Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 20

CARLYLE’S POV

Entering the restaurant kitchen, an immediate sense of tension hung thick in the air. Pots and pans clattered to the floor as Raina hurled questions at Donnie, their faces contorted with anger. The kitchen looked nothing than a chaotic battleground.

Dishes lay shattered, remnants of the escalating confrontation. The acrid scent of spilled sauces mixed with the metallic tang of panic filled the air. Every employees were frozen in their respective spots as glanced nervously at one another, uncertain of how to act since it was thier princess in front of them.

A particular man dressed in a chef outfit stood with a furrowed brow, silently assessing the escalating chaos, their eyes wide with a blend of fear and confusion.

As I stepped into the maclstrom, the intensity of their argument escalated. Raina’s gestures were sharp and accusatory, while Donnie’s responses were defensive, each word a verbal parry in their emotional duel.

“What’s going on here?” I directed my gaze to Raina.

“Whatever you see fit. She replied, rolling her eyes at me.

“Is this how to act like a princess that you are? Is this?”

“And who are you to question me? Meet me at my brother’s when you’re done.” She said and left with her minions.

I took a momentarily look at Sidonnie, who gazed at me hardly. Her eyes, once warm and welcoming, turned icy, and she fixed me with a death glare that could freeze time.

My stomach churned with realization, a knot tightening as I fought my wolf inside me too. I sensed the gravity of my unintentional offense, a cold sweat forming on my brow. The room seemed to hush, amplifying the tension between us.

She clenched her fists, a subtle yet powerful sign of her displeasure. The air around us thickened, and I felt an invisible barrier of resentment. Every step I took was met with her unyielding stare, a silent accusation that cut deeper than any words could.

Attempting to salvage the situation, I stammered out an apology, but the damage had been done. Her body language spoke volumes, a ballet of restrained anger and wounded pride. I would have have had the chance to speak to her but that time. wouldn’t be the best of times to do so.
