Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Crystal and Theo)

Chapter 19

CARLYLE’S POV

“I’m sorry,” I blurted out, unable to contain my

frustration.

“The first impression I have of you is so terrible, and I can’t put up with it because you pose to be a spoilt brat!” With those words hanging in the air, I turned away without. looking back. My mind was consumed by thoughts of Donnie, and the need to talk to her weighed heavily on my conscience, drowning out the aftermath of the encounter

with Raina.

Entering the part of the restaurant that was meant for employees, I approached the employees with a determined look on my face. Spotting a waiter with a friendly countenance, I decided to inquire about Donnie.

“Hey, excuse me,” I began, trying to keep my tone.casual. “Do you happen to know Donnic, the one who works here?”

“No, I don’t. I’m new here.” He replied. I saw another person passing by and asked him.

too.

“Do you know Donnie, please?”

The waiter nodded, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. “Yeah, she’s been with us for a while. What’s up?”

I hesitated for a moment before continuing. “I’ve been looking for her. Is she around?”

He pointed toward the kitchen. “Yeah, she’s probably in there. Anything specific you. need?”

“I just need to talk to her, it’s important. Do you mind letting her know I’m looking for her?” I sighed.

He nodded again, understanding the urgency in my request. “Sure thing, I’ll give her a heads up.”

As I waited, my thoughts raced with anticipation, wondering how this conversation with Donnie would unfold.

With a mix of anxiety and hope, I approached the waiter who had offered to relay my message to Donnic.

“So, did she say anything?” I asked, trying to read the waiter’s expression.

He hesitated for a moment before replying. “I’m sorry, man. She refused to see you.

She didn’t give a reason, she just said she wasn’t interested.”

A wave of disappointment washed over me, and I tried to mask my feelings.

“Did she mention anything else? Maybe when she might be available?”

The waiter shook his head,

“No, nothing like that, just a flat–out refusal. Sorry, wish I could help more.”

As I listened to the waiter’s response, a mixture of frustration and confusion clouded. my thoughts. Donnie’s rejection left me with unanswered questions, and the challenge of understanding what had transpired in the past three years remained in my mind.

While waiting there, Raina walked up to me with two of her female maids beside her. It turned out that she had been watching me while I made my inquiries.

“So, who’s she?” She asked from behind while I was thinking about other ways to get to

Donnic.

“Oh, hey. I never knew you were still here. What were you waiting for?”

“Are you supposed to tell me that? Aren’t you scared I’m going to tell my brother about this?”

“And that was why I said you’re a spoilt brat,” I yelled at her, shutting her up. After at brief rethought of my actions, I decided to play it right.

“Anyway, she’s someone I know. We had quite a history,” I explained simply with a tone that indicated I wasn’t at all going to entertain further questions pertaining to Donnie.

“That didn’t look like “just friends” to me. Why did you leave me alone and sneak off to chat with her?”

“It wasn’t a big deal, miss. I was trying to talk to her as a member of my pack.” I tried my best to be polite even though I was beginning to lose it.

How dare she question me? Who is she? Just because I agree tomorrow doesn’t mean she should feel all powerful. She doesn’t even worth being my Luna with her silly. attitude.

“Really? Because it felt like you were more interested in her than in being with me.

“You’re overreacting. And I don’t think it should be any of your business.” I declared harshly, hurting her pride.

“You think? That’s the problem. You didn’t think about how your actions affect me. I thought we were supposed to be here together, trying to know more about each other.

But…

“Young woman! You’re blowing this out of proportion. Be warned,” I said, heading out after tipping a waiter to help me direct Donnie to some particular place.

“Sir, I suggest you come now.” The waiter’s urgent tone sent a shiver down my

ver

spine as he delivered the us message. Without a moment’s hesitation, I left my

seat and followed him, my curiosity morphing into concern.

The clatter of dishes and hushed conversations in the restaurant faded into the background as I followed behind the waiter through the maze of tables. He moved with purpose, weaving through the crowded dining area. My mind raced with questions, trying to anticipate the reason for this unexpected summons. But a part of me knew what was going on already. Raina was querying Donnie, imposing her power as a princess.

“How are you related to Alpha Carlyle?” Raina queried.

“I don’t get what you mean, ma’am,” Donnie answered.

“Don’t act dumb here, young woman. I saw you both earlier.”

“I’m just a member of his pack, nothing more.”

“What happened between you two? He said you had history.”

“I don’t get what you mean, ma’am. If he said so, you should ask him directly and not coming to me, ma’am.”

“Are you insane? How dare you talk to me that way? Do you know who I am?” Raina raised her hand at Donna, slapping her hard on the face.

All these, I could hear at a distance.

As we reached the back of the restaurant, I saw Donnie’s face. It was one that now bore an expression of distress. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“What’s going on?” I demanded, my voice betraying a mixture of anxiety and confusion. My mind beat faster than usual seeing my mate in pain.

The employees exchanged glances between each other before reluctantly speaking.

“It’s… it’s….” I understood that they dared not speak. My pulse quickened with anger.

As we entered the kitchen, a surreal scene unfolded before me. Pots and pans clattered, and the air was thick with tension. It was small, furry, and seemed out of place amidst the stainless steel and bustling chefs.

“What in the world is that?” I queried with a growl, making everyone flinch.
