Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 91

AMELIA’S POV

Walking briskly back to my apartment, the events of the meeting with the queen mother played over and over again in my mind like a broken record. The anger bubbled up within me, threatening to consume me whole as I thought about Varef’s attempts to undermine me and manipulate the situation to his advantage.

But amidst the anger, a glimmer of satisfaction began to take root within me as I remembered the outcome of Varef’s scheming. Despite his best efforts to convince the queen mother to turn against me on the spot, she had seen through his lies and shunned him, reaffirming her support for me and my position within the pack.

A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I recalled the look of disbelief on Varef’s face as the queen mother dismissed his claims with a wave of her hand. It was a small victory, to be sure, but one that filled me with a sense of triumph nonetheless.

For too long, I had allowed Varef’s manipulations and power plays to dictate my actions and control my fate. But no more. I had proven myself to the queen mother and earned her trust, and I would not allow Varef or anyone else to undermine that.

As I reached my apartment and let myself in, a sense of contentment washed over me like a warm embrace. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, I knew that I shall push through in one way or the other.

“You’re back, Amy.” Kyla, my maid uttered as she stood up from the stool she was sitting upon before my arrival. Despite being my maid, she has been closer to me like a sister. There’s virtually nothing about me she doesn’t know.

“Yes, I am,” I replied, my voice weary as I shrugged off the weight of the day’s events. My muscles ached from tension and my mind buzzed with thoughts that refused to quiet.

I glanced over at Kyla, grateful for her presence and the comfort of her familiarity. “Kyla, could

you prepare a hot bath for me?” I asked, my tone soft but urgent. I really needed to soothe my frayed nerves.

As Kyla bustled about, filling the wooden tub with steaming water and gathering fragrant

flowers, I began to undress, shedding the layers of armor that had protected me throughout the day..

As I sank into the soothing embrace of the bath, the warmth enveloping me like a cocoon, I allowed myself to relax for the first time in what felt like ages. But even as I closed my eyes and let the tension melt away, my mind remained stubbornly fixated on the events of the day.

Lost in thought, I barely noticed as Kyla approached, concern etched into every line of her

face.
