As soon as those words came out of Charles’ mouth, spite and anger came with them. I could see the fire in his could care less. My anger was far worse than his. When I took over this pack, I totally forgot about the barbaric acts and rules that my father and my father’s father had made and judiciously followed as laid down by their ancestors. The more I remembered I could’ve prevented this, the angrier I got,

I folded my arms on my stomach as I took a good look at Daisy again. Would I be breaking her heart by asking her if she was lying? Would it break her trust in me if I called her out as a liar?

“She deserves it.” Daisy added, earning a hard glare from Charles.

“You should go to your room, Daisy,” He warned.

She looked at me and I looked away. I wasn’t about to get involved in their family affairs. It wasn’t my business. I should be more involved in my family affairs. Angela could be in danger.

“Allow me to talk to the elders,”

Charles snickered. “And what? Do you think they’ll listen to you? You took over this pack without a simple regard for any of them and you stand there believing they would listen to you,”

the

The elders were a group of five older men who were also in charge of the pack. They mostly acted as guardians or advisors

Alpha since they were much older and believed to have more knowledge. A belief I honestly do not share. Most of the time, they can make the call regarding any situation in the pack. When I took over, I expected them to question me or call for my disposal, but I was surprised they kept silent for so long. guess my reputation precedes me.

“I have my way of TALKING to people and make them listen to what I have to say. I’m sure this time wouldn’t be different,”

“They already know you’re not the rightful heir to the Alpha position of this town,”

I was controlling the storm that was brewing inside of me. His words aggravated me but not as much as the news.

“I believe you told them this information, didn’t you?”

He stared me down before replying. The custodian of your father’s will is one of them. He told me after he told them. It’s a matter of time before they revolt and throw you out,”

“And what? Make you the Alpha? I bet that’ll make you happy.”

He became silent. He didn’t say anything to what I had just said or otherwise. It was really in his best interest to shut the f*ck up. I have this urgent urge to smash his head against the wall.

“Now, do me a little favor by finding me the nightingale who sang about what happened in my house to the elders,”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to refuse your orders, Alpha. My loyalty is to the pack, not you. Implicating one of them is implicating all of them,

I stared at him. “Your loyalty to me is far greater. Don’t let me call for your head before the elders call for mine. It’ll be two painful deaths that could’ve been averted. Find me the f*cker or I’ll make someone else do it and make you pay in turn,”

I walked away from the scene, leaving him and Azalea in the kitchen while I go look for Angela. The thought of seeing her again excited me but the thought of her getting punished eludes me. If only she could trust me this once and tell me what actually happened. Whatever had happened, she wasn’t getting punished.

I knocked on her door twice and got no response.

“F*ck it” I threw caution in the air when I kicked her door open. I’d tried opening it like every other gentleman but it was locked and my patience was the thinniest I’d ever known my entire life.

As I marched into the room, I could see her standing a few feet away from the bathroom door. She had a towel wrapped around her waist while water dripped from her hair. She was holding another towel. Her lips were slightly parted, and her eyes widened as she threw her hands to her chest.

“Why would you do that?” She yelled, pointing to the broken door. I could get that fixed easily and I wished it would be that easier to fix the problem on the ground.

“You weren’t answering the door,” I answered, eating her up with her eyes. She was so beautiful.

“Yes, because I was in the SHOWER,”

“I’m not that patient baby,”

She rolled her eyes and looked away from me. “Can you excuse me now, I need to get dressed,”

“We need to discuss something important,”

“Get out,” She yelled. “You need to leave,”

“We need to talk about what happened yesterday between you and Daisy,”

“I have nothing to say,” She insisted, holding onto the edge of her towel.

“You have to,” I insisted.

“Why should I? it’s not like you’ll believe me anyway.”

I couldn’t look away from her. I’d always thought Nibbles wouldn’t give two cents about what I think but now, it’s becoming clear to me that she actually cares about what I think of her.

“I believe you,”

“Even when Daisy is involved,” She suddenly asked me.

I gently placed my hands on her shoulder and pulled her close to me. “Daisy was my late wife’s g*ddaughter and before sh died, she begged me to take good care of her. She’s important to me, Angela,”

“Good for you both then, maybe you should believe in her words and leave my side of the story out of it,” She threw my hands off her shoulder and walked back into the bathroom.

I was fast enough to catch up to her before she could lock the door.

“Nibbles, listen to me…”

Η

“You don’t have anything to say that I want to listen to. Believe her or not, I don’t give a f*ck. Just don’t come here asking for my side of the story after you’re done hearing hers, I call that bullcrap,”

I took a deep breath. There was nothing I was about to say that would make her believe that I trusted her. Even more than I Trust Daisy.

“The elders are asking for you to be punished for stabbing her. They either throw you in prison or allow Daisy to hurt you,”

She became frozen and let out a low gasp. Just when I was about to tell her I was going to fix it and she wouldn’t have to do anything, she answered, “I’ll take whatever punishment they want to give and I hope they’ll also consider banishing both me and my daughter from your pack,”

I was taken aback by her words but nothing hurts more than listening to her still wishing to leave me alone. As if that wasn’t enough to kill me, she added.

“Anything to get me away from you and your sob stories,”
