Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 91



Chapter 91
AMELIA'S POV
Walking briskly back to my apartment, the events of the meeting with the queen
mother played over and over again in my mind like a broken record. The anger
bubbled up within me, threatening to consume me whole as I thought about
Varef's attempts to undermine me and manipulate the situation to his advantage.
But amidst the anger, a glimmer of satisfaction began to take root within me as I
remembered the outcome of Varef's scheming. Despite his best efforts to
convince the queen mother to turn against me on the spot, she had seen through
his lies and shunned him, reaffirming her support for me and my position within
the pack.
A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I recalled the look of disbelief on
Varef's face as the queen mother dismissed his claims with a wave of her hand. It
was a small victory, to be sure, but one that filled me with a sense of triumph
nonetheless.
For too long, I had allowed Varef's manipulations and power plays to dictate my
actions and control my fate. But no more. I had proven myself to the queen
mother and earned her trust, and I would not allow Varef or anyone else to
undermine that.
As I reached my apartment and let myself in, a sense of contentment washed
over me like a warm embrace. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, I knew that
I shall push through in one way or the other.
“You're back, Amy.” Kyla, my maid uttered as she stood up from the stool she
was sitting upon before my arrival. Despite being my maid, she has been closer
to me like a sister. There's virtually nothing about me she doesn’t know.
“Yes, I am,” I replied, my voice weary as I shrugged off the weight of the day’s
events. My muscles ached from tension and my mind buzzed with thoughts that
refused to quiet.
I glanced over at Kyla, grateful for her presence and the comfort of her familiarity.
“Kyla, could
you prepare a hot bath for me?” I asked, my tone soft but urgent. I really needed
to soothe my frayed nerves.
As Kyla bustled about, filling the wooden tub with steaming water and gathering
fragrant

flowers, I began to undress, shedding the layers of armor that had protected me
throughout the day..
As I sank into the soothing embrace of the bath, the warmth enveloping me like a
cocoon, I allowed myself to relax for the first time in what felt like ages. But even
as I closed my eyes and let the tension melt away, my mind remained stubbornly
fixated on the events of the day.
Lost in thought, I barely noticed as Kyla approached, concern etched into every
line of her
face.
“Is something wrong, Amy?” she asked, her voice gentle but insistent while she
began to massage my body while I was still in the water.
I shook my head, forcing a smile onto my lips. “No, Kyla, I'm fine,” I replied, my
words ringing hollow even to my own ears. But Kyla knew me too well to be
fooled by such feeble attempts at deception.
She studied me for a moment, her gaze piercing and knowing.
“You don’t have to pretend with me, Amy,” she said softly, her voice filled with
understanding. “I know when something's bothering you.”
And in that moment, I had no choice but to open up to her.
“You caught me right there, but it's fine. I'll be okay after the bath.”
“If you say so.” She sighed. “Did Varef bother you again today?” She asked,
changing the topic. This girl, she just knows how to reach me.
“He tried but I didn’t let him get to me. Kudos to the queen mother’s assistance.” I
replied honestly. The bond between I and Kyla was so special for me to lie to her.
“I wonder when he'll get it in his head that you both can’t work.” She proceeded
to masage

As Kyla began to massage my shoulder, her touch gentle and soothing, I couldn't
help but let out a contented sigh. The tension in my muscles melted away under
her skilled hands, the warmth of the water enveloping me like a comforting
embrace.

“You know, I saw my mate earlier today.”
But as I mentioned seeing my mate earlier that day, the atmosphere shifted, a
tense silence settling between us like a heavy fog. I watched as Kyla’s eyes
widened in shock, her hand freezing mid-massage as she processed my words.
oun
... you saw your mate?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she
struggled to comprehend the magnitude of what I had just revealed. “Are you...
are you serious? You're not joking, right?”
I shook my head, my gaze fixed on the swirling patterns of the water as I
recounted the encounter in my mind.
“No, Kyla, I'm not joking,” I replied, my voice tinged with a mixture of uncertainty
and excitement. “I saw him earlier today, while I was out on patrol.”
Kyla let out a gasp of disbelief, her hand slipping on the edge of the tub as she
recoiled in shock, wincing in pain as her knuckles collided with the hard wooden
surface.
“Ow!” she exclaimed, rubbing her hand gingerly as she regained her composure.
“Sorry, I... I just wasn’t expecting that.”
I reached out to grasp her hand in mine, offering her a reassuring squeeze. “It's
okay, Kyla,” I said softly, a smile playing at the corners of my lips. “I know it's a lot
to take in.”
She nodded, her eyes still wide with awe as she leaned in closer, eager to hear
every detail of my encounter with my mate. “Tell me everything,” she urged, her
voice filled with excitement. “What did he look like? How did it happen?”
“It was on the mission I went for earlier. The order was to meet the Beta of Moon
Shadow and do as instructed.”
“So, you didn’t know he was your mate before going?”
“No, I didn’t. But I had a notion about it given the actions I was to perform.”
“Hmmn, how did he look like?”
As I began to describe my mate to Kyla, the memories of our encounter flooded
back to me
with startling clarity, each detail etched into my mind like a vivid dream.

I paused, allowing the image of him to linger in the air between us, the memory of
his gaz burning bright in my mind's eye. “And his smile,” I continued, a wistful
smile playing at the corners of my lips. “It was beautiful.”
“That's like a knight in shining armor. Those ones in fairy tales.” Kyla joked and I
chuckled.
But it wasn't just his appearance that had captivated me; it was the way he had
made me feel from the moment our eyes met.
“When I saw him, it was like everything else faded away,” I confessed, my voice
filled with wonder. “It was as if the world stood still, and there was only him and I,
drawn together by some unseen force that defied explanation.”
I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks as I recounted the rush of emotions that
had washed over me in that moment, the overwhelming desire to be near him, to
touch him, to lose myself in the depths of his gaze.
“And when he spoke,” I added, my voice barely above a whisper as I relived the
memory, “it was like music to my ears, each word a symphony of sound that
stirred something deep within me.”

“What do you mean?” Kyla was confused.
“You'll understand as time goes on.” I forced a smile. Though, I tell Kyla about
everything, I can't tell her about my missions. It's against the rules and telling her
would be dangerous.
