Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 79

DONNIE’S POV

“Mama, who is she?”

“Is there something you need?”

Raina’s eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp and piercing as she studied me with undisguised suspicion. “I heard

you were talking to…what’s her name? Athena,” she said, her tone accusatory. “What was that all about?”

I sighed, the weight of Raina’s hostility adding to the burden that already weighed heavily upon my shoulders. “It was nothing.” I replied wearily, my patience wearing thin. “Just catching up with an old friend.”

Raina scoffed, a derisive sound that grated on my nerves like sandpaper. “Don’t play dumb with me, Donnie,” she snapped, her voice sharp with anger. “I know there’s more to it than that. What were. you two really talking about?”

I braced myself for the confrontation that I knew was inevitable, but deep down, I couldn’t muster the energy to engage in yet another argument with Raina. Not tonight, when my heart felt heavy with the weight of uncertainty and fear.

“Look, Raina,” I said wearily, my voice tinged with resignation. Im not in the mood for this right now. Can we please just leave it be?”

To my surprise, Raina’s expression softened, her hostility giving way to a flicker of something akin. to understanding. “Fine,” she muttered grudgingly, her voice tinged with a hint of regret. “But don’t think this is over, Donnie. We still have unfinished business.”

With that ominous warning hanging in the air between us, Raina turned on her heel and stalked off into the night, leaving me alone with my thoughts and the weight of unspoken tensions that lingered like a storm on the horizon.

As I watched her retreating figure disappear into the darkness, I couldn’t help but wonder what the future held in store for us all. But for now, all I could do was steel myself for the challenges that lay ahead and pray that I had the strength to face them head–on.
