Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 57

DONNIE’S POV

Returning to Moon Shade after more than three years was nerve racking. I was nervous and at the same time, I was scared. Carlyle tried his best to make me feel at ease, but it just wasn’t working.

I was only able to take my mind off it for a while when Mason began his rants and cheerfulness, seeing the beautiful scenery as we moved past them.

Mason, wide–eyed and curious, looked up at Alpha Carlyle during the car ride, breaking the silence with his innocent curiosity,

“Mama, is he a werewolf?” Mason whispered to me, loud enough for everyone in the car to hear.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the straightforwardness of Mason’s question. I have always known about how curious he is about who exactly Carlyle is asides being his father. Mason knew about his personal identity and I guess he was curious if Carlyle was just like him too.

Alpha Carlyle leaned down to Mason’s level, with a twinkle in his eyes.

“Yes, little man, I am. And you know what? Your mama here is quite special too,” he replied, playfully nudging me.

Mason’s eyes widened in awe. “Really? Is Mama a superhero?”

Alpha Carlyle and I exchanged amused glances.

“Well, not exactly a superhero, but she’s definitely someone extraordinary. The fact that she’s your mama says it all.” He explained.

Mason pondered this for a moment before turning to me with a grin.
