Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 34

SIDONNIE’S POV

His voice, deep and commanding, sliced through the air, breaking the comfortable. silence that had enveloped us.

“I am commanding you, Sidonnic Xander, a member of the Moon Shade Pack to stop there this instant,” he said, and at that very moment, annoyance clawed at the edges of my composure. I shifted uncomfortably, my eyes briefly meeting his, and a silent exchange conveyed my reluctance. On a normal day, I wouldn’t have answered him but the moment he used the command as an Alpha, I was left with no choice.

In Moon Shade, anyone who disobeys an Alpha’s command could possibly have their family punished in their stead or with them and I didn’t want that for my parents. I have caused them enough trouble by leaving them three years ago even after knowing that I’m the only child they had.

The atmosphere felt charged with an unspoken tension as I hesitated, contemplating whether to grant him the chance for dialogue when he began to question me. His presence alone had been an unsettling force, and the prospect of engaging in a conversation with him heightened my discomfort.

However, I couldn’t escape the dreadful butterflies that fluttered in the pit of my stomach, their erratic movements mirroring the turmoil within, kudos to the mate bond between us. The mere thought of delving into a discussion with Alpha Carlyle set my nerves on edge. What was he about to ask? I could tell. What hidden complexities lay beneath the surface of his composed demeanor?

As I reluctantly agreed to his conversation but answering his questions, my mind raced, anticipating the twists and turns that this conversation might take.

Each step closer to the impending dialogue felt like walking on a tightrope for some reasons, with the potential for a precarious fall.

We discussed at length and he apologized, stating his want for us to mate and for me to be his Luna. I thought of it for a while and requested for more time after deciding to agree to his request for the sake of Mason. I couldn’t just get back to him like that without restraint.

Chapter 31

The journey to the land of Aridah was a bit stressful as my legs began to ache not long into the journey especially when we wanted to climb the Mountain of Canth. But I was ready to give it all it takes to follow him, not after persuading him incessantly before he agreed for me to lag along.

On the way, I discovered myself bonding with him as we talked, with me opening up to him. He was fun to be with as a normal person and I kind of liked his company.
