Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 3

OLIVIA

Matt had refused to say anything about what Carter had said and what he had answered him and just said I would understand soon. Dad had been asleep when we got home, so we went straight to bed.

When I wake up, the house is quiet, and I look at the time and see it is already 9 in the morning. This makes me wonder because usually, dad would have had us out running like we do every morning. Before going downstairs, I get out of bed and find my sweatpants and hoodie.

Halfway down the stairs, I hear dad and Matt talk.

“She knows something is up, dad.”

“What do you mean?”

“Carter came to us on our way home and told us not to come back and stay at Blood Moon, where she would be safe. I don’t think he meant any harm, though, but just wanted to help.”

“Carter is a good boy. He never liked the way his dad acted enter his mother’s death.”

“Yes, but now Liv is suspicious. I don’t think she actually knows what is going on with Alpha. But it’s clear she has been feeling uncomfortable.” Matt says.

“I will talk to her when we have left here and are safely in Blood Moon.”

There is no answer to dad’s words, and after that and they begin to talk about other stuff. I know something is going on, and this something has something to do with me. After a little I move again and enter the kitchen, seeing both of them sitting by the table where breakfast is served.

“Morning, Muffin. Did you sleep well?” My dad asks

“Yes, we not going running?” I ask him, and he shakes his head.

“I thought a day off was okay, so we have time to pack so we can leave in the morning.”

“Okay, dad,” I say without showing he is hiding something.

After breakfast, I go back to my room, find my biggest travel bag, and pack almost all my clothes in it. And in my smaller bag, I pack my personal stuff and a few items I have from my mom. I have a feeling that I will not be coming back here, so I want to be sure I have all the most important things packed.

After I am done, I walk downstairs again to find dad. I find him in the kitchen talking on his phone, so I sit down and wait for him to finish.

“That’s great, thank you. We will see you all tomorrow, probably in the late afternoon.” Dad says before hanging up.

“That was your grandma. She can’t wait to see you and Matt. Did you finish packing?” He asks.
