Alphas Second Chance Mate Sidonie Carlyle

Chapter 83

Andrea

The light was blinding as | cracked open my eyes. | couldn’t recognize where | was. Where was this?

“Aurora?”

That voice. It belonged to my one true love. The only one | would love in my entire lif

My heart.

My mate.

“Dmitri...

It was solely his voice that madepush further to reality. There was a slight pain in my back, but | did care as |

blinked and forced my heavy eyelids open.

The ceiling looked unfamiliar to me. My throat felt dry and itchy and my mouth even more so my to sand paper

and aches resounded throughout the entirety of my body.

Still I turned my neck, even if | couldn't move the rest of my body towards the direction | heard his voice from.

Then, in his full glory | saw him.

His flopped against his head and his hands were wrapped around my own -That’s why | couldn't move my arm, |

thought at the back of my mind. His gaze was bleary yet filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe | was here.

| blinked. My mind felt like a maze and a foggy one at that. | couldn’t understand how I'd gotten. here or why he

looked so injured.

“My Love, are you alright?” He asked. my brows furrowed further at the sound of his voice, so shaky and

uncoordinated. Dmitri was never like that. He held things in but there were only a few times that | saw him in

this state.

What happened? Why couldn’t | move and why was he-

Oh.

“Oh* if | wasn't lying on the bed | wouldn't have fallen from the sheer force of the memories hitting me. It should

have been easier considering that no stranger to regaining memories, but it hitlike a sucker punch all the

same.

| remembered everything. The battle. The rogue King. All the attacks and dodging. Dimitri standing triumphant.

We won.

And then... Ramona.

| swallowed thickly. It wasn’t my intention to kill her, but she leftno choice. Not anymore. She had already

gone far off the deep end and even if she was captured, | doubted she would be reformed.

But that all stood secondary to the fact that | almost died.

| remembered it exactly. How my body grew weak and you felt my life slipping out of my fingers. Dmitri called

out my name.

And then nothing.

| tried to duo up but was only pushed back down.

“Don’t you dare try to get up.” He growled, sending my lungs on a cardiac dance..

He seemed to calm down after, his body relaxing -But | soon noticed him wincing and trying to hide it as he

spoke once again

“You were stabbed in Your back. If you move it may aggravate the injury.” This this twas much gentler. It

didn’t matter tothough. Once | remembered everything and had cto terms with it, all | had were

questions.

“Wha- what a” | coughed slightly and my throat still remained as scratchy as sandpaper.

Suddenly there was movement at the corner of my eyes before a cold glass in water was brought to my vision

along with a glass straw.

“Drink.” He said. | wasted no tin doing so, savouring the taste of the pure cool and sweet water that

nourished my throat.

As he took it away, my voice, mouth and the rest of my body felt much better.

“What happened to the others? Duncan and the rest?” | croaked out, looking at him to spy his

reaction.

He gave a little smile and that was the assurance | needed.

“They're okay,” he said, shaking his head “I told Damien to deal with returning and the rest of the rogues. no

doubt Michelle must be waiting for him.”

It was a piss poor attempt at a joke, but | laughed nonetheless.

“She isn’t the type to stay in one place for several days.” | said, mustering a small smile of “No doubt she’ll hold

this over him to feel guilty for.”

U OWN my

It was supposed to be lighthearted, yet suddenly it was like all the air got sucked out of the room. | looked at

Dmitri and | could see where his mind was going immediately.

“Dmitri-"

*You almost died” he cutoff/looking devastated for all the would to see. | felt my heart pang and ache at the

sight.

| shook my head fervently because it wasn't like that. Surely he had to know.

“I'm alive and safe and here.” | said to assure him.

“Even if | don’t know where exactly it is. | noted, spying the unfamiliar surroundings. None of that mattered now.

| needed to comfort my mate.

“It was an unexpected attack. None of us could have seen it coming.” | said, biting my lip.

Rowena it seemed was a snake till the end. Stabbingin the back was a low blow and according to what

Dmitri toldone a long tago, a sign of cowardice. | shouldn't have been surprised given who she followed

till the end..

But there was no longer any need to think about all of that. The Rogue King was gone and so was she. All the

rogues were captured and now.

“Now, we could be free. The thought put a smile on my face.

As | looked at Dmitri, we still saw the guilt plaguing him. | reached out and held his hand tightly.

“We can’t focus on the past. But look at the present Dmitri.” | smiled and | hoped that my joy and. relief was

shared through the mate bond.

As he stared at her it was like the cloudiness of sadness in his eyes soon cleared. He blinked several times before

nodding.

“You're right” he said

“I'm always right Alpha King.” | teased lightly, watching his face crack up into a small smile.

There it was. The man | was looking for

Shortly after he explained everything that had gone on and how we got here. Horror and fear filled.as he

toldhe ran for miles to reach this place. The last | saw of him he was still injured. And yel...

| knew he could see the complaint laying on my lips as he spoke.

“If I hadn't, you would have died and | wouldn't be able to live with myself.”

His words were heartfelt and monotonous, but sincere. | swallowed thickly at the thought of leaving him.

Surprise filledas he toldwhose pack it was and | smiled to myself as he recounted everything that went

in as he woke up shortly before I did

Looking him over and seeing the bandages, | knew he needed to rest. | just needed to ask one more question.

“How long are we staying here?” | asked. Between his multiple injuries and the stab wound I received along with

bruises, | had a feeling it would take a while.

He hummed, a contemplative look on his face before he spoke.

“Well Be fully recovered in a week or so.” He finally replied.

| held back the urge to groan. A week? | wanted to go hquickly.

Still he held my hand and squeezed it lightly, makingdraw all my focus to him

“Let’s count this as a little vacation. Or a mini honeymoon of sorts.” He winked, the playful side | hadn't seen

since the ambush had returned.

| bursted | to small chuckles, ignoring the loud and sharp pains in my back as | smiled at him.

“I just made friends with her. | don’t think she’ll let us crash in her and her mate's pack for that long. | quipped,

saiding an eyebrow.

Still playful look in his eyes danced.

“Oh. | think we'd cto skind of agreement. We're friends after all.”

It took us five days to fully recover. To my surprise the stab wound didn’t bring any scars, although Luna didn’t

expect it. Dmitri on the other hand, wasn’t fully recovered, but his body had stopped aching enough to move.

Tommy's surprise and gratefulness, Luna had given us transportation back to Garrett's pack and now we add to

wish them goodbye.

The big burly Alpha embracedbefore we left, givinga kiss on the forehead. Whilst she huggedtightly-

Dmitri glared and complained that she was going to undo the healing but | only laughed.

It took hours upon hours to finally reach our destination, spanning AA day and a half considering the long

distance between us, but even though the pack weren't the ones | wanted to see, | was relieved all the same.

| stepped out into the pack house only to meet Michelle's tight embrace.

“Damien toldeverything. You're alright aren’t you? Tellyou're alright.” She sniffed. uncontrollably,

looking atwith roving eyes.

Tears burned. My eyes as well as seeing her are completely fine. Uncaring of everyone else around. us, | shut my

eyes tightly and hugged her.

As we separated smiling, | turned to see Duncan doing the sto dmitri. We made eye contact and laughed in

a low tone.

It was relieving. We were all safe and sound.

“I'm glad you two have arrived Alpha Dmitri and Luna Andrea.”

The happiness dimmed as Garrett cinto view. He looked nastier than normal which considering his average

face was not a good sign.

“I'm sure you fared well. Considering how you left my pack in your care.” He shrugged,

“Yes.” Dmitri answered and | could tell he was gritting his teeth and trying to not punch him in the

face.

It was official. Alpha Garrett was petty.

-Would you all be going soon? | would like to handle my pack affairs now.” He asked nonchalantly.

His words madesee red Didn't he understand the impact of what we’d done? Wasn't he privy to the

destruction they had caused? Yet he had the audacity to act like he was entitled.

| heard Michelle’s low growling desire me. She looked like she was ready to pounce in the man and give him hell.

More than that, she looked like she had been waiting for this moment for ages.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

‘What happened between her and Alpha Garrett’ | couldn't help but wonder, looking at her

reaction.

Suddenly a voice spoke up, one | wasn't prepared to hear.

“You can deal with your pack affairs by yourself.”

My eyes widened as Hayden cinto view. The sbeta we had rescued. He was thinner than when I'd last

seen him, but overall looked healthier. More than that, | saw a fire in his eyes I'd never seen before.

Just what on earth had happened while we were gone?”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Garrett sputtered

To my surprise Hayden didn’t bat an eye or cower like he did before.

“Tell them Garrett. You don’t work and you never have. Every single responsibility you had wast foisted into me

to deal with. All you did was lounge and focus on using the pack resources to help. yourself.”

Gasps filled the air and | watched Hayden sneer.

“I can’t believe | once feared you. You disgusting excuse of a man.” he said.

Before | could blink he wakes towards us, facing Dmitri,

“I know this is sudden, but | request to join your pack as the pack Beta.”

My heart got caught in my throat. | looked to Dmitri to see the sconfusion on his face, yet when | turned to

Michelle and Damien, there was only approval.

Just what the hell happened!”

How could so many things have changed within the span of one week.

| turned back to Dmitri. There was a reason that spot hadn’t been filled since. It was the sole reminder of Dean. It

was my brother's position. Even if Dean was gone, could he accept putting another person in that place?

The silence grew before he spoke.

“I'll...consider it.” Dmitri sajd and from afar | could see him clench his jaw.

“But you are welcto be part of our pack.”

Suddenly there was an uproar around it. Anxiety in my belly. | didn’t know what would happen.

next.

Then out of nowhere the woman Garrett had once rejectedfor stepped out, pregnant belly in

full.

“I would also like to leave this pack and join Alpha Dmitri.”

Suddenly others joined, and | could only watch in shock and a sick feeling of awe.

As we left, it was with tens more people that we cwith. | looked out at the disappearing pack, left behind

with only a few including Layla, Duncan and Edward, who | wasn’t sure knew what had transpired.

Saying goodbye to the pack for the last time, | couldn't help but smile. Leaving was the beginning of everything.

| leaned onto Dmitri and thought back to that day.

In the end, what | thought was the worst day of my life turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Michelle and | had

both found our true mates who could love us for us. | regained my memory and lost heritage and we had gotten

rid of evil.

What more was there to ask for?

There were so many things to sort out now. Mating ceremony and dealing with the new people that have decided

to make the place their hole, but that was left for the future.

Now, | held the hand of my beloved Alpha King as we made our way back to our home.

Together.
