CARLYLE’S POV
Leaving Donnie to head for her parent’s house, I rushed back to the pack territory. My phone buzzed with a message indicating issues with the preparations for Donnie and Mason’s stay. Concern etched across my face, I dialed one of the guards‘ number.
“Donnie and Mason’s arrival is imminent, and I can’t have any hitches in the preparations. What’s the issue? I inquired with urgency.
Donald’s voice crackled through the phone. “Alpha, it seems there was a mix–up in the supplies. We received fewer materials than expected, and the construction team is struggling to complete the additional structures in time.”
I sighed, realizing the stretch of the situation. “We can’t afford any delays. Figure out a solution. If you need more resources, get them. I want everything ready before they arrive there.” I ordered while putting some other things in place.
As soon as I was done, I headed straight for her parent’s house. Taking few steps closer, I could hear her father’s question and answer session with her. It was bound to happen after all but I didn’t want them to make things difficult for her.
I had
my faults in everything even if I wasn’t aware of her situation. I had pushed her away despite knowing the fated bond between us.
“Donnie made sacrifices for Mason’s well–being. We all have a chance now to build something new, together.” I uttered, showing my presence.
Xander glared at me but it wasn’t for long. He has to respect the fact that I was an Alpha. However, I really wanted him to speak up. I wanted him to act like he should towards someone who treated hus daughter badly. However, I couldn’t say it. After all, I was an Alpha.
We continued talking, while I continued glancing at Mason who was now present with us.
“Sidonnie Xander,” I suddenly uttered, gazing into her eyes, “will you grant me the honor of being mine?” I asked.
She looked at me for a moment as uncertainty danced in her eyes. In an instant, she responded. with a firm “No,” the word echoing in the room.
I withdrew my hand, feeling the weight of the rejection. The air became heavy with tension, and an awkward silence settled between everyone. Respecting her decision, I stepped back, allowing space. for the emotions to settle.
“Why did you say…?” I was about to ask but she interrupted me sharply.
“I’m not saying anything, Alpha Carlyle. I feel this is not the right time.” She replied firmly, shutting down any further discussion. I wanted her to be mine so fast for many reasons. I needed my other half by my side as we were fated to complement each other.
As the conversation unfolded, I couldn’t help but notice the mixture of emotions on Donnie’s face.
Sat, 2 Ma
Her father’s stern expression, her mother’s look of curiosity, and Mason’s innocent presence added layers to the complex situation.
“Donnie,” I interjected, directing my words to her, “we have to face the past, but we also have a chance to shape a new future. I’m here for both of you. Why don’t you want to be mine?”
Her father, Xander, shot me a disapproving look, but I maintained my composure, determined to prove that I was ready to take responsibility for my actions.
“Alpha Carlyle,” he finally spoke, “we appreciate your honesty. But you need to understand the pain she went through. It’s not easy to act like nothing happened. Moreover, she’s just settling down after years of being away.”
I nodded in acknowledgment, realizing that earning the trust and acceptance of Donnie’s family wouldn’t be a swift process.
“We’ll take it one step at a time,” I assured them, casting a reassuring glance at Donnie.
“It’s fine. You can take your time before giving me a response. But I want you to know that I really want you.” I confessed.
“With regards to that, I’ll be moving you to my mansion, the royal abode.”
“Why?” Xander asked first. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Considering the circumstances and the upcoming wecoming ceremony, it’s fitting for Donnie and Mason to stay in the royal abode. It provides them with the security and facilities needed during this transitional period, I explained, addressing Xander’s question.
Xander and his wife exchanged glances, still processing the new developments. The idea of moving to the royal abode, a symbol of authority within the pack, carried a weight of its own. I hoped this decision
would offer Donnie and Mason a sense of stability and a fresh start within Moon Shade.
“Your well–being is a priority, and it’s essential for the pack members to see us unified as a family,” I added. “Moreover, it’s an avenue for me to bond with Mason. I’ve missed out much on his life and I don’t want to miss any more on it.”
Donnie remained silent, her gaze shifting between me and her parents as the implications of this decision settled in. I respected her need for time and space, yet the unavoidable threads of our shared destiny continued to weave intricate patterns around us.
The atmosphere in the room became palpable as we delved into the discussion of the impending changes. Xander, with a firm expression, voiced his concerns and expectations.
“Alpha Carlyle, we appreciate your efforts to bring our daughter and grandson back into the fold. However, we need assurances that their transition will be seamless and that they will be treated with the utmost respect.”
“Xander, I understand the gravity of the situation. I give you my word that both Donnie and Mason will be accorded the respect they deserve. Our pack’s unity is paramount, and their well–being is a priority.”

“We want to be involved in their lives, especially in Mason’s upbringing. We missed out on so much, and we don’t want to repeat that mistake.” Donnie’s mother said.
“You have my assurance that you will have a place in their lives. Mason deserves to have a connection with his grandparents, and we’ll ensure that it happens.”
