Chapter 100
Dimitri:
I looked at the empty bed for a second before walking out of the room, not wanting to stay here as not to get lost in the number of thoughts that I had in my head.
“Dimitri?” Ivan asked, frowning in confusion as he probably read my anger in my
eyes.
“I am going out.” I said, and he shook his head before rushing behind me.
“Dimitri, what the hell…?”
“Hell it is going to be,” I said, stopping him. “I am going to show that…”
“Dimitri, stop it.” Ivan said, stopping me. “You are losing yourself to your anger and that is neither going to do nor your woman a good thing right now.
“I am trying to do everything that I can to please her, to explain to her, but not a thing seems to work. The woman just seems to be drawn to an idea that I aimed to cheat on her. Had I wanted to do so, neither Charlotte nor she would have known about it. But no, how would they have thought that I could do that without neither one of them finding out? Neither one of the women thought or believed that IF I wanted to do something, neither one of them was going to find out. Charlotte herself is going to be paying for this right now, because if she doesn’t, she is going to be crossing more limits. That is not something that I am going to keep standing.”
“She is going to get what she wants with what you are doing. And you seem to be failing to understand that.” Ivan said, glaring at me. “While I understand your anger, you need to understand that you are going to give her exactly what she wants. And that is the ruining of peace that YOU are trying to build in your home. She managed to do it to Aurora, somehow, she managed to get inside the pack, and I don’t even know how that happened when no one even saw her. I tried checking the cameras and zero, it is like the footage has been deleted completely or the cameras of the whole Estate were off while she was here.”
“What about the cameras in the street?” I asked, frowning in confusion. Ivan shook his head, and I took a deep breath, knowing that her father must have had. a hand in this. The fact that he was playing a dangerous game like this one was one that I didn’t want to be dealing with.
“None worked, we checked. Everything has a loop. Plus, Charlotte knows the secret gates in the pack grounds. She knows this Estate inside and out. She would know how to get in and out without being seen, the issue lies with the fact that we need to ensure that this doesn’t end up happening again.” Ivan said, and I nodded. Right now, it was more than just Charlotte approaching Aurora, but it was the fact that we needed to make sure that she didn’t reach Angelina. If the woman hurts. her, then it is hell breaking loose in different angles that neither one of us was
going to want to deal with.
“The you need to make sure that the gates are sealed. I don’t care what needs to be done. We have to make sure that not only the pack is secure, but that our members are not harmed. We have kids and if she started with approaching Aurora, this can be a warning to something bigger than just her speaking.” I said, and Ivan nodded. I didn’t know what she was going to have in mind next, but I knew one thing, we were going to chop off the snake’s head before it was able to reach its target.
***
I looked at Aurora who was sleeping on the rocking chair beside Angelina’s bed.
My stomach churned, and the fact that the maids were here watching her was not something that I liked.
I walked toward her, my steps careful and slow before lifting my woman in my arms. She stirred in her sleep, but I didn’t bother to stop as one of the maids opened the door for me. I nodded in thanks and walked toward the edge of the bed, laying her there.
Aurora sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. They were bloodshot red, and I knew that it was due to both fatigue and being upset. If she didn’t want to share. my bed, that was going to be okay, but I wasn’t going to have her sleeping on a chair while I slept here and I knew that she had her duties to take care of within. the pack and with our daughter. I didn’t want her collapsing under the pressure of all of that with minimum sleep.
“I told you that I didn’t intend to sleep with you…”
“I am going to sleep in the guest room,” I said, stopping her. She frowned in confusion, and I took a step back as I walked toward the closet to change my suit. Ivan and I went to one of the hotels to ch*ck on a few things, and though I did debate on whether or not I should stay there, I knew better than to leave the house in the mess that it was in. And because of that, I chose to decide against it. “It is your room, Dimitri.”
“A man never kicks his woman out of his bed.” I said, and she frowned. “Whether or not you like it, the two of us are man and woman. Our daughter proves it, our legality does too. While I do understand your anger, I know that it is bound to die down. And when it does, I do not want to be the man that is known to have kicked. his woman out of his bed when they started being in a real relationship that was somewhat far from whatever duties they had to do.”
“Wasn’t our mating a duty to the two of us?” She asked, and I nodded.
“Indeed, it WAS. Note the past tense, but if you do not wish to accept that, I cannot force you to. Anyhow, I am going to go and take a shower before leaving. If there is…”
“I am not going to watch you leave the room while I sleep on your bed.” She said, stopping me.
“Then I take the floor,” I said, and she stood up.
“You really don’t get it, do you?” She asked, shaking her head at me.
“Don’t get what?”
“The fact that I want nothing to do with you.” She said, and I smiled. I took a step. closer to her and leaned in, my b*dy towering over hers as I allowed my breath to hit her n*eck.
“I do,” I whispered, “But that only makes me want to prove to you what I am willing to do to get to you. I’ll go and shower, get some sleep. Don’t worry, I won’t be getting in bed considering that you don’t want me to.”
She opened her mouth to respond and I k*ssed her cheek, pecking it gently before. pulling away to go the bathroom. Her heart raced, and I couldn’t help but smirk when I heard her say.
“What the f**king hell just happened?”
