Chapter 98
Dimitri:
I walked out of the bathroom wearing a pair of pants, raising an eyebrow when I
saw Aurora fiddling with her dress’s zipper.
She didn’t look at me, but I knew that she was well aware that I was right behind
her.
“Do you need help?” I asked, slowly approaching her. She didn’t say a word for a
few seconds, but I watched as she dropped her hands in defeat.
“Please,” she said, and I nodded. I was sure to brush my finger over her back
gently, watching as goosebumps rose over her skin at the gentle contact.
“Done,” I said, and she turned to face me before raising a necklace. It was the
one. that I gave her when she gave birth to Angelina. “I am not going to take
something that I gave you.”
“I found it in my jewelry box, and I knew that it was you who put it there.” She
said, and I nodded. It was indeed me, but I didn’t want her to think that I was
going take back something that I gave her because we argued.
“Because I put it back. You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to...”
“Dimitri, please.” She said, stopping me. “I can’t accept it knowing that someone
else is in your heart.”
“I didn’t give it to you because I fell for you, Aurora.” I said, and she looked me in
the eye. “I did not lie to you about how I felt for you, nor did I fake any feelings
that I didn’t have. But what I am doing is for the two of us to try and build
something out of our wrecked start. I gave you the necklace because it is in our
tradition that we give our women a present when they give birth. Some used to
give daggers, others handmade jewelry. What we gave just depended on what
we wanted to see on or with our women. While I know that you are upset with me
and you are not to be blamed for it, I want you to know that I am not going to take
back something that represents you giving me a present, and that is our
daughter.”
“So, please, if you don’t want to wear it; put it back inside the box. But I am not
going to take it back, Aurora.” I said, taking a step back. I looked at the black
dress that she was wearing, and couldn't help but smirk when I saw that she had
a light shade of makeup on. I knew that she was going to be joining us for dinner
by just her outfit, and when she noticed that I was looking at her, she blushed
and looked down at her feet.
“I take it that you finally chose to listen to what I asked,” I said, and she shook her
head.
“I didn’t,” she said, making me raise an eyebrow. “But I am going to join you for
dinner. Might as well be seen with you as your mate, or am I wrong?”
“As long as we don’t end up turning the table or burning the house down; you are
not.” I said, and she smiled. “You look beautiful, by the way. I'll leave you to get
ready while I head down to the office.”
“Shirtless?” She asked, and I winked.
“Jealous that others might see me?” I asked, and she rolled her eyes.
“They can see you n*ked for all I care.” She said, and I playfully rolled my eyes.
“But I was simply searching for the cape of manners that you wanted me to drape
around my shoulders when you refused to have it on yours.”
“You needn’t worry, malyshka, I am more than open to showing them to you.
However, it can take a while, and as you may know, we have hungry pack
members who are going to be waiting for us to join them for dinner.” I said, and
her sarcastic smile faded before she turned to the closet. I smirked and walked to
my side to choose a shirt before turning to the door.
You can play hard all you want, malyshka. I'll know how to drop that wall of your
down...
“Hey,” Natalia said, smiling when she saw Aurora sitting beside her. Aurora
winked in response and Ivan shook his head in question. I shook my head as a
response, silently letting him know that things were not the way that I wanted
them to be, but I knew that I was going to find a way to make them better.
“We have a problem, by the way.” Ivan said, his voice above a whisper as he
walked toward me. I frowned in confusion and shook my head, not understanding
what more were we going to have to deal with than what we did until now. I knew
that a lot could occur, but I also hoped that we didn’t have to deal with more hell
than we would want to at this point.
“Tell me, does it include the letter “C*?” I asked, and he shook his head.
“More like the letter “S.” He said, and I frowned. “The elders,”
“What?” I asked, shaking my head in question. Ivan nodded at me to walk toward
the hall. And Aurora looked at me for a second, frowning in confusion along with
the other pack members who were sitting at the table. “You start, we will be back.
in a minute.”
The two of us walked toward the front door, knowing that we wouldn't be as
heard considering the clattering that was going around between the kitchen and
dining room. And I shook my head in question at my beta, waiting for what he
was going to tell me.
“What happened?”
“The elders were seen leaving the city, in particular, Elder Jordan and Lord Alpha
Sirius.” He said, and I frowned.

discretely, and rumors have it that they are searching for them.”
“Why the fuck would they be...?"
“I don’t know, but something tells me that we are going to be dealing with hell
fire.” He said, and I took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of my nose.

“Everything is fine, malyshka. Don’t worry,” he said, and Natalia smiled.
However, to my surprise, I looked at Aurora to find her eyes on mine as she
frowned. Her expression held a silent message that I didn’t understand, but I
knew one thing.
Whatever was going on, we really were in for hellfire...
