Chapter 32
Dimitri:
My office door was knocked, and I looked up from the paper that I was reading
through as I caught Aurora's scent.
She didn’t bother entering as she waited by the door, and getting up from my
chair, I walked toward the door, opening it for her.
“You could have walked inside, I think that you know that I was already well
aware that it was you.” I said, taking a step back as I watched her enter the office
carrying a tray. The tray had two different types of juices and a plate that was
covered with a silver lid
“I stayed back waiting for your permission to enter, Alpha. I know that there might
have been something that you were busy with and I did not wish to disturb you,
my apologies if I did.” She said, and I scoffed. She walked toward the coffee table
that I had here and I watched as she set the tray before removing the lid,
revealing sausages, beans, and eggs. The toast was grilled and there were small
plates that had butter, jam, and honey in them. “I didn’t know what you would like
to eat, but considering the time, I figured that something that would be suitable
for brunch would have been a better option.”
I kept my eyes on the plate for a second too long, processing the fact that despite
me being with Charlotte for years and despite everything that she had, she never
did have the courtesy to do something like this for me. Hell, she barely even
entered the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee, I shouldn't have really
expected her to be the one to cook for me.
“If there is anything else that you would like or would have preferred..”
“You can leave, Aurora.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes widened in surprise and
she looked at me, shaking her head in question as she did.
“Did I say or do something that would offend you, Alpha?” She asked, and I
raised an eyebrow at her, silently asking why she was still questioning what I
asked her to do. She looked down at her feet before taking a step back. Her
heart raced and she clenched and unclenched her fist as she clearly tried
calming herself down before she left the office.
I walked toward the couch that was in front of the table before grabbing the
utensils, noticing that despite this being something that was in my office rather
than the dining table, she was sure that they were wrapped with a white napkin
that was tied with a golden belt. This was something that the maids often set on
their own when we had guests over. The concierges would either instruct them
on what to do or they would know of the importance of the guests arriving,
therefore, to see that she was doing this for me, in my office, and on a normal
morning like this one, I couldn't help but find myself growing somewhat amazed
and a little surprised.
“What do you have planned under your sleeve, huh, Aurora?”
I walked out of my office, holding my empty tray before taking it to the kitchen.
The headmistress, Akshana’s eyes widened in surprise as she processed the
fact that I was carrying the empty tray, but I needed to know whether it was
Aurora who cooked or the maids and the woman was simply lying to catch my
attention.
“Alpha? We were going to come and bring it...”
“Did Aurora cook this?” I asked, stopping her. Her eyes widened in surprise
before she quickly nodded.
“Was there something wrong with it? She did her best for it to suit your taste
based on your preferences as I instructed her. She said, and I nodded in
understanding.
“She is a good cook.” I said, noting out, “I grew curious on whether or not it was
her who made the food or she was just faking it for the attention, but considering
that you just confirmed it. It seems to me that I am going to have a lot to deal with
concerning her.”
“Alpha, there was also a minor setback with Lady Charlotte.” I frowned in
confusion and shook my head at Akshana, waiting for what she was going to say.
She crossed her arms over her chest and I watched as she hesitated for a
second. “She chose to threaten your Luna and the kitchen staff that she would be
making them pay for what she was living through right now. She
asked us to kick Luna Aurora out of the kitchen as it is not in our ways to have
anyone cooking for the Alpha except the stall”
“It wasn't in HER ways, but she knows very well that a Luna was ways to tend to
her pack. Whether it was taking care of their food or even their children if
orphaned.” I said, and Akshana nodded, knowing the rules well. She worked for
my parents before me, and considering that she was there when I was growing
older, I knew that I couldn't trust anyone else with the job that she was doing. Her
eyes met mine for a second and she sighed.
“She
e grew angry when I stopped her, and then she started with her threats. She
said, explaining the situation. “While I do understand your decision in denoting
her from your main lady consort to a kitchen staff, I do not see it as safe for your
Luna or the unborn child for her to be taking charge of the food that is being
served. She might not poison them directly, but she could harm both enough to
have you losing them even after birth or even worse, she could end up harming
Aurora enough to have her losing her life before she could even give birth to the
child or as she gives birth to the baby. And ycku know how hard it is for someone
to be taking care of an Alpha and Luna's child if not the same mother, especially
in early stages.
“I will make further arrangements in ensuring that none of that happens.” I said,
looking at Akshana who nodded as a small smile played on her Ips. “For now,
just ensure that she doesn’t end up doing what you just said, and I will ensure
that she knows her limit for what she did earlier.”
“Yes, Alpha.” She said, and I nodded, taking a step back as I turned to walk out of
the kitchen. My eyes met Aurora's for a second before she was quick to drop her
gaze to the ground, avoiding my eyes as I took a step toward her.
Charlotte, who was in dusting one of the shelve looked at the two of us for a
second and I nodded in thanks at Aurora.
“Thank you for the last breakfast” I said, keeping my eyes on her as I knew that
Charlotte wasn't the only one watching. “It was appreciated and I expect to see
you on the dining table today during lunch. It is time for you to start acting like the
Luna that you are supposed to be..
