Chapter 64

Angela’s POV

Minutes after his declaration, I’m standing a few feet away from the foot of the bed and trying to make Darius see reasons regarding his decision. He wasn’t thinking straight. Hurting these people wouldn’t stop them. If anything, it would only prove a point and make them

stronger.

“What are you talking about?”

He stared at the scar on his hand. “If they love playing with fire that much, why don’t I make them taste their work by using my masterpiece?”

“You can’t do that, Darius,”

I removed my hand from his and walked away to stand close to Azalea.

“Why not?”

I threw my hands up in exasperation. “Because it doesn’t make any sense, Darius. You’re not the tyrant Alpha they think you are. They’re expecting you to retaliate and attack them too. What sort of Alpha attack his own people?”

“The one who doesn’t want to appear weak to his people,” Azalea responded.

I shot him a hard glare and he looked away.

“The one who doesn’t want to lose his life to the same people he serves,” Darius answered.

I ran my hand through my hair. “I understand but why don’t you for a minute ask a question of why this is happening?”

“Nibbles,”

“That name is infuriating,”

“I call you that to get on your nerves and it works every damn time baby,”

He smiled and I became weak to my toes. It was rare to see Darius smile but it was usually the best thing.

Azalea cleared his throat, gaining our attention. That brought me back to my senses.

“You became their Alpha without giving them a chance to say yes or no to your rule. They believe you probably killed a lot of people just to become their Alpha. You can’t just do that and not expect an opposition,”

“I expected opposition but I expected one without violence. They should’ve voiced out their feelings instead of burning down their warehouse,”

My mouth dropped open. “You do actually believe people can be bold enough to tell it to your face that they don’t want you,”

“Maybe they’re little cowards who can’t do that,”

“Maybe they’re just scared for their lives,” I argued.
