Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

SIDONNIE’S POV

“Hey, watch your steps. The woman hurried to my side, holding me up as I nearly fell from the bed which I laid.

“Take it easy, you’re in safe hands.” She assured me, but I found it hard to let my guard loose for some reasons.

“What am I doing here? I mean, how did I get here in the first place?” I questioned aggressively.

“Take it easy, young lady. I’m so sure you don’t want to affect the baby.”

Oh! That’s true! I’m pregnant. My hand slowly reached out to my belly, cupping it delicately. How could I forget that I had another life inside of me? So far so good, I thought I have been able to come to terms with my pregnancy, but….

“That doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother to your baby. It’s normal for all first timers.” The woman who sat close to me on a nearby chair flashed an assuring smile at me. But her smile only made me become wary of her the more. Who is she? I wasn’t speaking my thoughts out loud, but she responded to them like she was hearing be loud and clear.

“Who are you exactly? How were you able to read my thoughts? Are you sure I’m safe like you said?” I tried using my wolf senses to figure out who she was but she basically had no smell. I couldn’t tell if she was human, a werewolf, a werecoyote, a witch, or some other type of supernatural being.

“Of course, you are in safe hands. I don’t bite.”

“That’s not the answer I’m expecting, ma’am!” I yelled at her. “Who are you exactly? Let’s start from there.” I was being defensive all over again.

“Okay, fine. I’m Athena.” She answered simply, not bothering to utter any more word about her identity.

“You surely know what I mean, right? Since you can read my thoughts, you should know what I want to know. You should know what I meant by ‘who are you?“. I can’t figure it out.”

“I know you can’t, which is why you’re here.”

“What do you mean?” My brows furrowed in confusion.

“Young lady, I can’t tell you much right now. Perhaps as time goes on, you’ll get to know

me better. But trust me when I say you’re in the safest hands at the moment.” She spoke to me with so much serenity in her voice which I’ve ever heard. Her words calmed every raging nerves in my body as I stared at her, sculpting every structure and. emotion on her face to memory.

After taking a satisfactory look at her, I heaved a sigh, hoping I’m not trusting the wrong person. It’s not like I have another place to go after all.

“So, with that said, where were you

going to?” The woman’s question jolted me out of

“I…I…” I couldn’t find words to say. How was I going to tell her I ran away from home?

“I think honesty is a key to getting things done.”

“I left.” I was nervous, spitting out answers from my mouth.

“I know that, already. But why?”

“It’s a long story.”

“I’m willing to listen. Only then can I know how to help you.”

“I had to leave from an arranged marriage which my parents wanted for me so badly.”

For a while, Athena was silent.

“Okay, so you’re trying to stay with the baby’s father or what?”

“It’s complicated, Athena.”

“The person I’m to marry is the owner of the baby. He’s an Alpha, the Alpha of our pack.”

“Wait, if I get you right, your baby daddy is your betrothed and he’s the Alpha of your pack?”

“Yes, he is the same person involved in all situations of my life.”

“If I were you, that’s the perfect option and opportunity for a young lady like you. Why did you run away?”

“I never intended to leave, but he hates me so much. I can’t tell why that is exactly, but he does, even after knowing we’re mates.”

“You’re mates?” Athena was surprise my revelation, and I nodded in affirmation to NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

her answer. “Then, what happened?”

I went ahead to narrate all that transpired between I and the Alpha from being my one night–stand stranger to being my betrothed and then, my baby daddy.

“That’s incredible! So, he doesn’t know about the baby?” Athena paid full attention te my narration, and I so much appreciated her for it. It was like I had someone I could lean on. Someone who understood my present predicament. And from how easy I became with her, it felt like I made the right choice of speaking out to her as that was pretty much what I needed then.

“No, he doesn’t. I made sure he didn’t catch whiff of it before I left. Had I stayed a while more, I might have been exposed by then. It’s possible for him to perceive his pup inside me since he’s an Alpha.” I explained.

“But why didn’t you want him to know? After all, it’s his pup too.”

“Yes, it is his pup but what if he only wants his pup thereafter? He might have me with him just for the pup and the moment I’m due. I get nothing. Then, I’ll be back to his hate and dislike. Having his pup does not necessarily mean he’s going to accept me as his mate or like me.”

“But have you thought of what he’s going to do if he finds out about his baby?”

“I don’t plan on letting him know. Not now, not ever.”

“From experience, the baby is going to ask for his father. What will you do by then?”

“I don’t know, Athena. But I really want to pull through this in the best way and succeed without relationship hitches.”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, I have nothing to say. What do you want to do

next?”

“I don’t know, Athena. Though, finding a source of income is the first thing for me. I need to fend for myself and my unborn child. But I’m scared!”
