A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Angela

Our eyes met as soon as those words left his mouth. I thought I was glaring at him, planning how to kill him a million ways until a lone tear dropped from my eyes. He frowned, drinking up the weird look on my face as his eyes pierced mine more.

“You’re as much a suspect as everyone here. Those people died terribly and I’m sure whoever murdered them must have had the urge to come to the funeral and check out his latest masterpiece,”

Yeah! A psychopath like you would do that.

“Those gates remain locked until I account for everyone who attended the funeral, he relaxed into his seat and raised an eyebrow as he awaited a response from me,

“Say something. Nibbles,” he whispered.

I hated that nickname! At the same time, I had nothing to say. I would beg if need be, and I would roll on the floor even if I had to, whatever he wanted, I’d do as long as I didn’t have to touch him.

Sensing my hesitance, he signaled the two men in his office; his Beta and one warrior, to excuse him and they did.

“I need to leave. Whatever that will take, I’m willing to do it,” I answered. My heart was constricted, I hated how much power he had over me at this point but I was more worried about my baby. I don’t want her to be scared or worried about mummy.

Even though it’s possible she’s not alone at this moment, I’m sure she’ll soon be in the next few hours. The teacher she’ll stay with after school will drop her off at home in a few hours.

“How desperate are you to leave?” Darius asked, his eyes dancing over my lips before he sucked in his bottom lips.

I was supposed to be disgusted by his act but it kind of turned me on.

“Very desperate but I swear that I’d rather kiss a pig than allow you to touch me,” I spat.

He smirked. He held out his hand towards me and I gave him the document I was holding, the one he was supposed to sign. Darius took a good look at me before he picked up a pen and signed it.

Why did he suddenly change his mind? What sort of game is he playing now?

“I’m allowed to go?” I asked, unsure.

“Of course, Nibbles,” he shrugged. I couldn’t read his expression or his mind. He wasn’t like the Darius I used to know. Thi man wasn’t an open book, he had a weird, scary look plastered of his face that made it difficult to know what he was planning or what was going through his mind.

“Stop calling me that,” I complained.

“You don’t get to tell me what to do with my mouth,” I raised an eyebrow, sensing s

I need to leave!

I turned, ready to walk out of the office and his life the way I wanted.

“Leaving without a thank you,” he asked from behind me.

some sexual tone underneath his words.

I smirked, turned to him, and gave him the middle finger. As I left the office, I could hear him laughing behind me.

By the time I got to the gates, it was getting late and I was so close to missing my flight. I was lucky to get a bus at the closest

bus stop going to the next town. So lucky it was the last bus and I could’ve been stuck if I had missed it.

Through the flight home. I felt super uncomfortable. My wolf was agitated and I thought it had something to do with seeing Darius again.

“Are you sensing the vampires too?” I whipped my head to the side. The words had come from the man sitting next to me. He was gorgeous. He had freckles scattered on his nose and above his right check. I hadn’t noticed him because I focused more on getting home to my child.

“Vampires?” I asked and he smiled. That big type of smile where all teeth are revealed and he probably has the perfect set of teeth I’d ever seen.

“I was kidding. I could sense your agitation,

I raised an eyebrow. “How’s that possible?

He pressed his head backward and rolled his eyes. “You’re shifting in your seat too much.”

“Ahh.” I nodded. He was probably right. I looked away from him ready to calm down my wolf and get my head straight.

“We were on the same flight this morning,”

“I didn’t notice you” I answered without looking back at him.

“Well, I did. You’re beautiful,” he said.

That was the most straightforward compliment I’d ever receivedContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Thanks,” I squinted my eyes as I wasn’t sure that was what I was supposed to say.

“Next time I see you. I’m asking you out on a date,”

“Maybe we should try to avoid each other cos my answer will always be no,” I clicked my tongue.

“I’m sure you’ll change your mind if you see me again,” he was full of himself and somehow, I was digging it.

I’m sure I won’t,”

“I’m Mason,”

I took his hand and gave him a handshake. “Angela,”

He frowned, as if he’d heard my name from somewhere but when he didn’t make any comment or say anything, I let it and relaxed back into my seat.

Mason also didn’t say anything until the flight stopped. Even if his mouth were closed, his eyes were on me. Anytime looked back at him, he was staring at me with those gorgeous eyes that reminded me of Darius.

“See you soon, Angela,” he walked past me and waved as soon as we arrived at the airport.

I didn’t even get to wave back at him or say a word. I let go of my thoughts of him and of how he reminded me of Darius.

Some minutes later, I arrived at the young lady’s house to take my child, and lucky enough, I met them outside, about to head out.

“Cupcake,” I yelled. I happily ran towards her and she welcomed me with open hands.

“Mama”

“Yes baby, I hugged her tightly. I was so scared I wouldn’t see her today and seeing her, made all my worries vanish.

“You’re late,” she feigned anger.

“Im so sorry, my snuggle monster. Mama is sorry,” I didn’t want to give an excuse because I knew I’d be lying.

I missed you, mama,”

“I’m here now, baby. I’m here,” I said a thank you to her lovely teacher and we went home.

“So, did you see grandma?” She asked me as we walked along. I actually told her about my mom and my dad.

“Of course. She said to bring you next time,

‘Really? When will that be?” She asked.

“Soon.

She laughed. It was our inner joke. Soon means we won’t be talking about this in a little while or not in a few year

“I learned a new song in school today.”

“Would you love to teach me?” She hopped her head happily and began jumping and swinging as I held her hand to stop her from crashing.

She was singing joyfully, teaching me the lyrics as I tried to catch up with her.

“You’re getting it wrong mama,”

“Excuse me, young lady, I’m not as smart as you are. I pulled her cheeks and she giggled.

“Yes, you are. You just need to focus,”

“That’s a big word. Focus!

ocus! What does that even mo

mean?

She threw her head backward and began laughing again.

“Nibbles,” A voice suddenly called out. My feet became rooted at the spot. Why am I hearing Darius’ voice?

I turned toward the direction of the voice.

“What’s wrong mama?” My baby asked as soon as I turned.

I quickly hid her behind my back before raising my head to look at Darius.

He wasn’t looking at me. He was looking at Reina, my daughter.

“Nibbles!” He whispered again, his eyes searching mine for answers to unspeakable questions.
