Alpha's Second Chance
CHAPTER 7

LOGAN

Goddess, she is beautiful and just simply incredible. And her scent was driving me and Titan crazy. Ihad to get her out of there so we could calm down. Linking our hands with the cuts in our palmsdidn't just make the regular surge of power.

No, my entire body felt like a dozen firecrackers went off, and my skin sparked. The only other timesI had ever felt like that was when I was mated to Mia, and not even then had it felt this strong. Iknow she felt it, that it was the reason her legs gave out on her, and I had to help her. Not that Imind. Having her close had felt amazing.

There is only one problem, well actually there are two, but I am not too worried about one of them.One: She is only 17, and there is about a month until she turns 18. I could tell her. But I don't wantto do that. I want her to experience the matebond and the magical feeling of replaceing her mate.Two: There is a psychotic Alpha wanting to claim her. And this alone creates other problems.

Three: She might fear and will be afraid of being close to an Alpha. So I will have to show her shecan trust me slowly. So she won't want to reject me when she turns 18.

Four: I need to protect her.

My office door opens, and Luca comes in and sits down in the chair across from me. He looks at mebut says nothing. He just sits there and looks at me. He has seen the process before, but I am alsosure he has never seen it the way it happened with Olivia.

“Is she your mate?” He asks, looking at me with his deep gray eyes. Luca knows me better thananyone. He has been my best friend since we were kids.

“Yes.” I don't know what else to say. He nods her head.

“You think she sensed it?" He asks.

“I don't know. I mean, I know she felt something. But I don’t think she knows what it meant. Plus,with how much the blood share affected her dad and brother, I don't think she put that much intoit.”

"Alright, well. I am guessing you don't want to tell her yet? So you will have time to get to know her,let her get to know you. House was not stocked with food yet, so they will come here to eattonight.”

“And that is exactly what I am planning to do. And that is fine.” I answer.

Luca leaves, and I walk upstairs. I didn't get the chance to shower yet after my run. So I walk to mybathroom, undress, and step under the shower.

After my shower, I went back to my office to make plans for increasing patrols and plans to makesure that Olivia will be safe here. Before I knew it, the evening had arrived, and it was dinnertime. Ileft my office and walked towards the dining hall and nearly had a heart attack. I see Rose rushingdown the stairs dressed in one of her princess costumes when she straps in the dress and flies downthe stairs. Everything happens so fast, and I move fast to catch her when I see a blonde comerushing and catch her before she hits anything and gets hurt.

I freeze when her scent hits me, and my eyes replace her blue ones as she turns around now with Rosesafely in her arms. I lock any other sound out, and I hear the giggles coming from Rose, and I seeOlivia smile at her.

"Are you sure that you are not hurt?” I hear Olivia ask.

"Yes. You caught me.” Rose squeals.

“Good. What is your name, little one.” Olivia asks again.

"Rosalie, but everyone calls me Rose, except for daddy. He calls me princess,” Rose tells her happily.“An honor to meet you, princess Rose, be careful in the future, so you don't fall into your longbeautiful dresses. So you don't hurt yourself.” Olivia says in a playful official voice.

“I promise.” Rose promised, and Olivia put her back on the floor. Rose turns around and sees me.“Daddy!” She runs to me in and out of the packmembers that are coming to the packhouse to eatdinner. When she reached me, she jumped, so I had to catch her, and she put her arms around myneck.

“Rose, you need to be careful. If Olivia did see you falling, you could have gotten hurt.” I scold her.And she looks down.

“Sorry, daddy.” She says.

"Did you say thank you to Olivia?” I ask. And she looks as if she forgot something, but before I cansay something, Olivia's soft voice speaks.

“It is okay. I am just happy she didn't hurt herself.” She says and smiles softly when she looks atRose. But then her eyes replace mine, and she blushes.

“Thank you, Olivia.”

“It is no problem. You have a cute daughter.” She smiles

“Thank you.” She smiles and then walks back to her dad and brother.

“She is nice, daddy. I like her,” Rose says, and I smile.

We enter the dining hall, where many are already seated by the tables, and I walk op on the slightlyraised platform where the table for me, the Alpha, my family, and Beta have our seats. I put Rose inher chair and then asked for silence.

"Good evening, all. Normally I just let you come in and start eating. But tonight, I will take theopportunity to welcome three new packmembers. Warrior Klaus, his son Matt, who is also a warrior,and last, his daughter Olivia, who will be turning eighteen in about a month. Matt and Olivia are thegrandparents of Michael and Nina Jones.” I pause

"I expect everyone to welcome them into our pack and help them get comfortable with us here inBlood Moon Pack.” I finish. The packmembers mess, “ Yes, Alpha.” And then we all begin to eat.The food here in the dining hall is always served like a buffet. That way, people can take what theylike. After getting food for Rose and myself, I sit down to eat. While eating, I can't help but scan thedining hall looking for her. But when I see her, I have to hold back a growl when I see one of theyounger packmembers, Ryan trying to get Olivia's attention. It does, however, not look like she isinterested at all. She leaves with her dad and brother when she is done eating.

When it's getting to bedtime for Rose, she keeps talking about Olivia and about how fast shecaught her when she came down the stairs. And I like that Rose has taken such a big liking to Olivia.When I go to bed tonight, I do it with a calm feeling.
