CHAPTER 76

Chapter 76

Darius‘ POV

Putting aside my thoughts and the betrayal, I walked up to Angela on the stairs. She looked so beautiful, so peaceful. I didn’t want to keep staring at her like a creep. I decided to take her to her room.

She didn’t even notice I was there until I picked her up bridal style in my arms. She stared awake. She tried to struggle but once she saw it was me, she stopped struggling and allowed me to take her to her room.

I put her on the bed and placed the duvet on her. She kicked it away and I tried it again. She waited for a few seconds before she kicked the duvet off her body and grabbed me by the collar.

“You wouldn’t even look at me now,” she said.

I managed to look her in the eyes for a few seconds before I looked away. “Go back to sleep. Why were you sleeping on the stairs anyway?”

“Why do you think I was sleeping on the stairs? If you’d come home when you were supposed to, would I have slept there waiting for you?”

A smile found its way to my lips but I quickly coughed to cover it up.

“You shouldn’t have. Go back to sleep,”

“No!” She stubbornly refused. “You’ve been avoiding me. You leave the house before I wake up and you return when I’m in bed. Now that I’ve caught you sneaking back in, you won’t even look at me.”

“Can you let me go, Nibbles?” She was still holding on to my collar stubbornly.

“No!” She yelled.

“You’ll wake Reina up, I huhsed her.

“She sleeps like a log. I’m sure she wouldn’t wake up. Now, why are you avoiding me? Is it because of what I said?”

She asked.

“Maybe,”

“You don’t want to talk about your wolf? Is that it? Is that why?” She sounded disappointed. I could hear her voice breaking at the end and it made my heart ache so badly.

She dropped my collar and moved further away from me.

“Get out!” She commanded

I nodded. I stood up straight, ready to leave the room. It was enough that I’d seen her and that I’d taken in her scent. I could continue avoiding her because that was the best thing to do. If I brought up the topic and I heard the truth from her, it might kill me.

Before I could turn and walk out, I saw a lone tear fall from her eyes and I could swear I felt my legs shook with a deep intensity.

“Why are you in tears?”

I f*cking hated seeing her cry.

“You are the reason.”

“I’m always the reason, aren’t I?” I asked. I sat beside her on the bed and cleaned her tears away.

She tried k*ssing me. I removed my lips from hers.

“What? Fine! I don’t want to know about your wolf anymore,‘ she cried.

“Enough with the tears, baby,” I begged.

“Then stop being so mad at me,”

“I’m not mad at you. I’m… I’m just disappointed, I confessed.

“Because I got scared of you and your wolf,”

I took a deep breath. “No! It’s…” she k*ssed my forehead. She k*ssed my nose. I stopped her before she could k*ss my lips.

“Can you tell me please?”

She gave me a puppy look that brought me to my knees.

This woman was killing me! She has so much power over me that she didn’t know. I avoided her because I was trying to avoid this.

“You saw Charles, didn’t you?” I asked. She froze up and quickly looked away from me.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

I asked her.

She was scared of something, I could tell. I knew Angela and I knew her response to fear. Nothing was different this

time as well.

“I wanted to when I came to your office with Reina days ago but you were already on your way to find him so 1 decided not to tell you,”

She said.

I nodded. I trusted her enough to believe she was telling the truth but something else was scaring her.

“Did something else happen that you’ll want me to know?”

She hesitated then shook her head. “Nothing happened,”

We stared at each other for a while and she gave me a really big smile.

“Are you okay? I heard what happened with that warrior,”

“Do you believe I killed him?”

She laughed. “You didn’t. If you did, they’ll hear it directly from you,”

I k*ssed her neck. “That’s my girl,”

“Do you want to talk about your wolf?”

“There’s nothing to talk about, baby. My wolf’s dangerous. More dangerous than you know. What you saw that day is

its usual, normal form. You don’t have to be scared of him. He loves you as much as I do.

There was much more I was hiding from her but I wanted her to be ready before telling her or maybe I would show her rather than tell. I could only hope when I finally did she wouldn’t run away in fear again.

She nodded excitedly. “Sorry, I ran off. I panicked,”

That’s fine. I understand, My Angel,”

I k*ssed her. She k*ssed me back just as much. She threw her hands around my neck and placed herself on my lap. while her mouth didn’t leave mine.

I dragged my mouth off hers and placed it on her neck, k*ssing the bite mark that I was so proud of. I k*ssed my way back to her lips. I could keep k*ssing her for a year without stopping or getting tired.

“Darius,” she moaned out.

“Hmm,

I put my hands inside her top and dragged the clothes over her head.

“I need to tell you something.”

I groaned. “Can it wait?”

“I don’t want to forget about it,”

She sounded serious. I stopped k*ssing her and looked at her.

The look on her face told me she was about to get defiant or naughty.

I squinted my eyes as I waited for her to talk.

“I need to leave the pack,”

“NO!”
