Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 54

CARLYLE’S POV

“Wait! Did you just mention that Moon Shade suffered an attack?” I asked Athena when she persuaded Sidonnie to return to my pack with me. Then, I took off my mind on Donnie’s response as we both stared at each other. It felt like we could read each other’s minds.

Athena affirmed what I heard and I was prompted to ask her how she got to know since I didn’t mention the attack to outsiders. I made sure the news died down with the attack for security

“Would you do like I said, Donnie? I’m not forcing you, though. Think it through.”

Donnie went silent for a very long time, her gaze lowered in thought. Three pairs of eyes gazed at her, awaiting her response. The moment she raised her head up, we were all expectant of what she would say. A great part of me wanted her to say ‘yes‘ so bad.
