and just as he turned to her, her nose caught a strong smell. She walked away mindlessly, leaving behind the guard who had just escorted her here.

Her wolf was jumping around in her head, and her heartbeat accelerated with the fear of what she just realized.

‘Mate!!’ Her wolf howled in joy.

‘No no no!!’ She rushed out in fear. ‘I don’t a need a ma…..’ Her thoughts were cut short when a huge handsome looking man, started making his way towards her. The look on his face, was enough to tell Rosa that he was beyond pissed. But why was he coming at her in that manner…?

Oh no! He was her mate! He was the one!

The closer he marched towards her, the more she felt his excessively powerful aura. Nonetheless, she stood in her place, not actually confident, but scared to move.

Finally, he got to her, and she didn’t expect the loud growl he released at her. She covered her face in fear, tears stinging her eyes as she realized this powerful man who was her mate, didn’t want her. Of course. She was weak, lacked confidence, and wasn’t good enough.

‘That’s not true!’ Her wolf cried in her head. She was surprised that she cared what this man thought about her, as his mate. She shouldn’t care. He didn’t want her anyways.

After a few seconds, she smelled a very familiar scent, and looked up to see the back of the woman she had come all the way for. Audrey!

“Mine!!” Audrey growled angrily at the man.

“Yours? Indeed.” He muttered sarcastically. “I just heard my stupid wolf, scream that she is mine!!” He yelled back.

Oh goddess, no! He was really her mate. A man who literally detests the sight of her.

“Goddess!” She heard Audrey whisper in shock. Rosa wished she could just remain hidden behind Audrey, but more than anything, she felt the strong urge to show this insolent man that she wasn’t weak.

Gently pushing Audrey aside, she stepped up to him, and yelled her order. “Look at me!!”

He looked somewhat amused, and focused his gaze on her. That trick always worked. They would look at you, trying to understand your guts.

“Do you want me?” She found herself asking, and before he could think it through, he replied her question truthfully.

“Hell no.”

Taking her gaze off of him, she tried to control the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. She knew she shouldn’t care whether he wanted her or not, but it still hurt all the same. She was right after all…. a man would only bring her pain.

Still confused on what just happened, he blinked his eyes in shock. How did she just bring out the truth from him?

“I think you’ve done enough, Ryan.” Audrey muttered, and the name rang a bell in Rosa’s mind. “Let’s go, Rosa.” Audrey pulled Rosa along, leaving a confused looking Ryan behind.
