Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 88



Chapter 88

CARLYLE'S POV

The tension in the air crac kled like electricity as Donald's words hung between
us, heavy with accusation and frustration. I could feel the weight of his pain
bearing down on me, his words cutting through the silence like a knife.

“I don't get what you mean, Donald. Explain,” I demanded urgently,

Donald took a deep breath, his expression weary as he began to explain the
events that had unfolded in my absence.

“I have been stuck with issues regarding the cases we have been investigating
these days,” he began, his voice strained with the weight of his responsibilities.
“I know that,” I replied, my tone firm as I reminded him of our prior discussions.
“We were going to discuss the next line of action as soon as I return from my
family outing.”

“Yes, Carl, you are right,” Donald conceded, his gaze shifting uneasily as he
continued his explanation.

“But after you left, I got a message that the head of the Canthrastras, I mean
their representative wants to meet with you,” he continued apprehensively.
“Okay, so what happened?” I pressed, my curiosity piqued by the sudden turn of
events.

“I wanted to wait for your return but the conditions stated required my immediate
presence in your absence,” Donald explained, his voice tinged with regret.
“Then, you went!” I exclaimed, my frustration bubbling to the surface as I
struggled to comprehend

his actions.

“Yes I did, after consulting the council of elders about it,” Donald admitted
defensively.

“You shouldn't have gone, Donald,” I admonished, my voice tinged with
disappointment. “What if something terrible had happened? What will you do?
How do you expect me to deal with it? You and I know that the council of elders
are not to be trusted with their decisions always. Yet...”

“That's enough, Carl. I've had enough!” Donald fired back, his voice rising with
anger as he cut me off mid-sentence. “I returned safe at least, you don’t have to
keep talking and reprimanding me like I did something very wrong. Moreover,
that's not the problem here.”

I fell silent, the weight of his words sinking in as I struggled to process the depth
of his frustration. It was clear that our communication had broken down, leaving
us both feeling misunderstood and

unheard.

Looking into Donald's eyes, I saw a reflection of my own remorse mirrored back
at me. His pain and regret were palpable, a silent plea for understanding and
forgiveness. In that moment, I realized that my own ego and desires paled in
comparison to the depth of his emotions. He deserved my empathy and support,
not my judgment and reprimand.

“I'm sorry, Don. I didn’t mean it that way,” I admitted, my voice soft with sincerity.
It was a struggle to push past my own pride and ego, but I knew that apologizing
was the first step towards rebuilding our fractured relationship. After all, Donald
wasn’t just my Beta, he was my closest friend and confidant.

His expression softened at my words, a glimmer of gratitude shining in his eyes.
“It's okay, Carl,” he replied, his voice tinged with relief. “I appreciate your
apology.”

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to set aside my own concerns and focus on
Donald's story. “So, I'm all ears. Sorry for interrupting you earlier,” I said, genuine
remorse coloring my words.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Donald continued his tale.

“Heading to the meeting point as stated in the message, the first person I set my
eyes on was her,” he began, his voice filled with awe and admiration. “She was
beautiful, Carl. Huge, fiery, and serious all at once.

I listened intently as Donald described the woman he had encountered, his words
painting a vivid picture in my mind. It was clear that she had made a profound
impression on him, sparking a mixture of awe and trepidation.

His description of the woman he had encountered was as captivating as it was
intriguing.

“She was beautiful, Carl,” his voice was filled with a sense of wonder. “Tall and
commanding, with a presence that seemed to fill the room. Her fiery red hair
cascaded down her shoulders in waves, framing a face that was both striking and
fierce.”

I listened intently as Donald described the woman's physical appearance, my
imagination conjuring up a vision of her in my mind's eye. It was clear that she
possessed a beauty that was not easily forgotten, a combination of strength and
grace that was both alluring and intimidating.

“But despite her beauty, she acted badly towards me,” Donald admitted, his tone
tinged with disappointment. “She was hostile and uncooperative, refusing to
listen to reason or engage in meaningful dialogue.”

I frowned at his words, a sense of frustration building within me. It was clear that
Donald had faced a formidable adversary, one whose actions threatened to derail
our efforts and jeopardize our goals.

“We'll figure this out, Don,” I assured him, my voice firm with determination.
“Together, we'll find a way through.” I assured.

“Did you try to talk to her?”

“Of course, I did.” He smiled gruffly. “Do you know what she said?”

I shook

my

head, staring at him.

“Don't think about it. I'm rejecting the bond! That was what she said”

“Even before you said anything to her?”

“Yes, Carl. She f ucking knew what was in my mind. She could predict my next
action. She’s smart enough to read my mind. She's a Canthrastra, guy. A f ucking
Canthrastra. She's...” His trailed off in

pain, dropping his weight on the floor just beside me.

“Did you try to talk to her?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I
struggled to comprehend the extent of the challenge before us.

“Of course, I did,” Donald replied, his smile devoid of any warmth. “But do you
know what she said?”

I shook my head, my heart sinking at the thought of what he was about to reveal.
“Don't think about it. I'm rejecting the bond!” Donald's voice was tinged with
bitterness and disbelief as he echoed the woman's words. “Even before you said
anything to her?”

“Yes, Carl. She f ucking knew what was in my mind,” Donald confirmed, his
frustration boiling over as he recounted the encounter. “She could predict my
next action. She's smart enough to read my mind. She’s a Canthrastra, guy. Af
ucking Canthrastra.”

The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of the danger we
now faced. The Canthrastras were renowned for their intelligence and cu nning,
their abilities far surpassing those of ordinary werewolves. To have one of them
be Donald's mate alone was a big issue and I began to wonder what the moon
Goddess have in store for him.

I reached out to grasp Donald's shoulder in a gesture of solidarity, offering what
little comfort I could in the face of such adversity. “We'll find a way to deal with
this, Don,” I assured him, my voice tinged with determination.
