Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Pregnant and abandoned.

Sidonie’s POV

A loud beeping sound filled my ears as I slowly became aware of my surroundings. I groaned at the annoying sound, shaking my head to get it out. There was a low murmur and then I felt someone touch my head.

I hissed at the pain and my eyes flew open, ready to fight whoever it was.

A man was wearing a white coat, looming above me. The pair of stethoscopes hanging around his neck made me calm down. Behind him was a nurse holding a metal tray and some cotton wool.

Pain drifted down my temple again and I directed my attention back to the doctor. What the hell was he doing?

Scratch that, what was I doing here?

Last I recalled, I was on the bridge. My body didn’t feel wet, so I doubted I had jumped into the river.

So how exactly had I gotten here?

“Oh good, you’re awake.” He said with a smile and stepped back. “We’d been worried you had suffered a fatal blow. But your head seems fine. Only a bruise and that should heal in a day or two.”

I frowned at him and tried to sit up. He grabbed my arms and propped me against the bed headboard.

“Thank you,” I murmured hoarsely. “What happened? How did I get here?”

“A group of people rushed you in.” The nurse replied, walking to a bin in the wardroom to throw the cotton wool. She sounded unimpressed. “They saw you faint on the bridge and brought you here.”
