Chapter 69
Angela’s POV
The following morning, I still couldn’t get over the fact that Darius knelt in front of me and declared he was mine and mine only forever. I couldn’t stop crying until he k*ssed my tears away. The moment we had was intimate and beautiful. He held me in his arms and we made love over and over again.
Marking him never occurred to me and when it did, it was Darius who mentioned it but I panicked. I didn’t have it in me to somehow mark him. I sure didn’t hate or loathe him anymore but I couldn’t because I was clueless as to how. We decided to do it when I was ready.
I stared at his sleepy, handsome face and noticed the tiny freckles close to his nose. I’d never seen that before or maybe I just was never that close to him to notice it. His eyes were lightly shut. He was sleeping so peacefully and it was beautiful to watch. I didn’t plan on waking up before him but I was grateful I did. It gave me the opportunity to stare at him and take in all of his good looks.
“You’ll bore a hole in my face,” he grabbed me and pulled me closer to his body.
“I wasn’t staring,” I lied. The red spot on my ch*ek didn’t support my claims though. I was blushing like a child.
“I’ll take you for your words, My Angel. You can take a picture though, it’ll last longer,”
I whined. “I don’t need a picture. You’re right here with me and I know you’ll always be here,” I declared.
He opened his beautiful eyes. Those eyes kept me captivated.
“Always here with you, baby. No one will dare take you away from me,” He brought his lips closer to mine and I slapped my hand against his mouth.
“Morning breath,” I complained.
He removed my hand from his mouth and stared at me deeply, making me hold my breath. I don’t know how he does it but with one stare from that man, I become weak.
“If you think that your morning breath can stop me from k*ssing you, then you don’t know just how much I love you,”
I still wasn’t used to Darius‘ love declaration. It made my heart beat fast against my ribcage. It excited me and scared me at the same time.
me question a lot of things: Was this happy moment real, or was it a figment of my imagination, and how long was
is going to last?
Will he walk away from me again like the last time? Will he stay this time? Will he be able to keep to his words?
It was his k*sses that pulled me out of my thoughts. It sent butterflies fluttering in my belly and I k*ssed him back just
as much.
“Don’t think too much about anything, Baby. It’s you and I against the world, that’s all that matters,”
I raised an eyebrow. How did he know I was thinking about something?
He flicked my nose, making me laugh. “You’re precious,” he declared.
“You’re Darius,” I laughed. “Darius Darkwood,”
He acted as though I’d just shot him an arrow. He grabbed his chest. “Ahh. That hurts, my angel,”
He k*ssed my forehead.
“Go back to sleep, baby, I need to attend to Azalea. He said there’s some sort of emergency and he’s being outside that door for a while,”

“Is everything okay?”
He stood up from the bed in all his naked form and I quickly looked away. I felt shy all of a sudden acting as if we didn’t just f*ck all through the night like rabbits on heat.
“Everything is fine and everybody is okay,”
He put on his pants, k*ssed me thoroughly, and walked out of the room, locking the door firmly behind him.
I walked into the bathroom to wash my face, brushed, and also did other necessary things. Once I was done, I walked back into the room. As I was about to return to bed, I could hear Darius and Azalea’s gentle, whispering voices in the hallway. Although they tried to be as quiet as possible, I couldn’t miss out on the frequent rise in Darius‘ voice.
“You…” he paused mid–sentence. My eyes went wide and I bit down into my ch*ek. “Look so gorgeous. Does your beauty increase with each passing second?”
He walked us back into the room and slammed the door shut. For the entire day, all he did was f*ck me good and feed me better.
On getting to her apartment, I knocked twice but no one was answering the door. Knowing she lived alone, it didn’t occur to me that the place might be empty. On second thought, I decided to check if she was at the hospital. If I also don’t find her there, I would be left with no choice other than to ask Darius about her.
I was worried about her for reasons only I understood. I wasn’t supposed to care, but the thought of her being in trouble gnawed at me.

The door opened slightly as I tried knocking again and the wind carried two voices to my ear.
“Hello,” I called out as I opened the door wide and walked into the house. I should’ve left when I didn’t get any response but stubbornly, I called out again.
“Hellooooo,” drawing it out longer than usual.
“I told you to lock the door,”
“I thought I did,”
Two arguing voices came from one of the rooms inside the house. I could recognize Halle’s but I didn’t want to believe the second voice I was hearing.
There was no way he would be here.
I pushed open the door of the room and right there he was on the bed with Halle. I discovered something or maybe someone that could’ve gotten me murdered lying on the bed. The same person Darius had banned from the pack.
It was Charles!
