A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

Chapter 40

ANGELA

For the next twelve hours, all I could think about was leaving. For the safety of mine and Reina’s, I had to leave the pack. Charles had assured me that he would help us leave the pack since he was the Beta and no one, except for Darius, would dare question him for allowing a pack member to leave. The plan was to avoid Darius for the rest of the day. That was easy because he didn’t show up at all.

After I picked Reina from school, I didn’t bring her back to the mansion or even entertain a word from her. I took her to mom’s place and promised to be back for her. If I’m able to leave Darius’ mansion tonight, the only problem I would be having will be with my mother. I’ll have to explain to her that I need to leave. I shouldn’t wait until someone finds us and

1 zipped up the bag of clothes on my bed and took a deep breath as my eyes lingered around the room. I ran my finger through my hair, held a chunk, and pulled, hoping it’d help me make up my mind once and for all. All through the afternoon, I had a second thought. Maybe I was being irrational about this. Maybe I should just have faith in my decision and stay. But, it’ll kill me if anything happened to Reina while I did.

I picked up the heavy bag from the bed and left the room. It was almost ten at night. The hallways were empty, a sign that almost everyone was in their beds. That was a good sign after all. All that was left was to pack Reina’s clothes and leave. I couldn’t do that during the day. If someone saw me, I’m pretty sure they would’ve alerted Darius and that would have gone bad.

One of the small travel bags that belonged to Reina was quickly filled with her clothes. I took just one shoe and stuffed it into the bag. That was when it dawned on me that I was about to start my life from scratch from wherever I ran to. I still have idea where to go but since Charles said he has a place, I should trust his judgment.

I picked both bags ready to leave, not knowing the devil was just behind me.

“ANGELA,”

A thick, husky voice that belonged to Darius Darkwood echoed from behind me. Out of shock, both bags dropped from my hands as I turned to face him. He came out of Reina’s bathroom. I was scared for my life when our eyes met and the look of his face was reflected by the light hovering below the ceiling.

“Darius, hi,”

“What are you doing?” He asked, pointing at the bags that had fallen to the carpet.

I took a deep breath. I’m pretty sure he had no idea what was going on. Maybe the blackness clouding his eyes was beca he was mad at something that happened before now.
