Chapter 89
Angela’s POV
My mouth dropped open slightly as soon as Darius made his announcement. I guess I was just as surprised as every member of the Pack. When he said he would be stepping down as the Alpha, I could hear a loud noise ring in my ears. I didn’t want to believe he just said that.
Maybe it was a tactic. Maybe he was kidding. He couldn’t possibly leave.
I thought he loved being an Alpha more than anything. He was made to be an Alpha. Why would he step down? Who would he step down for?
At some point, I wondered if my decision not to become the Luna influenced his choice. It made some sense, but deep down, I knew that couldn’t be the reason.
He wouldn’t do that because of me.
“Did you know about this?” My mother asked.
I shook my head as words failed me. I knew nothing about this. We haven’t talked to each other for the longest time even though it’s just been two days. It felt as though it was an eternity. He was avoiding me and I was too ashamed to show myself before him.
I thought it was better to keep being invisible, staying in the shadow for as long as he was home. I’d lied to his face that I didn’t see myself spending the rest of my life with him. It was ridiculous.
“I have to go talk to him,” I told my mom.
“You should,” she patted my shoulder.
Reina was with her, I was sure she was in good hands. I’ll pick her up later tonight so she can sleep at home. Darius had already told me he wanted us both at the same place almost every time if possible till the entire problem with Ryker is solved.
The crowd was already reducing. People were going back to their various homes. I could see Darius standing at the front, talking to some of his people. By the time I got swallowed by the loud crowd, I couldn’t see who was who not to talk of Darius.
“Angela,” someone called my name and held my hand. I turned aside to see it was Halle.
She pulled me out of the crowd and walked me to one of the corners. It was empty and I could see people leaving. That was when I could finally breathe.
“Thanks,” I muttered.
She shrugged. “It was nothing. You’re still new to things like this. Next time don’t walk forward between the crowd, just keep going straight to your left or right, and soon enough you’ll be out of the crowd. It’s overwhelming sometimes,”
I nodded. Although it’s been six years since I left the pack, we barely had meetings when I was here. On days when meetings like this were called, my father would prefer for Brittany and I to stay home.
“I should leave. Thank you for your help once more,”
She grabbed my hand again before I could walk away.

Chapter 89
“Did you hear about Darius stepping down?”
I nodded. “He just announced it right there in front of everyone, didn’t he?”
“Did you know about this before?”
I frowned. What was with the interrogation?
“What difference would it make if I knew?”
“You can make him change his mind,”
I folded my hand against my chest.
Raising an eyebrow, I asked. “Change his mind?”
“Yes. He can’t just step down and leave the pack like that,”
“Y’all hated him. If I could remember, twenty minutes ago, you didn’t want him to be the alpha of this pack,”

She smiled. “Not twenty minutes ago, Angela. My opinion about Darius has changed for a while. I understand he’s a terrible person, we both know that but he’s good for this pack. He’s a good Alpha who puts his people first and we’re learning to trust him,”
I disagreed.

“No! You don’t trust him at all. Y’all are scared shitless of Ryker and you all know the only person that can help get rid of Ryker is Darius. Keep your fake love to yourself,”
“Angela,”
“No! Don’t say a single word more, Halle. You’ve said enough before and more than enough today. Charles would be a better Alpha, wouldn’t
he?”
I asked and she couldn’t give me a response.
I walked away from her to the podium and realized Darius wasn’t there. I asked one of his warriors who told me Darius had gone back home.
By the time I arrived home, he wasn’t there either. I decided to stay at home and wait for him, instead of looking around. I wished I could use the mind link like every other werewolf. It would’ve made it easier for me to reach out to him but I couldn’t.
“I took Reina for ice cream like I promised earlier,”
