Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 78
Aurora:
“You and Dimitri seem to be getting along quite well.” Mom said, seeming more.
or less annoyed as she stated it. I knew that she didn’t want me being
affectionately attached to the Alpha. In her mind, our mating was a mere
agreement that she didn’t want us to get out of. She believed that if we became
intimate and if feelings started getting involved, then we were going to end up
ruining things. But that was not the case, in my opinion at least.
The two of us were the last to leave the nursery, and entering the dressing room
for mom to check her appearance in the mirror. And being my “mother, she
claimed that wanted to give me advices that would “help’ me in this stage. I
wasn’t dumb, I knew from the second that she called me that she was going to
say or do something that was going to either break or ruin the night.
“Thankfully, yes.” I said, choosing to be blunt with my response. There was not
point in me acting as if I was very much happy with her being around. I couldn't
help but find myself recalling how she had treated me on the “wedding’ night, and
the fact that we called her to come when I gave birth, at least, two weeks after it.
I needed to make sure that I was okay enough to be able to stand. I didn’t want
to scar her when she came, but I knew not to be surprised when I was shut off by
her.
She looked at me, studying my expression for a second before raising an
amused. eyebrow. I knew that mom often came up with something that would
ruin my nights when they were the most important to ME. She saw that I was
happy with Dimitri, and that was the reason why she was going to be sure to ruin
it. Had it been the other way around and had I been upset that I was going to be
with him, I knew that she was gong to be the happiest mother who was going to
give me advices of how to fix things between us.
“You always were blunt in your responses when you were angry.” She said,
pretending to know anything about me. “But you are forgetting that the person
who stands in front of you is your mother. And no matter what I am going to tell
you, you are going to at least owe it to me to respect the years that I took you in
when you had no one.
To say that I was surprised with what she just said was not going to be a lie. This
being the last thing that I expected her to rub in my face tonight, I stood, baffled
for a second, trying to find the right words to say as to respond to what she just
told me. Mom, however, simply smiled, waiting for my response as her cold eyes
met mine. And though I knew very well to stay quiet about the topic, the pain that
I felt was one that I couldn't help but hold my breath because of.
“I am not being blunt with my responses, mother. You stated something that you
saw, and I merely responded to it. You don’t need to worry about me, nor do you
need to make a big deal about something that does not exist.” I said, taking a
deep
breath as I tried to contain myself. I clenched my fist once, a bad habit that I had
whenever I wanted to clear my mind. Mom looked down at my hand, knowing
that she managed to get on my nerves. Tonight was going to be about my
daughter, and I knew that she wanted to ruin it for me. But the last thing that I
wanted or needed was to allow that. No matter how much she wanted to break
that in me, I knew not to allow it.
“You speak as if I do not know my own daughter. Anyhow, I am not to dwell the
topic as I initially wanted to speak to you about something. I believe that it is long
past the time for it, but I had promised your father that I will only speak to you
about it when you have given birth to your first child. And now that you have, I
think that you should know. Mind you, I believe that you should have known a
long time ago, but I made a promise, and now is the time for you to know.” I
frowned in confusion at the fact that she was deciding to open an “important
topic right now. It was a rule that she had during public events, ALL topics that
were important were to be spoken of when the event was over. She didn’t like it
when she was tensed up, as in her mind, she was not the type to know how to
control her anger if that were to occur. But when it was me, like now, I knew that
putting a challenge like this was in order for her to be satisfied.
“I think that it is time that you know who you are and where you came from.” She
said, and I frowned. It was a taboo topic for me to talk about as I grew up;
therefore, to see her opening it right now, I knew that this was something that she
knew would break me.
“Do you really believe that tonight of all nights, the night that should be about my
daughter, and the night that the elders and my guests were arriving in a bit, is the
right time to talk about a topic like this one?” I asked, shaking my head at her.
“Are me? Or is it a vocation to make my life hell whenever you saw my smile?
And believe me, it is something that I grew used to, but this is a subject that you
taught me to ignore. Why now?”
you determined to ruin everything that I see as important Dead at her.
She looked at me as if I had grown a second head. But I was damn tired of being
treated the way that I was by her. I was tired of her looking at me as if I was the
lesser person, and not only that, but the person that she could take advantage of
simply because she wanted to. And I could tell that she knew that.
“I am to tell you who you are, and you are being angry about it?” She asked,
shaking her head at me.
“Are you not the one who always said to treat all problems after such events? Are
you not the one who forbade me from even bringing up the topic as it was one.
that broke your heart whenever you thought about it? f**ks sake, you once locked
me up for a week for begging you to allow me at least search alone if you would
not want to help me. Why are you choosing to tell me now?” I asked, shaking my
head at my mother.
“Your father and I always agreed to tell you when you had your home and when
you had your first child that we were going to tell you. You would have settled in
your place and you would know that you are no less than those that you live with,
if anything...”
“You just want to ruin my night.” I said, stopping her. She smiled, her smile cold
and menacing, one that I knew all too well. “Who is it? Let me know and get all
this bullshit over with, not that it would be making a difference to me as I will not
go and look for him.”
“You are not going to need to look for him. The man has been right in front of you
all along.” She said, making me frown in confusion. “You just never connected
the dots to know that he was not giving you this much attention out of nothing.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, voicing out my confusion.
“Have you not noticed that one person in particular gave you more attention than
he gave others?” She asked, raising an eyebrow at me. “Did you not see the way
that he looked at you?”
“Mother, who is the man? Enough with your riddles, I have guests to take care of
and elders that are arriving.” I said, glaring at her. She scoffed and shook her
head
at me.
“You have always been naive, it is one of the reasons why we never confronted
you about it.” She said, looking me dead in the eye. “It was one of the reasons
why we always chose to keep his identity a secret from you. You would have
been impulsive enough to act on emotions. And I doubt that it would have gone
well for any of us. And as you may know, we have kept good relations with him,
the last thing that we needed was for you to ruin them out of your anger.” “What
are you talking about, mother?” I asked, shaking my head. Disgust filled my tone
at her behavior, and I could tell that she saw it in my eyes and read it in my tone.
“What would I have ruined for you with a man who threw me as if I were some
kind of pest that he wanted to get rid of?”
“You were a mistake to him, and hence you were hidden and thrown out.” She
said, and I shook my head, looking away from her. “They would have killed you.
and he would have lost his position as elder. Hence why the mistake had to go.”
“What?” I asked, frowning in confusion. “Elders did not have children, what are
you talking about?”
“I think that you know very well which elder I am referring to.” She said, her eyes.
meeting mine. “The Lord Alpha has always looked differently at you to the point.
where I think that even your mate was surprised. You were just far too foolish...”

Mom went to open her mouth before the door was knocked, taking us off guard
as I looked at it, knowing that it was Dimitri. The two of us were inside the
dressing room, and I forced myself to put on the best smile that I could muster as
I opened the door for him. If he came up, then I knew that we have stayed for a
long while.

“Well, if you are done, how about we go down?” He asked, looking at mom,
clearly understanding that something happened. “You know, our guests are
waiting to see my Luna...?”
