Alpha's Second Chance
CHAPTER 20

LOGAN

Seeing someone from my pack replace their mate is something I have always enjoyed. We watchedthem leave the packhouse, and I glanced at Liv. She still does not look at me, and it is starting to getto me.

“I have one phone call. Could you be with Rose till I am done?” I ask her, hoping she will look at meso I can see her beautiful eyes.

"Yes, it's fine. I will always be here for Rose.” She says and finally looks at me before going up thestairs. It might be wrong, but I can’t help but hope that spending time with Rose will make her morewilling to listen to me.

OLIVIA

After we had watched Matt and Anna replace out they are mates and leave to talk and get to knoweach other, I agreed to look after Rose for a little while. I walked upstairs and into her room, whereshe was playing with her dolls. When she saw me, she jumped up and ran into my arms.

“Olivia, I missed you!” She squeals.

"You saw me this morning.” I laughed, but she nodded seriously.

"Yes, but you were sleeping, and daddy said not to wake you up.”

“I am here now. What you say, should we get you a bath so you are clean and ready for bed whenyour dad comes?” I ask, trying to lead her away from me, sleeping in Logan's bed this morning."Okay, will you sleep here again?” She asks.

“Sorry, sweetie, but no,” I tell her while getting her to the bathroom.

“Okay.” She says, sounding sad.

"Hey now, I need to go home today, so I can replace songs to sing for your birthday,” I tell her, and shelightens up.

I get her bathed, put a pajama on her, and then put her to bed, getting her ready for when Logancomes. After an hour or so, I hear him come onto the floor, and looking up, he comes to sight in thedoor. Rose yells happily, making him chuckle.

"Hey princess, ready for your bedtime story?” he asks and smiles when she jumps on the bed.

"Yes, daddy, Olivia helped me.” She says

I get up and walk over to the dresser where I had put my phone and the hoodie that I had taken off.I took it on, put my phone in my pocket, and walked over to give Rose a goodnight hug.

"You leaving?” She asked me sadly.

"Yes, sweetie. You need to sleep.” I said and smiled.

“But daddy going to tell a story. I don’t want you to leave, stay with us.” She pleaded.

“I am sure your daddy would like some time with you, princess.” I tried, but she kept looking at mewith big sad eyes.

“But.” Rose began when Logan interrupted.

“Stay Liv. I am sure she will fall asleep fast.” Logan says, and I sigh softly before I go lay down, andshe snuggles into me.

Logan didn't say anything more. But I began telling a story about a Prince that searched for hisprincess, he was a good storyteller, and before I knew it, Rose had fallen asleep in my arms. I lookedat Logan silently, asking him for help to get free. He chuckled softly but helped me lift Rose away soI could get out of bed. I walked out of the room, feeling Logan walking behind me.

LOGAN

I had been tempted to let her stay trapped in Rose's bed. But by helping her, I hope to gain a littleappreciation. I followed her out of the room, and she stopped up, turning to look at me.

“Logan, I” I didn't let her finish. I grabbed her face, made her look at me, and kissed her before shecould stop me.

For the first few seconds, she did not kiss me back, but then her soft lips began to move with mine. Igently pushed her up against the wall caging her between the wall and me. With my hands on thewall, my arms helped make her cage.

The kiss gets heated, and I nibble on her lip to make her let me in, and she does. I let my tonguetaste and play with hers. When she moaned into my mouth, I could no longer keep my hands on thewall, and I gently traced them down her sexy body, until they were on her ass, and I lifted her up.Her legs instantly came around my waist, and her hands were in my hair.

We both need air and reluctantly pull away from her mouth. I look into her eyes, and they areburning with lust and desire. Sniffing the air, I can smell her arousal, and it makes me hard as fuck. Ikiss her again softly.

“I never have and will never touch Sandra in any way more than a packmember. She caught me offguard, Liv. Fuck, the only reason she did was that I was thinking of you. I have not been with anyonein more than six months. Liv, you are not and will never be a number among many. Granted, I am noangel, and yes, I have been with other she-wolves after Mia left. But you are different.” I whispersoftly against her ear.

I look at her, and I see her eyes are glassy as if she is trying not to cry. I don't want her to cry. I wanther happy.

“Liv, I don't just see you as something or someone I can use to make the time go on. I genuinely likeyou a lot.”

“What if I replace my mate just when I get eighteen?” She asks, not knowing she will.

“Then the ball is in your hands, Liv. I will back off unless you tell me differently.” I promise her. Shelooked at me for a long time. Then she did something I had not expected. She kisses me.

With her legs around my waist and my hands on her ass, I carry her to my room, not stoppingbefore we are on the bed, her under me and her hands caressing my muscles. I gently nib on herearlobe and kiss down her neck, nibbling on the skin where my mark will be when she replaces out I amher mate.
