Chapter 80
Aurora:
“Something is bothering you.” Natalia stated, looking me in the eye. I took a deep
breath and looked down at the drinks that were supposed to serve to the elders,
and the fact that I was going to have to be serving the Lord Alpha too wasn't.
something that sI*pped my mind either.
“I am fine.” I said choosing to keep things to myself for now. The fact that I didn’t
even know how I was going to be speaking to my mate about this bothered me.
And it didn’t take a genius to know that this was why mom told me about this right
now.
She knew very well what she was doing, and that alone made the whole situation
a lot worse for me. To say the least, I would have hoped, just for a minute, that
she wouldn't ruin such a night for me, but here I was, wrong again with what I
believed.
“You can lie to me all you want, but you know for fact that I am not going to fall for
it. And if I am letting it slide, it is because we have a lot to deal with right now, and
I know that you are already under the pressure of the elders being here.
However, I do believe that Dimitri would want an explanation as to why you look
like you just saw a ghost.” She said, putting on the best smile that she could
muster as she looked at the elders walking inside with Dimitri. His eyes met mine
and I could see their questioning in them before he turned to look at the elders.
“You need to smile, Aurora. You are going to attract more attention, negative
attention, to yourself if you don't.”
The Lord Alpha kept his eyes on me, studying my expression, or at least, trying
to read it. But I looked away from him as I turned to Natalia, pretending to be
busy with a conversation that I was having with her. Thankfully, she played along
the same game as Dimitri approached us.
Dimitri's eyes met mine and he shook his head at me, watching as I served the
elders their drinks alongside Natalia. One maid approached us, and I smiled,
handing her the tray before my mate wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling
me away from the crowd as everyone busied themselves.
Natalia walked toward Ivan, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw her pecking
his I"ps. At least it was a distraction from everything that I was thinking.
“Aurora, what is going on, malyshka? And don’t tell me nothing, I know for fact
that something happened between you and your mom. You wouldn't be in this.
state if nothing did.” He said, his voice softening as he spoke. I knew that the
music masked our voices, but I also didn’t know how I was going to tell him that
the bastard “Omega’ who was in front of him was an elder’s daughter. At this
point, I didn’t even know whether or not the Lord Alpha actually knew who I was,
and if he did, would he be accepting me? Would he look at me any differently? Or
would he kill me the second he realizes that I was the mistake that they threw
out?
And if he knew who I was, why would he throw me out the way that he did?
The number of questions that played in my head were countless, but I couldn't
even voice out one of them. And that fact was all the more painful to me as I
knew that I could possibly never get an answer to any of them.
He looked at mom for a second, clearly noticing her eyes on us, and I couldn't
help but find myself feeling small because of it. “Did she tell you anything that
hurt or broke you, malyshka? Please tell me for me to be able to help you with it.”
“Dimitri...
well hiding it is not going to help
“Aurora, whatever it is, just talk to me about it. us with solving it, and you know
that very well.” He said, stopping me. My chest. burned, and I didn’t even know
how I was going to tell him about it. The idea of everything being as messed up
was one that I couldn’t handle dealing with, I didn’t even know how he was going
to react as my mate. The man barely accepted me, the idea of him rejecting me
again, resenting my presence or looking at me differently wasn't something that I
wanted to deal with.
“What if it is too much to handle? What if knowing or hearing of this is going to
change a lot, between us, in our lives, and those that surround us?” I asked,
shaking my head. Dimitri studied my expression for a second before he took my
hands in his, bringing them to his I*ps as he k*ssed my knuckles. My chest
burned, and he kept his eyes on mine for a second before pulling me to his chest
as he pulled me in for a hug.
“Whatever it is, Aurora, you can trust that I am going to be there by your side. We
will be solving it together, I just need us to pass the night safely and with no
trouble; then the two of us can deal with everything together. And whatever it is
that your mom told you, and I know that she is the one who did, we will know how
to handle it together. I just need you to trust me, okay?” He asked, looking me in
the eye. My eyes caught sight of the elders as they approached us, and Dimitri
cupped my cheeks, making me hold eye contact before he k*ssed my forehead.
“And if you are afraid that I am going to be leaving you, then trust me, with my
life, I swear to you that I won't. And it is has nothing to do with the mating or
promise, but I came to learn that finding a pure hearted person in my life was
something that I never had.”
“And that is not something that I want to lose.” He whispered, and I blushed
before k*ssing his cheek. I rarely ever had the courage to lean in and k*ss him,
and him freezing told me that he was surprised that I did it. Even I was, but I
knew that it happened spontaneously
“How was I this blessed to find a man like you in my life?” I asked, and he smiled.
My heart skipped a beat when he ran his finger over my hand, and I couldn't help
the blush that formed on my cheeks as he did. But I had to admit, after
everything that we've been through, the last thing that I would have ever
expected was for me to find peace in the arms of the one man that I thought
would never accept me.
“Believe it or not, malyshka, it is me who was blessed with an angel like you.” He
said, and I smiled, biting my bottom I"p as I tried to stop my smile from growing
more than it already was. The man didn’t know what effect he was having on me
right now, but I doubt that he would care anyway. I believed that he enjoyed it. “I
know for fact that I don't deserve it, nor do I deserve the kindness that you've
shown me. But I know for fact that I am going to be making up for everything that
you've lived through with me.”
I stayed quiet, studying the man’s expression as I tried understanding whether or
not he was being serious right now. And though I shouldn't have been as
paranoid, I should have accepted things and how we have become; I knew that I
couldn't easily just do that with the way that the two of us started. I mean, the
man wouldn't even look at me a month ago and now he was calling me an angel,
and I couldn’t help but find myself wondering whether or not he was being honest
or if he was just getting a moment's excitement until he was bored.
“Now, how about we go and tend to our guests? I am sure that most of them
would be wondering where my beautiful Luna was, and judging by the elders who
were looking our way, I know that even they are curious. Plus, we still have to
bring in our little angel,” he said, and I smiled and nodded. The man had his way
with words, and I knew that he was doing it to ensure that he boosted me up.
when he saw me weakening a bit. And I was more than thankful for it. At least,
the man made me feel like I wasn't alone. He made me feel like he was by my
side. through it all.

asked, and he chuckled before

know that it was time, that I nodded.
It was time for us to bring in

We wanted the night to keep going as

But I knew better not to ask right now. Whatever it was, I knew that it was going
to show eventually. However, I also knew that if he chose to hide things, then a
reason must have been there, whatever it was, I knew that it was going to rot out
soon.
