Darius POV

“What was that, Darius?” Angela asked as I walked towards her. She had been waiting for me a few distance from the restaurant. I wasn’t mad at her for dining with that devil but I was more mad at myself for not warning her of the looming danger. On the other hand, I was so **g Horried about Mason. I trusted him to survive but if Mason couldn’t protect his people, that was enough to kill him:

“What was what?” I feigned ignorance.

“What you did out there? It was embarrassing.”

I stopped in my tracks and turned to her. I hadn’t realized that. I was too blinded with anger to actually see that it was out of line. “I apologize for that. I

didn’t mean to embarrass you”

“Really? is that going to fix what you did back there?”

“No, Angela, it wouldn’t fix it and neither will killing myself to prove to you that I’m sorry about it,”

She opened her mouth to say something but stopped. I could see the confusion in her eyes. She grabbed my hand before I could walk away. “Darius.”

“Listen, Angela. What I did must have been s** but trust me, it was for your safety and for the good of this pack. Stay away from Zack,”

“Why?”

I was getting frustrated. The explanation I just gave seemed to have evaporated into thin air and gave no meaning or maybe it wasn’t enough for her.

“I have no more explanations to give you now, just stay away from him,”

“you can’t tell me why I should stay away from him, maybe that’s because you don’t trust me enough.”

“I honestly can’t afford an argument with you right now,”

“We’re having a conversation, not an argument, Darius. Couples have conversations,”

“Are we?”

She raised an eyebrow. “Are we a couple?” I asked again.

I asked her in all honesty but she didn’t have a response for me. She tried to talk but then she stuttered.

“Darius, you know…I don’t…we…”

My greatest fear was manifesting in front of my eyes. I could do anything to prove to Angela just how much I love her a but her hesitation at moments like this was exhausting.

Truth be told, if we were a couple, her mark would be on my neck right now.

“ALPHA.”

Someone yelled from behind me. I turned to see it was one of the warriors running towards me.

“What happened?”

and how much I want to be with her

Chapter 84

“Someone is at the gates requesting an audience with you, Alpha. I think he’s a rogue”

“Did he tell y you his name?

“He said to tell you he’s a vulture,”

Ifrowned. That was the second time I would be hearing that today. First, it was Mason’s email, and now, this strange rogue at the g

“Vulture? Isn’t that the symbol of the Rogue King Ryker?” Angela asked. I turned to her.

“Ryker” That was the b**d my father sold this pack to.

“I’ve been researching since you told me about them. I wanted to know more,”

grabbed her shoulder before she could continue talking.

“Go to the school, pick up Reina, and go home straight. Understood? Do not open the door for anyone unless I say so,”

“Darius, what’s going on?”

“Nothing I can’t handle. Just go.”

She nodded frantically and ran off towards the school.

I turned to the warrior. “Alert Azalea. I want the number of warriors at the gate doubled and every other warrior should be on standby. Close the schools for now and tell everyone to go home,”

On getting to the gates, the warriors had probably been alerted because the numbers exceeded the usual number of them who were on duty at the gate.

The man in question was standing outside the gate, his hands folded against his chest. He looked too regular to be a rogue King or even a King at all. He was wearing a shirt and a jean.

“I thought rogue King’s had at least a bit of a fashion sense. Aren’t they chameleons trying to disguise at least as regular wolves?” I spat

“Honor is due to whom honor is due to. I’m glad you know who I am before I got to introduce myself,”

I scrunched my nose.

“That rogue smell never goes away, does it? No matter how much you try to clean up,”

I could see his fist clenching from the way the muscles of his arms appeared.

“I didn’t come here to be disrespected,”

I scoffed. “the moment you came to my pack unannounced, you’ve ripped yourself of any respect, rogue,”

“I love visiting unannounced. It kind of makes my presence more special,”

I wasn’t about to have a long conversation with a b**d like him.

“To what do I owe this unpleasant visit to my pack,”

“That pack is mine and we both know that,”

“I don’t understand,” I asked, feigning ignorance.

“You’re Darius Darkwood. Your brother holds the key to any information, and you’re the intelligent one which was the main reason why his pack rose to prominence so quickly. You know what I’m talking about,”

I shrugged, acting as if I honestly didn’t have an idea of what he meant.

“Your father sold this pack to me before his death and that makes me the eligible Alpha of this place. I’m here to claim what’s rightfully mine,”

“I’m not aware of any agreement between my father and you. If it’s your money you want back, state your price,”

He laughed. “The state of the contract clearly stated that if your father breached the contract, he would pay back in a thousand folds,”

I snickered. “A thousand folds?”

I gritted my teeth and cursed under my breath. What the f**k was going through my father’s head when he sold the pack? What the heck was he thinking for heaven’s sake?

“Unfortunately, my father is dead. I believe no one is paying you a thousandfold of whatever. It was a deal gone bad, so sorry for your loss. I’m sure that contract somewhere has a clause that stated the event of death which I believe my father covered perfectly,”

I’d seen the contract. Although I didn’t read it all through, I was more focused on the termination clause. I realized my father had to be dead before the finalization of the deal for the contract to be terminated.

“I don’t work the human way,

“Then, maybe you shouldn’t have signed the contract the human way,”

He moved a bit closer to me. “I’m sure you’ve heard about your brother. He was just wasted like a chicken. He wouldn’t want you to act as d a s he

did,”

My breath hitched as his words left his mouth. I closed my eyes to restrain my monster.

I signed deeply, “what a shame. Sometimes, we incur a loss in life but we gotta move on,”

My words took him by surprise.

“I’ll be back for what’s mine,”

I clicked my tongue. “You’ll have to walk through hell and back before you can have this pack. You might be a rogue but we both know who people fear more than a Rogue King-Darius Darkwood. You’ll meet me where your death awaits if you come back to this pack,”
