A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

9 HOURS LATER

I woke up abruptly, looking around the shrine. Nothing felt different, asides the fact that it wasn’t morning anymore. I stood up from the…

Wait a minute, I thought I had fallen on a bare floor? Why was I laying on a mat and…..

Suddenly, that particular memory flooded into my senses.

‘Audrey Chadwick, daughter of Dean and Marion. Descendant of the great Aaron Chadwick, be humble and fulfil your destiny. Do not abandon that little cub, for within, is his strength and power like that of a lion.’

That was it…. That was what happened the last time I visited the shrine. The moon goddess had spoken to me! But how?

Those words continued to resound in my mind, and I quickly sprung to my feet. Was this a sign? My destiny is with Logan, and none other. Logan was my destiny.

“Logan is my destiny.” I repeated those words as I paced around the shrine in slight confusion.

Soon, I had a new resolve. I was going to do all it took, to stand by Logan. I had to tell Logan everything! I didn’t need the king, I would just tell Logan.

I wasn’t expecting to be praised for my mistakes, but I needed to make things right, and start on a fresh slate with my mate. I had never felt more courageous.

Rushing out of the shrine, I made my way through the garden, and towards our chambers. Indeed, it was already evening, and I wondered how long I had been unconscious for. That alone was all the evidence I needed to see that this was my wake up call. Regardless of how strange and unbelievable the whole situation was, I had to act fast because we were running out of time. Hopefully, he was going to forgive me, and I was going to make a special plea for my family’s safety.

I had a lot to say to Logan. Unable to help the smile on my face, I released a chuckle. I was so whipped! But whatever the matter, he had to know that I loved him too. I loved him!! Yes, this had to be love. I was literally going crazy.

Taking the next turn into the hallway leading to our chambers, I suddenly felt someone grab my arm from behind. Even before I could turn to see him, I knew who it was.

“Sebastian.” I whispered, a huge lump of fear lodging in my throat. I felt him sniff my neck from behind, making my skin undoubtedly crawl. He didn’t say a word in return, instead he dragged me towards the opposite direction.

Not wanting to cause a scene, I followed him quietly. Moreover, he had to know that I was no longer interested in being a part of his plans. I knew it was going to be a messy conversation, but what I didn’t know was that it was about to be the beginning of my nemesis.

The moment we got to his chambers, he opened the door and pushed me in. I found it weird that there were no guards stationed at his door post.

“You reek of him!” He growled in anger. His anger was the least of my problems, because I couldn’t help but take note of the unusual smell that circulated his room.

“Sebastian…..” I sighed. “I no longer want a part in this. Please.” I whispered, dreading his reaction.

“You have been fucking that bastard, not so?”

“Do not refer to him as that.” I found myself saying, even before I could comprehend it. His sardonic laughter only made chills run down my spine.

“So because he has been gallivanting the entire palace with you, in the name of practicing your abilities, you suddenly think he is a better man than I am?” His statement provoked me, but I tried to keep it together.

“Sebastian you never really wanted me to attain my full potentials. You never wanted me to be stronger….”

“Ryan accepted to support me.” He said, cutting me off. I felt my heart fall to the pit of my stomach.

“That’s not true.” I whispered, looking anywhere but at him, to hide the apparent fear in my eyes. How could that be?

“Oh, but it is.” He grinned wickedly. “It is. In a matter of days, I wouldn’t show mercy when I kill your mate, and make you mine.” He said, walking towards me.

“I won’t be yours, Sebastian.” I shook my head in refusal, slowly inching backwards. “I really never have.” I whispered.

“What?” He sneered. “You suddenly think changing sides now, would grant you a happily ever after with Logan? What would he say when he finds out you were so ecstatic to oust him, so I could become king?”

“I would tell him all of that!” I yelled out confidently, holding back the tears that threatened to drop from my eyes. These past few days, I had been a weeping mess. That was probably what I deserved for making the wrong decisions.

“Oh really?” He came closer. “Would you also tell him how I had fucked you silly?”

“That was before I found out he was my mate!”

“Okay, fair enough.” He shrugged. “How about the kisses? Even while he was away in the cold moon pack?” At his words, I went silent. My lips quivered in fear, but I refused to bend. “What about your parents? They could be killed for this. Oh, how disappointed they’d be in you.” I went silent for a straight minute, before finally finding my voice.

“I still choose him.” I muttered, tears falling from my eyes. I turned and was about running out of his chambers, but frowned when I found it impossible to do so. I tried to get to his door, but there seemed to be some sort of unseen barricade preventing me. What was happening?

I turned to query him, but was surprised to see him just in front of me, a weird looking flower pot in his hand. He was burning the flower….? As soon as the smoke from the flower pot hit my nostrils, I felt my pupils painfully constrict. What was happening?

“Alara was right after all.” Sebastian muttered as I fought to understand what was happening to me. I tried to raise my hand, but found it difficult to. “She knew you’d betray us.” He snickered. I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was in danger. I didn’t know what hurt me more. The fact that Sebastian could hurt me, or the fact that my personal maid was his informant.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t go down without a fight. I tried to invoke my abilities, but couldn’t even focus properly. My pupils continued to constrict painfully, the more I tried to invoke them.

“Quit the drama, Audrey. You could be strong, but not enough to overpower the effect of this witch’s magic.” He said, raising the pot in his hand for emphasis.

“Sebastian, you’re hurting me.” I managed to say, sweat breaking out on my forehead as my legs began to give up on me.

“You hurt me first.” He muttered flatly, that dead tone in his voice.

“Don’t worry, I just want a last taste. Something to make your mate go crazy, if he does have a wolf inside him. What other way to make him painfully distracted before the coronation?” I couldn’t fully understand what he meant, but I tried to inch away, when he grabbed my waist and squeezed my ass. “Don’t bother struggling, love. It’s only in your head, you can’t really make any movements. If this magic is as effective as I was told, you’d remain incapacitated for atleast, half an hour.”

“No.” I shook my head, the dread of not being able to control my own body, setting in. “Please.” I muttered weakly.

“No, don’t beg me now. Do it when you’re underneath me.” He muttered seductively, kissing my neck, but it only made me want to throw up.

He carried me and roughly threw me on the bed, but I really couldn’t feel a thing. I tried to scream for help, but no words seemed to be coming out of my lips. I was devastated.

‘Audrey!!!’ My wolf yelled in panic, but there was nothing I could do to help us. How was all these happening to me? Why did I make the mistake of following him to his chambers? I could feel my legs being spread apart by him, and struggled so hard to ward him off.

‘Please!! No no no!!!’ My wolf screamed in my head, making more tears roll down my cheeks. ‘Please don’t let him do this to us!!’ She continued to screamed. She was clearly repulsed by him, now she had been with her true mate.

‘Ahhhhh!!!!!’ She screamed loudly as Sebastian invaded my body.

As he violated me, my wolf continued to cry and scream in pains, until she finally went silent. I tried connecting with her, but couldn’t get through. I could still hear Sebastian grunting above me, and was slowly losing my consciousness. Soon enough, I fainted.

Blinking my eyes open, I tried to make out my environment, but everything seemed foggy to me. Slowly, my eyes began to gain focus, and I could make out his figure. I had thought coming back to consciousness would rid me off such a terrible dream, but it wasn’t a dream. There, he was. A man I once loved, rocking his chair back and forth in amusement, just after raping me. I couldn’t explain how I felt. Dirty. Broken. Regretful.

Realizing I could finally move my body, though weakly, I stood up. All the while, he just watched me in silence.

I found it difficult to stand on both feet, but I managed. I was emotionally broken, but I wasn’t gonna give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I realized I was just in my bra, and looked to the edge of the bed to see the top of my pajamas. Picking it up and weakly throwing it on, I began to button up. Suddenly, I began to hear Sebastian’s laughter, and felt my heart constricting in my chest. I was such a fool.

“Look who we have here. Great company. It’s a shame you missed out on all the fun.”

Immediately, I turned back to see Logan at the door. The tears in his eyes, was one that would haunt me for the rest of my life.
