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.

Her gaze held mine, determination flickering in her eyes. “If a war breaks out, will you be able to cater for the large number of werewolves and supernatural beings with depreciating energy?” Her question hung in the air, a profound challenge that left me momentarily silent.

“It’s nothing. Everyone being safe is all I wish for.” She uttered.

“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.

“It was Athena who requested the White Dasier, but I don’t think she’s the one behind the whole thing, Donnic responded, her gaze fixed on the path ahead.

to doubt her, I might find it hard to trust her again. Moreover, I don’t see a reason why I should doubt her. She knows about the medicine so well. People from other packs sometimes come over to collect drugs from her, and it works well. In fact, she has been teaching me the art of healing over the years,” Donnie explained, her loyalty to Athena evident

not saying you should doubt her, Donnie. All I was saying is perhaps try to ask her. She could have a clue to what happened about the weapon forming out of the White Dasier.” I paused. “Think about it. Have she ever sent you for herb
