Chapter 46
CARLYLE’S POV
As soon as the Meeting of Elders was completed and everyone came to a favourable conclusion, we all dispersed, preparing for what was to come in the days ahead and I headed for Rex’s pack to see Sidonnie.
Though, I made sure things with her was good and okay, including her boss at work. I paid him off more than he could ever imagine to treat her right without yelling at her while making sure that I’m anonymous. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
On my way, I saw Donnie heading for somewhere with a boy child who he’d her hand. tightly like someone seeking protection from his mum. The urge to call out to her filled. me but on another thought, I decided against it. It was better for me to know where she lived so I can protect her fully to prevent what happened in the woods of the Canth
Mountain.
Slowly, I followed behind her, quite a distance away till I received a call from Donald who let me know that he needed my attention. For a split moment. I wanted to ignore. him in order to have the privilege of knowing where Donnie lived but I decided against it after some thought.
I attended to my Beta, acknowledging his request, but my mind remained focused on the task at hand. As soon as I attended to him, I continued following Sidonnie at a distance but I lost her. The only thing I could use to get her location was her scent. Her scent still lingered in my senses since our last intimate encounter.
As she turned corners and weaved through the streets, I observed her scent, following in the same direction till I finally saw her ahead. However, the moment I saw her, she was bundled up by a group of masked men and thrown into a car.
At that moment, my reflex was set in motion as I began to shake terribly with anger. How dare they? Who are they? Who sent them? What’s their aim? I chased after the moving car discreetly till it finally stopped in a very dry and deserted place that I took my time to survey carefully.
I listened carefully as the activities went on and on with Rex’s bitch of a sister, threatening my mate.
“Don’t underestimate our bond, Raina. Love is not a weakness; it’s our strength.”
My heart fluttered with smiles when I heard Donnie say this. It made me feel so happy inwardly for different reasons.

“You had a way out of this, Raina. But it’s too late.” I heard Raina’s word sting the air like a venom. Collecting a bottle from her minions, I saw her hand gesturing towards Donnie after opening the bottle. Then, I knew it was high time I intervened.
I ordered Raina to stop but she was too shocked and angry that the bottle nearly slipped from her hand as she turned it upside down with it’s content, pouring out. Swiftly, I blocked the contents from reaching Donnie who was tied and couldn’t defend herself or move an inch, allowing it pour on my body gladly.
Doing this, I thought I had more chance at healing than Donnie because of my blood. characteristics but it turned out to be untrue. The feeling of pain numbed my senses as I tried my best not to scream in front of Donnic. I didn’t want her to blame herself for what happened.
The next moment I regained consciousness, I found myself in Donnie’s house. I was dormant and unmoving, but still active, but my wolf took over almost all my form already. Though, Laryl was weak too. However, he could hear everything they were saying.
Athena was briefed about what happened but she asked them to go get something to aid my cure be a use the wolfsbane that poured on me was a rare specie. No wonder I couldn’t heal on my own. Donnie didn’t waste her time in offering herself for the errand. Imagining her in the state I was shattered me into pieces and I vowed to punish Raina the way she deserved.
Soon, the cure was ready and I was being treated and I was responding.
Donnie’s tears fell like silent raindrops, each one showing the anguish she felt. The weight of her sorrow was so much, and I could sense the guilt that emanated from her every pore. In her eyes, I saw a reflection of a storm raging within, a storm she believed. she had ignited.
“Donnie, it’s not your fault,” I wanted to assure her, but my voice remained trapped. within my silent world.
Donnie’s voice trembled with emotion as she poured her heart out, the weight of guilt and love evident in every word.
“I can’t bear to see you like this, Carlyle. It’s tearing me apart. I promised not to cause you troubles, and now you’re suffering because of me.”
She gently caressed my hand, her touch seeking solace in the warmth that remained. “I’ll find a way to make this right, and I’ll exhaust every possibility until you’re well again.”

A tear traced a silent path down her cheek as she continued, her vulnerability laid bare. “You mean everything to me. I never want to lose you. I need you to fight, Carlyle. Wake up and fight with me If not for anything, for the sake of our pack.”
Her promises hung in the air, a solemn vow made to the universe. “I’ll dedicate every moment to finding a cure, to undoing the pain I caused. Just open your eyes, let me know you’re still here, still with me.”
Donnie’s actions mirrored her words, as she leaned in and pressed a tender kiss on my forehead. The scent of her, a familiar and comforting fragrance, lingered in the room..
“I won’t leave your side, not for a moment. We’ll face this together, and I’ll do whatever it takes to bring you back to me.” Her promises echoed in the room, a desperate plea to a silent audience. In my dormant state, I yearned to reach out, to comfort her, but my body remained unresponsive.
Her fingers intertwined with mine, a silent promise sealed in the gentle clasp. “You’re not alone in this, Carlyle. I’m here, and I’ll be here every step of the way.”
She blamed herself relentlessly, her whispers breaking my heart to see her in that state.
With each passing moment, Donnie’s words carved into my consciousness like etchings on stone. “I’ll do anything to make it right. I’ll find a way to heal you. Just please wake up. I need you, and I can’t bear to see you like this.”
Her vulnerability lay bare, exposed in the quiet room where only the beeping of monitors dared to interrupt the solemnity.
All was well after treatment until I suddenly began to feel wierdd for no reason till I drifted into another world of unconsciousness.
