A Love Reawakened The Alpha’s Regret



BOOK 2: CHAPTER 62

Harriette's POV.

After I told Alpha Darius all that happened, he didn't say a word. He sat there, his head bowed down. I was waiting for the judgment, the murderous look, and whatever horrible reaction that was supposed to follow but never came.

"Please say something,"

I begged. I couldn't bear the way he went so dead silent. If Luna Angela had been here, she might have had something to say.

When Alpha Darius finally looked up, I almost died.

He'd been crying. His jaws were so clenched I could visibly see them but the tears were what concerned me the most. He was probably angry at me. Who wouldn't? There was no way he could look at him the same.

"I failed, Reina," he suddenly and finally said.

I didn't understand him but I shook my head. "What? No, you

didn't,"

Yes, tears were for weak people but I was weak at that moment. I'd been so weak recently that strength eluded me and the thoughts of being a coward were far away from me. I didn't mind crying myself to death right in front of this man.

"I succeeded as the Alpha of two packs-two of the biggest packs in the world. But I failed when it came to you. I couldn't protect you and because of that, I couldn't give you the life you deserved, a better life. I failed to keep you safe."," he repeated his words as though beating himself up.

"I'm sorry,"

"Don't ever say that. You did nothing wrong. You were just a victim of circumstances. I should be the one apologizing to you, Ree. It should be me saying sorry. For being a shitty parent. I should've done better. I should've looked for you farther and beyond."

He answered.

“What should we do now?" I mumbled. I'd just divulged my greatest secret to this man. I told him because I realized it could cause more harm to the people around me if I kept mute. They shouldn't suffer because of me.

"Do you know the location of this place you grew up in?" He suddenly asked me.

"Yes,"

"You'll give me the exact location,"

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone,"

"I know but I'm not going to sit back despite everything you just told me. They have to pay for what they did to you. every last drop of their blood," He threatened.

I didn't see sense in what he had said. Yes, I grew up away from home but that doesn't mean they have to pay with their blood.

"There are inno

people there. People like me and they didn't do anything bad to me growing up,”

He stopped to stare at me in disbelief. I didn't lie. Yes, Mother hi but that was to help us become better people.

us once in a while and locked us up without food for days

"All they did to you was bad, Reina and it was wrong. They stole you from us. They stole us from you. They stole you from you. They took you away from the people you love and made you forget about your identity. They turned you into someone else, manipulated you with their lies, and told you to kill someone for them,"

He growled, enough to get people's attention.

"They weren't bad," I argued. "They were just different,"

"How can you still support them, Ree? After everything they did to you, you're still standing by them. Why?" he shouted, his face inches from mine. "It's not about who you've become but how you became this way. Did they brainwash you so badly that you can't see the truth? Did Rowan have to get hurt for you to realize there's something dangerous about this Mother?"

He yelled again.

"Stop yelling at me. Stop calling me Ree. Stop calling mother a bad person. Yes, she might be dangerous but she doesn't do anything without reason. Rowan is not dead. I just talked to him,

I angrily yelled back. I was breathing heavily and so was he.

"Pick up the phone and call him back. Tell him the woman who almost killed him is a good person. Tell him, Reina,"

I growled as I charged towards him. I stopped myself before I could do anything to hurt him or anyone else.

Iwas blinded by my anger and the way he was yelling and calling me Reina repeatedly was messing with my head. "You can keep yelling but don't you dare call me Reina again,"

"Why? Because this good Mother of yours named you something better right? Your name is Reina Darkwood. You come from a long line of Powerful Alphas and Dreamwalkers. Your mother had you in a foreign land. You met me for the first time when you were five. You saw it even before your mother was in danger. You saw it even before her sister died and you told us who might have killed her. You are not Harriette Adams or whatever bullshit they made you believe. Not now, not ever. You'll always be Reina Darkwood, my first child,"

He yelled. As he said those words, flashes of images ran through my mind, reminding me of who I was. It was almost like a replay of his words. "Stop!" I demanded in a loud voice.

We were both blinded by anger and having an identical yelling fit was what we were doing but something else was happening to me. My anger was filled with something else.

"Do you know how hard your mother took it after you left? Do you know how hard it was for us to survive? You are our entire world and you stand there, denying your identity and backing up a murderer. Do you have any idea how long I carried this around?"

He yanked a silver necklace out of h

Camel's back. Something snapped inside of me.

I didn't mean metaphorically but literally, something snapped in my body.

Alpha Darius slammed the necklace on the table and said, "You can do whatever it's you want with it. Defending that woman is the last I can take from you,

I fell to the ground just as he was about to walk out of the room. I screamed as something else snapped again. I could see myself getting dragged through the mud and right in front of me were memories I'd locked away. My vision became blurry as tears ran down my face. The pain was fucking unbearable.

"Reina!"

"What happened?" I heard another voice.

"Make it stop! Please make it stop," I screamed.

I was in great pain. Something kept breaking in me, repeatedly. It took me a while through the pain to figure out it was my

bones.

“What's going on?" I could sense Luna Angela near me.

"Don't touch her, Angela. She's shifting into her wolf,"

What! What the fuck!Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It wasn't supposed to be this painful. The first time I shifted, it had been peaceful. I'd slept all through it and when I woke up again, Mother had explained to me that I had successfully shifted for the first time and my wolf was beautiful.

I screamed once more as multiple bones snapped at once. I succumbed to the pain and lost consciousness.

When I finally opened my eyes again, I was in my wolf form, staring at my parents and Uncle Mason.

I could remember their faces now. Even though I couldn't remember everything, I could still remember them as well as some very important memories.

Luna Angela was holding a mirror in her hands with tears streaming down her face. It was the first time I would be seeing my wolf.

It was beautiful and at the same time depressing.

What I remembered was far greater than what I could handle.
