Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Crystal and Theo)

Chapter 86

CARLYLE’S POV

“Let’s not rush things, Alpha Carlyle” she chipped in immediately.

Her words tempered the rush of excitement that had swelled within me, grounding me in the present moment. Despite the warmth of her smile, there was a hint of caution in her eyes.

“Why did

you say that? What do you mean by that?” I asked nervously, holding her shoulders in my hand while staring deeply into her eyes, searching for answers. The way she spoke and the sudden honorifics made ne antsy about what made her speak that way and abut what her reply would be.

“Did I offend her?” I questioned myself.

“No! You didn’t. She’s worried about something else. Keep calm.” Laryl surfaced to the superficial part of my mind as he replied my question which was directed to no one in particular. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“The traditions, the status, everything…it’s all think it’s the right time to get

her quite well but as an Alpha, it shouldn’t be

married?” She questioned with concern. I unde

that bothersome to me.

As I held her shoulders, her vulnerability echoed in her words, stirring a mix of emotions within

1. me.

“I understand what you mean, but traditions and status should not dictate the timing of our love.”

Her brows furrowed in thought, her gaze searching mine for reassurance. “But as the Alpha, shouldn’t we consider the implications of our actions on the pack?” she questioned, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

I nodded, acknowledging the weight of her words.

“Of course, we must consider the well–being of our pack,” I agreed, my mind racing with possibilities. “But our love is not bound by tradition or status. It transcends such constraints.”

I nodded, acknowledging the wisdom in her words. “You’re right,” I agreed, my voice steady with conviction. “We shouldn’t rush into anything without careful consideration.”

As the leader of our pack, I understood the importance of measured decision–making, especially when it came to matters as significant as marriage. It was a commitment that required thoughtfulness and intentionality.

But even as I spoke the words, a flicker of impatience stirred within me, a yearning to solidify our bond and move forward into the next chapter of our lives. Yet, I knew that true love was worth waiting for, worth nurturing and cherishing until the timing was just right.

Sensing the tension between us, Laryl interjected with his wisdom. “Love knows no boundaries, Alpha,” he reminded me, his voice a soothing presence amidst the turmoil of emotions. “It is a force unto itself, guiding us towards our true path.”

I turned to Donnie, my heart heavy with understanding. “We may be navigating uncharted

territory, but together, we are stronger than any challenge that may come our way,” I affirmed, my voice ringing with conviction. “Let us forge our own path, one built on love, trust, and mutual respect.”

Donnie’s eyes softened at my words, a glimmer of hope shining amidst the shadows of doubt. “I trust you, Carl,” she whispered.

“Let’s take things one step at a time, together.”

And as we stood there, united in our resolve, I knew that no matter what the future held, our love would be our guiding light, illuminating the path ahead with hope and possibility. I pulled her into a hug, k*ssing her forehead while thinking about her concerns.

As my l*ps brushed against Donnie’s forehead, a surge of tenderness washed over me, igniting a firestorm of emotions that threatened to consume me whole. The atmosphere seemed to pulse with the intensity of our connection, the air heavy with unspoken truths and untold desires.

Before we could bask in the afterglow of our affection, the sound of tiny footsteps echoed nearby, cutting through the silence like a knife. Mason, bounded towards us with a joyous exuberance that was contagious, his laughter echoing off the walls like music to my ears.

“Daddy, Mummy, k*ss me too!” he exclaimed, his eyes wide with anticipation as he held out his tiny

arms.

My heart swelled with love as I scooped him up into my embrace, his laughter filling the room like a symphony of pure joy. Donnie’s smile mirrored my own as she leaned in to press a k*ss to his

cheek, the sweetness of the moment enveloping us like a warm embrace.

In that moment, surrounded by the ones I held most dear, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together, united in our bond and unwavering in our resolve. And as

I pressed a k*ss to Mason’s forehead, I vowed to cherish every precious moment we shared, for love was the greatest gift of all. The day has indeed been spent well.

Taking a step forward towards my aim of getting married to Sidonnie, I began the process as soon as we returned to the pack.

First, I had to inform the royal elders of my decision. Definitely, this was going to be one hell of a task. It wan’t going to be easy. But it was a necessary step towards building a future with the woman. I loved.

Gathering my resolve, I sought out the royal elders, their presence commanding respect and authority as they presided over the affairs of our pack. Sitting before them, I felt a surge of nervous energy coursing through my veins, my heart pounding with anticipation.

“Alpha Carlyle,” one of the elders greeted me, his voice deep and resonant. “To what do we owe the honor of your call?”

I cleared my throat, steeling myself for the task at hand. “I come before you today to seek your

blessing for

my union with Sidonnie,” I began, my words measured and deliberate.

The elders exchanged knowing glances, their expressions unreadable as they considered my request.

“This is no small matter, Alpha,” another elder remarked, his tone grave. “The traditions of our pack dictate that such unions must be carefully considered and sanctioned by the royal council.”

I nodded, acknowledging the gravity of their words. “I understand the importance of tradition,” I assured them, my voice steady despite the turmoil brewing within me. “But my love for Sidonnie is unwavering, and I am committed to honoring our bond with the utmost respect and reverence.”

There was a moment of tense silence as the elders deliberated amongst themselves, their expressions betraying no hint of their thoughts. Finally, the eldest among them spoke, his voice carrying the weight of centuries of tradition.

“We will convene the royal council to discuss this matter further,” he declared, his words echoing through the chamber with finality. “Until then, Alpha Carlyle, we ask that you exercise patience and discretion in this delicate affair. The timing isn’t too suitable.”

I bowed my head in deference, accepting their decision with a sense of determination. “Thank you, elders,” I replied, my voice tinged with gratitude. “I will await your decision with hope and anticipation.”

And as I turned to leave, one elder called for me to wait after others dispersed already.

“Is there a problem?” I asked.

“It really can’t be called one. I just want you to know that these elders don’t want to tell you the

truth. Everyone of them is against your marriage with your baby mama.”
