Author’s Note: I decided to narrate from the chapter onward from Darius POV. It’s about time to know what’s going through his head.
DARIUS’ POV
The low rumble of the skies and the thunder that followed signaled an incoming rain. At the same time, right behind my head, my demons were chanting, rumbling like the skies. I needed to punch something or someone hard. I needed to have a way to let go of this deadly anger before Nibbles got back home, I don’t want her to see a side of me that’ll make her hate me more. It would kill me to see her running the other way when she finally sees the true Darius Darkwood.
Years ago, I walked out of our relationship and broke the vow I made to protect her till the very end. I get where the hatred was coming from. I understand and I would hate me too if that happened to me but now, I’m ready to make it all right and perfect for her. She’s my world, the f*cking bane of my existence, and the reason why I’m able to take my next breath.
1 fisted my palm taking in the scent of the rain that was to come, thinking it would calm me down a bit before she got back.
I need to hit something. I need to kill something. I mumbled under my breath.
I told Nibbles not to go near any man and she defied my orders, I love her being feisty but when it involves another man. going as much as a few feet closer to her, I hate my existence then. Nibbles thought I stayed away for five years, she thought I didn’t look for her for five years because I didn’t care. No! I f*cking cared about her then and insanely care about her now. 1 stayed away because of my demons. I stayed away because I didn’t want her to see the monster I’d become.
When I came into the pack for my father’s funeral and saw her, I said f*ck it and threw caution to the air. The mere sight of her made my body tremble with passion. All I wanted was to claim her, mark her, mate her, and fill her with my pups. Following her out of the pack was only to find out what she had been up to for the past five years, I never expected to find out I had a child out there, living in the dangerous world I’d created without protection.
Reina’s existence was a danger to both her and her mother. If my enemies found out I had a child or a mate, they would celebrate because they finally found my weakness. Each and every day, I try my best to protect them from myself.
A car parked right in front of my line of vision and I saw Charles, the bloody Beta I gained after 1 took over this pace gow out of the vehicle and opened the door for Nibbles. They shared a hug before she took my child from the back him goodbye, and walked into the house. A low growl came from my throat.
Kill him! Destroy him!!
All I wanted to do was shift, jump through that window, and slash off Charles’ head from his neck. I heard about meeting tonight and even though it ticked me off, I didn’t know watching them act so sweet towards each other wo unleash the demon I’d trapped.
I waited like a predator for Nibbles to walk into her room before pounced on her as if she were my next meal.
“I told you Nibbles, I would f*ck up anyone who dared touch you or look your way. Now, stay there like the good girl tha you are while I announce Charles’s execution,”
I kissed her feet once I was done tying her to the bed. She struggled to break free but I smirked, knowing she was going to get exhausted. I’ve tied more people up than I’ll ever know. Just never tied up anyone I love.
“You would do no such thing. Darius,” She spat. Despite her situation, she could still fight me. Good girl! But it wouldn’t be good for her lover
I turned to me, digging my phone out of my pocket. “You looked for trouble and you found me. Deal with the consequences.”
“Darius, have you gone crazy?”

My eyes locked on hers as the word left her mouth. Her words shouldn’t hurt because of the number of times I’d heard them. Her former boss also sang that shit as well before I broke every f*cking piece of his bones and sent her a message, terminating her job with immediate effect. For f*ck sake, my father had that same question all his life.
“Well, for you love, crazy is my second skin,”
I released the tape I’d been keeping on my wrist. I lurked towards her. As if she could see what was happening, she whimpered, shaking her head.
“Forgive me. Nibbles. I have to do this because you’re distracting the fck out of me,” I taped her mouth.
Her eyes skidded to mine, drawing out every emotion that was left within me. I could hear the splatters of rain on the roof, the soil, and a thunder was released from the sky. I knew I couldn’t do that to her from the moment she walked into the
TOOM.
I took a long deep breath.
I ripped off the tape.
“You’ve gone mental, Darius. This is the most st*pid thing you’ve ever done,” She yelled immediately after the tape went off.
The rain got heavier, its noise filling up the entire room and that gave me the opportunity to scream out as well. “I F*CKING WARNED YOU, NIBBLES,
Fear flashed across her eyes as she took in my angry stance. I needed to feel Charles’ bones breaking behind the soles of my shoes. I needed to see his face battered so badly that he wouldn’t look at my woman again.
“You belong to me, get that into your skull and stop this f*cking murder spree,”
“If you kill anyone because of me, Darius, I promise to go to the next, because you don’t f*cking own me,”
I laughed hysterically, knowing her words held no truth in them “Your mouth says different but your body tells me I do,”
“You rejected me and I rejected you. It’s been five years, move on.”
She spat.
For five years, I never moved on from her not even for a minute or a tiny second. My thoughts were filled by he were inhabited by her voice and my mouth never forgot the taste of her. I just couldn’t go to her because it woul killed. It killed my mother, my supposed wife, her family, and my father, her father, and Charles’ father as well.
I can’t afford to lose her.
The moment I showed myself to her that night in the town that housed her for years was the moment I endangered he couldn’t go back there ever again. I have to make sure she keeps staying here.
“I never rejected you, Nibbles. Back then, I was supposed to accept the rejection as Darius Thorn since that was the surna I used but instead, I accepted it as Darius Darkwood, my now surname, our bond was never broken,”
