Chapter 98

Dimitri:

| walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of pants, raising an eyebrow when | saw Aurora fiddling with her dress’s zipper. She didn’t look at me, but | knew that she was well aware that | was right behind her.

“Do you need help?” | asked, slowly approaching her. She didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but | watched as she dropped her hands in defeat.

“Please,” she said, and | nodded. | was sure to brush my finger over her back gently, watching as goosebumps rose over her skin at the gentle contact.

“Done,” | said, and she turned to face me before raising a necklace. It was the one. that | gave her when she gave birth to Angelina. “I am not going to take something that | gave you.”

“| found it in my jewelry box, and | knew that it was you who put it there.” She said, and | nodded. It was indeed me, but | didn’t want her to think that | was going take back something that | gave her because we argued.

“Because | put it back. You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to...” “Dimitri, please.” She said, stopping me. “I can’t accept it knowing that someone else is in your heart.”

“| didn’t give it to you because | fell for you, Aurora.” | said, and she looked me in the eye. “I did not lie to you about how | felt for you, nor did | fake any feelings that | didn’t have. But what | am doing is for the two of us to try and build something out of our wrecked start. | gave you the necklace because it is in our tradition that we give our women a present when they give birth. Some used to give daggers, others handmade jewelry. What we gave just depended on what we wanted to see on or with our women. While | know that you are upset with me and you are not to be blamed for it, | want you to know that | am not going to take back something that represents you giving me a present, and that is our daughter.”

“So, please, if you don’t want to wear it; put it back inside the box. But | am not going to take it back, Aurora.” | said, taking a step back. | looked at the black dress that she was wearing, and couldn’t help but smirk when | saw that she had a light shade of makeup on. | knew that she was going to be joining us for dinner by just her outfit, and when she noticed that | was looking at her, she blushed and looked down at her feet.

“| take it that you finally chose to listen to what | asked,” | said, and she shook her head.

“| didn’t,” she said, making me raise an eyebrow. “But | am going to join you for dinner. Might as well be seen with you as your mate, or am | wrong?”

“As long as we don’t end up turning the table or burning the house down; you are not.” | said, and she smiled. “You look beautiful, by the way. I'll leave you to get ready while | head down to the office.”

“Shirtless?” She asked, and | winked. “Jealous that others might see me?” | asked, and she rolled her eyes.

“They can see you n*ked for all | care.” She said, and | playfully rolled my eyes. “But | was simply searching for the cape of manners that you wanted me to drape around my shoulders when you refused to have it on yours.”

“You needn't worry, malyshka, | am more than open to showing them to you. However, it can take a while, and as you may know, we have hungry pack members who are going to be waiting for us to join them for dinner.” | said, and her sarcastic smile faded before she turned to the closet. | smirked and walked to my side to choose a shirt before turning to the door.

You can play hard all you want, malyshka. I'll know how to drop that wall of your down...

“Hey,” Natalia said, smiling when she saw Aurora sitting beside her. Aurora winked in response and Ivan shook his head in question. | shook my head as a response, silently letting him know that things were not the way that | wanted them to be, but | knew that | was going to find a way to make them better.

“We have a problem, by the way.” Ivan said, his voice above a whisper as he walked toward me. | frowned in confusion and shook my head, not understanding what more were we going to have to deal with than what we did until now. | knew that a lot could occur, but | also hoped that we didn’t have to deal with more hell than we would want to at this point.

“Tell me, does it include the letter ‘C‘?” | asked, and he shook his head. “More like the letter ‘S.” He said, and | frowned. “The elders,”

“What?” | asked, shaking my head in question. lvan nodded at me to walk toward the hall. And Aurora looked at me for a second, frowning in confusion along with the other pack members who were sitting at the table. “You start, we will be back. in a minute.”

The two of us walked toward the front door, knowing that we wouldn't be as heard considering the clattering that was going around between the kitchen and dining room. And | shook my head in question at my beta, waiting for what he was going to tell me.

“What happened?”

“The elders were seen leaving the city, in particular, Elder Jordan and Lord Alpha Sirius.” He said, and | frowned.

“What?” | asked, shaking my head in question. “They were running away, it wasn’t them ‘officially’ leaving. You know, they do have their times, but this was done.

discretely, and rumors have it that they are searching for them.” “Why the fuck would they be...?”

“| don’t know, but something tells me that we are going to be dealing with hell fire.” He said, and | took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of my nose.

“Have the men the city’s cameras and find out where they went. We will know how to deal with things from there,” | said, nodding at him to turn to the dining room. My eyes met Aurora’s and | saw Natalia frowning at Ivan as we both sat down.

“Is everything alright?” Natalia asked, shaking her head at her mate. Ivan k*ssed the crown of her head, letting his I*ps linger there for a few seconds before pulling away to rest his forehead against her temple.

“Everything is fine, malyshka. Don’t worry,” he said, and Natalia smiled.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

However, to my surprise, | looked at Aurora to find her eyes on mine as she frowned. Her expression held a silent message that | didn’t understand, but | knew one thing.

Whatever was going on, we really were in for hellfire...
