Chapter 21

SIDONNIE’S POV

Seeing Alpha Carlyle at the restaurant I work, a sinking feeling gripped my chest as I stared at my worst nightmare showing up before me. It was as if time had stood still, and the haunting specter of what I’d tried to escape was now inescapably real. Since I left Moon Shade, I knew a day like this would come soon but I never expected it to come so fast and not in that type of avenue.

My heartbeat quickened, a surge of anxiety coursing through my veins. The familiar surroundings felt alien, shadows of the past creeping into my present. I fought to steady my breath, but the memories flooded back, threatening to overwhelm me.

I could taste the bitter cocktail of fear and regret, the bitter residue of a chapter I thought I had closed. The very sight of what I dreaded brought back a cascade of emotions inadequacy, heartache, and the persistent ache of unresolved pain.

In that moment, my workplace became a battleground of old demons, each corner echoing with the whispers of a past I wished to forget. The ground beneath me felt unsteady, and I struggled to maintain composure as the remnants of my worst nightmare resurfaced, threatening to sweep me off my feet once again.

If I had a choice, I would have just turned around and left but I had no choice as it was my duty to serve customers. Any misbehaviour from me could warrant in losing my job and that’s the last thing I need in my life at that point.

Leaving his table with the lady he was with whom I later identified to be the princess of the Blue Wave Pack, the pack where I work, he called me back to help him with his handkerchief..

Such a smart move. Alpha Carlyle hates dirt so much. That, I know about him. Allowing his handkerchief fall was so unusual and I could tell it was a well calculated move.

It took every strength in me to focus on my work once again since I saw him. Just when I thought I have pushed thoughts about him to the back of my mind, the Blue Wave Princess stormed the kitchen.

“Who were those sent to serve my meal?” She asked. The lady’s eyes blazed with a fierce intensity, her nostrils flaring as she surveyed the kitchen with a mix of disbelief and fury. A growl escaped her lips, her body tensing with an untamed rage.
