Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 64

DONNIE’S POV

Three days after pleading with Donald severally, he later allowed me to see Carlyle.

As I entered Carlyle’s inner chambers, the dim light revealed the toll the poison had taken on him.. His strong, dominant and commanding presence was overshadowed by the frailty that now clung to him.

The lines on his face told a story of pain and exhaustion which was a stark contrast to the vibrant. Alpha I knew so well. His gaze met mine as his eyes held a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability. unveiling the depth of his struggle against the poison’s grasp. It was a poignant moment, one that made me realize the depth of the situation.

“Sidonnie,” he muttered lowly as Donald assisted him to sit.

The inner chambers was concentrated with the scent of medical herbs. Carlyle’s eyes, normally sharp and focused, softened with a warmth that transcended the Alpha facade.

“Donnie,” he greeted, his voice carrying both gratitude and fatigue.

“How are you feeling, Carlyle?” I asked, genuine concern etched in my voice and expression.

He sighed, his shoulders bearing the weight of recent events. “I’m better now, thanks to the healers. But there’s much to be done, and my absence has been felt.”

“How did you become like this?”

“I got infected with the poison the Sertid Fur Alpha was killed with.”

Our conversation navigated through the intricacies of pack matters, touching upon the concerns of the elders who questioned his leadership in his weakened state. Carlyle’s frustration was palpable, and I offered reassurance that I would address the pack on his behalf, assuring them that he hadn’t abandoned his responsibilities.

“It’s been a challenge, Donnie,” he admitted, his eyes meeting mine with a vulnerability that felt unfamiliar. “Handling pack affairs while battling this poison has been more taxing than I anticipated.”

I nodded understandingly, feeling a shift in the dynamics of our interaction. The boundaries softened, and for a moment, we weren’t Alpha and Sidonnie but two individuals sharing a heart felt moment together.

“Thank you for being here,” Carlyle expressed sincerely. “I’ve missed you, especially in times like. these.”

Our dialogue flowed seamlessly, each word fostering a connection that transcended the roles we played. We touched upon shared memories, laughed at old anecdotes, and discussed plans for the future of Moon Shade Pack.

In those moments, the room became a sanctuary where genuine camaraderie flourished. As Carlyle
