Chapter 60
Angela’s POV
“Hello Brit,”
I sang. My sister, Brit, took a look at me, rolled her eyes, and walked away from the door,
“I heard you were back in the pack and I didn’t believe it. It’s real, you’re finally here,”
She folded her hands against her chest and scrutinized me.
“Of course. It’s been a long time. I’m guessing it’s good to see you again,”
She shook her head. “I don’t like your face,”
I grinned. That was one of her most famous insults that was reserved for me.
“You should. We look so alike that if you hate my face, you practically hate your face,”
She clicked her tongue. “That’s exactly why I hate your face,”
I took a seat and relaxed into the chair waiting for her to join me. I wasn’t expecting a jovial welcome from her but at the same time, I wasn’t expecting any hostility either.
“You’re okay, right?”
She asked, her tone changing to something more serious.
I pouted, “Aww, she’s been worried about me,”
She rolled her eyes and took a seat opposite me. “Can I give you my middle finger? Am I old enough to do that shit now?”
She asked Mom who just came out of bed and walked into the living room. I wanted to ask her about life. How has she been? What she had been up to? But I couldn’t because I knew I lost the privilege to be her sister.
“Yes, Brittany,” my mom replied begrudgingly before heading for the pot of coffee on the table. Brit looked at me and gave me the middle finger.
“I didn’t know you would be here so early, Angela,”
I took a deep breath. “Needed to get out of the house,”
After dropping Reina off at school, I really didn’t have anywhere else to go and the thought of going back home annoyed me. It wasn’t because of anything else or maybe anyone else other than Darius Darkwood.
Early this morning, around dawn, my eyes fluttered open to see Darius about to leave. I grabbed his hand, hoping he would
stay.
“You should get some sleep,” he had said.
I shook my head, disagreeing. I’d barely seen him the past two weeks. I wanted him to stay for a little while. We had to talk about ‘us‘ that was even if ‘us‘ existed.
“Stay for breakfast,” I urged him.
He crawled back into bed and kissed my forehead. Just when I thought he wanted to stay, he slipped out of the bed again.
I groaned.
He smirked. “I’ll see you tonight just immediately after the curfew,”
“Why can’t you stay now?”
“Daisy is not feeling well. I need to see her before heading out to the office,”
Fuck! That triggered something dangerous in me. I was so pissed off at him. I wanted to scream.
He cupped my face. “I already told you how important she is to me,”
“Fuck you! Fuck Daisy!” I pointed in his face.
“Nibbles,” he whispered.
“Don’t come back tonight. Stay at the Alpha’s mansion with Daisy,”
Ispat and looked away from him.
“Ill be back soon, alright?”
He kissed my temple. I slapped his hand off my face.
“Don’t you dare fucking come back. Ever!”
My sister tapped my shoulder and that pulled me out of my train of thoughts.
“Earth to Angela. It’s too early to be so deep in thought,”
“Maybe I’m thinking of ways to get rid of you,”
“You wish. Where’s she?”
“Where’s who?”
“My niece,”
“She’s at school,”
“Can I see her now?”
1 frowned, “What’s with the rush? I have to tell her about you
first before
you
meet her.”
“I can’t believe you never mentioned me to your daughter,”
“Life doesn’t revolve around you, Brittany,”
“And it doesn’t revolve around you either, Angela. You left without looking back. I begged you to stay. I’d never asked you for anything and the one time I did, you told me to my face that I looked stupid begging and you wished I was never born. You left after you said those words,”
The day I was about to leave the pack, I met Brittany. She begged me not to leave. I had to tell her horrible things just to make her let me leave. Immediately I turned my back on her that night, I cried till I got to the next town. I hated myself for so many years because of the things I said to her.
“Is it an apology you want?” I asked her. I was ready to grovel for her to forgive me.
“No! I don’t want anything from you. You’re just a piece of trash to me now,”
My mom gasped and tried intervening but it was too late. Brit left for her room and I also took my leave. There was no need to wait behind again. I would come back another day to apologize to her but for today, I should give her the space she needed.
I returned home after stopping at the library to get some books. They were mainly romance novels and James Patterson’s Women Murder Club series. I got some snacks and fruit as well. I settled in my room and got busy with the really steamy romance novels I got.
All of a sudden I heard voices. Hurried voices and footsteps rushed into the house. I stopped reading, dropped the book on a table, and rushed out of the room.
I could see some Azalea and some pack warriors. I walked down the stairs and went straight to Azalea. He was covered in blood and he looked defeated more than wounded.
“What’s going on?” My voice got his attention. He looked at me and his eyes went wide.
I shifted my gaze from him and saw the door of the room downstairs open with a number of warriors standing outside.
Where’s Darius?” I asked him.
“I’m sorry, Madam,”
“What?”
“I couldn’t protect him. I was so stupid to have allowed him to follow us there. We thought we could detonate the bomb before it went off but we were wrong,”
He was saying a lot of things but he wasn’t making sense.
“Azaleal Where’s Darius?”
I asked again. I didn’t need any of the explanation he was giving him.
He answered by pointing to the door of the only room downstairs. The same one occupied by Darius.
I moved closer and my eyes fell to the floor. Blood trailed right from outside the house to that room. My heart hammered and
I felt a dull ache in my chest. As I walked into the room, tears rushed down my face, I covered my mouth with my palm to suppress the scream that was threatening to rip out of my throat.
I saw Darius and I fell to the ground. I know I asked him not to come back but I didn’t ask him to come back in this state.
