Chapter 69 Angela's POV The following morning, I still couldn't get over the fact that Darius knelt in front ofand declared he was mine and mine only forever. I couldn't stop crying until he k*ssed my tears away. The moment we had was intimate and beautiful. He heldin his arms and we made love over and over again.
Marking him never occurred toand when it did, it was Darius who mentioned it but I panicked. I didn't have it into somehow mark him. I sure didn't hate or loathe him anymore but I couldn't because I was clueless as to how. We decided to do it when I was ready.
I stared at his sleepy, handsface and noticed the tiny freckles close to his nose. I'd never seen that before or maybe I just was never that close to him to notice it. His eyes were lightly shut. He was sleeping so peacefully and it was beautiful to watch. I didn't plan on waking up before him but I was grateful I did. It gavethe opportunity to stare at him and take in all of his good looks.
"You'll bore a hole in my face," he grabbedand pulledcloser to his body.
“I wasn't staring," I lied. The red spot on my ch*ek didn't support my claims though. I was blushing like a child.
"I'll take you for your words, My Angel. You can take a picture though, it'll last longer," I whined. "I don't need a picture. You're right here withand I know you'll always be here," I declared.
He opened his beautiful eyes. Those eyes keptcaptivated.

"Morning breath," I complained.
He removed my hand from his mouth and stared atdeeply, makinghold my breath. I don't know how he does it but with one stare from that man, I becweak.
"If you think that your morning breath can stopfrom k*ssing you, then you don't know just how much I love you," I still wasn't used to Darius' love declaration. It made my heart beat fast against my ribcage. It excitedand scaredat the stime.
"Don't think too much about anything, Baby. It's you and I against the world, that's all that matters," I raised an eyebrow. How did he know I was thinking about something? He flicked my nose, makinglaugh. "You're precious," he declared.
"You're Darius," I laughed. "Darius Darkwood," He acted as though I'd just shot him an arrow. He grabbed his chest. "Ahh. That hurts, my angel," He k*ssed my forehead.
"Go back to sleep, baby, I need to attend to Azalea. He said there's ssort of emergency and he's being outside that door for a while," 1/3 "Is everything okay?" He stood up from the bed in all his naked form and I quickly looked away. I felt shy all of a sudden acting as if we didn't just f*ck all through the night like rabbits on heat.
"Everything is fine and everybody is okay," He put on his pants, k*ssedthoroughly, and walked out of the room, locking the door firmly behind him.
I walked into the bathroom to wash my face, brushed, and also did other necessary things. Once I was done, I walked back into the room. As I was about to return to bed, I could hear Darius and Azalea's gentle, whispering voices in the hallway. Although they tried to be as quiet as possible, I couldn't miss out on the frequent rise in Darius' voice.
Curiously, I leaned into the door to hear what they were discussing. I knew it was rude to eavesdrop but curiosity got the best of me. I couldn't make out all their sentences completely but I heard that talk about the Resistance and I also heard Halle's name. All of a sudden, everywhere went silent.
I frowned. Why did they stop talking? What about Halle? What happened to her? The door suddenly opened and I found myself being pulled out of the room and slammed into Darius' hard body. Shit! Shit! That was so embarrassing for f*ck sake. I couldn't even look up to stare at him.
"Angel, what's going on?" I'd been caught. I squeezed my eyes shut as I tried to cup with a lie. Quickly, I threw my hands around his body. "Ah, I missed you," He pushed his fingers through my hair and that madelook at him. I hoped he believed that I did and didn't just find out that I'd been listening in on his conversation with Azalea.
"You..." he paused mid-sentence. My eyes went wide and I bit down into my ch*ek. "Look so gorgeous. Does your beauty increase with each passing second?" I laughed nervously. "Stop with the sweet talk," He bent down and effortlessly lifted me, wrapping my legs around his waist as if I weighed nothing.
"Darius," I whined as he pressed his lips into my neck. "Don't you have to go to work?" "No baby," he murmured. "You havefor the whole day," Since I didn't hate the idea of being in bed all day with a man who could pass for a Greek god, I k*ssed him back feverishly.
He walked us back into the room and slammed the door shut. For the entire day, all he did was f*ckgood and feedbetter.

It was only after Darius left the next morning that I was able to think about what I heard from him and Azalea. Nwanted to connect the entire words I picked up but it wasn't making sense. All that made sense was Resistance and Halle. Without thinking twice about it, I put on sdresses and decided to stop at Halle's house that morning before picking up Reina, Aka, the birthday girl.
On getting to her apartment, I knocked twice but no one was om answering the door. Knowing she lived alone, it didn't occur tothat the place might be empty. On second thought, I decided to check if she was at the hospital. If I also don't find her there, I would be left with no choice other than to ask Darius about her. I was worried about her for reasons only I understood. I wasn't supposed to care, but the thought of her being in trouble gnawed at me.
2/3 The door opened slightly as I tried knocking again and the wind carried two voices to my ear.
"Hello," I called out as I opened the door wide and walked into the house. I should've left when I didn't get any response but stubbornly, I called out again.
"Hellooooo," drawing it out longer than usual.
"I told you to lock the door," "I thought I did," Two arguing voices cfrom one of the rooms inside the house. I could recognize Halle's but I didn't want to believe the second voice I was hearing.
There was no way he would be here.
I pushed open the door of the room and right there he was on the bed with Halle. I discovered something or in ve maybe someone that could've gottenmurdered lying on the bed. The sperson Darius had banned from the pack. It was Charles! Author's Short Note Hello friends, so sorry I couldn't update yesterday. Apologies for any inconveniences caused.
