Dimitri:
“Welcome over,” I smiled, greeting my mother as she entered the house. Her and
dad both entered the house, and though I knew that I was supposed to be
greeting my father first as he was the Alpha, I also knew that she was not the
type to follow. such rules. It was against her to do so anyway, and I often
believed that it was the reason why my father initially fell for her. The fire in her
eyes was one that I knew attracted him more than anything.
Mom smiled, hugging me tightly, and I couldn't help but find myself but smile as I
knew that she was going to be happy to see her grandchild. It was something
that I knew she was excited about. And I couldn't help but find myself growing
curious about how she would be reacting when she saw Angelina.
It was only a matter of time before our other guests arrived too, and I knew that
the faster they met her, the better the outcome was going to be. At least, she was
going to be able to have a little time to see and hold her if she wanted to.
Aurora, who stood beside me, didn’t say a word as she looked at me for a
second. I knew that mom and dad would be more than a little proud of her. At
least they knew that the family heir was going to be coming from our bloodline
and that their bloodline was not going to go extinct like other families did. And
though I knew that even I didn’t expect things to happen this way, I was glad that
they did.
“You know, Dimitri, the last thing that I expected was to find myself treated as a
guest in my own son’s home.” She said, looking at Aurora. It was something that I
knew she hated. Her leaving the house when I had the elders’ arrangement was
something that she didn’t like. In her mind, she would have wanted to be within
the pack’s grounds, but I knew that it wasn’t going to be ending well if that
happened. And the last thing that I needed was for anyone to see me with
Charlotte, even if they knew of it and were to stay quiet about it.
I cupped my mom’s cheeks and k*ssed her forehead, letting my I*ps linger there
for a few seconds. It was true, I didn't like the idea of her living in the pack as I
knew that it would have come with consequences, but that didn’t mean that I
wanted her to act like a stranger.
“You know that this is going to be your home, forever and always, mama.” I said,
my voice softening. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me, hugging met
tightly before I pulled away to look at my father. He stood two steps back, looking
at both mom and I, and Aurora smiled when mom approached. Normally, I knew
that it was dad who was supposed to be greeted first, but mom was not going to
change her ways now.
He smiled, extending his hand to me, and shaking his hand, he pulled me in for a
hug. I knew that he was more than happy being a grandfather. It was every
Alpha’s pride and glory to know that he was to have his offspring having his own.
And I knew that if we were ever to have a boy to carry our last name; my father
was going to be flying of happiness.
Our daughter was to be his spoiled princess, but in every family, and especially
in- packs like ours, and being a Capo; I knew what it was to have a son by my
side. And it wasn't only for now. This was going to be something that was going
to be lasting for years to come.
You two
have made us proud.” Dad said, looking at Aurora who mom smiled at. She had
her hand on Aurora’s arm as she looked at her a if she was the one person that
she could ever see. Aurora’s cheeks reddened, and knowing her, I knew that this
was not something that she expected from my family.
If anything, I knew that she expected resentment, and I couldn't blame her. She
didn’t know how they were, but what she saw of me was not all pleasant.
“I have to admit, I have not been this happy since Dimitri came into this world.
They always did say that the one thing more valuable than one’s son, is their own
grandchild. And though I am yet to meet her, I am more than happy to know that
she is born, and I know that I am going to be able to trust that both you and
Dimitri are going to be the parents that she deserves, if not even more.” Mom
said, and Aurora smiled.
Mom hugged my woman tightly, and I couldn't help but find myself regretting how
I treated her until now. It was times like this, especially when I saw her growing
heavier, when I saw her being tired and yet, not complaining, and when she woke
up that night, that I couldn't help but regret every moment that I was harsh on
her. She was an angel sent to me, and yet, I was more than a little determined to
break her heart. And that was something that I didn’t like about myself.
The doorbell rang, and both Aurora and I looked at the door, knowing that it was
her parents. The fact that they didn’t bother coming to see Aurora earlier did not
sI*p my mind. I knew that we had told them earlier than others. Mom and dad
were the second people to know, but I wanted Aurora to inform her parents in
case they wanted to come. To my surprise, her mother requested that her
knowing did not spread around as she wasn’t around to come by and help.
“Mom, dad, welcome over.” Aurora said, smiling at them. She looked her mother
in the eye, and the silent message that the woman sent told me that she was.
warning her daughter not to voice out anything that happened. She wouldn't want
her figure to be scratched, it was something that I understood, but it hurt me.
more to know that Aurora couldn't do anything about it.
“Why didn’t you call us earlier, little one?” She asked, looking at her daughter. I
had to admit, I tensed at the woman's question, knowing that she was only
asking because she was in front of my parents. I didn’t know how things were
between Aurora and her mother before, but if this was how she was being treated
now, then I didn’t understand how I didn’t see her weakness before. “You had
your first baby, you must have needed someone to help you. You know, at least
teach you how to handle things.”
“You know that I have handled the packs children before, mom.” Aurora said,
looking at her mom, watching as her face dropped before she looked at me.
“Plus, I had Dimitri by my side. Neither he nor Natalia left me for a second. Dimitri
even chose to ignore the rules and was by my side throughout my labor, and I
know that it is something that this all the more special.”
The woman looked at me for a second, studying my expression, and I wrapped
my arm around my mate, pulling her to my chest as she looked at her mother.
Both their eyes were fixed on one another for a second, and I couldn't help but
find myself feel the tension that rose in the air around us.
“You know that my daughter didn’t want to concern us, but you could have called
us, Alpha Dimitri. We would have helped her out, and you know, with everything
that you have to deal with, being busy with my daughter must have taken a huge
tow out of your time. I have to apologize for that.” Her mother said, taking the two
of us off guard. Aurora tensed, and I tightened my arm around my woman, not
wanting her to say something that will backfire on her.
The woman's eyes studied her daughter's expression, clearly challenging her to
say something different. But I knew not to let her do so. It was something that
was going to get her in trouble, more trouble than she could afford. And I didn't
want her to undergo something like that. Plus, there was also the fact that we
had our guests coming over soon, and the last thing that we needed was for
drama to be occurring tonight.

To say the least, I could tell by her parents’ expression that this was the last thing
that they would have expected me to say. And I knew why.
Aurora's mother knew of what happened on the night that I was with Charlotte.
She knew very well that Aurora saw us, but she didn’t care. She didn't try to stop
anything, and she didn’t even bother approaching me to warn me against this.

know whether or not her father knew
of this, but if he did; then they just
proved to me that these people

saw as cruel, even for people like

I wasn't going to stop Charlotte from coming only to start a problem with my
mate's parents, it was going to be wrong.
“Yes, what do you think?” I asked, supporting Aurora's idea. “How about we go

Yeah?”
