Alpha's Second Chance

"Can Joseph help?" Dad asks, and I shake my head before I look at my grandmother and grandfather.

"No, he can not. But I can." I say, not moving my eyes from them, and I sense they know something.

"What you mean, Muffin? Is it one of the gifts the moon goddess talked about?" Dad asks, and I shake my head.

"No, she did speak to me, but to tell me I have inherited an old secret running in mom's family," I say, still looking at my grandparents.

"I am a bit confused now. What secret?" Dad asks.

"It has been many generations. Over time, we thought it had died out forever." My grandmother says.

"What are you talking about, Nina?" Dad asks with a bit of a raised voice. Dad hates secrets like this. Says secrets like that can be dangerous. And he is right.

"Nora never knew, so she never kept this from you, Klaus." Grandma begins.

"Never knew what?" Dad asks.

"That many generations ago, my family line mostly the women, but there were a few men too, that had the ability to heal and save someone from near death." She says, and Dad is visibly shocked and can find words to speak. So Grandma continues.

"It has been centuries since we have seen a healer in our bloodline. We thought we would never see one again. They were hunted, kidnapped, and killed out of greed and fear. And we decided not to bring that into Nora's life." She says. And there is a long silence. "There was a rouge. He kept telling her to bring someone back. It confused her and me as I was listening through the matebond, trying to get to her. When she said she didn't know what he meant, he killed her. I felt her life disappear. I felt her die. All because of some secret she did not even know about." Dad says, sneering the last part out. He never moved on after losing his mom.

"We are sorry," Grandma says, and Dad growls.

"Had she known, she could have stalled him long enough for me to safe her and the Luna." He says with a small sound of his wolf's voice mixed with his. And I knew that Fang was furious and wanted out. "There is no way we can know that," Grandpa says.

"And whose fault is that." And I sense how closed-door is to lose control of Fang. So I step in front of him.

"Dad, please. You too, Fang. Look at me." And as they do, I see their eyes flickering between them.

"Go, Dad, now you need to get out of here. Mom would not want this," I say, and he slowly nods his head before walking out of the office. I turn towards Grandpa and Grandma.

"Dad never forgave himself for not

getting there to save Mom and our old Luna in time. He is more mad at himself. He never moved on, even though she wolves tried over the years. But for that, there was only one woman, and that was mom." I explain, and Grandma has tears in her eyes.

"I am sorry. Maybe we should have told her. We thought we did the right thing." She says, and bow looks at the floor in shame.

"I know, and it cannot be changed now. But I need to know everything possible. So I can help Anna, but also so I can keep myself safe." I say, and they both nod their heads.noveldrama

"We will find everything we have and give it to you." They promise. And I nod my head.

"Good, that's all I need," I say.

Grandma and Grandpa stayed for a bit, and we were told an old story she had been described as a child. Then they left. Logan put his arms around me.

"I knew you were special from the beginning. But I never imagined it was this much. I am a lucky man and wolf to be your mate. And we will always support and protect you." He says, and I smile.

"I know you will. And I promise I won't hide any of this from you. I am sorry for how Dad reacted." I promise him and smile at him.

"There is no need to be sorry. He

handled it better than I would have done in his place. I love you, my amazing second chance and the real chance for true love." He says, smiling.

"I love you too, Logan."
