A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret by Alphabetical B

Chapter 71 Angela's POV The number of minutes it tookto get to my mom's place, and the number of people I met on the way all went over my head. I wasn't in my right senses anymore. The fear that enveloped me, the disgust 1 felt, and the horror that settled in my spine all didn't make sense tountil I stopped at my mom's front porch.

All that happened in the last ten minutes cback toin a flash and I shivered. I was scared, not just for myself but for Reina. I couldn't even make out the face of the stranger because he had his face covered in a mask but those eyes; were so cold, distant, and nothing like I'd ever seen in my life.

I took a deep breath.

Fear grippedagain. I didn't want to lose Reina. I can't afford to lose her. It was never even in my plan to tell Darius about what I saw at Halle's place but after getting threatened like that, I don't think I would be able to breathe a word. to him or anyone else.

I managed to regulate my breath and put my heart at ease before I walked up to the front, turned the knob, and walked inside the house.

Right in the middle of our house was Zack. Dr. Zack. I could've rolled my eyes but I was too traumatized to. Good! Another person I didn't look forward to seeing.

"Hello Angela," "Hi," I waved a little at him as I glanced around to see if Reina was anywhere around the house.

It was her birthday tomorrow. My girl was turning the big six and I'd promised to spend the day with her as usual. "You look great," he commented, a smirk on his lips. A part offelt as though I was being mocked and it madewonder if because he was a therapist, he could read throughlike an open book.

"I always look great. Why are you here?" "Did something happen to you, Angela?" I frowned. I rubbed my arm as if I was cold all of a sudden.

"What? Nothing happened. Where's my mom?" "You're acting defensive and at the stime, trying to change the subject. It's not who you used to be. And your mom is with your daughter. She's getting her ready." "Well, thanks for the analysis and information. Have a wonderful day." I began walking towards the stairs. “Just when you're done, lock the door behind you," I wasn't about to stand with him for a few more minutes and hear him teardown or makeso weak I wouldn't have a choice but to tell him what happened to me.

"Birthday girl," I excitedly screamed as I walked into my daughter's new room. It was my old room that my mom redecorated for her. I was actually surprised when she did and it felt weird. It was as though she didn't wantsleeping over in the house anymore.

"Mama," She waved atwith those tiny, cute hands.

"Are you excited?" She twirled and turned showingher new dress with a high-pitched laughter. She was excited Chapter 71 about the whole thing.

"Yes, mama. Daddy was here," "Really? He's been coming here a lot," "He does. He's always here to see Reina every single day and sometimes twice in a day," my mama added. "That's great. We'll go check him out at the office before we leave," "I want to see Santa too, mama," "No way. Santa only comes out at Christmas and Christmas is smonths away," Her shoulders slumped and she stared at nothingness. I do know how old that child is but she's an old soul. I've never seen a child more excited about Christmas than Reina.

"Okay. Do we get to see Dolittle and School of Magic?" She meant the School of magical animals. No matter how many times we see those movies at the cinema, she never gets tired of seeing them again. I'd already checked the cinema schedule and confirmed they would be showing at least Dolittle. If I had enough money, I would pay anything for them to show other movies.

"Of course. I guess we won't be coming hanytsoon," I said. If we would be watching all viewing movies at the cinema as Reina wanted, it would be a long tbefore we cback home.

"We'll get spopcorn and waffles and doughnuts," "Chocolate frosted doughnuts," I added.

"Yes," she screamed excitedly.

I laughed and my mom joined in. Girl, I can't believe I was about to be a mom to a six-year-old. It's amazing how truns by so fast.

"Can you guys take Brittany with you?" "Does she want to to come?" I asked my mom. "Will she not say trashy stuff about Darius to pissMy mom sighed. “She'll behave, that wasn't convincing but I would take what I could get. *Fine then. Reina and I will go see Darius first and we'll cback round here to pick her up." off? Reina and I walked back down the stairs. Zack and Brittany were busy talking and laughing. I raised an eyebrow at how comfortable they were. My mom went ahead to inform Brittany to get ready to follow us while I left the house Le Stars.

with Reina.

On our way to Darius" office, she kept on singing sof her nursery rhymes like Twinkle, Twinkle, Litte Humpty Dumpty, and Mary Had a Little Lamb. She also had a question for asking questions in between.

"Mama, what are stars made of?" "How's ice cream made?" "What makes rainbows?" and a million and one other questions.

Before we could walk into the building, Azalea and sof their warriors rushed out. I had to hold Reina closel we found a safe spot to stay so we didn't get hit on their way out.

as Darius soon walked out. His eyes were sharp and cold. Reina turned to look atas I watched him walk closer to us. He didn't even notice we were there until I called out to him.

"Darius," He turned sharply and I watched as his expression softened once he took in our forms. He walked closer to us and first caressed my ch*ek before he turned to Reina.

"Hey, Ree. You're good?" "Yes, daddy," She smiled brightly at him.

He turned toworriedly. "What's wrong?" I should be the one asking him that question not otherwise.

"Nothing. It's Reina's birthday tomorrow. So, we're going ere going to the next town to celebrate. It's a girl thing we do," He smiled. "I didn't know it was her birthday. I'm sorry." I grabbed his hand. "It's okay. I didn't tell you. It's my fault." He bent to Reina's level. I heard someone's turning six tomorrow. Is that you?" She bopped her head excitedly. "Yes, Daddy," "Wow! That's great. Do you need anything?" "A princess birthday cake. The biggest one ever,"

I squeezed my eyes shut. She'd always wanted that but I could barely afford a cupcake not to talk of a whole cake. I knew someday I would be able to give her what she wanted but it wasn't about time. "Anything for you, princess," he k*ssed her ch*ek.

"Is it safe for us to p go? "Of course. I'll assign one of the warriors to go with you. Just be alert and careful, alright?" He k*ssed my ch*eks.

"Is everything okay around the pack?" "Someone spotted Charles. That fcking rat...

He looked down to see Reina staring at him. He quickly covered her ears and I almost laughed.

"That f*cking rat had the guts to cback in here. Either we do it my way or his way but either way, he won't leave here the sway he came," He k*ssedagain. "See you later, My Angel, He walked away, leavingdazed.
