A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Angela’s POV

“I hope we can put our differences aside, Angela. Even if it’s just for today.”

ゴー

My mom pleaded from behind me. We hadn’t talked about her shocking relationship for the past four days

We were holding Brittany’s funeral that morning. We were finally letting go of her, putting her to earth, and allowing her the rest she deserved

“I hold nothing against you, Mom. I’m just too shocked to find the right words,

She thought I was mad at her. I wasn’t. I was just too shocked to find the right words to say.

“It’s kind of shocking, I know,” she muttered.

heard from someone else. Not at you though but at whoever told me because I wouldn’t have

“Thanks for telling me. I would’ve been angry if I h

believed it.” I explained

“So, you’re not mad at me

“Just petrified”

She laughed.

“The last time I heard that word was the last time I watched Harry Potter,”

She adjusted my hair clip and fixed my dress as well. Reina was in the kitchen, having a bowl of cereal. She was also dressed in black like my mom and 1. She didn’t understand why we had to wear the same color of clothes but instead, she was thrilled.

“I just can’t believe my mom is dating someone my age, 1 said and took a deep breath.

“Me neither,” She replied.

I turned to her and frowned. “What”

“It’s a joke, Angela. Learn to take a joke,”

Others would’ve thought my mom was doing better since she was cracking jokes and making funny faces at Reina so she could laugh but I on the other hand was worried about her.

Last night, I was woken up by a painful wail. I came downstairs and I had to sit outside her door as I listened to my mom crying her heart out, I didn’t know when the tears began to flow and I also started crying

At some point, I opened her door and held her. We cried together without saying a word.

Tm just glad I have you in my life. Heavens knew how bad my life would get when they blessed you with Reina. I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said regarding Darius and you in the past. I’m sorry I wasn’t someone you could confide in when things took a different turn. Em sorry you would rather leave the pack than come back to me because you believed I would’ve mocked you and true, I would’ve told you that I warned you,”

I held her hand.

“You shouldn’t say things like that Mon Not today of all days. Let’s send Brittany home first so she can say hi to Dad: Understand?”

She nodded while fighting to keep a smile on her face.

“And I hold nothing against you. Not anymore,”

She took a long, deep breath. “Okay. Let’s send Brittany home,

At the funeral, Darius stood beside me. Reina was with Mason. They didn’t want her to see them putting Brittany’s coffin into the ground. Darius held my hand tightly just as 1 needed it and I held my mont’s hand.

She didn’t cry, I didn’t know how she did it, I was in tears, crying my eyes out. My mom was so strong and I was a complete mess.

As we bid Brittany farewell, my mom waved at an empty space with a sad smile on her face. As the funeral ended, everybody left and I waited behind to watch the men close up the grave and put up her headstone

“You should go home, baby, I’ll give you feedback on how this went,

11938 AM

Darius suggested.

I wasn’t that curious about what they were doing but a stupid little part of me was waiting to see if Brittany would wake up. It was a stupid hope that Theld on to

“She’s never waking up, is she?” I looked up at Darius from where I was sitting.

“Not sure if that’ll be possible,”

“I sound stupid, don’t I?”

He frowned. “No,” he held my face. “For years after I lost you, I would stare into nothing and hope you would walk through the walls and come to me. Sometimes, I’ll be running through the forest and hoping you would call my name and appear from one of those trees,”

I let out a small bugh.

“You hear how ridiculous I sounded. It might have been stupid but that’s what hope is. When others think you’re going crazy because of that one thing you want, you’re the only one holding on to that crazy thing. You don’t sound stupid, baby, you sound hopeful

I nodded and he helped wipe the tears away from my face. He helped me again to stand on my feet and kissed me lightly.

Do you want to go home? He asked.

I think I should go to my mom’s. She really needs me,

He nodded. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

T come get you later. Stay with me tonight

He searched my eyes

Td love that and well go back with Reina as well;

I loved how the light in his eyes shone so brightly

Mason took my hand while he was still carrying Reina in his hand and walked us home. They were both engrossed in a meaningless conversation that probably only the two of them understood,

Reina would ask a question, Mason would give her an answer that I believed Reina didn’t understand and she would say something not correlating to the answer and Mason would do the same. I turned to the two of them and raised an eyebrow,

“It’s our way of communicating. Mason explained. I clicked my tongue. Both uncle and niece were fond of each other. It was comforting to see.

“Thanks, Mason,”

Reina was already out of his arms and dashing for the door.

“Families don’t say thank you for anything.”

“Still, I owe you that one,”

He nodded.

“Did Darius tell you about Reina?” He asked

“He did,”

“I know this is not the right place to ask or talk about it but I be going to my pack in two days time and I don’t think I’ll be back here in a long time. Take care of her, Angela. Her gift won’t get better. It’ll drain her. She’ll misunderstand a lot of things She won’t be able to handle it until she’s able to carry the weight of it. I get really bad. I’m not trying to scare you but at the same time, I’m not trying to sugarcoat anything. Not you nor Darius understand the gravity of it,”

The way he said it was scary.

“How do you know how bad it’ll gett Year’re scaring me, Mason,

“Because I’ve gone through it for the past several years of my life,”

What

11:38 AM

“No, Darius doesn’t know, I didn’t tell him when 1 should’ve told him and now I don’t know how to tell him anymore.”

“That’s how you get all your information,”

“You’re my secret custodian now, Angela,”

He laughed.

Why did everyone believe I was sane enough to keep a secret?

“You shouldn’t have rold me”

“I had to. Reina’s destiny is in wo parts. Either she shines or goes crazy. Remember Angela, Shine or go crazy,”
