Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Crystal and Theo)

Chapter 24

SIDONNIE’S POV

Athena’s eyes bore into mine, a mix of curiosity and concern etched on her face.

“Carlyler Wow!” Her gaze shifted to Mason before returning to me. The room seemed to tighten with tension as she probed, “What did he say?”

I hesitated, the weight of the recent events pressing down on me.

“He tried talking to me, but I shut him down. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop him from dragging me into another issue. Now, I’m tangled up in Alpha Rex’s web, all thanks to

him.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Athena’s frustration flared. “How did he get you implicated?”

1 sighed, the gravity of the situation sinking in. “I don’t even know why he showed up, but whatever it was, it painted a target on my back. Alpha Rex and his sister are after me

now,”

Athena’s brows furrowed, a mix of worry and disbelief coloring her expression.

“I still don’t get what you’re saying, my dear.” She implored, her voice tinged with frustration. The room seemed to echo with the weight of unspoken fears and uncertainties as I struggled to convey the intricate web of events that had unfolded, leaving me caught in its unforgiving strands. I narrated the whole turn of events to Athena who listened with a sharp mind.

I concluded my narration with a heavy sigh. “Now, my only fear is him coming after

me.”

Athena’s response held a stark reality that sent shivers down my spine.

“There’s no avoiding that. He’s surely going to come after you now that he knows where

you are.”

I nodded in reluctant agreement, realizing the inescapable truth in her words.

The mere mention of Alpha Carlyle invoked a sense of impending doom, a formidable force with a relentless pursuit for what he desired. Athena’s voice carried the weight of experience, emphasizing the inevitability of the looming threat. The room seemed to tighten with an oppressive tension as the realization settled in – an Alpha like Carlyle, driven by an unwavering determination, was not one to back down easily, a trait that

had kept his going on and on since his early years as an Alpha and a businessman

Silence ensued betwea us for a while 1 and Athena had our respective thoughts as Athena’s words lingered in the air

“My dear, they always say prevention is better than a cure. In everything. I’ve taught you to always be prepared.” Her gaze held a mix of concern and wisdom, a silent plea for foresight in the face of the brewing crisis.

“This question that I’m about to ask you has been briefed before, but I’ll ask again. What do you plan to do when he finds out about his pup? We both know that by then, we’ll have no choice but to

concur to his wishes. Dating back to history, Alphas are always possessive about their flesh and blood in whatever way they may come.”

I glanced briefly at Mason, the unspoken truth hanging heavy in the air. His resemblance to Alpha Carlyle was undeniable as he took after Carlyle in so many ways. Should we talk about his brilliancy or his facial features? Everything spelt his father.

The weight of Athena’s question settled in, forcing me to confront the inevitable.

“Athena. I really don’t know what I would do when the time comes. I’m at a loss on this.” The admission hung in the air, filled with uncertainty.

Thinking about it, I can’t be selfish to Mason. He has every right to be with his father, so…” I trailed off. the unspoken difficulties of the impending situation.

“Are you saying you’re going to give in?” Athena’s question cut through the air, her gaze holding nothing but curiosity.

“No, I’m not implying that. What I meant was that if he wants his child, it’s fine. I’ll grant him the chance, strictly under my conditions. But no matter what, Mason remains mine, I responded with so much determination in my tone, though accompanied by a sigh that betrayed the internal struggle.

“That’s good, Willow,” Athena acknowledged, a glimmer of approval in her eyes.

“Or do you have any other favorable ideas?” I inquired, searching for alternate perspectives from a woman of wisdom like Athena.

“Can’t tell yet, my dear. When the time comes, we’ll see,” Athena replied with a measured calmness, leaving the uncertain future decisions that’s yet to unfold.

“That reminds me, you mentioned something about Alpha Carlyle’s visit to Alpha Rex which involved Alpha Rex’s sister, right?”

“Yes, I did. Is anything wrong?”

“Nothing really. But why don’t you try finding out what’s going on and what really brought Carlyle down here?”

“Why did you say that? Is there something I should be aware of?”

“Nothing, really. It’s better safe than sorry. You have to be fully aware of what’s going on since you’ve been ensnared into the whole thing.” She explained, and I nodded. She was right.
