Alpha's Second Chance by Salani

CHAPTER 14

LOGAN

The day had finally come to an end after again being on the phone most of the day. I knew Olivia had taken Rose out to visit her grandparents, and she had mindlinked when they were back.

When she told me she was getting a very tired Rose to bed, I let her know to meet me at my personal gym. After wrapping up one last call, I went up to my room to change into a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt before I walked into my gym.

I froze when I entered. I knew she would be there, but. One I had not expected her to bring dressed in only a tiny pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt. Two, when I entered, she was deeply concentrated on working out the punching bag. I couldn't help but stop and admire how easily she went from on a series of hits to put in a kick here and there, both knee and feet. And it did not slip my attention how her body moved as she was moving.

Fuck, I muttered to myself when I realized she had air pods in her ears, so she could not hear me. Then she made a move that made her turn around, and she saw me standing here looking at her. She stopped and took out her air pods, and I smiled, trying to push every other thought away right now.

“You have some very fluent moves when you fight. It is impressive,” I tell her, making her blush a little.

“Thank you. I had a good trainer.” She answers, and I smile. She is right, though. Her dad was phenomenal, and he had actually made me sweat a little at our friendly fight yesterday.

“I agree your father is amazing, but you would have to have some talent to be so advanced or really dedicated,” I tell her.

"He wanted me to be able to protect myself. Unlike my mom, who was more of a party planner than a fighter. She hated to fight.” She tells me, and I nod my head.

“Well, no matter who or how it is easy to see you are a great fighter. I don't think I can teach you a lot of new stuff. But I will be more than happy to improve whatever you feel needs improvement.” I tell her and smile.

“Thank you. Given my situation and the reason we moved here, I want to have a better chance of keeping myself safe.” She says seriously.
