A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

ANGELA

The elders allowed me to leave without any punishment. Lucky me, right? No! That was no luck, that had Darius Darkwood written all over it. I wasn’t lucky to have walked out alive or without being thrown into jail. I walked out because I made a bargain with a f*cking devil who seemed to have loved the bargain more than his life. He told me to wait behind after I was dismissed but I didn’t wait. I walked out before he could hold me back or call my name.

I called my mom on the way back to ask about Reina. She told me Reina was on a playdate with some of her friends and would pick her up later in the evening. Hearing about Reina having friends was a proud mummy moment for me. I forgot about all the troubles I had during the day. I sure didn’t make the wrong decision by deciding to stay back in the pack. I branched at the playdate to check on her for some minutes before going home.

“So, what was the punishment you were given? Will I get to claw your eyes out or slash your heart open?” Daisy asked as 1 walked into Darius’ mansion.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her. The innocent Dasiy was at it again. I bet Darius would have a field day if he heard her speaking like this. Talk about her being innocent and bu*lshit.

“What do you want Daisy?” I groaned.

“I want to hear it from you. You messed with me and you’re getting punished for it,” She argued.

“How did I mess with you? By not telling you about Reina’s whereabouts,”

This morning after I dropped Reina off at her school, I had a short, private conversation with her teacher. I asked her not to let anyone other than my mom and I pick Reina up from school If I want someone else to do that, I’ll call her and let her know. She agreed.

“I don’t need to say it again when you already said it yourself, Angela,”

What does she want from my child? “Stay

“Reina is my daughter,” I reminded her. What was her obsession with my

h my kid? Wh away from her” I warned.

“I’m sure you would be saying the same thing when I take custody of her after you’re sent to the hospital from the scars I’ll give you,”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Maybe you should call your brother or Darius for the news. It’s good news for me and unfortunately, it’s bad news for you

Her demeanor changed. I could see her stance becoming stiff as she took in my words. It might’ve come as a surprise for her but for me, I was more concerned about how confident she was in the fact that I would be punished.

“I wasn’t given any punishment. I didn’t do it and you know that and of course, I have backup,” I waved the drive in front of

her face.

She snickered, mocking me to my face. “What do you mean by you have a backup? It’s empty, isn’t it, you can’t even use that as evidence,”

My mouth dropped open, I could feel the color draining from my face. How did she even know about the nanny cam not to talk of the flash drive?

“What are you talking about?”

She scoffed, laughing through her teeth. “Nothing is hidden about you in this house, Angela. I have ears everywhere, know that next time before you try messing with me. Listen, this isn’t over. I’ll make sure you get punished for making me hurt myself,”

“Why do you hate me

She folded her arms against her stomach and scrutinized me. “Because you think you can waltz into this pack, and take everything I’d worked for,”

“What do you mean?”

“Stay away from Darius. I’m sure he wanted to make you make a fool out of yourself by letting you use that flash drive despite knowing it was empty. It must have been a good show for him. I’m sad I missed that,”

Right before I could find my words and say, Jack Robinson, she was out of my sight. I stood dumbfounded for what appeared to be an hour but just a few minutes. I didn’t quite understand most of her words, but it became clearer that either she or Darius got rid of my videos. The possibility of them working together sounded crazy but the best thing I could think of right then.

1 barged into Darius’ home office without working. He had already changed his outfit into a white round-neck t-shirt, a pants trouser. I thought he looked good in black but he looked better in white. He was standing beside his desk, holding a document. How the hell do I always end up forgetting the reasons why I’m in his presence anytime I lay my eyes on him these days? I have to keep reminding myself as if it was a mantra

You hate him! You hate him! You hate him!

“You should take a picture, Nibbles, it’ll last longer,”

I realized I’d been caught ogling him and that didn’t look good on my reputation. I needed to act like I wasn’t interested like I hated him. It was easier at first but now, it’s difficult to hate him like I wanted.

Why? What changed?

“F*ck you, Darius,” I spat.

He suddenly frowned. I could feel the lines above his eyebrow shrinking together. He dropped the document loudly on the table and marched towards me.

“What did I do this time?” The way the words rolled out of his mouth didn’t match his expression. He was angry, I know the but his words came so gently I could feel it caressing my soul. Was Darius controlling himself? Was he stopping himself from getting mad at me?

“You messed with my flash drive,” I shoved it in his face.

He took a deep breath and collected the drive from my hand. His finger brushed mine and I sucked in my next breath.

“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t?” He asked.

I scoffed. Believe him at my own peril. “No, I don’t,”

He was silent for a few minutes. “Now, I understand how you felt when I didn’t believe you,” He said.

His words affected me differently this time. A large part of me yearned to believe him but since he was gaining the most from the empty drive, I find it hard to believe him.

His finger landed on my chin and caressed my lips. It was a simple act yet it sent butterflies fluttering through my stomach. I mistakenly let out a silent moan. Suddenly, his hand grabbed me by my butt as he lifted me, I threw my hands around his neck and threw caution into the air. He gently placed me on his desk and attacked my neck.

I picked up the document I almost sat on and gave a look at it. Before I could read what was written on it, Darius slipped it out of my finger.

“This is more important than my life,”

He slowly bit down on his favorite spot while I became a wreck in his hands. He lifted the skirt I was wearing and his finger found its way into my panties.

“You’re f*cking wet and like I promised, I would want a taste, His hot breath against my neck wasn’t helping. It was in fact teasing me, releasing the control I’d held on to.

As his finger flickered around my clitoris, my phone vibrated and I also did.

I lifted the phone to my face and through the blurry vision, I could see who it was but I didn’t want to say since I was with Darius. A hand suddenly grabbed mine. He turned the phone to his face and I watched as his eyes turned pitch black once. he saw the caller.

It was Charles.
