Chapter 72
Angela’s POV
While we were at the mall, something strange happened. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I turned back but no one was there. I looked around for a few more seconds but to my dismay, no one was interested in who we were or what we were doing. I took it off my mind and blamed it on what happened earlier.
We soon went to the movies. Reina had a really good time. You could see the smile on her face and the way she sang along in a loud voice. The Warrior Darius sent with us kept a minimal distance away from us but his eyes never left
- US.
As we left the cinema, we walked into a kid’s boutique to shop for some clothes for Reina. I turned around again as I felt like I was being watched. I saw a man standing right outside the boutique staring at me in particular. He was wearing a brown hat and of course, a long flannel jacket. Immediately our eyes met, he looked away.
“He’s creeping you out too, right?” Brittany, who hadn’t said a word to me since we left the pack suddenly whispered.
“What?” I asked with a frown.
“I saw him outside the cinema earlier. He creeps me out, I swear,”
She went back to Reina and helped her pick another dress. The Warrior with us saw my distress and walked up to man to ask who he was but before he could get to him, the man walked away.
As we were about to pay for the dresses, the warrior brought out a black card and gave it to me.
“What’s this?” I asked him.
I’m sorry I’m giving you this late. Alpha Darius told me to give this to you before I came to meet you at the gates,”
the
I stared at the card for a long time, thinking if I should take it from him or not. Reluctantly, I collected it but dropped it in my purse. I used my card to pay for the dresses.
We went for a quick late lunch at a restaurant before heading home. Reina couldn’t eat much because she wanted to go home as soon as possible and I was also too scared to stomach anything. Brittany on the other hand kept swallowing anything that came her way. I couldn’t stop staring at her and she kept on shrugging and giving me the stink eye.
“You should try to eat less. You might get indigestion,” I suggested on our way back to the pack.
“You should try to eat more. You’re so thin you can disappear the next minute,”
I still don’t know why my parents decided to give birth to Brittany. I love her but half the time, I want to kill her. “You weren’t at Dad’s funeral,” I mentioned.
She looked away from the window and stared at me. “I came later that night. I couldn’t make it earlier because of school,”
“School?”
I asked. I had no idea about what was going on in Brittany’s life.
“A University in Southampton. Biology sciences. I’m aiming to research on how a werewolf can become full human,” and she giggled.

I couldn’t smile back. I knew she was kidding and at the same time, I couldn’t bring myself to believe my sister was actually in the University. I didn’t even know that simple fact and I called myself her sister.
*Congratulations, Brit, I didn’t know that
“Yeah, how would you?” She smirked at me, then tapped the driver on the shoulder to drop her off at Mom’s place
She said her goodbyes to Reina who was already half asleep even though it was six in the evening and totally ignored
ine.
By the time we got home, I was surprised to find the house dark. Reina was in my arms and I struggled to turn on the light but right before I could succeed, someone else beat me to it,
It was Darius. He was inside the house. Before I could question his reason for staying in the dark, he moved away from my line of vision and I gasped.
Reina stared awake in my arms and I had to put her down before she could jump off.
Darius had decorated the house and right there, in the dining area was the birthday cake Reina requested.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Princess cake, Reina jumped excitedly.
I was super marveled at the decorations and the dinner too
“Do you like it?” Darius asked Reina.
“I love it so much. Thank you, Daddy, Reina k*ssed Darius on the check.
“You’re welcome,”
“Thank you, Darius,”
I whispered and k*ssed him. “Anything for my girls?
He pulled out the chair for Reina and stopped me before I could pull out the chair for myself.
“Let me do the honors,”
I laughed.
We enjoyed the dinner while Reina talked to Darius about how her day went. She didn’t leave anything out and kept on asking me to join the discussion even though I didn’t want to interrupt.
After d
dinner, Reina didn’t want to go upstairs and leave her Princess cake behind. I had to persuade her several times that the cake wouldn’t get stolen. She finally agreed and I took her upstairs to get her ready for bed. Before her head could touch the pillow, she was out like a light.
I went back downstairs to see Darius and the warrior who had accompanied us out talking. Darius had cleared out the table so there was really nothing much left for me to do.
“You’ve been incredibly silent, My Angel, he held my face and k*ssed my forehead: “What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”
I shook my head. “It’s not you. It’s me,”
He pulled me close and that was when my tears started flowing and I began to cry.
“I feel like a terrible daughter, sister, and mother. I wasn’t there for my mom, I don’t even know a thing about my

sister and I f*cking couldn’t afford a stupid princess cake for my daughter,”
Darius didn’t say a word. He kept on holding me as I cried. Soon after, he began saying some really soothing words that got to me.
When he saw that I’d stopped crying, he said. “You’re perfect, Angela, You’re doing your very best and that’s okay. You also have all the time in the world to make up for lost times. Just take it easy and slow,”
“Thanks, Darius”
“When will I get to hear you call me your Darius again?”
I stared at him. I was tongue–tied and I quickly said, “We saw a weird man at the mall today,”
He smirked. “The warrior told me. For the time being, you and Reina are not allowed anywhere outside the pack. I can’t afford either of you getting hurt. Even within the pack, you’re to be accompanied by a warrior,”
“What? Someone has to be at my back every minute, watching my every step. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“It isn’t. It’s the best decision. I want both you and Reina safe. hiding something.”
“What?” I spat
I wouldn’t have a problem with that unless you’re
“If you have nothing to hide, you wouldn’t be so disturbed about having a bodyguard,”
What the f*ck! I punched him on the back.
“What the f*ck are you insinuating?”
I yelled.
“Nibbles…” he growled. His eyes were suddenly pitch dark and a sudden coldness descended on the room. His breathing was heavy. It was obvious that his wolf had appeared.
“Stay away from me. Don’t f*cking come near me,”
I rushed into my room and locked the door behind me. Darius had turned into the monster he always talked about and no, I’m not capable of handling it.
It scared me.
