CHAPTER 65

Chapter 65

Angela’s POV

Three days had passed since Darius woke up and for those three days, the tension in the pack was worse than before. Darius didn’t hide the fact that he was searching for the members of the Resistance and that kept everyone in the pack on their toes.

If not everyone, at least, those who were innocent. A number of pack members had been invited for interrogation. I didn’t bother questioning him about it or who they were. The less I knew, the less worried I would be.

I was finally visiting Reina at my mom’s place because she’d been staying with her since the day of the horrible incident. I’d talked to her on the phone every day and I’d promised to come visit her today. I wasn’t ready to bring her back into the house because of the horrifying sights of blood in the house.

“MAMA!” She screamed as soon as she heard me open the front door. She jumped into my arms as soon as I crouched in front of her.

“I missed you too babes,”

I didn’t realize how much I’d missed her until she was in my arms again. Tears pooled in my eyes.

When she finally untangled her tiny arms from around my neck, I saw that she was in tears too.

“Why are you crying?”

I laughed as I wiped her tears.

“I missed you,”

“I know and I’m here now baby,”

“I was scared,” she confessed. It’s been the most number of days since we’ve been separated and I knew it must have been hard on her. It was easier for me because I knew she was safe with my mom and that put my mind at ease.

“I’m here now. Don’t cry,” she pouted and I almost couldn’t stop myself from crying. “You’re gonna make Mama cry,”

She shook her head. “No, don’t cry mama,”

“I won’t, I promise,”

We finally separated and the first thing I did was hug my mom who had been waiting and watching us.

“It’s been hectic, hasn’t it?” I nodded while still hugging her.

I never knew I would need my mom’s hugs this much someday. I missed it even when I had acted strong and thought I didn’t.

“How’s Alpha Darius?” I finally heaved a deep sigh.

“Better and on a revenge mission,”

I sassed. My mom laughed.

“Everyone is walking on eggshells around here and I think that’s the way it should be. We lost two warriors. Two young boys and if what

I couldn’t agree less. “They deserve the closure,”

She nodded. My mom caressed my face and smiled at me.

“I feel like I’m a terrible mother,” I said. Reina was still hugging my leg.

“No, you’re not. No one would want their child in that house in the state it’s in. Has anybody come around to clean up?”

“Yeah, a few people came in this morning to clean. It’s spotless but still has a number of warriors around the house. I want things to ease

up a bit before bringing her back. Is it okay if she stays a few more days with you here?”

“Of course. You don’t have to be SO polite about it,”

“Thanks, Mom,” she smiled.

Chapter 65

Reina was back in her playhouse, ignoring me and my mom for the world of her dolls. She’d asked about Darius when we spoke on the phone and it came as a shock when she didn’t ask me about him.

“Alpha Darius was here an hour earlier,”

“Ooh,” was all I could say. That explained why Reina didn’t ask about him.

I dropped my purse on the console table and sat with my mom in the laundry room.

“Where’s Brit?”

“In her room,”

‘Maybe I should go say hi,”

“She’s here” my mom pointed behind me. I turned to see my sister outside, glaring

at me. It wasn’t unusual.

“Hi Brit, you look good,”

“Look who the cat dragged in, the same person fraternizing with the man who got her father killed,”

I blinked. “What are you talking about?”

“People are talking and I have ears. He killed our father and you know it and still, you decided to keep f*cking him,” she walked into my

“You’re the one sleeping with your father’s killer. Do have

you any shame at all, Angela? You disrespected us by moving in with him five years ago. That almost killed Dad and when he managed to survive the disappointment, you ran away without saying a little as goodbye. Now, you’re back after his death disappointing him as usual, I’m sure he’s rolling in his grave, cursing himself out for having a daughter like you,”

“Stop being unreasonable, Brittany,” my mom cautioned.

“I’m being unreasonable? Shouldn’t Angela be the one you’ll tell that to? She’s being unreasonable by still staying by his side when she’s not even wanted,”

“I need to go,”

I announced. My mom tried stopping me but I stopped her instead “Tell Reina I’ll be back,”

I took the back door because I didn’t want Reina to see leave.

much, and if I stayed, I would’ve clawed her eyes out.

I didn’t go home, instead, I went to his office. I knew he would be there.

It was about time for me to know the truth. I needed to know if the man I couldn’t stop loving murdered my father in cold blood.

As I got out of the elevator, the warriors by the door tried talking to me but I walked past them. I barged into his office without knocking. He was in a meeting with at least three elders, Mason and Azalea, and a few others.

The rest weren’t my business. He was my business. My anger was directed at him. I moved to walk up to him but his warriors stopped me by grabbing me by my hand.

Still glaring at him, I yelled. “LET ME GO!”

“What in the name of disrespect is this?” One of the elders spat.

“Get your hands off her,” Darius commanded.

“Alpha, she’s…”

He interrupted before the boy could finish his words.

“If I complete this statement and you’re still restraining her, you’ll beg for your life,” He threatened menacingly.

“The meeting is dismissed,” he said to the rest.

“Alpha, we can’t dissolve this meeting like this. What we are discussing is far more important than whatever this is,”

Alpha Mason and Azalea were already on their feet, ready to walk out of the room at the command of their Alpha.

His eyes were fixated on me.

“Elder, if you defy my orders one more time, you’ll find out how crazy I can get,”

“We came here because…”

“GET OUT!” He growled.

Aside from Alpha Mason, everyone in the room felt the pulsating power of his dominance. No one dared to say a word as they all left the room one after another. On other days, I would’ve been more interested in what way they looked at me but today, I was more focused on one man only.

“Did you kill mu

“What if I say I did?”

“Don’t play with words, Darius. Did you or did you not kill my father?”
