Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 168

LOGAN

I am woken up by Olivia, who looks like she has seen a ghost. Her feelings are all over the place, and I am awake right away.

“Babe, what’s wrong, are you okay?” I ask her, and she shakes her head.

I went to the waterfall, and I could not sleep. The moon goddess came. She told me some stuff about Dad, but she also had an important message for you.” She says fast and without breathing.

“What is it?” I ask standing up and gently making her sit down before sitting on my knees in front of her.

“What did she say? Talk to me, baby,” I tell her softly holding her face in my hands.

“Another goddess, Nyx, the goddess of, of.” She says but I finish her sentence.

“Goddess of night,” I say.

“Yes her…” she says nodding her head.

“What about Nyx? Did the moon-goddess say something?” I ask her, and she nods her head.

“She told me that Nyx and she never were friends. And she said the old vampire king had been killed by someone else, who is now the king.” She says, and I am not sure where she wants to go with this.

“She said that the new vampire king hates our kind. And the goddess, Nyx I mean has taken advantage of this. And the god Erebus, her lover, is helping her.” Liv explains.

“Taking advantage of what, that the new vampire king doesn’t like us wolves?” I ask her.

“Yes, she wants to help him with attacking us. To start a war. Between them and us. She can not physically help him, but she can push him to do what she wants him to do.”

“And she wants him to break the old treaty between us and them? For what reason?” I ask.

“There is no reason. It's only because she doesn’t like the moon goddess. I do not know why, she did not tell me.” Liv tells me, and her panic gets worse.

This is bad, this is really, really bad. The last war between our two races was bad, with thousands of deaths on both sides. Hostages are being held and abused and in the end, killed. Females are being raped by vampires forcing them to carry a child that would be a hybrid.

“Okay. This isn't good. But this time we are being warned, we can already now warn the packs to make arrangements for the smaller ones. To say we can be prepared would be a lie, but we won’t be completely unprepared.” I tell her to try to calm her down.

“We need to start making plans now, and we can not wait.” She says and she is right, but I also know she needs some sleep. So I moved her to lie down in the bed and help her get off her clothes. And lay down, pulling her into my arms.

“Right now, you need to sleep baby. We will start planning in the morning. So for now. Sleep. I will keep you safe. And when you wake up, tell me what she told you about your dad.” I whisper in her ear, and then I caress her softly, making her feel safe and calm until she falls asleep.
