A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

Chapter 34

ANGELA

The elders allowed me to leave without any punishment. Lucky me, right? No! That was no luck, that had Darius Darkwood written all over it. I wasn’t lucky to have walked out alive or without being thrown into jail. I walked out because I made a bargain with a f*cking devil who seemed to have loved the bargain more than his life. He told me to wait behind after I was dismissed but I didn’t wait. I walked out before he could hold me back or call my name.

I called my mom on the way back to ask about Reina. She told me Reina was on a playdate with some of her friends and would pick her up later in the evening. Hearing about Reina having friends was a proud mummy moment for me. I forgot about all the troubles I had during the day. I sure didn’t make the wrong decision by deciding to stay back in the pack. I branched at the playdate to check on her for some minutes before going home.

“So, what was the punishment you were given? Will I get to claw your eyes out or slash your heart open?” Daisy asked as 1 walked into Darius’ mansion.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her. The innocent Dasiy was at it again. I bet Darius would have a field day if he heard her speaking like this. Talk about her being innocent and bu*lshit.

“What do you want Daisy?” I groaned.

“I want to hear it from you. You messed with me and you’re getting punished for it,” She argued.

“How did I mess with you? By not telling you about Reina’s whereabouts,”

This morning after I dropped Reina off at her school, I had a short, private conversation with her teacher. I asked her not to let anyone other than my mom and I pick Reina up from school If I want someone else to do that, I’ll call her and let her know. She agreed.

“I don’t need to say it again when you already said it yourself, Angela,”

“I’m sure you would be saying the same thing when I take custody of her after you’re sent to the hospital from the scars I’ll give you,”

“Maybe you should call your brother or Darius for the news. It’s good news for me and unfortunately, it’s bad news for you

Her demeanor changed. I could see her stance becoming stiff as she took in my words. It might’ve come as a surprise for her but for me, I was more concerned about how confident she was in the fact that I would be punished.
