A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Darius

She hates me now!

Once I left the gym, I took a quick shower. My bones were sore from hitting the punching bag for hours. Sleep eluded me all through the night and the best way to let go of the memory lurking behind the door of my brain was to hit the gym or find. someone to beat up.

As I walked down the stairs, I could hear Reina giggling. That sound was my second favorite in the world. She was laughing. at something or maybe someone was telling her a joke. I was curious to know what was getting her all happy so early in the morning. By the time I got to the foot of the stairs, I realized it was her and Nibbles. They were both laughing at something Nibbles was playing on her phone. Reina was dressed already in school uniform, ready to leave.

“Good morning, Uncle D.” Reina was first to spot me. The light it her eyes shone brightly and a large smile graced her lips. I’ll never understand how a child can be so happy to see someone they just met. She would definitely be the end of me if Nibbles doesn’t. Her smile was the same as that of Nibbles.

“Good morning, Reina. Slept well?”

“Perfect,” She answered, throwing the heart sign she just made with her fingers at me.

“New word?” I hummed. She pointed to the screen of the device Nibbles was holding. So I guessed that was where the new word was coming from.

Reina’s brilliance and intelligence were astonishing. She never stopped yearning to learn new words.

“Mama, Uncle D is here,” Reina touched Nibble’s face so she could look up at me but she didn’t. I knew she was very well aware of my presence, what transpired between us last night caused a bigger rift and I was all over my head trying to find a way to bring us even closer than before.

“Morning, Nibbles,” I decided to acknowledge her first. She lifted up her head for the first time that day and our eyes met but it didn’t last for more than a second. She looked away again and focused on the device.

I’d never been jealous of an innate object but I wished I was that device. I wished she looked at me with so much a well. *ck! I fisted my palm and gritted my teeth. I almost turned into a puddle when she looked at me the second eyes locked in for a few seconds. Her eyes reminded me of almonds and honey. Calm, attractive, and *ucking beau could stare at her all year long and not get tired of those beautiful eyes.

“Hmm,” She hummed.

“Why don’t you let Daisy take Reina to school while you and I continue our discussion from yesterday,” I suggested but goddess knew it was a plea. I was desperate for her attention. I knew I was supposed to attend to other matters around the pack but they could all perish, for all I care. As long as I have Nibbles here with me, everything else can fade away and 1- won’t bat an eye.

“No, thank you. I can take Reina to school myself and I also don’t want to talk to you too,” She answered. She had always been cautious about her choice of words around Reina. That morning was different

“I wouldn’t take too much of your time,” I bargained.

“I don’t even want to stand in the same place as you for two seconds. Your presence here is already suffocating me and also, we don’t have anything we should be discussing.”

Her words were like daggers piercing through my heart with each one being released from her mouth. Although it hurts, I smirked. “Are you sure we have nothing to discuss?”

“Not now,

not ever,

I nodded. “Good! Remember you said this, Nibbles. Remember you used those specific words ‘not now, not ever When things get dark, don’t come running to me,”

Reina was staring at us the entire time, the poor girl could probably feel the tension in the air and she couldn’t help to pretend it wasn’t happening. I bent down to my knees to her level to talk to her but she surprised me by throwing her hands around my neck and hugging me.

“Are you okay, Uncle D?” She asked, her words draining some unexplainable emotions from me..© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Yes Ree, I’m good,”

I wanted to assure her that everything was fine but instead, she ended up comforting me.

“You should get to school,” She nodded. I she looked up at Nibbles who took her hand and walked them both out of my place.

As I watched them leave, I hoped My Angel would look back for once but she didn’t till they were out of the door. I forced out a deep sigh of relief.

“Alpha Darius,” A new voice called from behind me. I turned to see it was Daisy. She swung her arms right on mine and smiled sheepishly at me.

“Do you need anything?” I asked.

She shook her head. Daisy was an important person to me. She was a *oddaughter to my late wife, and before she died, she asked me to take care of Daisy. I was more surprised to find out she was from my father’s pack than at my late wife’s request

“Do I get to spend the day with Reina? I miss her and Angela is not giving me any chance,”

I gave her a reassuring smile. “You should pick her up from school and take her out. I’ll talk to nib-I mean Angela”

“Thank you, Alpha Darius,” She dropped a quick peck on my cheek and happily bounced away. Daisy was innocent, fragile and has the biggest heart. She hated it when people around her were sad. When we first met, I tried my possiblo ignore her but slowly, she warmed her way into my heart.

I also left the house to attend to the most important matter of the day. Meeting Charles. The Nightshade cell r almost like a dungeon. It was dark, creepy, and sinister, the exact and perfect way that I loved it.

“Did you manage to keep the news of his arrest under control?” asked one of the warriors guarding the room. It one of my most trusted warriors who came with me when I took over.

“It’ll take a few more hours before they notice he’s missing. Enough time to kill and bury a man,” He answered with

“More than enough time to torture, kill, and bury a Beta and it’ll be f*cking worth it,”
