Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 13

OLIVIA

I woke up but kept my eyes closed because something felt different, then I knew what it was. Someone small was lying close to me. I opened my eyes and looked, only to find Rose sleeping, cuddled into me, holding onto my arm. I was so focused on the sweet little girl in my arms that I had not noticed the person standing at the door.

“I moved you in here last night, hoping you would sleep better, but I guess she woke up and must have looked for you.” I looked up and found Alpha Logan leaning against the doorframe. God, he looked so strong and handsome as he stood there in jeans and a T-shirt. Then his words settled in my brain, and I looked around the room. I wasn’t in Rose’s room anymore, but in a beautifully decorated room in light colors. Guess I fell asleep last night.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” I tell him, embarrassed. He chuckles and comes over to the bed, sitting down and caressing Rose by her hair.

“No need for sorry. I am happy you stayed with her yesterday. She seems to have taken a big liking to you, and I got back late last night. I didn’t want to wake you, so I moved you from the armchair in her room to this room. I also mindlinked your father to let him know you had fallen asleep.” He tells me and smiles.

“Thank you,” I say and look down at Rose. I had felt Skye stir and try to take control for a second there while I looked at him.

“It was the least I could do. Let me take her into her room. I should probably find someone to stay with her for the day. Make sure she feels better and all.” He says as he stands up and takes her into his arms.

“If you want, I can stay with her. Anna said she had classes today at the human university. So I know she can’t come.”

“You don’t mind?” He asks, looking back at me as he is about to leave the room.

“No, but I would probably miss another training day,” I tell him.

“If you stay, I will train you tonight for an hour or so. After she has fallen asleep, if you want that.” He offers.

“Okay, deal. I will ask my dad to bring some clean clothes. And bring it to one of the rooms downstairs.” I say as I get out of bed, as I am still fully dressed from yesterday.

“You can stay in this room. It will be easier. And you are always welcome up here. Rose really likes being around you.” He says as I follow him into Rose’s room, where he puts her back into her bed.

“Okay, thank you for the trust, I mean,” I say, and he smiles.

“It is no problem.” He says as he comes close to me and walks past me.

Thirty minutes later, I came downstairs, and my dad was there with my bag, packed with some clothes. Dad gives me my bag and a hug before he goes, telling me to mindlink him if I sleep over here again. I say I will. As Alpha Logan said, we would have a training session tonight to make up for the missed training I have from being here looking after Rose.

I had not seen that the she-wolf from yesterday was here at the packhouse at this moment. So after that, dad left. I walked up the stairs and continued up to the Alphas floor. But before I got far, I was stopped by Sandra’s annoying voice.

“Where do you think you are going?” she asks, glaring at me.

“I don’t think I smile going anywhere. I know that I am going up here,” I tell her and turn to continue walking up.

“You can’t do that. Alpha, don’t let skanks like you up there.” She sneers at me.

“Sure, just if you go anywhere else than the garden, can you let me know, just so I know.” He asks.

“Yeah, of course,” I promise.

“Great, have a good day then. If anything, mindlink me. And I will make sure food is sent up. He says as he turns to leave.

I can’t help but check out his back and ass as he walks out of the room. I scold myself for acting like some horny crazy slut.

The day is going by fast. Rose insists on watching all the beauty and the beast movies. Then we went for a walk and ended up at my grandparent’s house, where my grandma made lunch and baked cookies.

After we left, we went back to the house. I went to her room, and then we talked about her birthday wishes. She also talked a lot about Alpha Logan, but she never said anything about her mom. And I didn’t ask.

At night time, I sang her to sleep instead of a bedtime story, and after three Disney songs and one I had written myself, she was sound asleep.

I went into my room and changed into my training shorts and sports bra, and decided to take on an oversized t-shirt over it. I had received a mindlink from Alpha Logan that told me to go to his private gym on this floor. So I went and opened the door he had said was to the gym, and boy, this was really a gym. There were several fitness machines, mostly for training muscles. But there was also some for cardio And more. On one wall, there was a mirror, and on another were windows.

I went to the treadmill and began running with my air pods in my ears to warm up. Then I went to the punching bag, training hits and kicks. I was so concentrated I didn’t notice when Alpha Logan entered the room.
