Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 47

Aurora:

“Don't worry, everything is going to be ready according to the rules of the council.” Jasmine said, and | smiled as | looked myself in the mirror, proud that we had our order confirmed for when we were heading to the Lord Alpha’s Estate.

| was a person who knew the rules and traditions very well. | knew what it was to go to the elder’s place and | knew what it was to go and see guests of higher rank. And one never, not for a minute, should dare to reject an elder’s invitation or go with their hands empty.

Asmall dish often did the job, but the higher our rank, the fancier the presentation was, and the more strict the council rules were. It was something that we all knew, and was something that | grew up learning. Therefore, now, to me, this was a normal lifestyle.

| hung up and put my phone down as | looked at the jewelry that | was planning on wearing this evening. | might not be treated like one, but | knew that | was the Alpha’s ‘mate’ and | still had to keep a certain figure. And in all honesty, it was something that satisfied me. Whether or not he saw me as his woman did not mean that | was going to change certain habits that | had for his sake.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

My bedroom door opened, and | took a deep breath as | looked at the Alpha through the mirror, Convincing him to knock was going to be like convincing a child that he shouldn't be playing with mud when he was in the playground. Therefore, | wasn’t going to bother trying.

“You knew that we were invited to the Lord Alpha,” he said, not bothering to wait for me to say a word about him barging in the way that he had. It wasn’t like | was indecent, but it was a sense of respect that the Alpha didn’t seem to have toward me.

“It was Ivan who got the message, | merely heard him talk about it because he was speaking by my side.” | said, turning to face the Alpha as | put on my earrings. The fact that lvan came to ask me about his mate was something that made my heart swell for him. It made me feel somewhat a lot calmer when it came his approach to me as the pack’s Luna,

The man’s eyes widened at my response, and | turned to the mirror, wanting to put on my second earring, knowing that the man merely came to cause trouble. He has been doing that since Charlotte left, and that was something that | was growing used to. “And you did not bother mentioning it.” He said watching as | turned to face him when | was done with the earring. His eyes met mine and he shook his head in question, waiting for my response. The fact that he wasn’t around to hear it earlier was not my fault, but | knew better than to argue with him right now.

And | couldn’t help but find myself wondering when all this hell was going to end. At least, | would know when he intended to look at me as if | was his mate rather than his enemy. If anything, | would know that I can hold onto to something, but right now, | only felt like | was fighting a one way war that had no ending.

“Can | ask what your problem is with me?” | asked, shaking my head. “I am trying to tend to my duties as your mate, and yet, all | find from you is not only rejection and resent, but hate and anger too. You look at me as if | was a parasite and | have don’t nothing but honor you and our mating.”

“Do not pretend that you have another choice, Aurora. You are to be kicked out of your pack the second you go them if you choose to break the mating bond. | believe that your mother telling you off on our mating night should have been proof enough of that.” He said, making my chest burn. My blood boiled, and for the first time in my life, | felt like all the weight that was in the world and now | was just fighting hard not to burst out on the man who thought that he could speak to me as if | was nothing. “lam carrying your child, | have been doing my best to get ONE kind word out of you...”

“Then stop f**king trying.” He said, taking me off guard. My chest ached, and | shook my head at the man who took a step toward me. His eyes met mine as his b*dy towered over my own, and | couldn’t help but find myself choking in my own breath. The pain that | felt at that moment was one that | didn’t expect to feel, especially when | knew that neither one of the things that | was dealing were due to personal choices. Had they been, | knew that | wouldn’t have been here.

His chest rose and fell with each breath that he took but it was his next words that took me off guard as they were the last

thing that | would have expected him to say. Hell, they were the last words that | would expect any Alpha who was having a baby to tell to his woman, even if she was a consort.

“And if you think that you carrying the baby was going to change anything between the two of us,” he said, glaring down at my stomach. He put his hand on it, making my heart race as | feared him doing something that was going to hurt me. The last thing that | wanted was to lose my child, but judging by his next words, | could tell that the feeling wasn’t mutual. “Then f**king lose it. You have the chance to do so and | am not going to be stopping you. At least | know that | would be free of the curse that you threw my way with this f**king story...”
