A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

The fact that Darius called me his Angel left me rattled even after we left his home. I hated hearing that nickname as much as I’d missed hearing him call me that. It was more outrageous that he asked me to apologize to Dasiy over an offense I didn’t commit. I found it hard to swallow.

Once-Reina and I arrived at my mom’s place, I left them and went into my old bedroom to sleep since I couldn’t do that at night. Still, it was difficult to sleep. I couldn’t bring myself to close my eyes without hearing Darius’ voice in my head calling me his Angel. What was he doing to me? Why can’t I get over the thoughts of him? Why is it so difficult to not think of him. for a few minutes? I needed my beauty sleep but now, the man of my nightmares had imbibed my sweet dreams and turned it into no dreams at all.

Shit!

After tossing and turning for several minutes to no avail, I got up from the bed to join my mom and Reina as they built their princess castle. She wants it to look like Darius mansion but everytime they got it wrong, they had to start all over again. I think I wouldn’t be saying it enough that although Reina looked like Darius, she was a mirror of my mom; a perfectionist.

We left there by evening to join Haley and Charles for their movie night. Charles had picked us up at my mom’s place because he believed we wouldn’t find the doctors’ quarters that easily and boy, was he right?

“Welcome to my home,” Haley threw her arm around my neck as soon as we stepped on her front porch. It was almost as if she was waiting for us by the door to get there.

“Thank you for having us.” She waved me off and focused her attention on Reina.

“Hello little Reina,” She bent down to Reina’s level so she could talk to her. “Nice to meet y for a handshake and Reina took it with a smile!

“Hello,” She replied in her tiny, cute voice.

you,” She stretched out her hand

“Aww, she’s so cute,” Haley gushed. ”

“I’m Haley, and you have such a beautiful name, Reina,”

“Thank you,” Reina looked up at me and I gave her an assuring smile.

I’m so sure she was loving it in the pack and that was the only reason why I hadn’t regretted my decision of stayin The smile plastered on her lips hadn’t left since we were forced back here. The light in her eyes was shining bright brighter each day and 1 loved seeing her happy.

“Can we come in?” Charles groaned impatiently. He was a big guy and acting that way seemed kind of cute. He was than he looked though.

“Yes, Mister,” Reina took Haley’s offered hand and we all walked into her apartment. It was a small, beautiful space. It wa close to the type of house I’d always wanted to have. I felt so happy for her and jealous at the same time. Somebody I mi be able to own a house like this and design it the way I want.

“You have a lovely place,” I complimented.

Thank you but you should see Charles’ space. It’s unbelievably perfect. He designed this place by himself anyway.” That was almost unbelievable. A big guy with a soft heart.

We gave her the popcorn we made at my mom’s place earlier and she happily collected it and added it to the boxes of popcorn waiting for us at the table,

*Really, I would love to see it, I turned to Charles and proposed. He shrugged his shoulder, meaning he didn’t see anything special about the place. Despite Darius’ warning ringing at the back of my head, I was still ready to risk it all.

“Nothing’s special about it,” He mumbled but I could still hear hon.

“So humble,” I commented and Haley laughed. He and Reina go into a conversation that I don’t think I can make sense of at all and I loved how they connected.

Charles and I were close in junior and senior high school. We were practically best of friends and he was the number one person I could share my fears, interests, and worries without fear of being judged. When he said I wasn’t alone the other day, I knew he meant it. I was a shitty friend for leaving him after I met Darius and I regretted it. If I hadn’t, I would’ve been able to run to him after everything went haywire after that son of a gun left me

“What movie are we seeing?”

“Little Mermaid,” Haley piqued and Reina screamed with excitement. It was one of her favorite movies. No matter how many times we see that movie, Reina is never tired of watching it

Halle put the movie on and we all settled in to watch it. Haley already prepared a fancy, pink little chair for Halle while the three of us settled on a couch. I was sitting between Haley and Charles.

“What’s up between you and Darius?” A few minutes into the movie, Halle suddenly popped out that question.

“What do you think?” I asked her with a mischievous smile.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“You both are sitting on a tree, K.IS.S.LNG,”

I laughed before shaking my head. She was probably being careful with her words because of Reina.

“Nothing of such is going on between us. I’m just trying to stop myself from killing him,” I spoke quietly. Haley and I shared a laugh but it was for a few seconds.

“You should do that, Charles suddenly added. Our eyes met and I could read through his eyes that he was actually serious.

“What? Are you advising her to get rid of Darius Darkwood? Are we seriously about to plot his death?”

“What?” I also asked in disbelief. It was a joke, they didn’t have to take it seriously but if he dropped dead, I swear I wouldn’t shed a tear.

“She hates him and he practically forced her to stay back in the pack,”

“He didn’t really force me to stay back. He gave me an option and I can’t live without my child,” I mentioned.

“You’re defending him,” Haley called me out.

“No, I’m not,”

At that moment, Reina looked back at us with a stink eye, telling us to stop whispering and we did.

“She’s feisty like her mom,” Charles commented and I blushed like

e an idiot.

“Thank God she’s like her mom and not her dad. The world doesn’t need another Darius Darkwood,” Haley added.

I frowned. I have heard of Darius being evil and terrible but to be sincere, I haven’t seen him do anything terrible since I came back. He’s been different from everything I’ve been told.

The movie soon ended and we had to leave. Charles dropped us off at the mansion out of the generosity of his heart. Reinal slept off on the car ride back home. Fortunately enough for me, Darius wasn’t in when I entered. Without any trouble, I tucked her into bed and began walking to my room all exhausted.

“I’m shocked you could walk back in here after spending time with a different man.”

“Excuse me?” I turned to see Darius waiting for me in the middle of my room.

“I warned you did I not?” He walked towards me. I could see the fire wrapped around an unquenchable anger and thirst in his eyes, I was afraid for a minute but I couldn’t let it show,

“Back off, Darius,” I tried pushing him off but he didn’t budge.

“It’s such a shame that Charles would have to pay for the sins of your disobedience,”

He threatened. He had a s*distic smirk on his lips.

“What the f*ck are you talking about?”

A hand grabbed me and I suddenly found myself on my bed. His hand wrapped around my neck and before I knew it, he tied me up by hands and legs to the bed.

“I told you, Nibbles. I would f*ck up anyone who dared look your way. Now, stay there like the good girl that you are while I announce Charles’s execution.”

I struggled to get free but I couldn’t. “You would do no such thing. Darius,”

“You looked for trouble and you found me. Deal with the consequences, baby”

And he tapped my mouth.
