A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret (Angela)

Chapter 11

68

The following morning. I made my way to the Alpha's mansion to see Reina and let Darius know my decision. I didn't sleep all night, I was deep in thought about what to do. Going back to town with no house and no job wasn't a good choice. All my mother said also got to me. She was right. Reina needs to grow up with people just like her. It will be terrible if she gets her first shift in a class full of humans.

If I said I hadn't thought about this in the past few years, I'd be lying. I'd given it a thought several times and the plan was to move to another pack once she was ten. I guess, I don't have to be so concerned about that anymore.

I

I couldn't sleep at night, especially after Darius sent me several pictures of Reina. The lady with Reina in that picture was utterly familiar and no matter how many times, I zoomed the picture. I couldn't tell where I knew her from.

As I walked into the mansion, subconsciously, my hand went to rub my neck, and heat pulled at my check once I remembered what happened between Darius and me in the middle of his home. All of a sudden, I wanted to feel that way again. Quickly. I pushed the stupid thoughts out of f my head.

I guess you're here to see the Alpha. I should call him for you before you start screaming his name again," One of the women I met yesterday, said to me.

turned and walked up the stairs to get Darius. I felt embarrassed but I quickly composed myself.

Did I do too much yesterday familiar voice yelled from the front door and I turned at the sound of the voice. It was my baby.

y? Was my behavior that terrible? I mean, I wanted my child back, I didn't want to have anything to do with Darius. Heck, I hadn't even thought about coming back here again.

"Mama," A tiny, beautiful, and

"Hey baby," I bent on my knee and spread out my arms for her. She ran into my arms and I hugged her tightly. I kissed he just as much as I'd missed her..

"I missed you," She cried, holding

onto my shirt. It was one of my mom's shirts that fitted me. Since I didn't come pr to spend the night, I had to settle for my mom's clothes.

I missed you too, baby. Are you fine? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

She shook her head. "I'm okay, mama,"

I kissed her again as I cried. She acts too mature for her age. She wouldn't want me to be worried about her.

"Uncle Darius took me to see Grandma. She's beautiful,"

I nodded. I didn't realize I was crying until a tear fell across m

"Uncle Darius?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

She nodded. "He's your friend, right?" She brushed her tiny finger through the tears.

"Of course," I answered. I'm guessing he didn't introduce himself as her dad but he still shouldn't have introduced himself as my friend. He was my enemy and number one on my kill list if I have one. A hand suddenly appeared in front of me.

Chapter 11

"Hi, I'm Claire. I'm her nanny,"

"Claire?" I asked, standing up from the ground. I scrutinized hero realize she was the one in the picture I saw earlier.

I looked back down at Reina and saw that she was in a uniform as well. I hadn't even noticed that because I was so engrossed in seeing her again. It was the pack's school uniform.

"You should take her to school, Daisy. Thank you for your efforts Darius voice interrupted us. I turned back to see he was there. I quickly cleaned the tears away from my eyes. I don't get to show my weakness to that b*stard. "I'll pick you up from school, baby,"

"Promise, mama," She showed me her palm. I'd taught her that the same way Darius taught me. I kissed her palm even though I knew Darius was right behind me. "I promise baby," waved at

at me as she walked away with Claire. I waved back, knowing I would sacrifice my life for her to live. I would do anything for my child.

I turned to face the devil in the black suit. The black suit accentuated his wide frame and for a second, I was reminded of how perfectly our bodies used to be molded together. His eyes slowly roamed my body and I frowned at him. He smirked and I c*cked my eyebrow. see you didn't tell her you were her dad,"

"I want you f to do that yourself," I smirked. I don't think that day or that moment would ever come.

"I'm guessing you already picked an option." I nodded. "Good, tell me. Will you stay or will you leave?" "Staying is the best option for Reina,"

His expression suddenly became serious. He moved closer to me, almost taking my breath away. His face was a few inches away from mine. He twisted a stray curl in his fingers and stared into my eyes. I hate how much effect he has on me.

"I care more about your decision for you and not Reina, Nibbles Tell me, what do you want?"

Stu*idly, I tapped my feet on the marble floor. He smirked. "I want the truth from you, nothing else."

He held my chin

I shrugged, agreeing with him. "If wishes were horses, you'd be dead," I told him.

"It's a shame wishes aren't horses. You get to stay right here in my pack, together with me and Reina. I'll get someone bring your things from that wretched town"

I took a step away from him. "When you say 'here' do you mean this pack, with my mom, or in this house?"

He threw one hand in his pocket. "Here, in this mansion,"

"What?" I yelled.

"You're a b*stard," I spat.
