A Second Chance With My Tribrid Alpha King

AUDREY’S POV

I was still looking over the room, when a knock came on the door, and I went to get it. I was suprised to see Sebastian standing there.

“Babe.” He grinned at me, before making his way in and closing the door behind him. He wasted no time in pulling me for a deep kiss, making me giggle in his mouth. “I missed you.”

“It is just a few days since we last saw each other.” I chuckled, not wanting to admit that I missed him as well.

“Still, I couldn’t help it. Obviously, you have a hold on me now.” He grinned, bending and kissing my neck. “I just want to tear off your clothes and drive into you with such reckless abandon….” He said, his hands roaming over my body.

“Seb…” I sighed, pushing him away gently. “I just embarked on a tedious journey. I’m tired.”

“Too tired for this?” He asked, trying to undo the first button of my shirt. Was he being serious right now?!

“Sebastian, I said I’m tired.” I repeated, hoping he would get the message I was trying to pass.

“Just a quickie.” He mumbled, sniffing my neck. I felt my face fall in disappoint as I realized he wasn’t even listening to what I said. He didn’t even care! “Just a quickie, okay?” He muttered, before pushing my back to the door and kissing me so roughly. Almost immediately, another knock came on the door, making him release me immediately.

“Who is there?” I called out.

“My lady, it’s Alara. The guards are here with your suitcases. Can we come in?”

“Yeah, sure.” I said without thinking about it. The moment the door opened and they saw Sebastian, they all bowed in respect.

“Your highness!” They chorused. Sebastian simply replied with low grunt, before walking out of the room. In that moment, I couldn’t be more thankful he left. Alara and two other guards brought in my suitcases. After they left, I stripped off my clothes and walked into the bathroom, making sure to properly lock the door. I didn’t want Sebastian showing up without warning. Stepping into the bathtub, I sat and dipped my entire body into the warm water, sighing in relief the water gave my muscles after such a tiring journey.

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe you Audrey! What the hell is keeping you?!” Mom yelled at me through our mindlink, making me roll my eyes. I was taking my time to look the part of a future queen, clearly!

“I would be down in a moment.” I managed, before blocking off my mindlink.

It was time for the ball already, and I could hear the sounds, cheers, and music coming from the palace hall. I felt hot blood rush through my veins, making me feel really ecstatic.

I had slept after having my bath, and was woken quite late by Alara, who had been clearly sent by the Luna Queen to help me dress up for the event.

I couldn’t stop admiring the beautiful dress that the queen had gifted me. It was a long ball gown, with a lot of pretty stones on it.

“We are done my lady. You look a dream.” Alara grinned and for the first time, she didn’t seem so annoying.

“Thank you Alara. Could we get going now?”

“Of course, my lady.” At her response, I stood up from my seat and walked towards the door. She pulled it open for me, and we walked out together. The moment we got out of the room, I was suprised to see the entire hallway filled with guards in a straight line. “Every annual ball, the king triples the security around the palace. This is the only day in the year, when all important and high ranking wolves in the kingdom are all together.”

“Hmmm.” I nodded in understanding. If anything happened wrongly tonight, the kingdom was gonna be greatly affected. There was also not a better time to provoke the spirit of rebellion against prince Logan, if not on a night such as this. I thought of Sebastian, and couldn’t help the frown on my face. I was still displeased about what happened between us earlier in the day. I truly…..

“Finally!” I suddenly heard Sebastian’s voice through my mindlink. “I have tried to communicate with you the entire time, but you keep shutting me out! Well, thankfully I am able to get a hold of you. It either means that you finally let me through, or you were thinking about meeeee….” He sounded quite cocky, only provoking me the more.

“It seems to me that you want to be shut out again.” I threatened.

“Fine! I’m sorry. About everything. I shouldn’t have tried to have my way with you, even when you were clearly tired and not in the mood.” So he knew?!

“Okay.”

“Where are you please? I have been looking all over the place for you. The ball is in a full swing already.”

“I would be down in a minute.” I muttered, before shutting him out. I looked at Alara to see her giving me a weird stare. She was probably confused as to the reason why I was suddenly scowling.

Did it even make sense that I was about to go get introduced to the kingdom as Sebastian’s mate, yet I was mad at him? Suddenly realizing that I wanted tonight to turn out the best way possible, I heaved a sigh and tried to let go off my anger towards him. Slowly, it dissipated. The next minute, I was trying to reconnect with him through our mindlink.

“Heyyyy.” I said.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Audrey, I really meant it when I said I was sorry.” He rushed out.

“I know. Let’s not fight tonight. It’s going to be the start of a great life for us. I would see you in a bit.”

“Now, this feels better.” I knew he was smiling at that moment, which made me smile as well.

I decided to leave our mindlink open, so I could easily locate him when I get to the hall. Soon, Alara and I approached the entrance of what looked to be the great hall, and the music sounds from inside was booming. We finally got to the entrance, to see quite the number of guards stationed there.

“Here we are, my lady.” Alara smiled at me and I nodded.

“After you.” I muttered. She stepped into the hall, and I followed behind. The first thing I usually do in situations as this, was to look around and appreciate the decorations and beauty of the place. And that was exactly what I did. We further walked into the hall and just like I wanted, all eyes fell on me.

“Typical of my mate to make heads turn.” Sebastian communicated through our mindlink, making me smile. This simply meant he could see me, so I looked around to find him as well. I had been all smiles as I kept walking in through the crowd of dancing and talking people, until a very strong and beautiful scent invaded my nostrils. Instantly, my smile dropped. I didn’t need anyone to tell me what was happening at the moment, I have heard enough tales about it, to know when a wolf found their fated mate. At that point in time, the only thing I could think of was how fucked up I was going to be, if Iet whomever this was, see me! My brain went shut for a moment, confusion overwhelming me. Oh, goddess! No no no.

“Babe, are you fine?” I heard Sebastian’s worried voice through the mindlink, but couldn’t make out any words in response. My intial reaction to that scent had been the ‘flight’ instinct, but now, I couldn’t even move my legs from the spot I was. The scent became stronger, making me feel deluged. ‘Run! Audrey, run!’ My mind screamed at me.

“My lady?” Alara’s worried voice filtered through my senses, making hot sweat break out on my forehead.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” My mindlink got invaded by my mom.

“Audrey?” That was my father’s voice.

“Babe!” Sebastian’s voice came on again. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that I was shaking. My fear increased the more the scent became stronger, because I knew whomever my mate was, he had covered a lot of distance between us. He was very close to me already.

“My lady.” Alara whispered to my hearing once more, and I finally got myself to speak.

“Alara, please get me out of here.”

“O.. kayyy.” She replied, quite confused as to why I’d ask that of her. She took my hand in hers and just as we turned towards the direction leading out of hall, I came face to face with a familiar man. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach, and I let out a low gasp. I didn’t need anyone to tell me he was the man in question. But then, why was he oddly familiar?

I also noticed the entire hall had weirdly gone quiet, which simply meant that everyone was a witness to what was about taking place.

“Audrey….” Sebastian’s voice came through our mindlink, though it sounded really feint.

“Sebastian.” I responded through the mindlink, as I locked eyes with the other man in front of me. It took me a few seconds, but when I finally realized who the man standing before me was, I felt my heart breaking into a thousand pieces. No no no!! I didn’t deserve a fate such as this!! I was doomed for life, because the person standing before me….. was none other than the man I had seen in the royal family portrait earlier today. He was….. prince Logan. The unwanted crown prince. The same prince I was planning to oust. The weak and wolfless prince. I was mated to him????!!!

I felt painful tears sting my eyes as he said the words which I so much dreaded to hear.

“Mate.”

I was really doomed for life.
