Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 51 Aurora: The door was knocked, takingoff guard considering that | knew that this family seemed to forget that the purpose of doors was to give sprivacy to the person who was inside the room.

| looked at the door for a second, watching as it opened, revealing Ivan whose eyes met mine. | took a deep breath and looked away from him, not needing his pity or to deal with his anger. They were two things that | found as painful right now, “You knew that Charlotte was here and yet you tookfor a fool.” | said, keeping my eyes on my lap. He froze, clearly not expecting my response, and | watched as he took a deep breath before he took a step forward.

“She is Alpha Dimitri’s ha rem, no matter what you are going to want to say about it, there is no way that you would...” “Him having a consort is not something that the elders would approve of considering that they choseas a maté for him. While that is not my concern with what | just stated, | am merely letting you know that you can stop the kind act with me, | am neither fooled nor do | care about whether or not she was here.” | said, my eyes avoiding his as he took a deep breath.

“You are weak and need to recover.” He said, and | scoffed before nodding. The last thing that | needed was for another person to tellthat. The amount of blood that I lost resulting with the fact that | was not only at risk of losing my baby but also my life didn’t make things any better for me. The anger that | felt at myself for what happened was one that | didn’t think that | would be going through, and the fact that no one saw that was another fact that pained me.

“If that is what you cto tell me, then you can leave.” | said, nodding at the door. He shook his head, makingfrown in confusion before he took a step back. | watched as he opened the door, and a woman wearing jeans and a shirt, a human, entered the room. | shook my head, waiting for what he was going to tell me, and he smiled.

“My mate, Natalia. This why | came, Aurora.” He said, and she looked down at her feet for a second. She wrapped her arm around herself as she avoided my gaze, and it took everything innot to hide under the blanket as | found myself not looking presentable, nor looking as cheerful as | would want to be when it cto seeing someone that | didn’t know.

“I heard that you almost lost your child, | do hope that you feel better.” She said, and | smiled and nodded, silently thanking her for her concern. | had to admit, the last thing that | expected was for the man to cand bring his mate after getting the advice from me, and the fact that he chose to bring her to introduce her tomeant a lot more than | could describe, and | could tell that he knew that very well.

“I am well, thank you, Natalia.” | said, and she smiled. “I take it that you are aware of things here, who we are as well?” “You needn't worry, my family has been allies with your pack for a long while now. Though humans, my father is still a Capo who is a partner of your Pakhan, in other words, your Alpha and mate.” She said, and | smiled. The word mate made my chest ache and it took everything innot to say that the man was never going to be my mate. He proyed totand tthat he wanted nothing to do with me, and that was something that hurtmore than | could admit.

“Well, letget better and | would love to know you. But | am sad to have lost an opportunity to meet you when | was in a better condition.” | said and she smiled.

“Alpha Dimitri must be very lucky to have you as a mate. Elegant, beautiful, and very kind with your words despite you being ill. It is not something that is given to every lady, | have to admit that much.” She said, and | smiled at her. The fact that she didn’t know that Dimitri hated my guts was something that makerelax to sextent, and the idea of the topic being buried was something that | was hoping for.

“I can see why you chose her,” | said, looking at Ivan. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she raised an eyebrow at him, makingsmile at how he was quick to pull it away.

“You are not going to touchuntil you have spoken to my father. You know, the last thing that | would want is to have false hopes only to find myself being the losing party in this one.” She said, and | smiled. She looked atand | shook my head at her, making her giggle before Ivan scoffed. “I will show myself out of the room, | can assthat you would want to rest.” “It was a pleasure meeting you, Natalia. And | am sure that we are going to be having more gatherings together as friends.” | said, and she smiled before taking a step back. She walked out of the room, and Ivan took a step back, moving to the side as Dimitri’s scent filled my nostrils before he entered the room.

His eyes met mine and | looked away from him, shaking my head as he scoffed. My heart ached, but | knew better than to say anything right now when the door was open.

Ivan didn’t say a word, but | watched as he walked out of the room before the Alpha turned his attention tocompletely.

“How are you feeling, Aurora?” He asked, takingoff guard at his sudden concern. The fact that he’s been playing this gonfor the past few hours was something that was annoying me, and | wished more than anything that he would stop this act.

“I know that you care less about me.” | said, putting a hand on my stomach. “The baby is fine and healthy. You needn't worry. Now, you can leave.” “When are you going to stop doing this, Aurora?” He asked, takingoff guard.

“Stop doing what, Alpha?” | asked, shaking my head.

“This, what you are doing?” He asked, his next question however, takingoff guard as | found myself freezing as | tried processing it. “When are we going to start acting as an Alpha and his Luna?”
