Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 39

SIDONNIE’S POV

Exhaustion clung to every inch of my being as I stumbled through the doorway, the first rays of dawn kissing the horizon. The night had been an unrelenting venture into the unknown, a mission that demanded more than just physical strength. Athena, my godmother, greeted me with a knowing look as she worked diligently outside, grinding herbs in a weathered mortar.

“This is what you sent me.” I handed the small basket to her which she collected from me, all smiles.

“Oh my! Such beautiful Dasiers,” she commented. “How did you get hurt?” She asked.

“We had an encounter along the trip.”

“Oh no! Such a scary combination.” Her expression shifted, concern etching lines on her forehead. The revelation of the encounter triggered a chain of worry, and I braced myself for the impending questions that would unravel the intricacies of the mission.
