Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 66

CARLYLE’S POV

I directed my gaze toward Raina with my stern and authoritative expression.

“Raina, your actions are inappropriate. This is not the time or place for such revelations. Why did you come in in the first place?”

“You didn’t ask me this question when you were ill, about to die.” She retorted.

“This is not your pack, Raina. I wouldn’t let you stray this way. You can’t act anyhow you like here.”

Raina remained stubborn, talking back with a defiance that only fueled the tension in the room. It couldn’t let her disrupt the peace further, and considering her brother’s position in the supernatural world, I chose a different course of action.

Normally, I would have had her punished gravely for her offense but I couldn’t.

“Raina, I warn you. If you persist in causing disturbances and acting wildly like some uncultured being, there will be consequences,” I declared firmly with the weight of authority in my voice.

“That should be your problem when you’re fully recovered. Right now, all the power lies in my hands.” Her response was far from compliant, but I couldn’t take drastic measures due to her brother’s position and other reasons which included the deal we made with her before she could lend us the Blue Bliss Crown she owned.

“Have her punished according to the pack’s rules. I was forced to give such an order to Donald.

“No, you can’t. This isn’t the way of an Alpha. We have to stick to the rules and her conditions like she requested.” Donald reminded me of the whole thing her actions, her demeanor, her mannerism toward me, everything was getting me red with anger.

Instead of doing what I intended to do, I turned to Donald, instructing him to confine Raina within the guest space of the pack, hoping to contain the turmoil she was causing.

“Make sure she has no way to leave that place and find a way to cut off her communication network with her pack, Rex to be precise. I can’t have anyone walking over to lecture me about some hospitality treatment at the moment.

“Are you sure you want to do this? Have you thought it through?” Donald asked but I wasn’t in any way listening to all he has to say. I was way angrier then because of the way Donnie left.

“Of course, I have. Moreover, it won’t be forever. It should be till Donnie comes to terms with me, till I earn her forgiveness. I replied with utmost honesty. I didn’t mean to hide things from Donnie in the first place. In fact, I had planned to tell her when everything with Raina settles down. Who knew that she would get to know beforehand? Not even in a good way at that.
