Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 67

DONNIE’S POV

As | walked away from Carlyle’s, leaving him sitting there alone, the weight of his actions settled heavily on my

shoulders. Hurt and confusion swirled within me, and the realization that he had chosen Raina to be with him

during his sickness stung like a thousand needles.

“I thought we were finally finding our way back to each other,” | whispered to myself, the ache in my chest

growing. The idea of bonding with him as his mate had filledwith hope, but now it seemed like a distant

dream shattered by his actions.

The bond we once shared felt fragile, hanging by a thread, and | couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal. As |

turned to leave, | knew that mending the pieces of my broken heart would take tand understanding. Though,

a part ofwas willing to pay attention to him but | couldn’t bear to. Not yet.

Mason who had been playing all alone walked up to me, gently patting the dorsum of my hand in a bid to attract

my attention.

“Mama, what's wrong? You're crying!” He reached out to cup my cheeks with his little hands as het climbed into

my laps.

Blinking back tears, | crouched down to Mason's eye level, his innocent gaze searching mine.

“Oh, sweetheart, sometimes grown-ups feel sad, just like you might feel sad sometimes. But it's okay, really.

Mama will be fine,” | reassured him with a tender smile, attempting to mask the pain in

my eyes.

Mason nodded earnestly, his small hand reaching for mine. “Mama, you're strong. Stronger than anyone. And |

“Dad is at the door, Mama. He wants to talk to you,” Mason conveyed innocently, his eyes filled with curiosity.

thoughts and the imminent conversation with Carlyle weighing heavily on my mind.

Soon, Mason returned and gavea bunch of flowers which held a note which said, “Let's talk. There's no need

my presence.

“You have a message.” She handedan envelope which I collected.

“Who brought this?” | asked, inspecting the envelope for clues of the sender.

that folded piece of paper.

Upon unfolding the note, the scripted words hinted at Carlyle’s desire to talk and reconcile.

“Meet at the Serene Wert under the moon light.” It read, accompanied with the Alpha seal of Moon Shade.

Definitely, it was from Carlyle since no one had the authority to touch his seal without going through him first.

The weight of the seal was just like the size of president in the human

world.

Carlyle suggested meeting at the Enchanted Courtyard, a place shrouded in the rumours of ancient love stories.

Its serene atmosphere held the essence of a lovers’ sanctuary, a spot laden with history that heightened the

intensity of emotions.

clutching Carlyle’s hand-drawn map, which seemed to shimmer under the soft moonlight. The air carried an

uncanny stillness as | approached the rumored lovers’ rendezvous and a solitary owl hooted from a distant tree,

heightening the sense of mystique.

Upon reaching the Enchanted Courtyard, the moon cast a gentle glow over the meticulously manicured garden.

magnolia tree, | settled in, waiting for Carlyle’s presence.

Minutes stretched into an agonizing passage of time. The garden suddenly seemed to hold its breath as there

was still no sign of life except for my presence. The distant rustle of leaves heightened the suspense. An eerie

quiet prevailed, punctuated only by the soft murmur of a nearby fountain.

As the clock ticked towards an hour, my nerves becentangled with a growing unease. The moon, a silent

witness to my impatience, cast its silvery glow over the garden. Suddenly, a peculiar mist began to weave

through the air, rising from the ground like ethereal tendrils. It moved with a purpose, swaying and curling in a
