Chapter 12

After Darius walked out of the house, I didn’t see him for the next two days. No one was allowed to leave the pack since the investigation was still ongoing for the murder of the late Alpha, Beta, and my dad. So, there was no way for me to leave and get our things from our home. I was shown Reina’s room and was surprised to see it was fully furnished with newer and more expensive clothes.

That made me feel terrible as a mother. The same clothes I could never afford were in the hundreds in her room, together with toys so expensive they cost my house rent for two months. Some cost a whole year’s rent anyway. I wasn’t given a room. yet because Darius wasn’t around. They couldn’t give me a room in his mansion without his consent so I had to spend two nights in Reina’s room.

That afternoon, I picked her up after school and took her to my mom to introduce them properly. It was love at second sight for both of them.

Reina would laugh at every joke Mom made and Mom would also laugh at Reina’s attempt to make jokes. They baked, sang, and danced. While all this was going on, I sat in front of the TV and flipped through different channels, trying to find something interesting to watch to get over the thoughts of Darius

Reina might be a spitting image of Darius but she acts like my mother, jovial, extroverted, and loud while I was a quiet, stubborn goat like my father.

We walked back home in the evening while Reina happily sang some of the songs my mom had taught her. They both love singing. We got back to the Alpha’s mansion and saw a little crowd. They were bringing some things into the house. The first thing I saw that got my attention was a palette that belonged to me. My dad had gifted that to me on my eighth birthday. It was customized with my name. I picked it up.

“I’m guessing that’s yours,” A voice interrupted before I saw a face. It was the pack’s Beta, Nathan. We were good friends in high school but got separated after I found out Darius was my mate.

“I’m guessing everything here is mine, I pointed at the luggage, boxes, and baggage. Darius made true to his words,

He smiled. “Hi, it’s good to see you again, Angela. We didn’t get to talk the last time,”

“Yes! I was kind of preoccupied with something.”

“You were trying to get out of the pack,”

I hummed in agreement. “I was but here I am now, maybe I shouldn’t have fought it back then,”

He shook his head. “I think you did great. I saw Reina with my sister the other day. She’s got Darius’ face b smile,”

At the mention of Reina, I realized I didn’t know where she ran off to but I soon found her across the room, e bowl of soup. I smiled.
