Chapter 101 CARLYLE’S POV “This isn’t the Donald I know.” I said with a resigned tone. “It’s fine. Do what you want!” I heaved a sigh, without looking at him again. If he didn’t want me to be involved in his life because he found his mate, so be it. After minutes of silence which I expected him to have taken his leave, he stood still on a spot. “Is there any other thing you want to talk about?” I asked, more or less like a query. “I’m sorry, Carl. I didn’t mean to say that or have this argument with you.” He uttered with remorse but I was too annoyed to listen. The air was filled with tension as I faced Donald. His words hung heavy in the air as it rang in my ears severally. “It’s fine. You can leave,” I stated firmly with a clipped as I avoided his emotions roiling beneath the surface. gaze, my “Carl, I really mean it, I’m sorry. You don’t have to act this way, dude,” Donald pleaded, his voice tinged with frustration and regret. “Don’t tell me you are expecting another word from me after that insult,” I shot back, my anger simmering just below the surface. “I just apologized, Carlyle,” Donald insisted, his tone pleading as he tried to defuse the tension between us. “You’re forgiven but precaution needs to be taken,” I replied tersely, as I struggled to contain my emotions. any “Don’t get me wrong,” Donald began, hesitantly as he sought to explain his actions. “I didn’t tell you about Amelia and I meeting because I didn’t want her to suffer form of prejudice before we got to know each other. Moreover, I needed to know what she thinks about the whole mate bond and who she is.”
I felt a pang of guilt as I listened to his explanation, the weight of accusations weighing heavily on my conscience. my earlier “Am I that type of person to you?” I asked, my voice softening as I searched his eyes for answers while wondering what he thought of me all this while, “Am I such a person that wouldn’t want his brother’s happiness?” O Chapter 101 “I know how you can be when it comes to protecting your pack because of her identity and how we met.” Donald admitted, his voice tinged with regret. “I know you are going to be against it. Look at what you did just at the mention of her.” He paused, heaving a sigh. “You didn’t wait any second before speaking against it and querying me.” His words hit me like a punch to the gut and the realization of my own actions sank in with painful clarity. “It’s fine, Donald. I’m sorry if I made you feel bad. I couldn’t help but be careful,” I replied, my voice filled with remorse. “I know, Carl,” Donald said, his tone softening as he reached out a hand to squeeze my shoulder in reassurance. “Being your Beta, I know what is at stake, but trust me, she’s a good one. She’s just a lady born in their midst.” Despite his reassurances, a sense of unease lingered around us. “Don’t be so sure, Donald. You have to stand guard,” I cautioned with concern. “In history, nothing done with a Canthrastra ever ended well because of their cu nning attitude and tricky acts. Don’t forget that.” “I know, Carl. But it’s worth a try for me,” Donald insisted despite the doubts that lingered in his mind. “Think of it this way, the Goddess made her my mate for a reason. How about that?” I paused, considering his words carefully before nodding in reluctant agreement. “Alright, I’ll support you for now. But never cease to be careful,” I replied, my voice firm with conviction.
“Thank you, man,” Donald said. “So, tell me more about her” I requested. Perhaps, if anything was going to wrong, I could possibly take hint from his narration. “She’s beautiful like I said,” he began, “and I got know her better today. She’s one of the Queen mothers vasal…” “The queen mother?” I interrupted without a second thought. That would be the first time I heard the Canthrastra having a Queen mother. “That was the same question I asked. She said the Queen mother is the current leader of the Canthrastras. She’s the Alpha Canthra but they call her ‘Queen mother’s or ‘canthra Minerva” 11.16 Thu, 21 Mar GG Chapter 101 “Hmmnn, I wasn’t expecting that. All I thought was some Alpha male as their leader. I didn’t expect a woman to head them.” “Same here. So, she’s the queen mother’s vassal who does anything she was ordered to do without complain, else she’ll be punished just like she was today.” “What the of punishment was meted out on her?” “She didn’t tell me that, exactly but she’s got this big scars that disfigures a females soft and tender body. Guy, she’s really one tough lady. Mere looking at her, one could tell that she’s a warrior of their kind.” “That’s crazy.” “Yeah, I know right.” “What do you intend doing if things go wrong? I mean…” “I don’t know.” He cut me short, scared of the next words that would escape my lips. “But I’m sure of one thing. I’ll try my best to protect her at all cost if I get the chance.” I understood him quite right and I decided to see it through. He’s decided not be a coward like I was, the only thing I could do was to give him my support while watching out for the pack as well. “I got your back. You know what? Invite her to my wedding.” “I can?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Of course. Just make sure she doesn’t reveal her identity. You know, other pack Alphas are going to be there.” “Got that. Thanks, Carl. And congratulations once again.” He pulled me into a tight hug and I slapped his shoulder. “That’s cringy,” I teased, slapping his shoulder playfully as I pulled away. “Mind you, you’ll help me with something.” “What’s that? I’m always at your service,” Donald replied. “I’ve sent out my wedding invites to every Alpha needed, and it just occurred to me that I missed Rex’s pack,” I explained, with furrowed brows. “You want me to send them one?” Donald asked, his expression eager to assist. ||| く 56 Chapter 101 “Yes, please,” I replied, relief flooding through me. “Consider it done,” Donald said with a nod and he turned to leave immediately. As he walked away, I heaved a sigh. Being an Alpha comes with so many pros and cons just like this. I could only hope things turn out well with the step Donald was taking. |||
