Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Sidonie & Carlyle)

AMELIA’S POV

The last time I met Donald, he invited me to his Alpha’s upcoming wedding.

Donald and I stood facing each other while we conversed, talking about random things.

Suddenly, I noticed his countenance change and he was a bit nervous.

“Amelia, there’s something I wanted to ask you. I don’t know your take on it.”

This made me curious.

“What is it, Donald?” I asked, thinking if what’s so weighty for him to feel anxious before telling me.

Donald took a deep breath, gathering his courage before speaking.

“Alpha Carlyle and Sidonnie are getting married soon, and I was wondering if you would accompany me to the wedding as my guest.” He said.

My eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected invitation, as my mind raced with conflicting emotions. I was short for words at that moment because I really wasn’t expecting such an invitation from him. Not so soon. We have met a couple of times and we’ve bonded as the Queen mother wanted. But for me, it was something more. My feelings for him were more than just using him which was the reason I

approached him at first. I fell in love with him completely. Over the time, I found myself drawn and attracted to him day by day. I just couldn’t help it.

“Oh, Donald, I… I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.” I replied, stuttering a little.

Donald’s expression fell slightly at my response, but he quickly brushed the effect my reply had on him away, determined to persuade me.

“Why is it not a good idea?” He asked.

“I…I just feel it’s awkward. My identity…”

“Please, Amelia, it would mean a lot to me if you were there. You’re important to me, and I want you to be a part of this special occasion. Trust me, your identity won’t be an hindrance.”

I hesitated, torn between my desire to attend the wedding and my apprehension about being in such a public

setting of my species arch enemy.

“I appreciate the invitation, Donald, I really do. But I’m not sure if I’m ready for something like that. It’s all happening so fast. I can’t take that risk.” I stood my ground on my decision.

Donald nodded understandingly, but his eyes betrayed a hint of disappointment.

“I understand, Amelia. But please, think about it. The wedding is an opportunity for us to spend more time together, and I would be honored to have you by my side.” He paused, trying to see if I’ll change my mind. “Moreover, this is an opportunity for you to blend with my pack members and see what they really look like.”

I sighed softly, touched by Donald’s sincerity and determination to include me in his life. If not for my identity and the role I play in my pack as a Canthrastra, I would have said yes to him without a second thought.

But here, a lot things have to be considered.

“Okay, Donald. I’ll think about it. Thank you for inviting me. When is the wedding?”

“Four days from now. I should have told you about it the last time we met, but I had to consider it well”

Donald smiled gratefully, hoping that I would give him a positive reply at the end. I could read him.

“Thank you, Amelia. Just let me know your decision whenever you’re ready. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

We parted ways and I returned home. I’m my room, I paced back and forth as my mind was consumed with indecision. I knew Kyla was watching, observing me but that was the least of my thoughts. She was free to.

“Is everything alright, my lady? You seem troubled.” Kyla asked gently, trying to figure out what was wrong

I paused in my tracks, my brow furrowed in deep thought, before turning to face Kyla.

With hesitation, I replied, “I’m not sure, Kyla. I’ve been invited to a wedding, but I don’t know if I should go.”

Kyla’s eyes widened in surprise at my revelation.

“A wedding? Whose wedding is it?” She asked curiously.

I took a moment before responding, my voice tinged with uncertainty.

“It’s Alpha Carlyle and Sidonnie’s wedding. Donald, invited me to accompany him.”

“You mean, the Moon Shadow Alpha’s wedding?”

“Yes, his wedding.”

Kyla’s expression grew somber as she processed the information.

“I see… That’s a significant event indeed.” She uttered thoughtfully in a low tone.

I nodded to her words, feeling conflicted about what to do next.

“I’m just not sure if I belong there, Kyla. It’s all happening so fast, and I don’t want to intrude on their special day.”

“Those aren’t just your concerns, right?” Kyla asked. She knew me too well to know I was concerned about other things too.

“Yes, that’s not my only concern. I’m also concerned about what Canthra Minerva would say if I let her know beforehand. You know…the issue with Careful and all, I don’t want her getting the wrong idea that I’m getting too interested and attached to Donald.”

“You’re right, that would be dangerous.” Kyla commented.

“Exactly! Especially if Varef is there.” I bit on my lower lips frustratedly.

“Then don’t go! It’s better safe than to be in trouble. Remember you just healed from the last wound.”

“But I want to go.”

“Don’t tell the Queen mother, then. Go to the ceremony and I’ll try my best to cover for you.”

“I can’t put you in danger, Kyla. What if she finds out?”

“It’s your choice, then. Moreover, isn’t it part of the mission she assigned to you? Just take it as getting closer to him under her command.” She advised and I began pacing about again.

Kyla placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, smiling at me.

“Amelia, you must follow your heart in this matter. If attending the wedding feels right to you, then you should go. But if you’re unsure, it’s okay to decline.”

I considers Kyla’s words carefully, feeling torn between my desire to attend and my fear of overstepping

boundaries.

“Follow…you..heart” her words rang in my mind again and again.

“I suppose you’re right, Kyla. Perhaps I’m just overthinking things.”

Kyla smiled reassuringly at me, her eyes filled with warmth and understanding.

Remember, Amelia, everything happens for a reason. Trust in the guidance of the moon Goddess, and she will lead you down the right path. Follow your heart, everything has been ordained.”

Feeling comforted by Kyla’s words, I nodded in agreement, a sense of clarity washing over me.

“Thank you, Kyla. I’ll take your advice to heart.”

With Kyla’s support, I resolved to make a decision that felt true to myself, knowing that whatever choice I made, the moon Goddess was watching. With that, I decided to attend the ceremony like I wanted to.

On The Wedding Day

I stood before the mirror, my reflection adorned in a stunning gown as my hair cascaded in elegant waves.

“My lady, you look absolutely radiant. You’re sure to turn heads at the wedding.” Kyla admired me, placing a light kiss on my cheek.

I smiled, grateful for

hence.

as I gave myself one last glance in the mirror. Da mn! I was indeed beautiful.

“Thank you, Kyla. Thanks for do.”

As I arrived at the venue, I scanned the crowd, searching for Donald amidst the bustling activity.

“Amelia! You made it.” Donald approached me from behind. It wasn’t difficult for us to meet because of the mating bond.

My face lit up with a smile as Donald approached, his presence bringing me a sense of comfort.

“Donald! It’s good to see you.” I uttered, trying my best to look elegant as possible.

Donald’s eyes sparkle with admiration as he checked me out.

“You look absolutely stunning, Amelia. Truly breathtaking.”

Blushing at his compliment, I thanked him graciously before he extended his arm, offering to escort me inside.

“Shall we? The ceremony is about to begin.”

“Sure!” I nodded in agreement, linking my arm with his as we made our way towards the entrance, ready to partake in the joyous celebration ahead.

The celebration began and I really felt like I belonged there. The atmosphere was completely filled with love and I was happy. It was really worth attending. Throughout the ceremony, Donald never left my side. He made sure I was at ease and not scared.

After the ceremony, I got to talk to the Alpha and his beautiful Luna one on one. Such a privilege! Well, that was a given since I was his Beta’s mate.

Concluding our discussion with the Alpha, I heard the Luna point backwards, saying,

“Athena is here”

Definitely, she was expecting someone. I and Donald, turned in the direction she was headed to welcome the person and I couldn’t believe my eyes at all. Canthra Minerva! How come? What was she doing there? How did the Moon Shadow Luna know her? Why did she refer to her a Athena? Is that her name?

“Oh no! I’m done for.” I whispered to myself, hiding behind Donald on reflex.

“Is something wrong?” Donald asked, noticing my uneasiness.

“Definitely not!” I managed to smile.

Not until I spotted Canthra Minerva approaching us did I know hiding behind Donald was not an option and I have to leave as soon as possible before she caught sight of me.

“Donald, we need to go. Now.” I whispered urgently.

Donald’s brows furrowed in confusion as I took his hand, pulling him away from the Alpha and his Luna.

“Amelia, what’s wrong? Is everything alright?” He asked with concern.

“I just need a moment to myself. Can you show me where the restroom is?” I forced a smile.

Donald’s concern deepened, but he nodded in understanding, leading me towards a secluded corner away from prying eyes.

“Of course. Follow me.”

As we made our way through the bustling crowd, Donald guided me towards the restroom, his worry evident in his eyes.

“Are you sure you’re okay, Amelia? You seem a bit… off.”

I forced a reassuring smile, my mind racing with thoughts of avoiding Canthra Minerva’s gaze and making a hasty escape.

“I’m fine, Donald. Just a little overwhelmed by the crowd. Thank you for your help.”

With a grateful nod from him, I slipped into the restroom, my heart pounding with the need to evade Canthra Minerva’s scrutiny, if only for a little while longer.

“Oh Goddess!” I cursed inwardly. I never expected this. Not in my wildest imagination.
