SWNOVELS Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Aurora:
“Angelina,” Dimitri said, and 1 shook my head in question at the choice of name.
The name was a surprise to me, especially when I didn’t expect him to be caring
about me in this situation. “It means angel, and I think that our little heir would be
having her mother’s angelic side. I believe that giving her the name would only
enhance the feature. As you may know, it is often said that we get a lot from our
names.”
“You do know that you don’t have to pretend that..?”
“I am not pretending. Aurora.” He said, stopping me. He got up from the edge of
the bed where he was sitting, and walking to her crib, I watched as he carried her
in his arms. He slowly brought her to me and my stomach churned when I saw
him extending her to me, wanting me to hold her. It reminded me of the first time I
held her when I woke up.
I looked at her as she opened her eyes to look at her father and I couldn’t help
but find myself smiling at her angelic expression. “You know, when I woke up, I
was scared that I had lost her. I didn’t even remember what happened, but when
I looked around me and when I remembered that I was giving birth..”
“Everyone was afraid of losing you that night” He said, stopping me. “You
wouldn't believe it if I described how much we were scared of it. But even the
pack doctors found and saw it as a miracle that you survived. You lost a lot of
blood, and that is something that pained me more than anything.”
I put my hand on my stomach for a second before looking up at the man, my
eyes meeting his for a second and he smiled. “I realized that night that you
meant more to me than I already knew or realized. And though, I have to admit, I
was somewhat ashamed of myself that it took such an occasion to realize it.”
“I am going to be very honest with you, Dimitri; I never expect you to look at me
any differently. With the way that we started, and with the fact that you had
Charlotte when the two of us were supposed to be mates. The way that you
refused me, and the fact that I knew that you wanted nothing to do with me in the
first place, I couldn't help but find myself doubting that we would ever be a couple
in the first place.” I said, choosing to be honest.
I knew that this was a bold move from my side, and I knew for fact that the man
could have shut me off; but I wanted him to know what I felt toward him, and I
wanted him to know that I was happy with what we were now.
I
“I still don’t know what to think of this, but I am going to stay thankful for it as not
to lose it. I don’t know what I would be doing if it turned out to be a lie, but I am
hoping that it is not a moment of excitement alone.” I said, keeping my eyes on
his. I had to admit, it being a moment of excitement was something that scared
the life out of me.
1 knew that he could just be happy for the fact that he now had an heir. It was
something that ensured his strength between the packs. And considering the fact
that all the elders were going to be witnessing it, I knew for fact that it was
something that every other Alpha would want to take his place for. The man’s
position as Alpha was to grow stronger now that he did his “duty, and that was
something that we both knew very well.
“Had it been a moment of excitement, neither you or Natalin would have seen me
in this room for more than a minute after
you
woke up” Dimitri said, looking me in the eye. “I am not the type to stay in a
woman's room and when rejected. I know to
back
away. and 1 think that you of all people should know my resentment and when it
happens.”
“And that is why I am worried that it might happen again. Don’t get me wrong, but
I have all the reasons to be both worried and scared, especially after everything
that the two of us dealt with, Alpha.” I said, and he smiled. I looked down at my
daughter for a second, smiling softly when I saw her beautiful blue eyes staring
up at me.
“We can always take things slow, I doubt that we have anything that would stop
us from doing so if we want to. All we have to do is g
is give a right response to what we believe is right or wrong.” He said, and I
smiled. “We can see how it goes and how we can build our relationship from
there.”
“What if it backfires 1 understand that both options are there and we can't really
predict, but I hope that you would understand my point as well.” I said, and he
nodded, smiling at me.
“We are going to handle this relationship, or mating if I am to be exact with my
choice of words, the way that we should have in the first place. I know that we
didn't start in the smoothest of ways, and I hate to say that I did not want to find
myself dealing with such a situation.” He said, looking away from me. “And
having our pasts, well, mine to be exact. I hate to admit that yours is far cleaner
than will ever...”

said, stopping him. “Had I been born
a man, I would have been able to bed
whoever 1 wanted, and no one would
have cared. They would have claimed
that I was feeding off my hunger until
I either fond a mate or had one
chosen for me. In my case, that is
different, especially as a woman who
despite being a bastard had more
responsibilities to take care of for the
family that took me in with no doubt

He stayed quite for a few seconds, and I raised an eyebrow, knowing that he had
something that he wanted to tell me. He opened his mouth for a second before
closing it again, and I nodded, silently asking him to voice out whatever it was
that he had in mind.
“Did it ever occur to you to search of where you came from?” He asked, and I
smiled, looking down at my daughter. It pained to know that I was never going to
be able to explain to her why I was who I was, and why I didn’t know where I
came from.

I did, but somethings are often best
left unsolved, I guess. My parents
often tried keeping me busy from
that search, and I, being the good girl,
often knew not to ask them.
Otherwise, I was going to end up
going through more hell than I could
handle, and believe me, only a fool
would go against people like my

parents.” I said, remembering the
time that I had asked about who I
was. I was tired of the pack members
calling me or looking at me as a
bastard. And when my father found
out, he not only killed and punished
those who took part in humiliating
me, but he and mother made sure
that I never dared open the topic
again. I knew not to ask anymore,
and they got their peace of mind of
my random searches whenever I got
annoyed as a teenager. The content

“But aren't you the least bit curious?” He asked, and I scoffed, shaking my head.
The fact that he was asking told that this was more than just ME.
“Are you?” I asked, shaking my head and he looked down at his lap for a second,
avoiding my eyes. “I used to be, but I was quick to learn not to be.”
