Alpha's Second Chance
CHAPTER 14

LOGAN

The day had finally come to an end after again being on the phone most of the day. I knew Oliviahad taken Rose out to visit her grandparents, and she had mindlinked when they were back.

When she told me she was getting a very tired Rose to bed, I let her know to meet me at mypersonal gym. After wrapping up one last call, I went up to my room to change into a pair ofsweatpants and a T-shirt before I walked into my gym.

I froze when I entered. I knew she would be there, but. One I had not expected her to bring dressedin only a tiny pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Two, when I entered, she was deeplyconcentrated on working out the punching bag. I couldn't help but stop and admire how easily shewent from on a series of hits to put in a kick here and there, both knee and feet. And it did not slipmy attention how her body moved as she was moving.

Fuck, I muttered to myself when I realized she had air pods in her ears, so she could not hear me.Then she made a move that made her turn around, and she saw me standing here looking at her.She stopped and took out her air pods, and I smiled, trying to push every other thought away rightnow.

“You have some very fluent moves when you fight. It is impressive,” I tell her, making her blush alittle.

“Thank you. I had a good trainer.” She answers, and I smile. She is right, though. Her dad wasphenomenal, and he had actually made me sweat a little at our friendly fight yesterday.

“I agree your father is amazing, but you would have to have some talent to be so advanced or reallydedicated,” I tell her.

"He wanted me to be able to protect myself. Unlike my mom, who was more of a party planner thana fighter. She hated to fight.” She tells me, and I nod my head.

“Well, no matter who or how it is easy to see you are a great fighter. I don't think I can teach you alot of new stuff. But I will be more than happy to improve whatever you feel needs improvement.” Itell her and smile.

“Thank you. Given my situation and the reason we moved here, I want to have a better chance ofkeeping myself safe.” She says seriously.

“I can understand what you mean. But I do hope you know that you are safe here.” I tell her just asseriously, and she nods her head. I walk onto the mat and look at her.

“let's spar,” I say, and she comes to join me.

The following 45 minutes go with hitting and kicking at each other. I winch inside a few times. WhenI could see on her face, I hit too hard. I never want to hurt her. But she never as much as gave a cryof pain.

I grab onto her locking her in my arms with her back against me, and she struggles for a bit. Thenshe stills and laughs.

“I might be god. But not much I can do with an Alpha holding me like this. You're just too strong.”She laughs again. I chuckle and loosen my hold on her, only for her to drop to the ground before around kick sweeps my legs away from under me. She had just not anticipated I would fall in herdirection, but I was fast enough to block the fall with my hands so I didn't fall on her.

Holding myself up, I was hovering above her and crocked an eyebrow. I could have seriously hurther. But at the same time, I can't help but like the position we are in right now. Both of us werebreathing hard.

“Sorry, I didn't think that one through.” She says, realizing she could have gotten hurt. I move andlay on the mat next to her.

"Was a good move if only I hadn't almost crushed you,” I say and smile.

We lay here for a while talking. She told me what she had done together with Rose all day. And Icould hear how much she enjoyed being with her, which made me happy.

“Is it okay for me to ask something? you don't have to answer it.” Little does she know she can askme anything, and I will tell her.

"Of course, you can,” I tell her, and I move to lie on my side, looking at her. God, she is beautiful."What happened to Rose's mom?” she asks. I had known she would ask at some point.

"She left when Rose was a few months old,” I tell her.

"What? Just like that?” She sits up, but I stay where I am, fighting the urge to pull her to me. I nodmy head.

“She said she didn't want this life, being a mother or Luna. She chose to reject me, the family bondto Rose, and the link to our pack, then she left.” She looks at me.

“I am sorry, but what the hell? She must be stupid to leave her baby and her mate.” She burst out.Then she looked apologetic.

“I am sorry. I didn't mean to insult your mate.” She says. And I chuckle darkly.

“She is not my mate anymore. Don't ever hide what you really want to say, Liv. I like your honesty.” Itell her. I was looking at her.

She lay down again on the side facing me. None of us say anything for a long time. She yawns andthen laughs.

“I should get to bed.” She says, and I smile and jump to stand before reaching my hand down topull her up.

She stumbles when she goes up, and I hold on to her, which makes her stand close to me. My heartis beating fast. Some of her hair fell out of her ponytail, and I pushed it behind her ear. Feeling thesparks, I know she most likely doesn't feel. But she blushes when I touch her, and I smile.

“You are a beautiful girl Olivia. Whoever your mate is, he is a lucky guy,” I tell her. Not telling her Iam that guy that feels lucky. She blushes.

"Who knows, maybe he won't like a mate as trained as me.” If only she knew, I would tell her howmuch it turns me on knowing she won't just break. I look into her eyes and smile. Without noticing,we have both moved, so we stand close together.

“If not, he is a fool,” I tell her, and she smiles. I can't entirely stop myself, and I gently run my thumbover her lips, and she doesn't stop me. I bend my head down. I was drawn in by her delicious scentand beautiful eyes.

“A really big fool,” I whisper, then I capture her lips with mine, and she does not push me away.Instead, she holds onto my arms, and I place my hands on her face, holding her gently as I feel andtaste her sweet lips. I let my tongue run over them, and she gave me access to taste her mouth andlet my tongue play with hers.

I know I need to stop, that I should stop. But when she doesn't protest, I lay my hands on her waistand lift her up. She automatically wraps her legs around my waist, and I gently push her up againstthe wall. And I feel her hands coming to my hair as we stand here kissing each other, tasting eachother. As she raised her arms a little, her oversized t-shirt moved, so my hands were on the skin ofher waist. She moaned a little, and then she pulled her head away and blushed heavily.

“I... Uhm.” She whispers. I interrupt her and give her another kiss and smile.

“I know, and I won't push it. But I like you, Liv. You are a special girl.” I say, and she blushes again.“I... I like you too. You always make me feel good, and for some reason, it feels like you calm mywolf.” She whispers. I smile. But instead of answering, I kiss her again

We stand here for a while before I leave the room and take her to my bedroom. I gently put her onmy bed, hovering above her as I bend down and kiss her. God, I can’t get enough of her lips.

“Alp. Uh, Logan. I, I need to go shower. I smell of sweat.” She stammers, and I chuckle beforemoving to be next to her.

"Shower with me? Then sleep here next to me. I won't do anything, I promise. One word, and I willdo whatever you say.” I say, looking at her.
