Author’s Note
Hello, I’m so sorry for the single update I’ve been releasing daily. I’m currently writing my Thesis and it’s really time–consuming. To those who encouraged me to go for my master’s program, y’all didn’t prepare me for this part (thesis) at all. Thank you so much for reading and coming back each day for an update. We’re getting closer to the end and I can’t wait to start another book with you all
Angela’s POV This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
I removed my lips from Darius before I did something stupid. My body wanted him. No, scratch that, my body craved him but my brain doesn’t. The fact that he lied to me still came back to my head and I had to push him a few inches away from me.
My wolf whined. I sucked in my lower lip as 1 fisted my palm: I wanted to go back and kiss him. The temptation was so hard that I could barely see myself overcoming it
“What’s wrong?” He asked so softly. I looked up. He was staring at me with so much passion and worry. My eyes fell to his lips and I took a deep fucking breath.
“Nothing. I think I should go back. My mom and Reina are probably waiting.”
“Angela,” he moved closer to me and cupped my chin. “I don’t want you to hide anything from me, alright? If you’re mad at me, let me know, if you’re worried about something, tell me,”
“I’m not mad at you. It’s just you lied to me and I can’t seem to let go of that.”
He closed his eyes for a few seconds then opened them to look at me.
“I was an idiot. I should’ve told you she was alive somewhere but my stupidity got the better part of me. I didn’t think that information was necessary since our life was just about us and not our past. Now, I realize my mistake, baby. I’m sorry that I hurt you with my lies,”
His apology was sincere and I understood.
“If you want to take some time out to think things through, that’s fine. Just don’t let go of us,”
He dipped his hand into his right pocket and brought out a beautiful necklace, one just like Reina’s.
“Reina has one of these. I told him. I was suddenly overwhelmed with excitement. “She said you gave her.
He frowned a bit which made me bothered. “I did but..” he paused. “We need to talk about Reina,
“What’s wrong!? Is she okay? Did something happen when I was gone?”
He shook his head and smiled. “It’s not a cause for alarm. Just something we should talk about”
I watched as he walked around me to settle behind my back. He pushed my hair to the side. I held it in place so he could wear the necklace for me. “To beautiful” I mumbled happily.
“I know and at the same time, you can click that button and I’ll be wherever you are at any moment,”
I was a bit jealous of Reina when I saw this with her. I thought he didn’t get me one.
He squinted his eyes and stared at me with a hint of playfulness.
“You know you just said that out loud right?”
Exped. “No, I didn’t.”
He shrugged as if he was going to drop the conversation and take me for my word. He raised an eyebrow and I glared at him. He held my hand and kissed my clerks softly.
“Let’s talk about Reina, I urged him
If I hadn’t said
something to change the mood, I would’ve launched myself at him like a rocket and kissed him terribly.
“Let’s start with the latest one,” he took a seat and gestured at me to sit beside him but I refused. I took a seat opposite him.
He stared at me, his eyes lingering on my lips, but he didn’t say anything
11:37 AM
“About the necklace, I gave it
e it to her when she was still sleeping not when she was awake,”
1 adjusted myself to my seat because of how intense his gaze was “She said you told her how to use the button. Maybe she wasn’t asleep,”
He smirked. “No, baby. She was. Reina can see things,”
What I don’t understand. She can see things like, yes, she’s not blind. We all know that don’t we?” I asked nervously.
“That’s not what I meant, Baby. Our daughter can see things that are not known to other people. Things other people cannot see,”
I gasped. “Like ghosts? Spirits!”
“She can see the future or maybe the moment. For instance, she knew you were going to be in danger if you left the pack. She knew I was going to be back the day I was and she knew Mason was back. Also, she knew Brit was in danger even before she was brought back into the pack,”
I sucked in a long breath. I held on to the edge of the chair.
“She can see things,” I repeated,
It didn’t make sense. None of it made sense to me. It wasn’t possible or was it?
“How long have you known?”
“The day you got kidnapped,
I shook my head. “I didn’t know anything. She must’ve had a tough time, wouldn’t she?”
Darius held my hand. That’s why we have to help her. Baby,”
“How are we supposed to help her! She’s a werewolf, do werewolf have that ability?” I was genuinely confused and at the same time ashamed of myself. I did not even know my daughter was going through such a thing and I called myself her mother,
“My mother had the same ability. I think Reina inherited her genes,
“Your mother!”
“Yes. It was hard at first but she found her way around it. All we have to do is find a way to keep this secret till Reina is old enough to understand her ability. We need to protect her and teach her how to keep this secret,
“How many people know about this?
Just you, me and Reina. I don’t know if your mom has an idea of it
“Maybe she does. I’ll ask her. So, how do we protect her, Darius?”
“I don’t know yet but r
I’ll talk to someone without leaving a hint about her identity. Anything to protect her,”
“My poor baby,” I cried
“You don’t have to be worried about Reina She’ll be fine. We’ll be fine, I promise,
I opened my eyes and through the tears, I saw him crouching in front of me. I threw my hands around his neck and hugged him
“Thank you for being there for Reina when I couldn’t be,”
“Don’t way that baby,”
I might be mad at you
never got lo,”
but I still i
still have to say this. While I was in Ryker’s castle, I thought about the many chances I had to tell you how I felt but I
He placed a finger on my lips. “Don’t say it when you’re mad at me.
1 shook my head: I had to get it out of my chest. I didn’t want to keep holding on to my feelings when I couldn’t even function properly without lum beside me. My thoughts are filled with hip-
“I love you, Beast, or maybe Gentle Beast,”
He laughed with me. I’m your Beast, baby. I’m whatever you want me to be
