A Love Reawakened: The Alpha's Regret (Angela)
CHAPTER 61

Chapter 61 Angela's

POV

The world around me became silent all of a sudden. I could feel the air around me seize as I struggled to breathe. I blinked repeatedly, hoping the next time I opened my eyes, I would be in a different place. In a happier place. Not somewhere Darius is on the verge of d I couldn't move closer to him at first because I was scared if I touched him, I'd realize he was dead. His breaths were shallow, each one a struggle against the pain. Blood pooled around his body, darkening the dirt beneath him. I could see the life slipping away from him. The blood, the wounds were just too much. His eyes were shut and the deep creases behind his eyelids couldn't hide the intense pain he was enduring.

"Darius," I whispered from the door, praying he would hear me and open his eyes. I wanted him to call me His Angel again. I wanted to listen to his voice so badly I could barely breathe.

I knew I was panicking and it was allowed but it wasn't the right time. I had to stay strong for him. I couldn't lose hope just yet.

"Darius," I called again, tears clouding my vision as I took a deep breath. "Please," I cried. I couldn't really point out who I was begging. Was it him or some superior being out there?

All I knew was I needed him to stay alive. I felt a familiar sudden pang in my chest. I usually experienced it once in a while and after several medical checkups, nothing was found, I decided it was probably normal.

The pain was so intense, more intense than usual. That was when the realization hit me. It was the mate bond. Darius didn't lie when he told me the mate bond between us wasn't broken. I was feeling his pain the same way I had felt it all those five years we've been apart "The doctor is here," Azalea announced. I moved out of the room, away from the door to let the doctor do his job. They closed the door to the room and the last thing I saw was Darius moving his head slightly.

"He's fine! He's fine," I assured myself repeatedly. He had to be fine. He has no f*cking right to die on me.

"Are you okay, madam?" Azalea asked.

I quickly cleaned the tears from my face and turned to him. He was also covered in blood and I could see blood trickling from his head.

"You should get that checked out," I told him.

"I'll ask the other doctor when he gets here. Are you sure you're fine?"

I pointed at the sofa next to me. "Sit down, Azalea. Don't get yourself killed while worrying about others,"

"But..."

"It's a command,"

I don't know where that came from but I still said it and maintained a stoic face until he sat. I was worried he could have a concussion and the only thing he was concerned about was his Alpha.

As the door suddenly opened, I stood up and so did Azalea. I turned to glare at him and he sat right back. I wanted to talk to the nurse who came out of the room but she walked past me and went out of the house. I sat back.

I was getting impatient, all I could do was tap my feet against the floor. Another nurse arrived and I asked him to check Azalea first. Thankful, it wasn't a concussion as it was just a scratch but he sustained some serious injury to his hand. "Who's..." The doctor treating Darius came out and stood by the door. He murmured something before he continued talking. "Nibbles. Who's Nibbles? Or what's Nibbles?"

He looked genuinely confused.

Before I could respond, Azalea pointed to me.

"He wants you,"

The doctor announced and went back inside.

My fingers trembled as I took in the thoughts of seeing Darius in that state. It scared me. The last time I saw him, I'd pushed him away, walked him out of the house, and told him I'd never wanted to see him again.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

She brushed my hair with her finger and cleaned the new tears that dropped down

my face.

"I came to talk to you about Brit,"

"We can't talk about that now,"

She smiled bitterly. "I'm not stupid, Angela. I know. For now, we should focus on Darius and how he's going to get better. You should go to him, Angela,"

I shook my head as more tears ran down my face. I stared at my

feet.

"I told him I didn't want to see him again this morning,"

"It's okay, Angela. Do you know the number of times I told your daddy to f*ck off and never come back? That doesn't mean I didn't want him coming home. I'm sure he knows you didn't mean it," "I don't know what I'm doing, Mom,"

I confessed. Should I be getting entangled with Darius after everything? Should I even be thinking about that at this moment? Was it the confirmation of the mate bond that scared me more?

"You're being normal as everyone werewolf around. We make mistakes, we get confused, we take stupid decisions. Go to him, Angela. He needs you,"

I nodded. "Can you get Reina from school? Don't bring her here, please. Take her to your place. I'll come for her tomorrow,"

"Even before you ask, I know that's what I'm supposed to do. Now, go!"

I hugged her for a few seconds before turning my back to her. As I moved closer to the bed, I could hear my own heartbeat. It was so fast and loud. Before I could reach the bed, Darius grabbed my hand. His skin was cold to the touch. Tears streamed down my face as I wa I knelt beside him. "Darius, stay with me, please," I whispered, my voice breaking.

"My Angel," he managed to whisper, but his voice wasn't as audible as it used to be.

The doctor cleared his throat, gaining my attention. "He needs to sleep but he has refused to. He said he had to see you first. We'll be outside. Please call us in case you need anything"

They left the room and I turned back to Darius.

"I can't lose you," I panicked as I felt the strength slipping away from his grip on my hand. I clutched his hand.

He murmured something. I couldn't hear him clearly so I shifted closer and placed my ear close to his m*uth.

"Is it okay if I come home to you?"

I bit down on my tongue in regret. I'd told him not to come back.

"Can I come home now?"

He asked again.

Through tears, I nodded frantically. "You're already home, My Darius and I'm home with you,"
