Alpha's Second Chance by Salani

Chapter 0173 OLIVIA

It is getting late and slowly beginning to get dark, after a nice day with Dad and Matt. The moon goddess had said three days, so it could be at midnight or first tomorrow night. No matter what, I did not want to miss out on any time with Dad, and he wanted to stay here, close to Mom. He said he had a feeling that he could not explain, so yeah, we were staying here, waiting.

"I remember when Liv was little, and you had to go to training or something. She always tried to go with you." Matt says, and Dad laughs.

"Oh yes, and a few times she succeeded. And I would first see her when I got to the training field." Dad laughs, and Matt and I laugh, too.

"I wanted to be like my Dad, a big brave warrior," I say and smile.

"And you did become that and so much more," Dad says, making me smile.

"I guess I did. I remember being so scared to find my mate. Afraid that I would have to change who I was. But I was wrong. I didn't have to change. I just became more and who I was supposed to be." I say, and Dad smiles.

"And I am so incredibly proud of you, of both of you. As a parent, I cannot wish for more." Dad says. We are sitting quietly, watching the sun disappear behind the forest. The moon rising and I had not realized that it would be a full moon tonight. And it wasn't just a full moon, but the moon looked so bright and beautiful with a hint of gold and silver. I forgot all about midnight and was just at this moment enjoying the beautiful view.

A bright light of silver suddenly appeared, and without thinking too much about it, I knew it was the moon goddess, but she was not alone. An almost see-through form of another woman was next to her, and I am lost for words.

"Mom," I whisper at the same time as Matt.
