Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 31

CARLYLE’S POV

As ordered, Sidonnie stood in front of me, bowing her head respectfully. Then, I directed her to take her seat once again, and she did.

“Who were those men?” I asked out of curiosity and concern.

“I don’t know,” she lied, and I could sense it immediately.

She took a deep breath before continuing, “I knew Raina wouldn’t take your disagreement lightly, you should have known better how desperate she was for her to tell Alpha Rex. Those men were her way of getting back at you, at us.” She expressed herself without restraint.

I chuckled at her pronunciation of the word, ‘us‘ and Laryl was very happy. I knew the word meant nothing special to her, but it meant a lot to I and Laryl.

“What made you think she’ll attack you?”

“It’s so easy, Alpha Carlyle. The moment she could connect us together because of your actions, I became her target right away.
