Chapter 32
Angela
I was breathing loudly as my heart hammered against its ribcage as if I was about to be offered as a human sacrifice. I was standing in the middle of my bathroom, hoping Darius wouldn’t hold my head and smash it against the toilet sink. I know I hate his guts but at the same time, he scares me. Not as much as when I first moved into this pack, but the fear is still there. I knew he already warned me against saying trash about his late wife and that was the only thing that made me bite my tongue and not mention his wife after that sob story sentence.
“What the f*ck do you mean by that?” He asked. My hold on the hem of the towel wrapped around my waist tightened. I swallowed hard, hoping my next words wouldn’t get me killed.
“I don’t care about whatever relationship you have with Daisy, just stop asking me st8pid questions p>
Before the last word could make it out of my lips completely, Darius grabbed me at the back of my neck. I whimpered.
“What the f*ck do you think you’re doing p>
“Do I look st*pid to you, Nibbles?” He growled. My hand pushed at his chest and I could hear the low grumbles that vibrated against his chest.
“Just leave me alone. If you’re trying to hurt me because of Daisy, you need to think twice. I can always walk out of your life and never look back p>
“Why would I hurt you, baby?” His question made me suddenly subconscious of what was happening around me. I suddenly noticed his hold on my neck wasn’t tight. Was I expecting it to be tough or was 1 so scared I believed he would hurt me?
I grabbed his hand and pushed it away from my neck. “You should leave, I’ll deal with the punishment. You should be more concerned about Diasy”
“Nibbles,” I don’t know what happened but my hormones must have thought it was spinning propeller day. I was moved to tears all of a sudden.
“Baby,” He gently coaxed. I hated being in this type of situation. didn’t even do it but who was going to believe me? Who would believe that I wouldn’t hurt someone like that? Maybe Charles would.
At the thought of Charles, I suddenly wondered if Darius had released him. “Is Charles out?” I asked him.
He was about to hug me before that question dropped from my mouth. He pushed himself away from me and scrutinized.
me.
“You’re still worried about him p>
Why shouldn’t I be? I gave up my body and my promise to rather roll with pigs than f*ck Darius to get him out of prison: “T was just wondering if he was out p>
“Maybe you should worry about yourself,” He advised but I knew I was going to come out of the situation unchartered. When I moved into Darius’ mansion with Reina, I wasn’t comfortable with anyone so 1 set up a baby cam in Reina’s room. hoping that’ll give me access to knowing what happened when I wasn’t there. It will definitely come in handy when I meet with the elders later.
“I’ll take care of myself p>
Darius held my chin, stopping me before I jumped on another train of thought. “I know you’re an independent woman and I know you’ve learned to run the world on your own and I’m f*cking proud of you for that but this time, please, let me deal with this p>

“Darius, listen p>
He placed his lips on my cheek, making me forget all that I wanted to say.

Sometimes, I want to run away from Darius, sometimes, I want to look away, sometimes I want to leave and never return but most times, I want to find warmth in his arms, I want to kiss him till the entire world fades away and all that’s left is just us two. I want to find home wrapped around his body and I want to scream to tell the world, he’s my man even when I knew he stopped belonging to me.
“Please, lean on me,” I could hear the plea in his voice.
“Okay,” I answered. I was going to trust him again like I did in the past but this time with no hope.
“I didn’t do it. I didn’t hurt her, I confessed to him.
“I knew you didn’t. I believe you,” He caressed my cheeks and dropped another kiss on my second cheek.
“You look beautiful by the way,” He said before he left the room.
1 rested my back against the sink and took a deep breath. It dawned on me that I just promised Darius that I was going to rely on him to fix this. Is there any time he had promised something and actually fulfilled his promises?
I became more careful around Darius when he lied about our matebond still being intact. That was impossible. I felt the separation and it hurt like a bad b*tch.
A few minutes later, I was done changing my outfit. I was ready to walk around the pack to see if anything would interest me till I go pick Reina up from school. As I walked down the stairs, I could see the three women, fussing around Daisy. She was eating while they all gushed about something. As soon as they sighted me, they all threw me a dirty look and turned back to Daisy.
“Is it delicious?” they asked her. She nodded. “It’s so delicious,” She answered.
“When I saw him this morning, I was wondering what the Alpha could be doing in the kitchen but he told me he was making breakfast for you since that b*tch hurt you, I can’t believe a man like Darius could be so sweet p>
“He always takes good care of Daisy. Remember the one time he wouldn’t sleep because Daisy was sick p>
“Yeah,” They all chorused.
“I’m sure he’s in love with you p>
My hand gripping the doorknob trembled.
“Don’t say that. He shouldn’t hear you saying that,” Daisy cautioned but the women laughed instead.
I must be a fool to have actually believed Darius would support me and not Daisy. F*ck me!
