A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

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 forto 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 madefeel terrible as a mother. The sclothes I could never afford were in the hundreds in her room, together with toys so expensive they cost my house rent for two months. Scost a whole year's rent anyway. I wasn't given a room. yet because Darius wasn't around. They couldn't givea 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 hin the evening while Reina happily sang sof 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 sthings into the house. The first thing I saw that got my attention was a palette that belonged to me. My dad had gifted that toon 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.

"Wait! Claire is your sister?" He nodded with a smile. My mouth dropped open. "Why didn't recognize her? She's such a big girl now" "Yeah, I guess," He shrugged. "It's really nice to have you back here, both you and Reina," "Thank you," My attention shifted to the scar on his face. It wasnt just the scar that was different about him, his physique and his aura had becmore powerful. I want to know the story behind the scar but minding my business wouldn't be hard. Would it? "Do you still draw?" He asked. I shivered in fear. That brought back a crazy memory for me. A cold shiver settled in my sp as different images ran through my head. I used to love drawing and painting but now, I can barely hold a brush without 1/3 ||| 13:00 Tue, May 28 MM.

Chapter 12 getting sucked into my nightmares.

His hand dropped on my shoulder and he gently shook me. "Are you okay?" He asked.

I cleared my throat and pushed the images to the back of my head. "Yes, I'm fine," "Do you still draw?" he pointed to the palette I was holding. I dropped it as if it was on fire.

"Ah, no. I don't draw anymore.

e. It's a thing of the past," "What ha..." 68 Before he could finish his word, Darius interrupted. For the first tin a long time, I felt grateful that Darius interrupted something.

"Nibbles," His hands were folded against his chest as he stared both his Beta anddown. He had a long drawn string of deep scowl on his face. He c*cked his eyebrow and his Beta quickly removed his hand from my shoulder.

"What's going on here? Don't you have a duty to attend to, Beta?" He spat.

"Apologies, Alpha," He turned toand I gave him a smile. "See you around," "Talk to you later," I waved as he walked away.

"What was that about? Flirting with my Beta?" He spat "Crazy b*stard" I mumbled underneath my breath.

I gave him a disgusting look before I picked up sof Reina's old toys that were stacked in a box.

"We'll give those out," He dismissed the toys as if they were nothing.

"They're still in perfect condition," I argued.

"They're old,"

I clicked my tongue. "You or I don't have a say in these. They belong to Reina. Only she has the right to decide with them,"

He didn't respond to that. Instead, he repeated the question he asked m earlier. What's going on between you and

"Why is that any of your business? You should learn to stay Є away from my issues. The faster, the better,” "Nibbles, you do realize you belong." I interrupted him "Where's my room? No one here would assign a room towithout your your consent "That's because you would be sleeping in my room," Did I just hear him right? 2/3 O 13:00 Tue, May 28 Ei MM X
