Angela
“Mom, do you think it’s possible that Dad’s still alive somewhere I asked my mom. She looked at me with maybe pity and worry. We just finished having our dinner and Reina was already sleeping on my lap.
Your father is dead. I felt it right here,” she pointed to her heart
Their mate bond must have broke after he took his last breaths and I knew that shit was as painful as f*ck.
“Sorry, I asked,” it was s*upid having such a pathetic hope. I shouldn’t have asked her something like that when I knew just had she was struggling to get out of the heartbreak.
She smiled at me. That’s fine, Angela. Why did you ask anyway?
I saw Darius father and I thought maybe my father would be alive as well.
That was the reply I wanted to give her but I shook my head and decided against it. Knowing that secret was enough to get me killed and telling someone I know might actually get me killed.
“I was just curious.” I replied and gave her a sad smile. We still hadn’t talked about what happened. I’m sure Darius filled her in on it and I’ve been waiting all day for her to ask but she didn’t
“Talking about curiousity, why did you plan on running away again, Angela?” My mom asked.
I took a deep breath. She finally asked me what I’d been waiting for.
“You fed me with lunch and dinner so I could feed you with some information, I joked. She even made me relaxed
“I’m a mother. I’ve got tricks underneath
this sleeve.
She showed me the sleeve of the shirt she was wearing and I smiled bitterly
“Charles told me some things about Darius and I thought it would be safer for Reina if we left;”
as well.
She signaled at me. We both left Reina sleeping in front of the TV and walked to the kitchen. She didn’t want us to wake
up.
“What things?”
I didn’t want to tell my mom Charles told us someone wanted us dead. That might scare her out of her wits. She already lost her partner, and the thoughts of losing her child and grandchild might kill her.
“How dangerous Darius was and how that could affect us, especially Reina,”
“And you believed him,” she asked.
I shrugged I shouldn’t have “Believing him was s*upid,”
“No, it wasn’t. You and Charles have been friends since you were two years old. I would believe him. I’m just curious as to why you didn’t talk to Darius about it rather than just agreeing to leave.
“Everything isn’t as easy as it looks, Mom”
“I know but I trust you. Not to make the right decision at all times but to be strong for Rema. It’s perfectly fine to be weak as well, to ask for help too. That’s not you being weak, that’s you being strong

“I don’t understand you, I whined.
“Next time when you hear something like that, talk to Darius. Like you said, everything isn’t as easy as it looks,”
“You didn’t like Darius back then and it seemed as if you’re telling
me to rely
yon him now,”
She nodded. “I’ve been seeing things differently lately, Angela. Darius is not who we think he is,”
“He’s worse,” I finished the statement for her.
She laughed. “He is but in a positive way. He tackles problems in a barbaric manner but it’s not the way you think it is. Angela. We should learn to trust him.”
“You’re speaking in parables, I mumbled.
“And it’s about time for you guys to go home,”

Reluctantly, I said goodbye to my mom and my mom said goodbye to the sleeping Reina. I carried her in my arms as we walked home. It was almost eight at night. The pack wasn’t usually silent at this time. The kids were outside under the moon listening to tales from an adult.
Some of the adults were out as well in groups, drinking, talking, and playing all sorts of games.
The pack was well technologically advanced and with the path Darius was taking, it would even get better but the members weren’t ready to let go of some of their mannerisms and I appreciate and respect that about them.
They love spending time under the full moon, basking in its glory while sharing old tales about other werewolves who once existed in other realms.
I would’ve loved to sit and listen but I had a sleeping child in my arms and a few glares coming from people.
I got closer to the Alpha’s mansion and saw two guards keeping watch. I said a simple hello to them so I could go in but they blocked my path.
“You’re not allowed in,”
I frowned. “Excuse me?”
“Alpha Darius instructed us not to let you in,”
I scoffed. He didn’t only walk me out of his house but also banned me from coming in. I wasn’t as surprised as I was
supposed to be. A part of me warned me about the possibility of this happening and I totally ignored it.
“I just want to go in and pack my things,”
Tasked.
“I’m sorry but you can’t go in,”
“The f*ck? Are you guys kidding me? I need my things,” I yelled
They ignored me Before I could yell again, I felt a short tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Azalea.
And Darius
He walked past 1 and Reina into the house as if we were nothing As if we meant nothing to him. I could feel a hard squeeze in my heart.
“You should follow me. Azalea ordered. I was seeing more of the guy than I’d done since I came into tContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“To where? Why?” I asked in one breath.

“Your new place. Alpha Darius instructed me to take you there. Your things have been moved to the place and I can’t seem to answer the question as to why you’re going there,”
“We’re being thrown out of the house in the middle of the night)
“It’s just eight, Azalea whispered as if trying not to annoy me.
That still didn’t
didn’t stop me from glaring at him. He could have senta text or given us a heads-up about this during the day.
We arrived at the new apartment. It was a penthouse on one of the pack houses, the one closer to the administration office. Azalea opened the door for us and gave me the key as well.
“Goodnight,”
“Can you give a note to Darius?”
“I’m not sure he’ll read it, he answered sincerely. “but I’ll try.”
“Thanks,”
1 picked up a pen and a paper piece. I wrote on the note the information I’d pondered on telling him about Reina finding out he was her father.
“Here, I gave it to Azalea.
“I swear to get this to him,”
“It’s not that important,”
“Everything about you is important to him,”
