A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret (Angela) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85
Angela’s POV
That morning, I dropped Reina off at school and rushed over to my mom’s place. She had asked me to come see her on the phone a few minutes earlier and she seemed agitated and also sounded worried.
It was two days after the Rogue King came to our gate. The news of his visit had spread around through the pack. People panicked that day and even some parents refused to let their children attend school the next day.
I didn’t bother knocking before using the spare key my mom gave me to gain access to the house. As soon as I stepped in, my mom was pacing the sitting room, her hair tied in a messy bun and I could see the eye bag under her eyes. She was exhausted.
As soon as she saw me, she heaved a deep sigh of relief and opened her palm to show me a key.
“What’s that?” I’s that?”
“I didn’t have a choice, Angela. I had to lock her up,”
1 frowned. It came as a shock to me that mom could lock Brit up.
“You locked Brit up. Why would you do something like that?”
I hurriedly collected the key from her with the intention of giving Brit the freedom I thought she deserved..
“She’s insisting on leaving the pack,” my mom answered,
I shrugged, not seeing any harm in her leaving, Brit was never a permanent resident of the pack. She had a life outside that she seemed to love. I knew my mom wasn’t that attached to Brit as well because Brit had been in college and only came home on holidays. So, why would she not want her to
leave?
“Maybe she’s going back to college,”
“No, Angela. She’s not. She dropped out of college and she’s planning on going to Heaven knows where with some guy. I only got to find out after the apartment she leased in my name sent an email, confirming the date they’ll send her luggage,”
Wait! What!
“What? She dropped out of college for a boy,”
My mother nodded. She closed her eyes in frustration, took a big breath, and struggled to sit. Brit wasn’t that type of girl. She was smart and intelligent.
“Since when has this been going on?’
“have no idea, Angela. She’s in her room. You can maybe talk to her,” she stared at me pleadingly.
I walked up the stairs to Brit’s room. It was located beside mine which was now Reina’s room. I unlocked the door and knocked before I entered.
True to my mom’s words, she had packed her bags, ready to leave. Immediately I walked into the room, she charged towards the door. I had to push her
back into the room.
“Get out of my way, Angela,” she struggled to move past me but I was like a stumbling stone.
I turned and locked the door. She lunged at me trying to collect the key from me.

“Don’t make me swallow this key, Brit. It won’t be easy but with how determined I am, I can make it happen,” I threatened.
She took a step back while sending daggers at me with her eyes. I took another quick glance at the room. Except for the luggage sitting on the bed, the room was exactly how it used to be.
“You dropped out of college. I thought you loved being in college,”
“What do you know about me? You left, Angela and you’ve not existed in my life for a long time. Why don’t you keep being invisible and mind your f**g business?
Brit had always been sharp tongued but on some days, she was a hundred percent brat. She looked as though she was in a hurry. As if her life depended on leaving.
“Are you perhaps being threatened?”
She clicked her tongue. “I told Mom everything already. You should ask her,”
“Okay, fine. Let me ask you a question, are you mates with this guy? Why are you hell-bent on dropping everything for him?”
“Because he understands me better than my own family. He sees my potential,”
“Do you think your potential is out of college? Why are you throwing everything away? You can’t even answer if he’s your mate,”
“Would that make you feel better about yourself? You left as well Angela and nobody crucified you for it,”
“And I regret it. I don’t want you to make the same mistake, Brit. You need to sit down and think if this is the right thing to do,”
“It is,” She answered stubbornly.
I folded
my hands against my chest. “You know what, invite him here. We need to be sure he’s a good guy. We don’t even know him,”
“I can only leave to go meet him. He can’t come in here. Get the hell out of my business”
“Brit? You asked me what I knew about you, right? I know you’re a smart girl who would make the right decision about her life unlike me. I made mistakes and I don’t want you to make the same. You’re mature enough to know what’s best for you. I’m not going to stop you from leaving if you want to…” I wasn’t done talking when she picked up both of her bags
but know this, you can always come back home, be it tomorrow, two days after, in three years, ten years, you can always come back,”
I opened the door and just like air, she breezed past me. I walked behind her and shook my head as soon as I saw my mom.
Tears rolled down my mom’s face. I hugged her sideways as we both watched Brittany leave the house without looking back.
“This is weird, it’s unlike Brit,” I muttered.
“Something happened to my baby girl, didn’t it?”
I assured her that would get to the root of it and find out what exactly happened.
A few hours later, I was done searching through Brit’s room for clues as to who this mysterious guy was or what had happened to her exactly. I couldn’t find anything meaningful or helpful and I decided it was time to return home.
Reina was back from school and she was with my mom in the kitchen when I left.
As soon as I arrived home, I met Darius. I hadn’t seen his face during the day for the past two days but at night, I felt him in my room. Darius who was

usually clean s h a v e n was spotting some hair and looked exhausted.
“Is everything okay?” I asked as I walked into his study after him.
“Perfect” he murmured.
“Darius, you look terrible.”
Theld his hand so he could look at me and he did.
“I know but I’ll be better. I just need a few days to fix this”
“Fix what? You can confide in me. I know something’s going on so don’t tell me it’s nothing.”

Ever since our last encounter a few meters away from the restaurant, he’s been somewhat cold and distant. He looked as though he shouldered a burden
that he could not share.
“There’s a vow ceremony in two days for new pack members. I’m busy with that. You also would have to retake your vow
“Yeah, I know but that’s not what…
“As the Luna of the pack,” he announced out of nowhere.
“What?” I asked in disbelief.
“I’ll be announcing you as the Luna,”
I dropped my hand from his arm and stepped back.
“NO!”
I shook my head frantically and ran away from the house.
