A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

ANGELA

For the next twelve hours, all I could think about was leaving. For the safety of mine and Reina’s, I had to leave the pack. Charles had assured me that he would help us leave the pack since he was the Beta and no one, except for Darius, would dare question him for allowing a pack member to leave. The plan was to avoid Darius for the rest of the day. That was easy because he didn’t show up at all.

After I picked Reina from school, I didn’t bring her back to the mansion or even entertain a word from her. I took her to mom’s place and promised to be back for her. If I’m able to leave Darius’ mansion tonight, the only problem I would be having will be with my mother. I’ll have to explain to her that I need to leave. I shouldn’t wait until someone finds us and

kills us.

1 zipped up the bag of clothes on my bed and took a deep breath as my eyes lingered around the room. I ran my finger through my hair, held a chunk, and pulled, hoping it’d help me make up my mind once and for all. All through the afternoon, I had a second thought. Maybe I was being irrational about this. Maybe I should just have faith in my decision and stay. But, it’ll kill me if anything happened to Reina while I did.

I picked up the heavy bag from the bed and left the room. It was almost ten at night. The hallways were empty, a sign that almost everyone was in their beds. That was a good sign after all. All that was left was to pack Reina’s clothes and leave. I couldn’t do that during the day. If someone saw me, I’m pretty sure they would’ve alerted Darius and that would have gone bad.

One of the small travel bags that belonged to Reina was quickly filled with her clothes. I took just one shoe and stuffed it into the bag. That was when it dawned on me that I was about to start my life from scratch from wherever I ran to. I still have idea where to go but since Charles said he has a place, I should trust his judgment.

I picked both bags ready to leave, not knowing the devil was just behind me.

“ANGELA,”

A thick, husky voice that belonged to Darius Darkwood echoed from behind me. Out of shock, both bags dropped from my hands as I turned to face him. He came out of Reina’s bathroom. I was scared for my life when our eyes met and the look of his face was reflected by the light hovering below the ceiling.

“Darius, hi,”

“What are you doing?” He asked, pointing at the bags that had fallen to the carpet.

I took a deep breath. I’m pretty sure he had no idea what was going on. Maybe the blackness clouding his eyes was beca he was mad at something that happened before now.

“Laundry,” I replied with a forced smile.

He growled. “Where?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“At my mom’s” I quickly answered. As I bent to pick up the bags, hoping he believed what I’d said, a loud, deafening sound erupted from the room.

Cold sweat broke out of my head as I watched Reina’s table broken into pieces against the wall, one of its legs was in Darius hand.

“Laundry with Charles, I guess,” He breathed out forcefully as if something was stuck at the back of his throat and he had to force a word out.

I swallowed hard. “What are you talking about, Darius?” I asked.

He began stalking me. “For a minute, for a f*cking second, I wished that I was wrong. I waited for you to hesitate while packing that stu*id bag for Reina for a f*cking second but the more I waited, the more I realized that I was wrong. You’ve already made up your mind to leave after destroying everything I’d worked hard to build.”

I blinked, taking in his words. True, I wanted to leave but that was for a reason and his last statement was not something I could comprehend

Shaking my head frantically, I whispered. “I don’t understand you, Darius,”

“Stop f*cking acting innocent. I can see through all that now.” He demanded.

I was silent. I didn’t know what to say: “The fact that you had the confidence to think you can take Reina away from me together with your lover is what will get you both killed,”

My life flashed in front of my eyes. “Lover? I’m not pla…”

The disgusting look he gave me made me swallow my words and try to understand why he was like that.

“You and Charles for a minute believed you could make a st*pid plan without me knowing. How long have you guys been planning this?”

Just today! wanted to say but I couldn’t find the words. He grabbed me by the shoulder and asked again. Angela

How long.

My eyes unconsciously went down to his arms and I saw his claws protruding. He was transforming right there in front of my eyes. I’d never seen anything like this before. A man and a beast together in a form. It was scary yet profunding. It was a discovery for me. Darius was a Lycan. That made it clear to me that other Alphas weren’t afraid of him because he was evil, they were afraid because they didn’t have a choice.

1 shook my head. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Charles told me…”

“No matter what he had told you, you shouldn’t have betrayed me like this, Angela. I know that I did some shitty stuff to you and I regret everything I did. I paid for it with blood and I will always find a way to ask for your forgiveness but this, this was out of line. It was out of place even for someone like you.”

“I don’t know…”

He hadn’t allowed me to finish even one statement and it was frustrating. I wanted to explain everything so he could e everything as well but that wasn’t possible.

“SHUT UP!” He yelled and I was taken aback.

I jumped and I quickly covered my mouth with my palm to stop myself from screaming too but from fear.

“Stop f*cking acting as if you’re clueless about what you and Charles did. You both agreed on running away with my daughter and to sell out the secret document to the Alpha of the Mindless. You planned on selling me out.”

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open. What was going on? Was I in an alternative universe? Am I in the wrong body? Because everything seemed so dark and unbelievable. Nothing made sense to him. What secret document) was he talking about?

“No. No, No, I began chanting

He placed a finger on my lip “Don’t try denying it. Only you knew where I kept that tile. You were the only person in my office the day I opened my tile Finally, you have two bags packed already.” The only document my bram could picture was the one I saw with him the day I went into his office

“Let me explam. Darius, please,”

MM.

He raised a hand. “I don’t want to hear anything from you anymore. Charles has been arrested, you will too,” My hand. dropped from his shirt.

“GUARDS!” He yelled.

His warriors rushed into the room. “Take her away,”

“Darius, please.”

He turned his back towards me.
