Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 17

CARLYLE’S POV

Not having a choice, I waited behind for whatever Rex had in store. Rex instructed someone to inform his sister about my presence. Before her arrival, I thought of what I could do to avoid any uncomfortable situation.

“She’s on her way. I’m sorry to take your time.” Alpha Rex said, grinning from ear to ear. I flashed him a forced smile.

“How about you direct me to a popular restaurant around here? Then, she comes over to meet me there for the discussion.” I suggested it after a deep thought. When I get there, I can finally have a proper discussion with Rex’s sister about my choices and perhaps we could come to a conclusion that’s going to be favourable to us both under the necessity of the packs‘ alliance but without Rex intruding in our discussion because. I know he has an aim by telling me to marry his sister.

“Of course, I’ve got a list of restaurants around. You can make your choice and a guard will lead you there,” Rex replied, signaling to someone nearby to hand me what I requested.

I collected the catalog that was handed to me, going through the list of restaurants that was written there. After a while, I finally chose one.

“Feel free, Alpha Carlyle. A guard will lead you there.”

“Thanks so much, Alpha Rex. But you don’t have to, I can find my way.”

“It’s your choice.”

Stepping into the streets of Rex’s pack and with my heightened werewolf senses attuned to the subtle sounds and scents around me, I began searching for the restaurant.

Approaching a passerby, I inquired, “Excuse me, could you direct me to The Crescent Bistro? I seem to have lost my way.” The stranger was a bit taken aback by my question and he hesitated before providing clear instructions.

As I walked, my werewolf senses kicked in, allowing me to catch faint traces of familiar scents carried by the breeze. I took a moment to close my eyes, focusing on the olfactory landscape of the city. The distinctive aroma of The Crescent Bistro’s signature dishes guided me in the right direction.

Turning a corner, I found myself in an intersection with people. A vibrant conversation between two pedestrians caught my attention. I approached with a friendly demeanour,

“Excuse me, I’m looking for The Crescent Bistro. Can you help me find it?” Their
