Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 49 Aurora: | gasped as | took a deep breath, processing the fact that | was awake.

My stomach ached, and | couldn't help but frown when | found myself laying in the pack infirmary with Dimitri sitting beside me.

His eyes met mine momentarily, but | was quick to look away from him, not wanting to meet his gaze. To my surprise, the man’s hand took mine and he slowly and carefully, intertwined our fingers.

“The two of you are fine,” he said, and | nodded, looking away form him as | did. My chest ached, and the fact that he was here instead of his beta toldthat whatever happened, it was big enough to have him coming here in the first place. Otherwise, | knew that he wouldn't be bothering with more than sending Ivan here to ‘check on and tend to me. “Why didn’t you call for help when you felt pain?” “How did you assthat | felt anything to begin with?” | asked, shaking my head in question, “I believe that you made sure that | knew that you wanted nothing to do with me, | doubt that you would want to look atany differently now.” “You almost lost the child, Aurora. And not only that, but you could have lost your life had we not found you on time.” He said, and | smiled as | fought my tears from falling from my eyes. It wasn’t the fact that | knew that | could have lost both my and my child’s lives, but it was the fact that not only did | now confirm that he would have given the child to Charlotte, but that he didn’t even care about me. | was just a burden that he was forced to deal with, and that was something that broke more inthan I could have realized.

“I would have made it easier for you to get back to your ex. Not to mention, the fact that you would be rid of me.

| doubt that it is something that you didn’t want.” He frowned at my words, and | shook my head in question.

After what | felt, and after feeling as helpless and alone as | did, | knew that not only did | have no one, but that | was going to have to stand strong regardless of what was to happen. And if it meant that | was going to be losing my life in the process, then so be it. “That might have ruined your plans when it cto the fact of having my child to give her, but I think that even if she couldn’t give you a child, a consort would do.” “What are you talking about, Aurora...?” “She toldwhat you planned on doing when | gave birth, and by bringing her here, | think that she might be right.” | said, and he frowned. “Oh, | am sorry, | wasn’t supposed to hear of her whereabouts, was 1?” know that she was here?” He asked, and | shook my heart “Her scent has been masked, how did you at him. As if was going to be believing such a lie when | caught her scent the second that she entered the pack grounds, and | wasn’t dumb, | could. catch her scent the second that Dimitri walked back inside the house.

“You can try a different gto play on me, but this one is not going to work, Dimitri.” | said, and he frowned. | shook my head in question before he took a deep breath and nodded, not saying a word concerning the topic.

“I am not going to take your child away from you, Aurora...

“How about you bring her over here and repeat that again? Because it seems that one of you is takingfor a fool. One of you is saying that you promised her my child, and the other is saying otherwise.” | said, sick of everything that | was dealing with. One part ofwas merely thankful for the fact that I didn’t lose my baby, but another knew that | would have saved my child the fuss of having an Alpha father like himself. At least, | would have known that they were safe, | wasn’t very sure of that now.

“I am not here to answer to you, Aurora, nor am | required to explain anything to you when it comes to my pack members. And Charlotte is a pack member whether or not you like to admit it.” He said, and | smiled. My smile was both cold and sarcastic, and | couldn’t help but find myself growing angrier by the minute despiteknowing that | was supposed to be taking a break.

“Then you can please leave. You can rest assured that | am not going to hurt myself or my child.” I said, and his eyes. hardened.

The idea oflosing a baby that | was fighting hard to protect was something that | personally found as difficult, especially when | knew that the elders now knew of it, and the last thing that | wanted was to find myself dealing with something that | couldn’t handle. Plus, there was the fact, the main one, that | didn’t want to find myself burying my baby with my hands. And considering that | knew that | had no one in my life, | knew that | was going to be doing everything by myself, that wasn’t something that | wanted to risk dealing with when | knew that | might not even have a family to lean on or the proper help that | wanted.

He got up from the chair that he was sitting on before takingby surprise as he sat on the edge of the bed beside me. His eyes met mine before he smiled, making my heart race as | found myself thinking of more things than | could process right now.

“From now on, | am not going to allow you to go through anything by yourself.” He said, his voice both calm and stern as he lookedin the eye. “I give you my word that things are going to be different.
