Chapter <b>58</b>
Ang’s POV
“Don’t do anything stupid,” I asked him. I was still holding on to him as if he was <b>dear </b>life. We were standing outside the house. oblivious to what was happening around us. I didn’t know what made me trust him enough to <b>open </b>up to him like that. Maybe it was because he opened up to me too.
I felt a bit better knowing he didn’t throw me out of the Alpha’s mansion for another woman.
“You too good to be true,”
I removed <b>my </b>head from his chest and stared at him. “What?”
“You’re trying to protect the person who hurt you,”
I shook my head. “I just <b>hate </b>violence,” I answered.
He hummed, his chest rumbling against the skin of my cheek and my lips wobbled. “There’s no need to go back to the past again. I managed to leave <b>that </b>life behind. I’ll hate myself more if I start talking about him,” I told him.
“One thing I’ve learned in my years on earth is this.” he ran his fingers through my hair and I looked at him. “Revenge makes you feel better,
I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. I was expecting something better or more encouraging but instead, it was the <b>usual </b>Darius Darkwood’s barbaric lifestyle.
“An eye for an eye <b>makes </b>all blind,”
“An eye for an eye <b>makes </b>everyone damn careful with their own eyes. That way, they won’t <b>go </b>around poking others‘, knowing they’ll lose theirs too,”
I groaned. It was useless trying to make Darius see reason. I tried prying myself off him but he held me closer.
“I wouldn’t push it anymore if you won’t give me his information but know this, My Angel, the day I find him, will be hisst day on earth. I promise you that<b>,</b><b>”</b>
He gently pecked the soft, tender skin of my upturned palm.
I knew he was <b>dead </b>serious about that threat and I couldn’t help but feel scared. Not for me though but for somebody else.
“Mason left this morning.” I chipped in, trying to change the <b>subject</b>.
“I know he did. I saw him off this morning with joy in my heart because I was <b>so </b>close to killing him,”
Iughed.
We finally separated and walked <b>into </b>the house together. He made me settle down in the house and asked if I needed anything because he <b>had </b>to go back to the office.
Before he <b>could </b>walk out of the <b>house</b>, I stopped <b>him</b>.
“You said you had to leave me <b>five </b>years ago to keep me safe. Does this have to do with your father?”
He raised an eyebrow. “My father?”
I contemted telling him about what I <b>saw </b>for a minute. What if I wasn’t supposed to see the old Alpha?
He ced a finger under my chin and made me look at him<b>.</b>Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Talk to me,”
I took a deep breath, “I saw your father in <b>the </b>dungeons, Darius. He’s supposed to be dead,”
Something shifted in the air as soon as those words left my mouth. He looked away from me and also began walking away <b>without </b>giving me an answer.
“How did you you were not supposed to see that. <b>What </b>were you doing in the dungeons?”
He asked. His question left me confused and I felt as though I was in a puzzle.
“After you found out I was leaving with Charles, you asked your warriors to take me to the dungeons. Didn’t <b>you</b><b>?</b><b>”</b>
He shook his head. “I would never do such a thing. I don’t remember giving out that instruction. I’ll ask Azalea about it,”
It was obvious that he was avoiding answering the question and I didn’t want to push further.
“You can’t talk about what you saw with somebody else. In due time, I’ll exin,”
<b>“</b>You <b>have </b>a lot of exnation to do,” I told him.
He smiled. A real smile this time, not his signature fake smirk. The same smile I fell in love with five years ago even before I found out he was my male.
I walked closer to him and stared at him for a few seconds before standing on my toes. I wanted to kiss him but I wanted him to kiss me back. I pulled at his shirt. That sent the message across because he snaked his hand across my shoulder <b>and </b>cupped my neck. He brought his face closer to mine and just as <b>his </b>lips hovered mine, his phone vibrated.
It <b>was </b>emanating <b>a </b>red light that signaled danger or emergency.
He stared at the wall,municating through the mind link..
“What happened?” I <b>whispered</b>,
“One of our warehouses is on fire,”
“What!” I <b>gasped</b>. “You should go<b>.”</b>
After <b>he </b>promised toe back soon, he walked out of the door. Although I didn’t <b>say </b>anything about following him before he left. I did.
“You should go back, it might be <b>too </b><b>dangerous</b><b>,”</b>
Once he r
realized I was behind him, he stopped and walked up to me.
“I’ll stay far away from the fire,” I promised
It was also just a <b>stone’s </b>throw from Reina’s school. I made a mental note to pick her up from school once I left the warehouse.
On getting to the building, <b>I </b>saw that a little crowd had gathered and it was one of the biggest food warehouses that burnt to the ground.
“What <b>happened</b>?” Darius asked. The man who was in charge walked up to Darius and bowed.
“I’m sorry, Alpha <b>Darius</b><b>. </b>We tried our possible best but we couldn’t stop the fire,”
“Are there <b>any </b>casualties?” He asked,
“No, Alpha, Everybody is fine,”
“Thank Goodness,”
“How did it start?”
“I can’t find <b>an </b>exnation <b>to </b>give you now but <b>I </b>suspect someone started it,”
What!.
“Someone?” I didn’t know when I asked that
“Yes, I found this right here,”
He pointed to the <b>small </b><b>podium </b><b>that </b>was outside the warehouse and brought out a small envelope. Darius collected it from the man. Immediately, he frowned and clenched <b>his </b>fist.
<b>Out </b>of curiosity, I moved closer to him and took a look at the note.
##You’re not our <b>alpha</b>. The fire is just the beginning. Step down, or you’ll face the same fate- The Resistance##
