Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 55

CARLYLE'S POV

As Donnie shared her fears about facing her parents, | couldn't help but feel a sense of understanding and

responsibility. Her vulnerability in that moment allowedto see a side of her that she hadn't revealed before.

We sat together, and | gently placed my hand on hers, offering

reassurance.

“Donnie, facing your parents is undoubtedly a challenging step for you, but you won't be alone. I'll be right there

with you. Your parents might surprise you with their understanding, and even if they have concerns, we'll

address them together.”

| could see a mixture of relief and uncertainty in her eyes. The feeling of the unknown lingered, but | was

determined to be a steady support for her..

“We're a team now, and whatever comes our way, we'll face it together, | added, hoping to ease sof her

worries.

She gavea grateful smile, and | sensed a growing connection between us.

“Moreover, they won't dare say no to an Alpha.” | blurted. Donnie flashed a quizzical look at me, and | hurriedly

explained more of what | meant.

“I'm not planning to be brutal with them. What | meant was that they would be grateful for havingas their

son-in-law.

“I hope so.” She uttered, unconvinced.

“Why did you say so? | feel like you're not buying my words.”

“That's because | know my parents so well. They could be unpredictable sometimes, just like they were back

then when they insisted that | get married to an Alpha without waiting for my mate.”

“Luckily, your betrothed Alpha turned out to be your mate, isn’t it? Then you have nothing to worry about.” |

winked at her in a funny way and she managed to smile with a blush of red on her cheeks.

Returning to Moon Shade ahead of Donnie and Mason allowedthe opportunity to prepare the pack for their

arrival. While | wished we could all travel together, | understood the practicality of taking things one step at a

time.

As an Alpha, | had responsibilities to uphold in my pack, and preparing Moon Shade for the return of its Luna and

the young heir was a crucial task. The journey back held significance not only for Donnie and Mason but for the

entire pack, most especially, Donnie’s parents.

| spent my days organizing meetings with the pack elders, ensuring that everyone was aware of the upcoming

changes. The news of Donnie’s return with Mason generated a mix of excitement and curiosity within the pack as

| didn’t announce the in-depth of the matter. | had ordered Donald to

create a rumor so it wouldn't meet them as a shock.

“Donald, we need to prepare the pack for Donnie and Mason's return. It's essential that we handle. this with

care, ensuring a smooth transition, | had stated, looking at the list of tasks laid out before

1. us.

“Absolutely, Carlyle. The pack needs to be informed, but we should tread lightly. This news will be at surprise for

many,” Donald had responded, leaning against the table.

“| agree. Let's start by creating a controlled narrative. | want you to spread the word about Donnie’s return, but

keep the details vague. We don’t want any unnecessary shock or speculation,” | had instructed..

Donald nodded, understanding the delicate nature of the situation. “Got it, Carlyle. I'll make sure the pack is

excited without knowing the full story. Should | mention Mason too?”

| considered it for a moment. “Mention Mason as a new member of the pack, but let's keep his relationship to

Donnie discreet for now. We'll reveal everything at the right time.”

“Understood. I'll start working on the announcement, and we can address the pack soon,” Donald had affirmed,

ready to carry out the plan.

“But cto think of it, you're happier than usual. Is it because of the imaginations?” Donald suddenly chipped

in.

“What imaginations?”

“Imaginations of the things you're going to do with her, he moved closer to me, placing his mouth. a few inches

away from my ears as he whispered, “Going deeper in her and increasing your strength and power while she

screams your name.” He teased me. Though, he was right, but it was the very least of my thoughts.

“Fuck you!” | threw a table glass at him which he dodged, laughing loudly.

As he left to execute the strategy, | couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. The pack’s reaction to this news

would shape the atmosphere for Donnie and Mason's return, and | was determined to make it a positive one.

Moon Shade was about to welcback one of its own, along with a new member of the royal family.

There were practical matters to attend to as well-arranging suitable accommodations for Donnie and Mason,

making sure their transition would be smooth. Moon Shade had changed since Donnie’s departure, and | aimed

to make it a welcoming and supportive environment for their

return.

In the midst of these preparations, | found moments to reflect on the journey we had embarked upon. It wasn’t

just about the reunion of mates; it was about the unity of our packs and the fulfillment of destinies intertwined.

The challenges ahead were significant, but | was determined to lead our packs into a harmonious future.

As the days passed, | awaited their arrival with a sense of anticipation and readiness. The journey

ahead was bound to bring about transformations, and Moon Shade was poised to embrace the changes that fate

had in store for us.

A few days before their planned arrival, | got a message that | have special guests.

“Who are they?” | queried, fully alert.

“They said they want to see you themselves. They didn’t telltheir identity. The messenger replied. Who

could they be? And why do they want to seewithout prior introduction?

Readily, | prepared my mind that anything could happen before going to see who it was.

“Good day, Alpha Carlyle.”

Itw

Lo and behold! It was Xander and his wife, Donnie’s parents.
