A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

“I promise to smother you in your sleep,” I threatened, hoping that would change his mind. I wished my threat would convey my anger and hatred for him.

“If you’ll smother me to death, at least do it with love. Let me have a taste of your love right before I die in your arms,”

His response caught me off guard. There are so many times, I wish I could read through his words, his expression but all I could see in his eyes was the same sincerity.

1 pointed my finger at him, and smacked my lips together as I tried to find the next set of threats that’ll get me out of this

situation.

“I’ll set your house on fire. I promise to set this place on fire while you sleep,”

“I’ll build another one. Nibbles. In fact, I’ll be sure to build two; one for you and one for me,” I couldn’t help but feel a flutter of confusion. His words created a swirl of confusion within me. Something has changed. He was supposed to threaten me back not engage in a st*pid, childish banter.

“I would rather sleep on thorns than sleep beside you,” I spat. A deep frown creased the soft skin on my face. I didn’t want him to say anything in return.

“Do you hate me that much, Nibbles?”

I sucked in a deep breath. His words tugged at my heart all of a sudden.

“What else have I been saying all these while? Yes, I hate you, Darius. What other language do you want me to say it in?”

“You do realize..”

He didn’t get to finish his words when my little angel suddenly interrupted. “Why do you hate Uncle Darius, mama?”

Shit! She heard that. How do I explain to a five-year-old that I hate her father because he’s a beast in human form? How do I tell her I hate him more than a s*upid pineapple?

“Ahm, I wasn’t talking about Darius. I was talking about somebody else, baby. Why don’t you go find your nanny?” I tri dismissing her but she held on to my hand, refusing to leave.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hello, Uncle Darius,”

“Hey, Reina. How was school today?”

“Good,” He winked at her and she giggled. He turned to me and asked, “Do we have an agreement?”

“NO! That’s my final answer,”

He nodded. “Fine, I’ll have them move your things to the room opposite mine. Will that be okay with you?”

“Thank you for being civil,”

He spread his arms wide open. “It’s what I do,”

I glared at him, knowing he was definitely lying about being civil He’s Darius. Being civil isn’t what he does.

“Don’t I get a thank you?” He asked as I walked away.

I allowed Reina to walk ahead of me before I turned and gave him the middle finger.

He ran his eyes down my body as if I was his first meal in several days before he mouthed, “I would gladly let you,”

I almost dropped to my feet at his words and how much effect they had on me. I glared at him before turning around and following Reina to her room.

I helped her to change out of her outfit and also got ready for bell. She wouldn’t stop asking a lot of questions, especially

about wolves.

“Our teacher said we were wolves,”

“Aren’t you too small to be taught those?’ I mumbled to myself. “Did she?” I asked her.

“Yes. Mama, what are wolves?”

“Werewolves, you mean,” I asked and she nodded. I thought I still had a few number of years before the questions started.

“Ahm, how about I tell you that tomorrow? Tonight, I would read your favorite bedtime story, Cinderella, what do you

think?”

“Yah!!” She screamed in excitement. I was able to fish out the books from the boxes that had arrived earlier from our old

apartment

“Once upon a time…” I continued reading to her while she beamed at me. She loved her bedtime stories and she would always listen with excitement. You could see the light in her eyes shine more brightly with each word that I read. She would struggle to stay awake so she could listen to the story to the end but every time, sleep wins that battle and that night was no different.

She fell asleep before I could finish the book. I kissed her forehead, tucked her into bed, and gently said goodnight before left her room.

It was easy to find my room since it was close to Darius, I found out earlier that he was using the old Alpha’s room. he comfortable using his dad’s room despite what happened?

How was

As I moved closer, I found out his room’s door was opened ajar. Curiosity killed the cat they said, well, curiosity might get me killed as well. I decided to take a peek into his room and I soon wished I didn’t.

Darius was standing in the middle of his room, receiving a phone call. He was wearing grey lounge pants and nothing His top was bare and his skin was so perfect and shining that running my tongue across wouldn’t be a sin. His muscle well-defined. His back was turned to me, the phone pressed to his ear. He was speaking in a language that I didn’t quit understand. Whatever he was saying was probably important.

I felt I was done being intrusive. I should leave.

“Angel!” He mumbled. It’s been so long since I heard him call me that. Still, he had no right to use that name for me. as if I didn’t hear him. Although I didn’t move from where I was, I didn’t turn to him.

“Nibbles,” That was when I turned to him.

“Is everything okay?” He was still on the call.

I nodded. “Sure,” He said something to the person on the other end of the line and ended the call.

“Do you need help with anything?”

“No, I’m good,” I turned again, ready to leave this time.

“Do you really hate me?” He asked.

Taken aback by his sudden question, I said “What!”

“Earlier when you said you hate me, was it a heat-of-the-moment statement or did you

mean it?”

I shook my head. “I don’t hate you,” He pressed his lips together to stop himself from smiling as hope flashed across his eyes. “Hating you would be a waste of energy. I just don’t have any emotions left for you. If I hate you, I’ll get to like you once that hatred is exhausted. I feel nothing for you anymore, Darius. I have nothing left in me for you or of you,”
