On my way back home, as I pondered on the new discovery, the more I did, the more I realized it was a st*pid decision to Jude the truth about her father from her. Almost everyone in the pack knew she was Darius’ daughter. Everyone at Darius’ mansion knew who she was, and I’m sure they didn’t hold back in spreading the news around the pack. It must have slipped somehow. Someone must have told her.
The fact that she kept it a secret and didn’t let me know she knew was too crazy for me to wrap my head around. Why didn’t she tell me? Why didn’t she call him daddy? Does Darius know she knew? Have I been kept in the dark again? I hate myself right now, I could feel bile rising up to my throat.
I wanted to throw up! I suddenly found everything disgusting.
“Angela,” A voice called from right behind me. I paused, took a deep breath, and turned in the direction. It was Charles.
“Hey, Charles” I gave him a small smile.
“Are you okay? You look pale,” He mentioned, he tried placing his hand on my forehead to check my temperature but I moved away from him.
“I’m good, don’t worry about it. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it last night,” I apologized again. I knew it would’ve been disappointing for him and Halle and they would obviously see me as a snob. They’re trying their best to rekindle our friendship and I on the other hand wasn’t turning up as expected
“It’s okay. Angela.”
“I didn’t mean to disappoint you guys, I wanted to come but…” I stopped. What was I about to say? That Darius didn’t want me to go for the movie night or that Darius was too scared I wouldn’t come back to him once I left.
Was he really scared about that? He had no right to say that sort of thing. There’s no relationship between us,
“It’s fine, Angela. Halle understands and I don’t see it as a big deal anyways,” He explained with a smile on his face..
“When’s the next movie night?” I asked. I began walking and he got the memo. He started walking beside me as well.
“Friday night.” That was two days from then.
“Great”
“Halle and I were talking yesterday and she felt there are some things you should know,” When I looked at him, the smile on his face had disappeared and he had a serious, stoic look on his ice which was rare.
“About what?” I asked.
He looked around as if he was about to tell me a top secret or he was looking out for someone. “Alpha Darius.”
At the mention of his name, I felt anxious. I almost asked him if Darius was okay but stopped once I remembered I had seen him before I left home. “What about him?”
“We should go somewhere private,”
I was on my way to my mom’s place I needed to change the interior decoration of my y room and she thought I could use the credit card she had. The thing is, ace Darius became the Alpha of this pack, he introduced a new system where the credit card used for pun hases within the pack was designated for just the pack Credit cards from the human world weren’t accepted anymore If I needed to purchase something, rather than ask Darius for my new credit card. I would rather use my

“I’m on my way to see my mom. We can talk as we walk if you don’t mind,” I explained
“No, I don’t,”
“What’s going on with Darius?” He threw one hand in his pocket as we walked.
“I need you to listen to me and wait till after I’m done to ask any questions. Also, promise you won’t tell Darius about this.” I nodded and he took that as a cue to continue. “We both know how crazy Darius was before you left the pack, right? But after you left, he became something else. No one heard anything about him and you for the first year and we all assumed you eloped together. Your father heard about him from his father and decided to travel to his mother’s pack and confront him. Your father came back with bruises on his body and we all knew Darius did that. He made his men beat your father up.”
Wait what! I scrunched my face as those words made their way out of his mouth.
“I don’t know how or how true it is but the rumors flying around is that Darius killed his mother and his wife so he can take over that pack. He turned into a monster and started killing people. Not just any type of werewolves but Alphas and took charge of their packs. ( you can add more)”
Sincerely, I was scared of who Darius really was.
“Why are you telling me all this?” I asked.
“Darius is dangerous,” He whispered.
“Don’t we all know that? It’s obvious and it’s been known since we were children,” I answered out of concern.
“Darius’ late wife had a brother who believed Darius killed his sister and seeks revenge. They captured some people days. ago, Angela. They were trying to sneak into this Darius’ old pack
I was breathing heavily as I was getting impatient. I could guess where it was leading to but I could pray it doesn’t lead to that
“Why?”
“They were sent to hurt you and Reina by his late wife’s brother. They had you guys picture,”
I scoffed. I didn’t want to believe it was true. “It must have been rumor. How can you even know if it’s true?”
“My friend over there who is their head of warriors, told me about it. That pack is one of the most reinforced packs world. If they could penetrate through it, it’ll only be a matter of time till they make it here. You need to leave, Angel
As my brain processed his words and took them in, I could feel my stomach tumble. I felt sick to the stomach. Someon busy plotting my death while I was busy playing house. Why would anyone want to hurt a child?
Charles was right! I have to leave! I have to take Reina and RUN
