Alpha's Second Chance

OLIVIA

It's been one week since the coronation and Logan had the rest of his counsel picked out, and today was the first council meeting. I had hired a few omegas to make sure food and everything was ready, such as overnight rooms, food, and so on.

We had still not dealt with Mia, and Logan says sitting in the dungeon will teach her to not try to kill her queen. I knock on the door to the conference room that was made for these council meetings and hear someone tell me to come in. I open the door and all the wolves except Logan stand up and bow for me, and I smile at them.

"Please, everyone, you do not have to bow. Please sit down again." I say in a calm voice, and they all sit down again before I walk over to where Logan is.

"Hey Love, we were just about to start," Logan tells me as he pulls me to sit on him.

"I wanted to ask when you all would like to have lunch served," I ask softly and they all look at Logan.

"It is 10 AM now, so let us say 1 PM," Logan says and the other men agree.

"That's perfect. Thank you. You all have a good meeting." I say as I stand up. When I am with the door, I am stopped when he says something.

"Liv baby, we will deal with Mia while everyone is here. So no one can say we just abused our power." Logan says, and that makes sense.

"Okay, let me know when," I ask, and he sends me a smile before I leave the room.

When I leave the castle I have a bad feeling like something is going to happen, but I can not explain it, so

I keep walking towards the training fields. When I see the area, I am surprised, that it's not Dad I see training them but Matt.

"Hey Matt," I say, and he smiles before hugging me.

"Hey, sis." He says as he lets go, and when I look at the warriors, they are all down on one knee bowing in respect, which surprises me a little.

"Please stand up," I ask, and they do. I smile and turn to Matt.

"Where is Dad?" I ask him.

"He said he wasn't feeling well. Asked if I could do the training today." He answers.

"Okay," I say and get lost in my thoughts.

It is not unusual for wolves who lost a mate, to get sick at some point. Some go wild, like the old Alpha, while others get sick and eventually die. It is rare for wolves to actually get sick, so if Dad is not feeling well, I am a bit worried.

I tell Matt and the warriors goodbye and walk towards where our houses are, but instead of going home I enter into dad's house, and it is quiet here, almost too quiet.

"Dad?" I ask, and it doesn't take long before I hear him call.

"In here, Muffin." I hear him say and walk into the living room.

"Hey, Dad, Matt said he was not feeling well. Have you seen the doctor?" I ask, talking fast because I also fear his answer.

"Come here, Muffin." He says and looks at me. And I go sit next to him on the couch.

"Dad?" I say and look at him, and he smiles at me.

"Muffin, Listen. You know what often happens to wolves losing a mate. I have been fucky because I had something to keep fighting for. You and your brother. But you are both growerup

up now, have mates and kids.

You don't need me anymore

He

says and looks at me with soft eyes.

"But, Dad, we do." I try to say.

"No, Muffin, you don't. You are both so much more than I as your dad could have hoped for. And I am proud of you, my sweet little girl. I am proud of your both, both mostly you. I have talked with Dr. Joseph and he has helped over the last few months with his healing. But my wolf does not react anymore, and I can feel him disappearing. He will have another chance in life to find his mate again, and it is not fair I try to keep him from that." Dad says, and even though I know he is right. I close my eyes and open them again.

"How long, Dad?" I ask.

"I don't know, Muffin. But I hope I will meet the twins before I." he doesn't finish the sentence, and I nod

my head. Anna is only a few months from giving birth.

"We will help you, Dad. Whatever you need, whatever that will help you." I promise him.

"I just need my family." He says and looks at me smiling.

"What about moving into our house, Dad? Then you are close by and not here alone. Rose and Noah will

be there." I say, knowing I should have asked Logan, but I also know Logan will not mind.

"I would love that Muffin, but I don't want to invade your privacy." He tells me, and I open my mouth to answer, but someone answers before I can.

"You will not be invading Klaus. You are family and always welcome in our home. I already asked an Omega to make a room ready." Logan says from the door into the room.

"Did you know?" I ask Logan, and he shakes his head.

"Matt mindlinked me, told me, and said you had probably just gone here," Logan said as he sat down. "What about the meeting?" I ask him.

"Kyle and Desmond are there, so it will all be good. I will go back in a bit, but I wanted to be here like I said. It's family." Logan answer and sits down.

We sit here and talk as two omegas

het

that Logan asked to come go pack some of Dad's stuff to bring to our house. Then they go bringing the bags to the room that have been made ready for Dad to stay in, and we follow them back, Logan supporting Dad, who seems to be feeling really well on his legs today. When we get home, Dad is quiet, and I know he is worried, but Logan and I smile at him, and I say.

"Welcome home, Dad."
