A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Angela

I looked around the house to see it was desolated and hasn’t been used in a long while. The entire space screamed ghost. The furnitures in the house were covered with white sheets while the stairs leading to the bedrooms were covered in dusts. I turned on the other lights in the living room.

I removed the sheet from one fo the furnitures I presume would be a couch. It was a sofa. I gently placed Reina on the sofa while I removed the sheets from the other furnitures. I bundled the sheets together and threw them in a corner.

I ran my hands through my hair and took a deep breath even as I stared at the ceiling. The house was abandoned just like us. How on earth did Darius decide to throw us out of his house to a place like this because of Daisy?

A bitter laugh graced my lips. I opened one of the doors dorectlys opposite me and I turned on the light to see it was a kitchen. It was of large size, almost the same as the one in Darius mansion. I removed the sheets from the appliances as well. There were some bottled water in the fridge. I powered it up, hoping at least some appliances would work. They all worked. I was grateful for at least that one thing. The best and available option for me was to go back to my mom’s place but I didn’t want her getting worried about us,

We’ll survive! Even if it’s just for tonight. I’ll do anything to make sure Reina is safe. A little part of me believed Darius would turn up tonight but a bigger part of me knew he was done with us. There was no way Darius would come here.

He hates me now! He wouldn’t even let me tell my own part of the story.

I returned to the living room to see that Reina was up. She was confused, looking around the room with tears filled her eyes. As her eyes landed on me, she let out a sad smile.

“Mama,”

I quickly rushed to her side. “Hey baby. Were you scared?” I asked

She touched my face so gently it melted my heart before she nodded.

“I thought you left,”

I was shocked to hear that. “No baby. Why would I leave you? I would never do that, okay?”

She stared at me. “Aunt Daisy said you’ll leave,”

I gritted my teeth. That bi*ch must have visited her at school. “She was kidding. I’m sure she was trying to prank you,”

I didn’t bother asking her when Daisy told her this. I was more worried about the other things that Daisy or anyone else had told her that she wasn’t telling me.

I held her gently by her shoulder. “Listen, baby, I want you to understand that you can talk to me about anything. You can ask mama about something you heard and trust me, I’ll always be here for you, okay?”

She nodded while grinning.

“Okay, mama,”

“Where’s this place?” She asked, looking around.

“I guess it’s our new place,”

I’m glad id already removed the white sheets before she woke up. That would’ve scared her.

Just us

She asked, looking at me with enthusiasm.

“Yeah. Just us 1 replied with disaapountment laced in my voice,

“It’s cool, she suddenly complimented.

I wanted to disagree with her on that. There’s nothing cool about this place. It’s abandoned and I’m sure the pack members. has one ghost story about the house or two.

“Maybe

She looked at me and laughed.

“What?” I asked.

Im not telling, mama,”

“You have to tell. You just promised to tell me anything.

I pinned her down on the sofa and she started laughing. I tickled her gently, making her scream and laugh,

“Not…” she whizzled. “Going.” she screamed. “To tell..”

I suddenly stopped, acting as if I was dissaponted. She sat up to stare at me. “Really? Fine. Then, I’ll become a snuggle.

monster.

me

I growled lightly and proceed to attack her with kisses and smoochies all over her body. She laughed and kicked at me with those tiny, cute legs of hers.

“Mama, stop,”

That was our safe word. If she doesn’t want something she just has to say stop.

“What?”

She turned and pointed at the door. I could see a silhouette standing outside the door. I swallowed hard wonderi what it could be. We were so far away from the city centre that calling for help might be useless since the next hou about twenty metres away.

A knock suddenly resounded on the door. Twice. I carried Reina and made her hide behind the dinning table.

“Don’t come out until I tell you to,”

She nodded.

“Mama,” she stared at her. Her eyes (child worry)

“I’m fine, baby” I assured her.

I walked to the door and the knock resounded again. Since there was no peep hole, I unlocked the door slightly and peeked outside. It was a familiar yet strange man. He reminded me of Darius even though he wasn’t Darius.

He had bundled in his hands some blankets and duvets.

“Can I come in, Angela?” I frowned as my

y name slipped out of his mouth.

“Who are you?”

“Mason, Darius’ brother. We met on a flight once,”

My eyes went wide as I finally recognized him. He was the weird guy I met on the flight back home some months ago.

“Yeah. Come in,”

68%

I opened the door and he came into the house. I looked over at Reina and she gave me a gentle nod. Since I didn’t give her the signal to come out, she stayed back. I still don’t know if Mason was dangerous or not.

My life could be risked but not Reina’s.

“I brought us some blankets for the night. I’m sure there are none lying around in here,”

He dropped the blankets on the couch.

“What?”

He smiled. “Hi, I’m Mason,” he repeated.

I frowned. “Yeah, you already said that,”

“Good then I’ll be staying here with you guys for tonight,

“Here?” I pointed to the floor.

“Yes, here. There are three to four rooms upstairs. We’ll take one each,”

“Okay,” I answered reluctantly.

He walked up the stairs. I signalled at Reina who happily bounchef out of her hiding spot and held my hand tightly.

“It’s okay. He’s a good person,” I assured her.

I hope I’m not wrong. I picked one of the blankets and walked upstairs as well with Reina after making sure the front door was firmly locked.

The room mason selected was open so I walked past it and choose the one next to it.

We couldn’t take a shower since our things weren’t at the apartment like Azalea said. I removed the white sheets from the furnitures as well and we laid the blanket on the bed before lying on it.

I locked the door firmly. After Reina slept off, I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. I balled up on the floor, brought my knees to my head and wrapped my hand around my legs. A loud howl came from outside, that sounded like a hurt wolf.

The tears I’d been holding in rushed out of me. Maybe it was the howling that brought me to the edge, I don’t know but all I know is that, I miss Darius.

I miss the angel he used to be and I miss the devil he is now.

I miss her like my life depended on it.
