A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret (Angela) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 441
Angela
The following morning. Azalea came into the room where I’d been with food and water. It was some Avocado with bread and honey. I took a good look at the food anil knew I wasn’t going to cat even if it was forced down my throat.
“Thank you.” I whispered. He was staring at me, maybe waiting for me to eat. I frowned and he seemed to notice that.
“It’s safe to eat, I prepared it myself” he assured me.
“Thank you but I’m not hungry,”
I told him gently. I would even prefer if he removed the food from my presence.
“You should eat. You have to,” he sternly said before he headed for the door.
A new scent hit my nose and I took it in as if I’d been waiting for that scent all my life. It was refreshing and it kind of brought comfort to my life even though I was moved to tears.
Azalea whispered something to Darius before going out and he nodded before taking steps into the room. His jaw was clenched and his hands were thrown in the pocket of his trouser His eyes were everywhere but me. I kept mine fixated on his face hoping I would get a glimpse of him when he looked at me but nothing, he didn’t spare me a glance.
“Reina asked about you this morning. She said she wouldn’t go to school unless she saw you first. I’m guessing she sensed something wasn’t right,” he mentioned. He was pacing the room. Darius was never like this. I don’t want to believe he was anxious or nervous about something.
Although his pace wasn’t quick, it was calculated and regal.
“Maybe I can talk to her on the phone if you’d let me I suggested
He hummed. He was calmer and more collected than the last time I saw him. Two nights ago, he was mad, and controlling his beast from taking over.
“That doesn’t appeal to me,” he began talking. “I would rather release you, Angela, for the sake of our daughter,”
“I would prefer you listen to my side of the story rather than release me from here. I can talk to Reina and tell her that I the pack for a few days,”
“Another day, another *ucking lie. You don’t want to stop at just lying to me alone but now, you want to lie to Reina,”
“It’s for the best” I defended my options.
“Was that what you thought when you agreed to flee the pack with your lover and my child?” He asked. One of his hands was out of his pocket now. I could see the lines brooding on his forehead.
“He’s not my lover. He’s my friend,”
I argued.
He was my friend! I don’t know why he would lie about something like that to Darius. Why would he confess to Darius that I wanted to leave the pack with him? Why would he make Darius think I gave him the password to the safe? A safe that I didn’t even know fcking existed A st*pid document that I didn’t even know what it contained.
“Stop lying!” He growled. “The more you lied, the worse you’re making the entire situation become,”
I laughed bitterly. I’d been slapped, I’d been thrown in jail and I been kicked within the last twenty-four hours but

“Even if you have the truth staring at you right in front of your eyes, you would never believe me, Darius. You never believed me,” I informed him. There was no need to try to prove my innocence in all these. It was useless.
“Faith and belief come from physical evidence. Even if he’d lied about those things. I saw you packing up yours and Reina’s bags with my very eyes. Should I believe I saw wrong?” He asked.
I shook my head. He really did see me packing up but I wanted to leave so as to save my daughter not even me.
“I wanted to leave to keep Reina safe,” I informed him.
“From what exactly?”
“From you,” I whispered. I could see the veins in his neck protruding. He cracked his neck and moved away from me at a quick pace.
He was furious.
“You think I’m dangerous for Reina”
Before I saw his father again, I thought he was dangerous for my child but the moment I saw his father, I realized he was truly dangerous and it was even beyond a thought.
“I know you are. Charles told me…..
He interrupted me by hushing me. “I don’t want to hear his name. Don’t you ever mention his name in my presence. Angela”
At the end of every statement he’d made that morning, my heart leaped at the prospect of him calling me Nibbles like he used to do but my heart crushed when my name came out of his lips with disgust every time.
“I can’t tell my side of the story without mentioning his name,”
I argued.
“Your side of the story is also something I don’t want to hear about. Spare me the details, Angela. I don’t want to know it,” answered.
There was an error silence in the room for the next few seconds. He didn’t say a word and I didn’t say anything too. All filled the room were unspoken words and his delicious scent.
How can I want him and hate him at the same time?
“I’ll get you released for Reina’s sake. Just know that from this day henceforth, she’s the only tie that binds us together. Aside from that, you’re a stranger to me now. I don’t want you anywhere near me except when you’re with Reina. I’ll try to act civil with you when she’s there and when she’s not, you and I have nothing to do with each other,”
His words stung like a scorpion. I could feel my breath rising and I knew it would take a second before those tears came rushing down my face. I bit down on my tongue, trying to stop myself from crying.
I zoned out of every other thing he said. It was too painful to listen to him. Too painful.
“If that’s what you want,” I whispered several seconds after he was done talking.
“What about Charles? I asked him.
He hesitated. “He has been banished from the pack and never would he set his foot here again,”
He replied.

He flung open the door, ready to walk out. He stopped all of a sudden and said, “It’s shocking how you still manage to care
about him till the end,”
As he walked out and closed the door behind him. I took a deep breath and that was all it took for the hot tears to begin spilling out of my eyes.
I couldn’t stop crying even when Azalea came into the room to set me free.
