Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 96

AMELIA’S POV

It was high time I reported to the Queen Mother about the duties she sent me. Normally, I ought to report to her immediately I returned that same day or very early the next day, but I didn’t. The events of the day had left me feeling drained and unsettled, and I had needed some time to gather my thoughts before facing

her.

Heading to her place at a later time, I could only hope that Varef wasn’t there since he wouldn’t cease to use any opportunity he gets against me. I could say the Queen Mother won’t give in to him and the case should turn otherwise.

As I made my way to the Queen Mother’s chambers, a sense of apprehension gnawed at my insides, threatening to consume me with its relentless grip..

Upon getting to the ornate doors that led to the Queen Mother’s chambers, my heart pounded in my chest like a drumbeat of impending doom. I couldn’t shake the feeling of dread that clung to me like a shadow as I carried every single step

there.

But I squared my shoulders and straightened my spine, summoning every ounce of courage and determination that I possessed. Whatever happens, I’ve always survived.

With a deep breath, I stepped into the Queen Mother’s chambers. And as I caught sight of her regal figure seated upon her throne, I immediately lowered my head in respect.

“Canthra Minerva,” I greeted her respectfully, bowing low before her. “I’m here to report about the last order you gave to me.”

“Quite alright, I’m all ears.”

“Just like you ordered, I moved closer to him, we talked and spent a bit long time together. Now, he thinks I’m with him because of the mate bond.”

“That’s good. Were you able to get anything from him?”

“Nothing definite yet. I tried inciting him against the Alpha of Moon Shadow but it didn’t work. More or less like my words had no impact on him and I didn’t want to push it.” I paused, studying Canthra Minerva’s expression.

“He’s so clean at heart and does everything according to protocols” I added quickly.
