Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 36

CARLYLE’S POV

“I’m not saying we would not return, Donnie. But let’s make sure you get better first. I can’t afford taking you on the long journey in this situation.”

“Time is what matters, Alpha Carlyle. I’m okay,” Donnic insisted, her voice steadier than I expected.

“No, you’re not, Donnie. You’re weak already, with depreciating energy,” I countered, my concern etched across my face as I examined the wound inflicted by the once benign White Dasier.

“Alright dear, if you insist. I will surely grant your wish.”

Carrying her up on her feet, I made sure she had the ability to work while leaning on me. Our journey back is going to be tough and slow but I was ready for the task. She has sacrificed so much for me just right after we settled our differences.

“How did that weapon form?” Donnie inquired, our pace deliberate and measured as we retraced our steps.

“It was the White Dasier, and I’m finding it suspicious. Who did you say sent you here?” I questioned, my thoughts wrestling with the unfolding mystery.

In fact, she has been teaching me the art of healing over the years,” Donnie explained, her loyalty to Athena evident in her
