Chapter 3
Angela
Standing in the same room with the man who broke my heart made my wolf restless. We were breathing the same air against my wish but I had no choice. I have to leave this place tonight.
“Angela,” he whispered, his eyes boring into mine. He stood tall, his height accentuating a strength that hadn’t dimmed over the years. His muscles were evenly defined beneath the fabric of his shirt. I found myself captivated by his eyes, those eyes, God! They held the memories of shared times and I found myself getting soaked in those moments.
Snap out of it! I shook my head, regaining my senses.
After I left the gate. I didn’t find him where I had seen him earlier but I saw the Beta and he told me he was in the Alpha’s
office.
“Darius,” I answered back. I had to bite down on my tongue to stop myself from calling him “my
Darius
“I need to leave this pack. I demanded. I wasn’t here to beg or negotiate with him. He was standing behind his desk, watching me with those eyes. I looked everywhere else except at him.
“Why?” He asked.
“I want to leave! I’m not here to share reasons or leave explanations for you. I want to leave and you need to pick up your sh*tty office phone and call those as*holes at the gates..”
He stared at me in astonishment and suddenly shrugged. “I need an answer. If I don’t hear one, you’re staying here,” he answered.
I scoffed at his audacity as he took a seat back on his st*pid, expensive mahogany chair. Everything about him pissed me off;
Even though I didn’t owe him any explanation, I still didn’t have a choice other than to give him one. For an important sake for the sake of the secret child that I left at home, I needed to go back.
“I came in this morning with no intention of staying and I need to go back,” He nodded slowly repeatedly as if he could make sense of what I had just said.
“Let me know something, Angela. Does your mom know you’re leaving?”
“My family is none of your f*cking business, Darius, I need just one thing from you and I believe I already made mysel
clear,”
“Fine! Here’s a permission slip, I need your mother’s signature on it before I let you leave,”
What!
Why did I come here? Why didn’t I just stay back! I collected the slip from him and realized it needed two signatures. His and my mom’s.
“Sign it first,” I gave it back to him.
“Why should I?”
“I don’t want to come back here and see your face again”
“I understand you hate me, Nibbles but you’ll have to see this face again today,”
“What!”

Chapter 3
“Since you’re not a member of this pack, you need to get your mom to sign that and come back,”
“I’m not a child. I don’t need my mother to sign something st*pid for me to leave. This is kidnapping. You’re holding me here against my wish,”
Before I could complete my sentence or blink, he was right in front of me. How did he do that?
He took a step and I took one back. He took two steps, I took three and it continued that way, until my back was against the door. His eyes were holding mine still and I couldn’t look away from him.
“If I’m kidnapping you, Nibbles, you’ll know. You’ll be tied up in my room, to my bed, naked, while I find something better to do with that crazy mouth of yours, leaning closer, he whispered to my ear. “Get your mother’s signature and come back to talk to me.”
He suddenly opened the door. My heart was racing like crazy and my legs were shaking. Glaring angrily at him, I walked out of his office.
His Beta was waiting outside the door with a high smirk on his face. I didn’t know if he was waiting for me or Darius but when he walked into the office, I got my answer.
Soon, I arrived home and found my mother in the kitchen.
“Angela, what took you so long?” She asked. “I’m making dinner. You should go upstairs and clean up, your old room is just as it was,” she happily sang. How can she be so happy when her mate just died? I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and remained focused on my personal matter.
“I can’t stay here!”
Her hand stopped filling the plates with food as she turned to me.
“What?”
“Here, sign this. Apparently, I need your permission to leave this place,”
“What?”
I shrugged. I’m leaving and I need you to sign this so I can leave I repeated.
“You just got here today,” she answered with disbelief in her eyes
“Yes! And I’m leaving today. What do you want from me, Mom? To sit and act as if everything is fine. As if the last tim talked wasn’t a year ago. To act as if dad wouldn’t give two f*cks that I’m in his house,”
“What happened to you, Angela? You’ve changed, you never used the F word before,” I took in a deep breath. “Please sig begged. That was my last resort.
She shook her head. “I can’t sign that. No! I won’t sign it. Unless you stay here for two days, then, I’ll consider signing it,”
What the f*ck is wrong with everybody in this da*ned Pack?
“Please, mom. You have to sign this, you need to sign it,”
“Do you hate me so much you can’t stand me for two days?”
My mother was stubborn. Proudly stubborn.
isn’t about that. Yes, I hate you, I hate myse
“It and I hate everything but this isn’t about you or me. I need to leave, please, please. I can’t afford to miss that flight,”

My desperation probably got to her because she stopped for a minute to look at me. The tears that I didn’t know I’d been holding, dropped from my eyes and I quickly cleaned them off.
“What’s wrong, Angela? Did Darius hurt you again?”
Shit! What the f*ck is she talking about now?
I took a deep breath before saying my next words.
“I have a child waiting for me. I can’t afford a nanny, and that child is waiting for me at home alone, scared and probably hungry so I’m begging you with everything, to sign…” I didn’t complete my sentence when my mother snatched the paper away from me and quickly signed it.
We both stared at each other for a while and I could see the thousands of questions lingering in her eyes.
“Later, I promised honestly and she nodded.
Rushing back to the Alpha’s office, I didn’t bother to knock, I rushed in and dropped the slip on his table with a loud thud.
It was getting late and I needed to leave immediately.

“Sign it, Darius,” I couldn’t even bother about the two others who were in the room. My focus was on the a*shole in
“No! No one is allowed to leave this pack until I’m done with the investigation regarding the death of the late Alphia, your father, and the rest.”
He lied to me! That b*stard lied to me again and I st*pidly believed him.
