A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Darius

Thudt

As I stand in the gym, surrounded by the stale scent of sweat and determination, my fists collide with the punching bag in a relentless, defensive attack. My main goal was to get M Nibbles’ rejection out of my head.

“I hate you, Darius”

Thud!

“Leave me alone”

Thud! Thud!

Each strike vibrated through my body, sending waves of frustration running through my veins. With every punch, I felt the weight of my anger. I was angry at myself but there was nothing could do about it.

The bag swung wildly, taunting me with its resilience. But I refuse to relent, channeling all my pent-up emotions into each blow. With each strike, I can feel the tension in my muscles increase.

“I, Angela Johnson reject you Darius Darkwood…” Her words echoed through my head. I was blinded by the vision of the tears and the scream she let out as she tried to reject me the second time. Maybe I shouldn’t have told her the truth.

Thud!

Maybe I shouldn’t have let my demons talk me into opening up to her. I f*cking want that woman all to myself but she doesn’t. It was killing me slowly, painstakingly and Lwas loving the pain even though I didn’t know how to handle it.

Memories flash before my eyes, fueling the fire burning within me. Every person I’d had to bury, every person I’d one of the hurt I’d endured was so I could finally find my way back to Angela but I guess it was all for nothing.

Thud!

The sound of my fists meeting leather filled the air, slowly drowning out thoughts roaming swirling in my mind.

Once I realized no matter how many times I punched that bag, wouldn’t feel the satisfaction I was searching for. My hard, fast breath filled the room. I collapsed to the floor, placed my head on my knee, and finally embraced the memories I was trying to run from.

“What?” Angela spat, struggling to sit up after my revelation. Since she had managed to tame my demons without touch me or satisfying their needs, I was more in my right senses. I don’t know how she does it, but every time she’s near, I become a better person.

I released both her arms and legs. She had a hard glare on her face and a bitter taste in her mouth as if taking in my words was a hard, bitter pill.

“What the f*ck are you talking about, Darius?” She asked again. She shielded herself away from me by moving into the

corner.

She hates me now! I reminded myself. She doesn’t even want me touching her. My skin longed for her heat every fcking day despite knowing she wouldn’t even let us near her.

“You heard me,” I was ready to leave the room. I couldn’t stand the way she was looking at me. As if I was a monster, a demon.

Ei

Five years ago, when everyone in the pack was scared to look at me or even talk to me, Angela wasn’t. She would look up at me with that f*cking cute smile every day. Even before I knew she was my mate, I was a st*pid simp for a girl.

“You deceived me in addition to deceiving me. Is that why I never got a second chance mate?” She queried with so much bitterness laced in her words,

“You wanted a second chance mate?” I reverberated, anger coursing through my veins, snaking its way to my senses.

“Yes!” She thundered coincidentally to the release of a new thunder from the skies.

“The f*ck,” I murmured. I couldn’t yell at her again. She was scared enough. I wasn’t satisfied, my monster wanted to seal our fates and make her mine completely but I didn’t think I would be getting that tonight.

“You moved on to another woman, I deserved to move on to somebody else as well. You kept my soul trapped in yours for years.

Exactly the way I wanted it to be. I was hers, she was mine and nothing was going to change that. Not even the st*pid promise my mom made when she had me that got me bound to another woman.

“Don’t say it like it’s a bad thing.”

“It’s the worst thing to do to any werewolf on earth. It’s the worst thing.” She repeated. “The fact that you don’t see it as something bad is terrible too.”

I shrugged. I threw my hands into my pocket, turned away from the door, and faced her. The sight I was met with brought me to my knees. She was crumbled. She was in tears. Her curly beautiful hair was all over the place. She tried fixing it with her hand but tears dropped down her eyes and she moved her hand to her face instead.

/No one would ever get to love a monster like you, Darius/ My dead wife’s words ran through my mind as I watched my woman shatter into the pieces I’d made her to. I didn’t mean to hurt her. I would gladly put a gun to my head than hurt her.

The worst part is, I don’t even know how to make it letter. Do 1 kiss her? Do I hug her? Should I hold her?

Shit!

“Nibbles,” I whispered. She looked up to lock eyes with me through the tears. I didn’t say anything else because clueless. I might be a smart Alpha when it comes to pack affair but I was st*pid when it comes to Nibbles.

“Don’t hurt Charles, please. He’s a good friend of mine and he doesn’t deserve it,”

With my hands still in my pocket, I clenched my fist.

“You don’t care about me,” I stated. If only she cared about me half of how much she cared about Charles, I wouldn’t

crazy

“I knew him before I knew you. He cared about me first and you have no right to hurt him, Darius. No right,”

I lurked towards the bed and brought my face close to her. I held her arms and she shivered. I wasn’t going to hurt her. I just going to make my intentions about her friend known.

“Charles knew better than to act s*upid around you, baby. Watch me teach him a lesson you both wouldn’t ever forget.”

A quick knock brought me out of my thoughts. I lifted my head from the floor of my gym just as the door opened. It was one of my warriors, the very few I brought from my pack when became the Alpha of this one.

“Alpha, we have Beta Charles in the Nightshade Cells, what should we do with him?”

I smirked, receiving the first good news today. “Good! Keep him under close watch, its almost time,”
