Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 18

OLIVIA

I hurried home and ran to my room and bathroom before turning on the water. Stepping in under the shower, I can no longer stop the tears from escaping my eyes. I get mad at myself. I am not this girl. I decide to let it go and go on as if last night had not happened.

As I get dressed, I feel a mindlink. Thinking that it is dad, I open it.

‘Liv?’ I go quiet when I realize it is Logan, not my dad.

‘Alpha.’ I answer.

‘Liv, nothing is going on with Sandra. She just.’ I don’t let him finish.

‘Alpha, what and who you do it with is none of my business. You already had a mate. No one will judge you. You can be with who and how many you want to. But I am not that kind of girl, and I don’t want to just be one between others. I will come by tomorrow and see if you still want help with planning Rose’s birthday.’ I tell him.

‘You are not one between many, Liv. Will you at least listen to what I say?’ He asks.

‘Did you still want help with the planning?’ I ask, not answering, and it goes quiet for a while.

‘Yes, I would like that.' He finally answers.

‘Okay. See you tomorrow then.’ I answer and then close the mindlink.

I begin to cry again. I had not realized how much he had found his way into my head and my heart. I lay in my bed for a while when my phone tells me I have an incoming call, and I see Anna’s name on the screen.

“Hey,” I say when I answer the call.

“Jason is driving me into town. Do you want to come? You mentioned the other day you wanted to get Rose a birthday present.” Anne asks.

“Sure, that would be nice,” I say.

“Awesome. I need to meet some classmates fast, but Jason will be there. Meet us by the packhouse. Jason’s car is there today.”

“Okay, see you soon,” I say, and the call ends.

I get out of bed and look in my closet. I find a pair of skinny jeans and an off-shoulder shirt with ¾ sleeves. And then my sneakers. I let my hair hang freely today. Then I grab my phone and wallet and leave the house. It doesn’t take me long to reach the packhouse, and I see them standing next to a silver Porsche.

“Hey,” Anna squeals, and I laugh.
