Alpha's Second Chance

-

ROSE

Enzo is an Alpha by birth! And not just any Alpha, no, the same Alpha that helped my dad. I can't imagine what it must feel like, but I know I will use the rest of my life to make sure he is happy. I was happy to know, but I was a little mad at the way Dad made him tell everyone. But I would take that with Dad tomorrow. Tonight, I just wanted to be with my family.

When it was late, the guests left, and we all went to our rooms. When Enzo and I got into my room, he put his arms around me and put his nose in my hair.

"I love your scent. It makes me feel calm and where I belong," he whispered into my hair.

"Good, because it's how it is, and always will be," I whisper back. He gets quiet for a short while but then turns me so he can see my face.

"I am sorry that I didn't tell you about my real parents," he said seriously.

"No, don't do that, don't be sorry. I understand it is something you hold close, and you are probably used to the fact that if the wrong person found out, you could have been hunted down." I tell him as I caress his face.

"But I should have trusted you with this a lot earlier. But I am so used to not being that person. I don't want to be seen as an Alpha." He admits.

"I don't blame you for not telling me, and I respect that you feel this way. How you choose to live is your choice; we'll be ours now. But you know what I mean." I tell him, and he smiles.

"You are amazing, and I am proud to have you as my mate." He says, and I laugh.

"You better be," I say and he laughs with me.

We decided to watch a movie, and I lay in his arms, him in my bed, while we watched some comedy. While we watched the movie, I felt him playing with my hair, and somewhere halfway through, I fell asleep.

I wasn't mad that King Logan made me tell who I really am. I just wish that I had already told Rose at that moment. I felt bad that I had kept it from her, and I promised myself that I would never keep anything from her again.

I caress her hair softly as she is sleeping with her head on me, using me as her pillow. I smile and relax, feeling happy and content with where I am in my life now. I can see my future with Rose, first, I am going to help her be a good fighter, in her wolf form when she has done her first shift. I know most wolves prefer that their mate is home and not fighting, but I want her to be able to protect herself. And our future kids because I want kids and a family with her. And I think we can have an amazing family, not just because of her and me. But what I saw and experienced tonight doing the dinner, it was amazing to see how her family was. And I want us to have that in the future as well. noveldrama

I will put as much strength and commitment into making our life a good life as I can. I will serve the king, well, kings, the best way I can because I have a feeling it won't be many years before Noah takes over for Logan.

I had heard Noah being called the true king, and am not sure what is meant by that. But I am sure I will find out with time. What baffled me more was the talk of shifting into two forms. But I had heard that the king and queen had but been given each one of the oldest souls, a Lycan soul. I also heard that Logan was born into it, which means that his ancestors go hundreds of years back.

All this just makes me want to show that I can be of service to the throne, whether

as a warrior, trainer, or something else. I will do whatever I can to prove myself worthy of being mated to their princess.

I must say that when Logan said he would test me, it shocked me a little. But it's also exciting that I get a chance to fight with the king, well against him, really. I am looking forward to it, and so is Rocky. We both think it will be fun.

He has kept telling me he likes it here, that it feels like he is meant to be here, that he has some sort of purpose here, so he is happy and,

like me, excited. He looks to

getting a chance to explore the forest and the mountains, and so do I. But I want to do it with Rose after she has done her shift; I think that

would be a good way to do it.

I lay here for a long time, thinking about all this while I had Rose in my arms. But eventually, I lay down properly, pulling her close into my arms, and fell asleep with her right there, feeling better than I have done for years.
