Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 35

CARLYLE’S POV

Getting to Aridah, the seal looked fine with no problem at all and everything around looked normal the way it is. But then, one could never get too careful. Double–checking the facts, I tried my best to find the endpoint of the seal which is usually the most. vulnerable part of such seals.
