A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

I was back to my previous position. Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, and staring into it mindlessly. All that was really on my mind, were the things that had taken place during the coronation, earlier today. I was still in shock and couldn’t really come to terms with Logan’s new form. He had defeated Sebastian without as much as a blow. All those in support of his rebellion had all been imprisoned, awaiting punishment next week. Not only did Ryan deceive Sebastian, he also revealed to the entire kingdom, how Sebastian had been long planning a rebellion.

Logan’s father had been so furious, especially after hearing what had been done to his ex wife.

No one had to tell me what was going to happen to my parents. They were both going to die, and there was nothing I could do to help them. I couldn’t even help myself.

I found it unbelievable that Logan hadn’t tried to stop Chief Drakos from crowning me as Queen. In fact, he wore those smiles that didn’t really reach his eyes. I had never been so scared in my life. His eyes had held promises of worse things to come for me, and it made me feel those chills down my spine.

He should have just exposed me and let them taken me in chains, just like the rest of the rebels. Now I couldn’t really tell my fate, and there was nothing more pathetic.

I looked around the empty room and sighed in mental exhaustion. It was already night, but he was yet to show up. That only made me more apprehensive.

As I went over to the bed and laid in wait for him, I couldn’t help but picture the frightened faces of my parents. They had always been the tough kind, so seeing them so helpless was heartwrenching. I knew they were bad people, but so was I. I was supposed to be suffering with them, not made to watch it all like I was a saint. It was much more torture for me.

I wasn’t sorry for Sebastian or his mother. He had raped me, and I was so sure she knew about it, yet did nothing. She had even been responsible for the disappearance of Queen Brienne, in the most unbelievable way.

I remember looking at the extremely beautiful woman, and all I could feel was regrets. The memory of taunting Logan with the disapperance of his mother had dropped in my head, and I found myself tearing up.

Yes, I may have apologized to him, but it didn’t make him hurt less. I guess I was sadder when I realized she hadn’t really left on her own will.

Goddess! I was such a terrible person.

“Your majesty.” I heard a knock on the door. ‘Your Majesty’. Months back, I would have done anything to have this title, but now, it suddenly seemed like a burden.

“Yes. Please come in.” I invited, and my new maid stepped in. Apparently, Alara had been nowhere to be seen, since the coronation. She had probably absconded, scared to be taken as one of the culprits. I truly hoped to she made it out safely. She may have betrayed me, but she was good to me while it lasted.

“Princess Layla insists you have something to eat.”

I had rejected the first meal brought to our chambers, too distraught to think of anything else. But it seems Layla wasn’t going to be having it. What struck me the most, was the fact that she was actually going through an emotional phase at the moment, but still thought about me.

She had just met her mother for the first time since she was born. The woman looked just a couple of years older than her, and that was a lot to take in. What’s worst, was seeing her formally wolfless brother, turn into the most intimidating creature there was.

They said he had 3 genes; Vampire, werewolf, and witch genes. A Tribrid. It was safe to say that he was the most powerful person in the supernatural universe.

It was humbling, how one could go from ‘nothing’ to ‘everything’. Even if I truly started to appreciate him as he was, I initially thought he was weak and useless to me. Now, that wasn’t the case.

Here I was, praying that the punishment meted out on my parents, would be merciful enough to spare their lives. And somehow, they had found themselves imprisoned by the very same man whom they thought was powerless.

“Your majesty.” The new maid called my attention, and I quickly pulled myself from my pitiable thoughts.

“I’m sorry.” I muttered.

“Not at all.” She quickly shook her head in disagreement.

“What about Logan? Has anyone seen him yet?”

“Oh? The king?” She muttered. “No one has actually seen or heard from him since the coronation. But Princess Layla insists he is safe.”

I guess that was the most important thing after all. His safety.

“Queen Brienne and the witches?” I asked, unsure.

“Same thing. They have all not been seen since the coronation.”

“Alright.” I nodded. “Thank you. You can leave now.” I muttered my instruction. She gave a low bow and left. Now, I was left alone with a tray of food that wasn’t appetizing to me at all.

Covering myself with a duvet, I closed my eyes and tried to shut the rest of the world out.

9 DAYS LATER.

“Please!! Please don’t let him!!” She yelled in my head. I looked up at his face and found that I was still powerless beneath him. “Pleeaasee.” I muttered weakly, but I felt his fingers dig deep into my wrist, sucking out some blood with it. Tears dropped down my cheeks as I struggled against his tight clutches.

“Please, I’m begging you! Don’t!!”

“Audrey!”

Immediately, I woke up from my terrible nightmare, to see Layla sitting on the other side of my bed.

“Layla.” I released a sigh.

“You had a bad dream?” She asked, and tears filled my eyes instantly. For days unending, I continued to dream of Sebastian’s assault on me.

“Yes.” I weakly nodded. “But I’ll be fine.” She looked at me in sympathy, and opened her arms to me.

“Come here.” She whispered, and I found myself going into her embrace. “I know you feel sad for your parents. It’s very understandable. But then, what they had done is…..”

“Horrible.” I muttered, seeing as she was at loss of how to express herself.

“Exactly.” She whispered. “And I know you miss Logan. He would return soon.”

“You think?” I foolishly asked, and she chuckled. “I mean, he’s been gone for 9 days.” These days, I really didn’t know how to respond to statements concerning Logan. I didn’t know my place in his life anymore, and I wasn’t blaming anyone. It was all my fault.

“Of course!! This is his palace. He ain’t leaving it for anyone else.” She laughed, then suddenly took on a more serious expression.

Gently pulling away so she could look at my face, she released a deep sigh.

“Look, I don’t know what issues you both may be facing, but you can always work it out. That is why you are mates. This is a forever thing.”

“I was…. I am the issue.” I muttered. “And no matter what I do, he might never see me the same way again. And I feel more terrible when you’re so nice to me, because I’m undeserving.”

“Goddess!! Do not say that.” She chastised, and we both went silent for a moment. After a while, she spoke up again. “Did you really do something so horrible?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Layla, I hurt your brother in the worst way possible. And regardless of the fact that I finally had a turning point, I was too late to redeem myself. You would most certainly hate me when you know what I’ve done. And this bond we are….” I was still talking when she shut me up in an unbelievable manner.

Did Layla just throw up on my face?!! Still in shock, a knock was heard on the door.

“Your majesty!” That was definitely the new maid. More than a week, and I still haven’t asked for her name. “His Majesty has returned!” That information felt like a bucket of cold ice had been poured on me.

I definitely missed Logan, but I didn’t need anyone to tell me that wasn’t the case for him.

“Thank you.” I muttered, with half my face covered in Layla’s vomit.
