CARLYLE'S POV
As I sat alone in my chambers, the elder’s words echoed in my mind
continuously like a haunting refrain.
“If only his father was alive, he would have paid heed to me.”_
The words cut deep, stirring up a tumult of conflicting emotions within me. My
father who was a legendary Alpha and had guided our pack with wisdom and
strength, was no longer here to offer
his counsel and guidance. In his absence, the burden of leadership fell squarely
on my shoulders, a responsibility I sometimes felt ill-equipped to bear.
But as I pondered the elder’s words, my thoughts were pulled away by the
memory of Donald's anguish. His pain and frustration which were etched into
every line of his face. To me, heading to the place of meet in the first place
served as a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked just beyond our borders.
And then there was the pack itself, teetering on the brink of uncertainty and
unrest. The council of elders, once a source of stability and guidance, now
seemed divided and indecisive, their authority called into question by recent
events. The very fabric of my pack which was once strong and unyielding, now
felt frayed and fragile, threatened by external forces and internal strife.
As Alpha, it was my duty to lead our pack through these troubled times, to find a
path forward in the face of adversity. But the weight of that responsibility felt
heavier than ever before, a burden that seemed impossible to bear alone.
How the hell am I going to survive all these? Day by day, the issues of the pack
should have been resolved as we move ahead, instead it’s just depreciating.
But even in the midst of darkness, a glimmer of hope flickered within me.
Consumed by the weight of our pack’s troubles, I heard a voice calling my name
and it jolted me back to reality. Turning around, I was met with the sight of
Sidonnie, my beloved. Her presence immediately brought a warmth to my heart
as a sense of calm amidst the storm that raged within
me.
“Sidonnie,” I greeted her, my voice soft with affection as she approached.
“What's wrong? You're looking gloomy. Did something happen?” She stood right
in front of me as she questioned.
“Nothing's wrong, Donnie,” I assured her, offering her a reassuring smile as I
pulled her close, guiding her to sit on my laps.
But even as I held her in my arms, a part of me couldn't shake the weight of the
burdens that weighed heavily upon my shoulders.
“You can't tell me nothing is wrong with you. Your heartbeat says it all. You're
worried about something and it's making you breath after than normal. She
placed her right hand on my chest.

“Sidonnie,” I began, my voice tinged with uncertainty as I searched for the right
words to convey the depth of my concerns.

“Speak to me. We mo longer have to hide things from each other
Moreover, as the soon to be Luna of this pack, I should be carried along about
pack matters too.” She insisted on whispers while staring just right at my
eyeballs.
Da mn! She knows the way to have me lose my guard.
“There's... there’s something we need to talk about.”
Her brow furrowed in concern, her gaze searching mine for answers. “What is it,
Carl? I'm all ears.”
Taking a deep breath, I began to recount the events that had transpired in my
absence, the encounter with the Canthrastra representative which Donald talked
about and how she turned out to be his mate, and the turmoil that now
threatened to tear our pack apart which I really couldn't figure it out yet.
With each word, I could see the concern growing in her eyes as her hands
tightened around mine as if seeking reassurance.
But even as I spoke, a part of me couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt for
burdening her with my troubles. Sidonnie was my rock, my anchor in the storm,
and yet here I was, laying my fears and uncertainties at her feet. But it felt like
the right thing to do. It lifted a bit of overwhelming from my heart.
“What? You don’t mean it.” She gasped when I told he about Donald’s mate.
“That's exactly what I was told, Donnie. You need to see the look on his face
when we discussed. He was really pained.”
“I understand him. It hurts to see your mate neglect the fated bond having
recognized it. It's painful. I've been through the same.” She said.
“I'm sorry, Donnie. You don’t need to bring the past up anymore. The memories
aren't too good.” I replied, squeezing her fingers lightly.
She chortled a little, pinching my cheek.
“I didn’t mean to remind you of that, I was only relating to Donald's predicament.
But it's fine, I won't do that next time if you don't like it.”
“Not really. But the way you said it sounded a bit intentional, like a thorn you
deliberately want to pr ick me with.”
“Oh, no! What were you thinking, Carl?”
“I'm thinking about you!” I kissed her nose bridge as she giggled.
“Silly you,” she but my ear playfully,
“I know right. That reminds me, I tabled out marriage topic to the elders today.”

Donnie’s face changed the moment I mentioned that but I reassured her gently
with little hand pats.
“It's fine. They're looking into it. We're surely going to get a good result from
them. Trust me.”
“If you say so.” She heaved a sigh.

“I know so, Donnie. You have to be confident when it comes to things you want.” I
admonished and she nodded in response.
“That aside, you mentioned that Donald found his mate because of a message,
right?”
“Yes, I did. Is anything wrong?”
“Did they talk about anything else, probably the reason for the meetup?”
“I didn’t ask Donald about that, but I don’t think they did. Else, Donald would have
mentioned it.”
“Don't you think it's all planned?”
“Elaborate please?” I paid more attention to her words.
“Think about it, Donald went there, saw his mate and they left without saying
anything.”
“By that you said, you mean they already knew beforehand that Donald was that
lady’s mate.”
“Exactly what I think. I see no reason why they would call for that sudden
meeting without purpose. It's suspicious.”
“So, if they want Donald to see his mate, that's mean...”
...they have a plan to be carried out.” She completed, as I reasoned out her
points.
