A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret

Darius

“Alpha Darius,” Daisy cried as soon as I stepped into the room where she was admitted at the hospital. She had a bandage around her arm. I still don’t understand what could’ve transpired between the two but Angela had no right to hurt this girl.

She had been nothing but sweet and nice to Reina. I’ve been thinking of ways to show my appreciation to her but I guess Angela had to pay her one way or the other.

“How are you feeling?”

I asked. I threw my hands in my pocket and stood by the foot of her bed.

“It hurts, Alpha Darius,” I gave her a reassuring, sad smile. I’m sure my late wife would have dug herself out of her grave if she saw Daisy like this, courtesy of my woman.

The doctor came in at that time as well.

“You’ll get better,

“It was silver, Alpha Darius. It’ll take a while for her to get

get better but she’ll heal. She’s a strong girl,” The doctor reassured me.

“Silver?” I echoed that word the same way I heard it.

Where would Angela find silver from? Why would she stab Daisy with a silver dagger? Was it premeditated? What could be

the motive?

“It was mine. My father gave it to me some months ago. It’s like family emblem. I always have it with me,” Daisy answered. I nodded, taking in her words. She looked tired, I didn’t think to ask her too many questions but I needed to know what happened.

“What happened today, Daisy?”

She tried to sit up but she couldn’t manage on her own. The doctor had to help her up.

“You told me this morning that I could take Reina from the school and you’ll tell Angela about it.”

Shit! I was too preoccupied to actually tell Angela that Daisy would pick Reina up from school. Shit!

“But by the time I got to the school, I found out Angela already picked Reina up. So, I went home to confront he she would do something like that,” I sucked in a deep breath.

“You do know Reina is Angela’s daughter, right?” I asked Daisy.

She pouted. “I know but you already gave me the go-ahead. Why would she go behind my back to sabotage my plant

1 folded my palm tightly. Daisy was getting it all wrong. Even if I gave her the go-ahead, Reina was still Angela’s daughte She doesn’t have the right to confront Angela about her daughter

“Please continue,”

“So, she told me her daughter wasn’t my business. I asked her where Reina was but she refused to tell me. I asked again and she threatened to stab me if I asked her one more time. I was worried for Reina, you know how Angela can be crazy sometimes. She stabbed me when I asked again,”

“Just like that?” The female doctor asked echoing my thoughts exactly.

“Yes,” she nodded.

“Wow, what a story,” I turned to the doctor who quickly muttered an apology and walked out of the room leaving Daisy and me. Her story wasn’t straightforward or adding up but I trust Daisy to an extent. I knew she meant well and would never do anything to endanger the lives of those around her. She even cried when she lost her dog once.

“You should get some sleep, Daisy. I’ll check up on you later,”

me.

Thank you.” She relaxed back into the bed. Before I could walk out of the room, she called my name, “Do you Alpha Darius?”

I gave her a small smile. “Of course, I’ve known you for years. I know what you can or can’t do,”

1 assured her. She gave me a big smile and closed her eyes to sleep.

After finding out from Daisy that Reina wasn’t with Angela, I tried finding out her whereabouts but it almost proved impossible. That was because I didn’t look for her in the first place I should’ve looked for her. Her mom’s place.

1 stood on the front porch and knocked, hoping Reina was there The door was thrown open by the same person I was looking for. My daughter!

“Uncle D,” she shrieked as if she had been waiting for me all my life.

“Hey baby,” I bent down and she threw her arms around my neck. I thought she was hugging me but when her legs wrapped around me. I carried her just as she wanted. The bond I shared with Reina had grown tremendously even though we’ve known each other for the past month

“Where’s grandma?”

Her head was buried in my shoulder. She didn’t answer me with words, instead, she pointed towards the kitchen.

I decided to follow where she was pointing to. “Who’s there, Princess?” Angela’s mom asked.

“I am,” I replied. The woman turned to us from her stove. “Hello Alpha Darius,”

“Hello,”

“I was just preparing dinner for Reina and me. Her mom wants her to spend the night here,”

“No!” Reina mumbled. It was more like a whisper but I think this sleepover was not something she wanted.

I caressed her hair, then cupped her head so she could look up a me. As our eyes met, tears rolled down her flushed chee Her nose burped.

“Reina, what’s wrong?” Her grandma asked before I could. I was short of words. I thought her laughter would be the end of me but her tears stabbed me in the heart, tore me apart, and brought me to my knees.

She didn’t answer her grandma. She kept on staring at me. I had to find the words, I just had to find the courage to ask the

words.

“I want to go home. Manna is sick. She’s not fine,” She cried, throwing her head into my shoulder and wailing again. What was Ree talking about? Angela was fine. I saw her minutes ago.

“Your mom’s fine, Angela. I saw her some minutes ago,” I assured her, patting her hair..

“She’s lying. She’s sick,”

“Why would you say that, Reina?”

“She threw up and her body was hot. She said I shouldn’t tell grandma about it,”

I nodded. My brain reminded me of Angela’s look earlier. It wasn’t guilt, it wasn’t fear. Something else was eating her up.

“Okay! It would help if you stayed with grandma. I promise to take care of your mama, alright?”

“Promise?”

“Of course. I promise,” I kissed her forehead and she leaned back into me. I had to calm her down for a little longer before dinner. She didn’t want to let me go but reluctantly, she did.

On getting back home, I didn’t bother knocking on Reina’s door again because I knew Angela wouldn’t open it. I brought out the spare key and opened the door. Nibbles wasn’t in Reina’s room so I went to check her room. She was there, lying in the darkness on the bed, covered with the duvet.

“Nibbles.” She was sweating a bucket and whispering. I couldn’t Hear what she was saying but her mouth was moving. “Baby,” I held her shoulder to shake her so she could wait up but instead she cried out.

“Don’t touch me, please, don’t touch me,”
