Chapter 128
Angela’s POV
“I’ll be back,”
An hour ago, Darius kissed my hair and walked out of the artist’s studio that I’d been cooped in for the past few weeks.
Those have been Darius frequent words.
He’ll be back!
At first. I had hoped that Darius would one day come back home with Reina but as FIVE MONTHS passed, I began to lose up
Yeah! It’s been five months since I lost my child, my best friend, and the bigger part of my soul, Reina. My life hasn’t been the same. I lived as though I wouldn’t make it till morning but every single time I open my eyes to the sunshine, tears spill from them. Some nights, I couldn’t even bring myself to sleep.
Different thoughts kept on coming to my head. A part of me wanted to mourn Reina especially after they came back to the pack with her clothes.
I kept on painting, just anything that came to my mind. It was the only thing that made sense to me. It was the only time I felt a bit alive. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror twice. I was torn beyond repair
The disappearance of our daughter had created a small rift between both Darius and me. He was always out, looking for her. He said he wouldn’t give up, no matter what and he would never stop searching. He was keeping up with the affairs of the pack as well as looking for Reina. I knew it was pretty hard on him but I couldn’t tell him to stop searching for her. I was too selfish to do that.
The twins would be due at any time. Halle and the new gynecologist had told me to be prepared for the arrival of the babies any moment from then.
“Madam
Azalea walked into the room. “Hi,”
He stared at the horrific painting I was working on and be stared at me worriedly.
“Angela, are you sure you’re fine?”
I stared at him and shook my head. “Am I supposed to be fine?”
Ever since my mom decided to keep the pregnancy, I’d seen more of Azalea around my family and we’d gotten closer. He still wasn’t comfortable with calling me by my name yet so he switched between Madam and Angela most times.
“Alpha won’t give up, he promised me.
“A part of me wants him to give up and another part of me wants him to keep going. He’s exhausted and I can’t even tell him anything. He’s blaming himself for what happened,”
“No on
one knew exactly what happened. That’s why he’s being too hard on himself,
Ever since the bad incident occurred, Darius had taken it upon himself to install CCTV at every corner.
The mystery behind Reina’s disappearance was what made me lose my mind. The door was locked, she was even asleep, how did she suddenly disappear from the house?
“One day, it’ll make sense,”
I looked up at Azalea who is now a big part of my family. “One day I repeated. I really couldn’t see the hope anymore. It was mere words to me
now
“Alpha Darius’s father is dead. He died last night and we’re planning on burying him discretely at the border this morning. Alpha Darius wants to know if you’ll want to attend,”
Ishook my head. I couldn’t bring myself up to attend his funeral.
As for his mysterious stepbrother, who could possibly be the one who kidnapped my daughter was still nowhere to be found. It was as though he didn’t exist anymore. Right after Reina disappeared, the calls and texts ended.
I stay home.”

Azalea nodded. “If anything happens, please call us,”
I nodded. He smiled lightly at me and I smiled back.
Azalea left and I went back to the darkhole I was painting, I realized I was done and I had nothing else to paint. Instead of waiting around and doing nothing, I headed to the river bank.
I was also beginning to feel uncomfortable in my belly and I thought a walk could help out.
I stood at a reasonable distance away from the few people who were there.
It was just Darius, Charles, Stanley and Azalea. They didn’t use a coffin or anything special. They only threw his body into a hole just as he’d deserved.
1 hoped they would put a stone on his grave and write something really sarcastic and nasty on it. He was a shitty father, a pathetic excuse of an Alpha, and of course, a shitty grandfather.
If people really rot in hell for their sins, I hope he found a perfect spot over there so he could not properly,
Darius lifted his head and saw me, I smiled bitterly at him and he squinted his eyes. I waited for him to walk up to me,
He looked as though he carried the burden of the world on his shoulder. He was just as broken as I was. He wasn’t one to be vocal with his feelings unlike me but the strange thing was, I could hear every one of his unspoken words.
“Are you okay, baby!” He touched my chin slightly
“One step at a time. One day it’ll get better, 1 rephrased what Azalea had told me earlier.
“How are the babies?”
“I can’t explain it but I’m feeling this discomfort and I stopped talking to be able to gather my words together so it would make sense. “Somewhat painful. Nothing intense,”
“Let’s get you to the hospital then, just to be safe,
I nodded. ‘Sure,
I was twice my size already and I didn’t feel so preuy anymore but that was the least of my worries. That in fact didn’t even matter to me.
Suddenly I felt a wetness on my leg. I grabbed Darius hand and looked down.
“What’s it, baby?”
“I think my water just broke,
“Remember what they said, breathe through the pain. They’ll be here soon and we’ll be fine.”
Staring at him, I got overwhelmed with emotions. “I love you, Darius,”
His eyes glued to mine but he didn’t say a word until I saw the tears slip down the formidable Alpha Darius‘ eyes.
“I thought you stopped loving me.”
I shook my head just as the pain began kicking in. “I didn’t stop loving you but I’m so close to stop loving you if we don’t get to the hospital and I kick these little monsters out of me,
He laughed.
get them out, my love,
Three hours later, I gave birth to a boy and a girl. That same hour, my mom was booked for surgery for the next day. She didn’t get to see her grandbabies the moment they were born but Darius was right there with me.
They’re so beautiful; I gushed I was holding one of them while Darius was holding the other.
“You’re their mom. They have to be beautiful,”
“You don’t look bad yourself, Alpha Darius,”
“I think I have a new kink. Call me alpha Darius one more time and you’ll be orennat the third time before you can blink” he winked at me and I

laughed.
“Do you have any names for them?”
I thought about it for a while. “How about Layla and Liam?”
“That’s beautiful,”
He kissed me.
My mood suddenly changed.
“I miss Reina,”
“I miss her too. Something died in me after she disappeared.”
“I still can’t believe she’s not here,
“It’s more crazy to know that I can’t even say
y this was what happened,”
“One day she would be back. I know she’s alive somewhere. I want her to meet us happy and hopeful,”
“I won’t stop looking for her, baby, and I promise, to always be here for you and the twins as well,”
I love you, Darius,”
He kissed me softly. “I love you too, my greatest gift.
