A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Angela’s POV 

“Don’t do anything stupid,” I asked him. I was still holding on to him as if he was dear life. We were standing outside the house. oblivious to what was happening around us. I didn’t know what made me trust him enough to open up to him like that. Maybe it was because he opened up to me too. 

I felt a bit better knowing he didn’t throw me out of the Alpha’s mansion for another woman. 

“You too good to be true,” 

I removed my head from his chest and stared at him. “What?” 

“You’re trying to protect the person who hurt you,” 

I shook my head. “I just hate violence,” I answered. 

He hummed, his chest rumbling against the skin of my cheek and my lips wobbled. “There’s no need to go back to the past again. I managed to leave that life behind. I’ll hate myself more if I start talking about him,” I told him. 

“One thing I’ve learned in my years on earth is this.” he ran his fingers through my hair and I looked at him. “Revenge makes you feel better, 

I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. I was expecting something better or more encouraging but instead, it was the usual Darius Darkwood’s barbaric lifestyle. 

“An eye for an eye makes all blind,” 

“An eye for an eye makes everyone damn careful with their own eyes. That way, they won’t go around poking others‘, knowing they’ll lose theirs too,” 

I groaned. It was useless trying to make Darius see reason. I tried prying myself off him but he held me closer. 

“I wouldn’t push it anymore if you won’t give me his information but know this, My Angel, the day I find him, will be his last day on earth. I promise you that,” 

He gently pecked the soft, tender skin of my upturned palm. 

I knew he was dead serious about that threat and I couldn’t help but feel scared. Not for me though but for somebody else. 

“Mason left this morning.” I chipped in, trying to change the subject. 

“I know he did. I saw him off this morning with joy in my heart because I was so close to killing him,” 

I laughed. 

We finally separated and walked into the house together. He made me settle down in the house and asked if I needed anything because he had to go back to the office. 

Before he could walk out of the house, I stopped him. 

“You said you had to leave me five years ago to keep me safe. Does this have to do with your father?” 

He raised an eyebrow. “My father?” 

I contemplated telling him about what I saw for a minute. What if I wasn’t supposed to see the old Alpha? 

He placed a finger under my chin and made me look at him. 

“Talk to me,” 

I took a deep breath, “I saw your father in the dungeons, Darius. He’s supposed to be dead,” 

Something shifted in the air as soon as those words left my mouth. He looked away from me and also began walking away without giving me an answer. 

“How did you you were not supposed to see that. What were you doing in the dungeons?” 

He asked. His question left me confused and I felt as though I was in a puzzle. 

“After you found out I was leaving with Charles, you asked your warriors to take me to the dungeons. Didn’t you?” 

He shook his head. “I would never do such a thing. I don’t remember giving out that instruction. I’ll ask Azalea about it,” 

It was obvious that he was avoiding answering the question and I didn’t want to push further. 

“You can’t talk about what you saw with somebody else. In due time, I’ll explain,” 

“You have a lot of explanation to do,” I told him. 

He smiled. A real smile this time, not his signature fake smirk. The same smile I fell in love with five years ago even before I found out he was my male. 

I walked closer to him and stared at him for a few seconds before standing on my toes. I wanted to kiss him but I wanted him to kiss me back. I pulled at his shirt. That sent the message across because he snaked his hand across my shoulder and cupped my neck. He brought his face closer to mine and just as his lips hovered mine, his phone vibrated. 

It was emanating a red light that signaled danger or emergency. 

He stared at the wall, communicating through the mind link.. 

“What happened?” I whispered, 

“One of our warehouses is on fire,” 

“What!” I gasped. “You should go.” 

After he promised to come back soon, he walked out of the door. Although I didn’t say anything about following him before he left. I did. 

“You should go back, it might be too dangerous,” 

Once he r 

realized I was behind him, he stopped and walked up to me. 

“I’ll stay far away from the fire,” I promised 

It was also just a stone’s throw from Reina’s school. I made a mental note to pick her up from school once I left the warehouse. 

On getting to the building, I saw that a little crowd had gathered and it was one of the biggest food warehouses that burnt to the ground. 

“What happened?” Darius asked. The man who was in charge walked up to Darius and bowed. 

“I’m sorry, Alpha Darius. We tried our possible best but we couldn’t stop the fire,” 

“Are there any casualties?” He asked, 

“No, Alpha, Everybody is fine,” 

“Thank Goodness,” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“How did it start?” 

“I can’t find an explanation to give you now but I suspect someone started it,” 

What!. 

“Someone?” I didn’t know when I asked that 

“Yes, I found this right here,” 

He pointed to the small podium that was outside the warehouse and brought out a small envelope. Darius collected it from the man. Immediately, he frowned and clenched his fist. 

Out of curiosity, I moved closer to him and took a look at the note. 

##You’re not our alpha. The fire is just the beginning. Step down, or you’ll face the same fate- The Resistance##
