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.

“You don’t lie to me, Donnie.” I warned with an authoritative demeanor.

“They were sent to kill me by Alpha Raina.” She answered to my utmost surprise.

“Do you mean Raina? Rex’s sister?” I was beginning to get angry. Just because I refused the marriage doesn’t mean they should act anyhow toward me–my person, my woman, my mate. How dare she?

“Yes, the assassins confessed to it before you had them killed.” She paused, taking a moment to look at me as if scared that I might punish her.

“Thinking of it, you caused all this for me.” She said with a bit of fear, keeping mute immediately I turned my gaze toward her.

“Feel free. You can talk. I won’t bite.” My tone softened, realizing the fear in her eyes. I wanted her to understand that, despite the circumstances, she could trust me. I’m the one on edge here and I was a bit scared that she’ll continue to run from me.

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.
