Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

Chapter 36

CARLYLE’S POV

“I’m not saying we would not return, Donnie. But let’s make sure you get better first. I can’t afford taking you on the long journey in this situation.”

“Time is what matters, Alpha Carlyle. I’m okay,” Donnic insisted, her voice steadier than I expected.

“No, you’re not, Donnie. You’re weak already, with depreciating energy,” I countered, my concern etched across my face as I examined the wound inflicted by the once benign White Dasier.

“It’s nothing. Everyone being safe is all I wish for.” She uttered.

“Alright dear, if you insist. I will surely grant your wish.”

Carrying her up on her feet, I made sure she had the ability to work while leaning on me. Our journey back is going to be tough and slow but I was ready for the task. She has sacrificed so much for me just right after we settled our differences.

“How did that weapon form?” Donnie inquired, our pace deliberate and measured as we retraced our steps.

“It was the White Dasier, and I’m finding it suspicious. Who did you say sent you here?” I questioned, my thoughts wrestling with the unfolding mystery.

“It was Athena who requested the White Dasier, but I don’t think she’s the one behind the whole thing, Donnic responded, her gaze fixed on the path ahead.
