Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 69

OLIVIA

It is my first time at the tournament, so I am really excited to be here. It’s completely quiet for a few seconds before Alpha Kyle yells.

“LET THE GAMES BEGIN”

Everyone cheers and claps. As an elder walks onto the field and calls for all the wolves that will be in the first competition. There is so much noise while they get ready, and I look at the field and see there is only one girl between the contestants. I already know that there aren’t many she-wolves in the competition. Because most of the packs still live in the belief that only men can compete. I can’t wait till I can be in the competition.

All of a sudden, a loud voice sounds in the speakers I now notice. They must have been prepared for all the noise there would be with so many wolves in one place. The elder now explains the rules and what will happen if anyone cheats.

Now every contestant is in the rightful spot, and everyone is waiting in silence and then.

“Three, two, One, GO.”

It is like a pistol goes off, the competing wolves start running, and the audience blows up in cheers and yells for their own competitor. I look at the field and can see Patrick running. He still needs to be put in the lead. But I believe in him. While cheering along with everyone else, Anna and I hold hands in excitement. I hear a chuckle and look at Logan.

‘It is amusing but also nice seeing you like this.’ He tells me in our mindlink.

‘Amusing?’ I ask him.

‘In a good way, a sweet and adorable way.’ He says, and I shake my head before turning to look at the field again.

Patrick is nowhere to see, and I get nervous. Until I see the runners disappear into the forest, and I realize that some of this competition must be happing there. I wait until the last wolves have fun in the forest before I turn to look at Logan.

“There are wolves in there filming, so no one can cheat.” He tells me before I can ask.

“Okay,” I say and smile at him.

We don’t wait long before someone is coming running out of the forest again, and right behind Patrick and the only girl, there comes running out. Hand in hand. I look at Logan, who has a small smile on his lips before I look back onto to field. Patrick and the girl is gaining in on the one wolf in front of them, and soon they are running past him and now share first place. The noise gets louder the closer they come to the finish.

Logan looks somewhere, and I follow his eyes and see that it is Alpha Kyle he is looking at. They both nod their heads and smile.

“The girl is from Kyle’s pack. And if I am not mistaken, she and Patrick are mates.” He explains, and we look out just in time to see the new mates cross the finish line together. I smile, happy we won and happy for Patrick to find his mate.

The crowd goes wild, and we stand up to go down to the field to congratulate them on the win and the matebond. We get there at the same time as Alpha Kyle and Luna Kate, and we greet each other before looking at the couple.

“I believe congratulations are in order,” Alpha says, and they both bow their heads.
