Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 23

SIDONNIE’S POV

Confusion etched across my face as the guards dragged me away from my workplace. Panic set in my mind since I had no idea of what awaited me.

My mind raced to decipher the cryptic connection between the actions of the guards towards me and the recent encounter with Raina, the uncultured sister of the Alpha

Rex.

Questions swirled within me, yet the guards remained silent sentinels of authority. It was not the restraints that bound me, but the fear of the unknown that tightened its grip around my mind. The Alpha’s abode loomed ahead, a fortress of secrets where the answers to my unwitting transgressions awaited clarification.

Upon getting to Alpha Rex’s chamber, my eyes, still clouded with confusion, met the gaze of my mate–the harbinger of past nightmares and the tangled web that ensnared me with Raina. A shiver traced my spine, and I averted my gaze, unwilling to confront the haunting memories that clung to him.

The guards, unyielding in their grasp, dropped me a few feet from the Alpha, whose imposing presence commanded attention. As I lowered my gaze, a veil of fear filled me, acutely aware that my destiny now rested at the mercy of the Alpha’s judgment.

On my knees, a mere pawn in this unfolding drama, I listened as the Alpha’s voice cut through the tense air.

“Is this the lady you’re rejecting my sister for?” Alpha Rex asked Alpha Carlyle and I began to wonder what was transpiring between the two Alphas. Right from time, everyone knew they never agreed with each other easily; something was always at

stake.

What was to be staked at that moment, I had no idea. Alpha Rex’s words hung like a heavy fog, and my mate’s response lingered on the precipice of revelation.

Raina whispered something to Alpha Carlyle incessantly, leaving me more confused about what was happening and why I was there in the first place since my whole existence was being ignored by them three except for moments when Alpha Carlyle took stylish glances at me.
