A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

Chapter 71

Angela’s POV

The number of minutes it took me to get to my mom’s place, and the number of people I met on the way all went over my head. I wasn’t in my right senses anymore. The fear that enveloped me, the disgust 1 felt, and the horror that settled in my spine all didn’t make sense to me until I stopped at my mom’s front porch.

All that happened in the last ten minutes came back to me in a flash and I shivered. I was scared, not just for myself but for Reina. I couldn’t even make out the face of the stranger because he had his face covered in a mask but those eyes; were so cold, distant, and nothing like I’d ever seen in my life.

I took a deep breath.

Fear gripped me again. I didn’t want to lose Reina. I can’t afford to lose her. It was never even in my plan to tell Darius about what I saw at Halle’s place but after getting threatened like that, I don’t think I would be able to breathe a word. to him or anyone else.

I managed to regulate my breath and put my heart at ease before I walked up to the front, turned the knob, and walked inside the house.

Right in the middle of our house was Zack. Dr. Zack. I could’ve rolled my eyes but I was too traumatized to. Good! Another person I didn’t look forward to seeing.

“Hello Angela,”

“Hi,” I waved a little at him as I glanced around to see if Reina was anywhere around the house.

It was her birthday tomorrow. My girl was turning the big six and I’d promised to spend the day with her as usual.

“You look great,” he commented, a smirk on his lips. A part of me felt as though I was being mocked and it made me wonder if because he was a therapist, he could read through me like an open book.

“I always look great. Why are you here?”

“Did something happen to you, Angela?”

I frowned. I rubbed my arm as if I was cold all of a sudden.

“What? Nothing happened. Where’s my mom?”

“You’re acting defensive and at the same time, trying to change the subject. It’s not who you used to be. And your mom is with your daughter. She’s getting her ready.”

“Well, thanks for the analysis and information. Have a wonderful day.” I began walking towards the stairs. “Just when you’re done, lock the door behind you,”

I wasn’t about to stand with him for a few more minutes and hear him tear me down or make me so weak I wouldn’t have a choice but to tell him what happened to me.

“Birthday girl,” I excitedly screamed as I walked into my daughter’s new room. It was my old room that my mom redecorated for her. I was actually surprised when she did and it felt weird. It was as though she didn’t want me sleeping over in the house anymore.
