CHAPTER 55

Chapter 55

Angela’s POV

All I could think of were Darius’s words for the next few hours. His words affected me but I chose not to believe him. It has never always been me. He chose a different woman every time our paths crossed.

I had to force myself to sleep and soon enough, I regretted I did. Although it took me a few hours to finally sleep, my nightmares woke me up several times. I could feel hands on my face, suffocating me. I couldn’t breathe. At some point, I saw myself being pushed down a cliff. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t.

By the time I woke up from a frightening nightmare the fifth time, I gave up on sleeping. I knew the reason why I was having those nightmares and I knew they got worse because someone wouldn’t mind his business and not make me a stupid artist workshop.

I didn’t need one. I would never need one. I reached for my pill bottle and groaned when I realized I didn’t have a bottle of water in the room.

Sleep–deprived and reluctant, I dragged my feet to the kitchen to get some water. I was wearing a round–neck shirt I picked up. randomly from my luggage. It barely managed to cover my buttcheeks.

“Can’t sleep?” Darius’s voice suddenly echoed, scaring me. I jumped in fear before I could figure out it was him. I sucked in a deep breath as I glared at him.

He was sitting in darkness at first but after he spoke, he switched on the lamp with him. He was in the dining area holding a pen and a file.

“What are you doing?”

He raised the file. “Working!”

“What are you doing here? What happened to the Alpha’s mansion?

“I hate it there. I prefer it here,” I raised an eyebrow. It was getting difficult trying to understand Darius.

“Yeah! It’s your house. Do whatever you want,

“Can’t sleep?” He asked again. I hid the drug in the middle of my palm.

“I sleep soundly. I just want a bottle of water. I was thirsty,”

“What’s in your hand?” He asked. This time, he was on his feet.

I had to act smarter than him. I walked closer to the dining table and touched the file with a fake smile on my face.

“What are you working on?”

He ignored me. He walked right past me into the kitchen and I almost cursed under my breath. I had thought he was coming. after me, I took a glimpse at the file but I couldn’t understand what was written on it

“Nibbles, your brain capacity can’t comprehend that. Don’t bother reading it

I almost dropped to the floor. My mouth dropped open and my face turned pale.

Did he just insinuate that I was too stupid to understand a simple document?

“What?” I gasped.

“What?” He asked, pressing a bottle of water on my skin and 1 grabbed it away from his hand.

“I’m not stupid,”

He smirked. “I didn’t say you were. The handwriting is a bit complicated. The file is from another pack. I’ve already made a request for a new one. If possible, typed. No idiots use pen to write a stupid file these days,”

He clenched his jaw so tightly I wondered if it hurt him.

Thanks for the water,

Chapter 35

I forced the words out of my mouth as I began walking away.

“If you can’t sleep, you could either use the pill or come into my room,” he suggested.

I turned to him and glared hard. “Stay away from me,” I warned.

“You say you hate me but you still wear my shirt from five years ago,”

I looked down at the shirt I was wearing and I almost cried. It was indeed his. The last of his shirt that I kept for myself. I didn’t even check what I was wearing twice. My clothes were all over the place and I needed something to sleep on.

A feathered kiss dropped on my hair and I shuddered. I knew it was Darius but I didn’t want to face him.

He ran his hand over my arm, leaving goosebumps at each spot he left behind. He dropped another kiss on my shoulder and I felt butterflies flutter in my stomach.

I wanted to drop every pride in me and turn to him. I wanted to kiss him and beg him to take me right there but I couldn’t.

Not after everything he’d done to me. He’d made me feel less of myself and at his mercy everytime. I shouldn’t do this.

“We can do this the easy way, He whispered in my ear.

I swallowed the moan that was making it’s way to my throat. “Or maybe not,” I replied. I didn’t sound like me at all.

He was so close to me that I could feel his hard bulge pressing into my back. My senses were disappearing and the earlier I moved away from him, the better.

In the blink of an eye, I took several steps away from him.

“I don’t want you touching me again, Darius,”

He raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?

“Yes. I hate it when you do. It makes me hate myself and I hate hating myself,

“And you’re sure you won’t regret this, Nibbles”

“Stop calling me that ridiculous name,”

I shook my head furiously. I was trying to convince myself more than him. “I won’t regret my decision. If you need a slut at your disposal, go to Daisy because it seems the only thing I have control over in this pack is my body,”

“Daisy shouldn’t be a part of any of our conversation,”

“The moment she walked into that dungeon and treated me like trash which I’m pretty sure was on your orders, she…” I stopped talking and took a deep breath.

“What did she do to you?”

I frowned.

“Why don’t you ask her?”

He moved closer to touch me but I moved away and screamed.

“STOPP

“Tell me what she did and I’ll stop,”

“Ask her,” I spat.

I opened the bottle of water and swallowed the pill right there in front of him.

*I’ll rather overdose on pills than let you touch me ever again,”

Turning briskly on

feet, I walked away, not looking back at him not even when I heard a menacing growl and a loud crash.
