Alpha’s Second Chance Mate (Crystal and Theo) novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 

SIDONNIE’S POV 

“Hey, watch your steps. The woman hurried to my side, holding me up as I nearly fell from the bed which I laid. 

“Take it easy, you’re in safe hands.” She assured me, but I found it hard to let my guard loose for some reasons. 

“What am I doing here? I mean, how did I get here in the first place?” I questioned aggressively. 

“Take it easy, young lady. I’m so sure you don’t want to affect the baby.” 

Oh! That’s true! I’m pregnant. My hand slowly reached out to my belly, cupping it delicately. How could I forget that I had another life inside of me? So far so good, I thought I have been able to come to terms with my pregnancy, but…. 

“That doesn’t mean you’re a bad mother to your baby. It’s normal for all first timers.” The woman who sat close to me on a nearby chair flashed an assuring smile at me. But her smile only made me become wary of her the more. Who is she? I wasn’t speaking my thoughts out loud, but she responded to them like she was hearing be loud and clear. 

“Who are you exactly? How were you able to read my thoughts? Are you sure I’m safe like you said?” I tried using my wolf senses to figure out who she was but she basically had no smell. I couldn’t tell if she was human, a werewolf, a werecoyote, a witch, or some other type of supernatural being. 

“Of course, you are in safe hands. I don’t bite.” 

“That’s not the answer I’m expecting, ma’am!” I yelled at her. “Who are you exactly? Let’s start from there.” I was being defensive all over again. 

“Okay, fine. I’m Athena.” She answered simply, not bothering to utter any more word about her identity. 

“You surely know what I mean, right? Since you can read my thoughts, you should know what I want to know. You should know what I meant by ‘who are you?“. I can’t figure it out.” 

“I know you can’t, which is why you’re here.” 

“What do you mean?” My brows furrowed in confusion. 

“Young lady, I can’t tell you much right now. Perhaps as time goes on, you’ll get to know

me better. But trust me when I say you’re in the safest hands at the moment.” She spoke to me with so much serenity in her voice which I’ve ever heard. Her words calmed every raging nerves in my b*dy as I stared at her, sculpting every structure and. emotion on her face to memory. 

After taking a satisfactory look at her, I heaved a sigh, hoping I’m not trusting the wrong person. It’s not like I have another place to go after all. 

“So, with that said, where were you

going to?” The woman’s question jolted me out of 

“I…I…” I couldn’t find words to say. How was I going to tell her I ran away from home? 

“I think honesty is a key to getting things done.” 

“I left.” I was nervous, spitting out answers from my mouth. 

“I know that, already. But why?” 

“It’s a long story.” 

“I’m willing to listen. Only then can I know how to help you.” 

“I had to leave from an arranged marriage which my parents wanted for me so badly.” 

For a while, Athena was silent. 

“Okay, so you’re trying to stay with the baby’s father or what?” 

“It’s complicated, Athena.” 

“The person I’m to marry is the owner of the baby. He’s an Alpha, the Alpha of our pack.” 

“Wait, if I get you right, your baby daddy is your betrothed and he’s the Alpha of your pack?” 

“Yes, he is the same person involved in all situations of my life.” 

“If I were you, that’s the perfect option and opportunity for a young lady like you. Why did you run away?” 

“I never intended to leave, but he hates me so much. I can’t tell why that is exactly, but he does, even after knowing we’re mates.” 

“You’re mates?” Athena was surprise my revelation, and I nodded in affirmation to 

her answer. “Then, what happened?”
