NovelAppChapter 59 A/N: Hello, so sorry for the late update guys. Thank you for your support. I appreciate it! Angela's POV The Resistance! After they burned down the warehouse, there was a deafening silence in the pack. A lot of people knew something was wrong or maybe something was going on but Darius tried as much as possible not to let on and that caused murmuring among the people.
They couldn't voice out their opinion and that was probably what started the Resistance in the first place. Darius didn't take the people's opinions into account before he bectheir Alpha and out of fear, the people never told him they didn't want him as their Alpha.
I tucked Reina's shirt into her pink leather shorts as she sucked a finger. She was sleepy even though it was almost eleven in the morning and on a school day. I decided to let her skip school since she wasn't as active as she used to be. I'd thought she would be pretty excited to see her grandma after a long tbut for sreason, she wasn't.
"What's wrong, babes?" I caressed her chin as she managed to open her eyes to stare at me.
I'd taken her temperature carlier and it was normal. I didn't want to panic but I was going to check us in at the hospital before taking her grandma's house.
"Do you want to sleep?" She shook her head. "Not sleepy, mama,“ "Then, what's wrong? Tell me. Or do you want to not see Grandma today? We can do that tomorrow," I assured her with a huge grin on my face..

"Then, what's wrong?" "Uncle D... she hummed. Daddy. Did he leave?" Her eyes watered as those words left her lips. Her lips in turn wobbled and she held my pinky finger.
"No, Reina. Uncle D didn't leave us. He's been busy with work and you're usually asleep when he gets back That's why you haven't seen him." The light in her eyes sparkled again as she heard those words. They were reassuring enough for her, I guess. Ever since the warehouse was burnt down, Darius had been very busy. I'd barely seen him around the house. The only thing I could hold on to was his scent which was usually left behind in my room and Reina's room every morning. It's been two weeks since the Resistance made themselves known and the tension hadn't eased down since then.
"He'll cback,” she reassuredor maybe herself.
"He never left, Babes," I reassured her.
Reina and I, especially her, weren't used to allowing people into our lives. It has been only the two of us all her life and I'd never had to deal with a situation like this. How was I supposed to explain to a five-year-old that people were shitty? They could up and leave one day, leaving you drained and exhausted mentally.
I hope it'll be a long tbefore we get to that lesson.
She smiled and becthe energetic Reina that I knew. As we walked along to my mom's house, she excitedly waved at everyone we cacross, oblivious to how tensed the pack was.
We saw Halle on our way and before Reina could run to her, I pulled her back and increased our pace. I wasn't ignoring her because of what happened with Charles, I was just being careful because of her involvement with "The Resistance" "Zack asked about you," "Hello to you too, Mother," Reina and my mom hugged tightly before my mom took her by the hand and showed her the playroom she built for her.
"So, how was your therapy session with Zack?" Something dropped in my stomach. I froze at the spot.
"He told you about it?" I asked rhetorically.
My mother wavedoff. "Of course not but he asked if you wanted to talk to him again because he couldn't reach you and I guessed it must have been about a session. Or why else would my daughter be seeing my therapist?" I shrugged, regaining my stance. "Not sure where you're heading with the question," "What's going on with you and Darius, anyways?" "What?" I took an apple out of the fruit jar and walked into the kitchen to wash it.
"Are you guys getting back together?" "Nope, why do you ask?" She raised an eyebrow. "There's been talk around the pack. People are gossiping about your intimate relationship with the Alpha," "Let them gossip. Does it matter?" "Yes, Angela. It matters. I know you guys have a child together but the earlier you define your relationship, the better," "I thought you liked Darius," I groaned.
ou want "I do. I just don't want you wasting your time. I know he wants you back in his life. You should make up your mind if you him back in yours," "And if I don't? Do you think he'll letleave this pack?" She sighed loudly. "Why are you so desperate and eager to leave this pack?" "Because there's life out there, mom. I get it that werewolves take a bigger percentage of the world's population now but the human world is amazing too and has more freedom," She suddenly walked up to me, placed her hand on my chest, and smiled.

Make decisions that'll make you happy," "I don't know, mom. I'm confused," "It's okay to be confused. Just take your tbut don't take too much time. Alright?" I moved my head sideways.
"Thanks, mom, She suddenly snapped her fingers. "Brit would arrive here tonight," I frowned. "Wait! What?" "Your sister is coming tonight, Angela. You should cby tomorrow morning to say hi," Holy fuck! For a long time, I forgot I had a sister. A younger sister. She was two years younger than I was and unfortunately, we hated each other. We couldn't stand in each other's presence without trying to kill the other person. Even though I hadn't spoken to her in 2/3 five years, I was sure she would still hate my guts, courtesy of what happened between us on the day I left the pack.
The thoughts of meeting Brittany again didn't leave my mind till we left for home.
There was a new curfew around the pack. Everyone is to be indoors by 7pm. I settled at hwith Reina, watched sTV shows, and retired to my bed.
I was fast asleep when I felt a sudden presence around me. A part ofbis was ready to panic but his scent soon settled on and I took in a deep breath. "You should see Reina before you leave tomorrow. She misses you, I managed to say.
*I always check her every night before leaving for the patrol," I nodded. I know but she doesn't," "She didn't go to school today," I smiled. He went to her school. "She was feeling a bit under the weather," His head snapped up to stare at me. Although he was trying to hide it, he was scared.
"She's fine now. She just misses you," He relaxed a bit and returned his head to my neck. He inhaled my scent and hummed.
"You smell good, My Angel," "Courtesy of my ever-friendly and eco-friendly coconut shampoo," He laughed. I could feel his body vibrate against the bed and it was heartwarming. The little things that matter! "Did you also miss me?" He suddenly asked after a few minutes of silence and I was fighting to stay awake.
"I miss you, "I've been counting the seconds since I last saw you, and each one feels like an eternity. I miss you, My Angel," Author's Short Note
I was telling a friend jokingly today that I needed to write an apology letter on behalf of Darius because of how much he's hated. Someone even believed he's bipolar. Funny, right? What do you think? SFHD
