A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Angela’s POV 

“Then why did you leave? Why didn’t you come searching for me?” I placed my head on his chest. 

“I didn’t know you left this pack. I thought you were here. I tried for so many years to come back but my father didn’t grant me permission to enter the pack. I sent thousands of voicemails to your phone. I thought you heard them. You even sent back a text once, telling me to never call you or text you again,” 

My head sprang up in surprise. “I didn’t leave with my phone. I left my phone in your little apartment when I left,” 

He placed his head lightly on my shoulder. “I know. I saw it in my father’s office after I came back,” 

“What? Your father took my phone,” 

“And also told me you already moved on with your life. I wanted to come back for you after I took over the pack. I was going to your house to find you but then I saw you on the road that day and I knew there was no way I would let you out of my sight again,” 

When I thought Darius had given up on me, he was actually still full of hope. 

“You’re a horrible person,” I declared. 

“I’m sorry I left and broke your heart, my angel. I’m sorry you had to go through all those terrible things because of me,” 

“Do you regret leaving?” 

His forehead placed on mine, he whispered. “No, I don’t regret leaving you,” 

What the f*ck! I pushed at his chest trying to push him away from me but he didn’t buldge. He grabbed my hand, holding me down before he placed his lips on mine. I bit down on his lips but that didn’t stop him from still k*ssing me. 

“Let me go, Darius,” I fought for freedom from him. If he didn’t regret breaking my heart, then being here with him was all wrong. Maybe Brit was right, I was simping for a man who didn’t need me. 

“Listen to me, baby,” I calmed a bit. 

“What else are you going to say? That you hate me?” 

“Why would I say that? I left you and I don’t regret it because if I didn’t, I would’ve lost you forever and that is the real regret. It would’ve killed me and my life would never have remained the same again,” 

“You’re not making any sense,” 

“I guess today is the day when I have to tell you everything. I’m not telling you this just to make an excuse for what I did, I’m telling you to explain why I did it because you deserve that closure, you deserve that explanation. I walked out on you with no good enough reason and that must have eaten at you for year….” 

“Get straight to the point,” 

I was impatient and the prelude he was giving me wasn’t helping. I’ve waited for five years to know he didn’t just leave me for another 

woman. 

“Some days after we found each other and we moved in together, my mother came into the pack. That was the first time in so many years. She told me about my engagement to a girl in her pack. Apparently, she and the girl’s father started the pack and they both had an agreement before we were born to get us married so the Alpha blood can continue in both lineages. I refused when she told me and for the next few days, I fought it. I tried so hard to tell her I didn’t want the marriage because I found my mate and I was so in love with her and she was the best thing that ever happened to me. My mother told me mates were irrelevant and weaknesses. I didn’t want to leave you, Angela but soon enough, I started noticing this wolf assassin around you. He was everywhere you were. That was when it became clear. I was given an ultimatum. Either I arrived at my mom’s pack for the wedding that night or I found you in cold blood that same night,” 

I was already in tears as he told the story. “I had to leave you that night because that was the only option for me. I was f*cking powerless and stupid. If I had known you left the pack, I would’ve looked for you a long time ago. I was so stupid to have believed my father when he told me my mother left the wolf assassin in this pack to get rid of you if I ever stepped into this pack. I had to get engaged to her and stay with her because I have to protect the woman I love” 

“She died?” I asked. The topic had always been sensitive for Darius and I didn’t know why. He nodded and closed his eyes.

“I wasn’t a good husband,” he started, then paused. “I wasn’t into the marriage as much as she wanted me to be. She knew my heart belonged to another woman and hers too belonged to another man who was already murdered by her family but she wanted us to work it out. Even though she was dying inside, she held up a strong front and acted as though she was fine. When she couldn’t take it anymore, I came home and I found her. She was so f*cking cold and I wondered if I’d been home that night, and not slept over at Mason’s as usual, maybe she would’ve been alive,” 

“It wasn’t your fault, Darius,” 

He scoffed. “Tell that to her brother. He still thinks I killed her and that’s why he’s trying to hurt you. He believed I took away something most precious to him and he wants to do the same to me,” 

“Reina and I would be fine,” I assured him. 

“I know,” he whispered. 

“After 

my mom died a year ago, I wanted to come here but my father wouldn’t grant me permission. I didn’t want to cause any trouble so I laid low and around last Christmas, I waited outside the gates for a few days to see if you would be among the ladies going to the other towns for Christmas shopping,” 

“No, you didn’t,” I laughed through tears, hoping he would say he was lying. 

“I’m dead serious, Angela. My men knew I was waiting for something or someone, they just didn’t know who or what,” 

My m*uth dropped open at the same time my eyes went wide. 

I’d hated him for so many years because I thought he abandoned me and Reina. I told her nothing about her father because I believed he was a horrible person to me. When all he has been doing was trying to protect me. 

“Damn! You’re crying again, baby. I didn’t say anything to make you cry,” It was because of his words that I realized I’d been in tears. 

“I didn’t know I was crying,” I cried again. 

He wiped away my tears with his finger. 

“Can I k*ss you?” He asked 

I nodded. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Right before his lips touched mine, he stared into my eyes. “If I k*ss you here, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself. I don’t want to take you on this f*cking desk although it sounds kinky but not the right thing to do here and also, I wouldn’t want to mark you in my office,” 

Wait! Did I just hear him right? 

“Mark me?” 

“I’m going all in, baby. We’ve wasted too much time and I want nothing more than to make you mine completely and let everyone see. At the same time, I can’t do that without your permission. Do you want me to?” 

I swallowed hard as I played around with my finger. I was suddenly feeling so shy. 

“Yes,” 

He smiled brightly at me. “Good! How does taking this home sound?” 

“Perfect,”
