Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 70 Aurora: “How are you feeling?” Natalia asked, and 1 smiled, shaking my head at her.

| couldn’t even describe how thankful | was for the fact that she not only stayed by my side throughout my labor, but was also more supportive than a sister would have been despite the tough situation that | was in.

“I am fine,” | said, moving to the side for her to sit by my side. Mariana, who was standing in the room, walked to the kitchenette that was in the in-suite that | was in. I didn’t even know that there was an in-suite like this one in this house. But the more | stayed here, the more | got to know about it. “But | have to thank you for what you did for me.” “I didn’t do anything that you wouldn't have done had | been in the ssituation. Plus, there is also the fact that you are this pack’s Luna, and your little one is the pack’s heir.” She said, and | smiled, looking at my daughter. | didn’t even know what we were going to nher yet, but | knew that it was something that the Alpha was to decide. The two of us have yet to discuss anything concerning the baby’s nand considering the choice of us not talking to one another, and it coming from my side, | knew that | wasn’t going to be able to complain even if | wanted to.

“I am still thankful for what you have done. | did not have my mother by my side, but neither you or the Alpha left my side, and am more than a little thankful for that.” | said, and she nodded as a small smile formed on her I*ps.

“You know, he stayed by your side since the minute you were out of the room. He ensured that you stayed in a comfortable place and that you had nurses around the hour while he barely moved from your side to go to the bathroom, shower, and change. Otherwise, we didn't see the man moving from the chair in fear that you might wake up and not find him by your side. Natalia said, and | looked away from her for a second. “I know that you might be having a few...” “Natalia, | really do not want to talk about it.” | said, stopping her. Whether or not that was true, | knew that it wasn’t going to change all the facts that | knew about the two of us. And that started with the fact that | knew that the Alpha would rather die than be by my side as my mate. “I know the reason why he did it, and..” “Aurora, he was being genuinely concerned...” “He was by my side because he was afraid ofdying. He wouldn't have been able to explain...” t was going to be very easy to explain that you passed away during giving birth to your child, Aurora.” She said, stopping me. My chest ached, and she extended her hand to me, taking mine in hers. “It is very common for wolves to pass away during child birth when it is an Alpha’s child, and you know that very well. You were carrying the Alpha’s baby when in reality, you are of a lower rank. Your b*dy wouldn't have taken it, and you would have passed away very easily and believe me, it was going to be an excuse that all your elders would have understood.” “What | am trying to tell you is that the Alpha was genuinely concerned of you. He did not want to lose you, and believe me, if he did, we would have seen it in his eyes.” She said, making my chest burn. “He looked at your baby, lifted her in his arms, and held her to his chest as he promised that he would be bringing you back to her.

He did not aim to lose you, and | doubt that you should be thinking that he would want to think of not having you in your baby’s life or his.” “Do you really expectto believe that over the facts that | know?” | asked, shaking my head at the woman.

“Do not getwrong. Natalia, but you were chosen by Ivan. The two of you were fated and you could have either rejected one another or accepted. The two of you clicked, and you chose to be together. What about me? | am with a man who doesn’t want to lookin the eye with a gaze that..” “His gaze toward you has changed and deep down, even you have seen it, Aurora.” She said, stopping me. “And while | do understand your point. The two of you were arranged, and believe me, | have seen more arranged marriages in my life than anyone would have around the block. | am the one person who chose to go against her family with bringing someone that | wanted to be with. Now, you can imagine how many men and women | have seen get into marriages that | don’t even want to think of how they are going.” “So, yes, | do understand how hard it would be to cope with a person that you were suddenly forced to live with.

And seeing the circumstance, and judging by what | heard, | am guessing that it wasn’t all honeymoon, stars, and sparks floating around. The two of you have struggled, but that doesn’t mean for a second that you can’t fix things.” She said, taking a deep breath as she got up from the edge of the bed. “Think of what I said, Aurora, and don’t lose something as special. You know, sometimes that special thing might just end up getting you out of more darkness than you might have imagined.” “And what if it sinksin deeper?” | asked, and she smiled. She looked at the door for a second, and | wrapped my around myself.

y arm Sometimes it is worth finding out,” she said, taking a step back before turning around to walk out. “Give it a chance. | am sure that it will be worth wonders...”
