The story of Alpha

Chapter 112

Aurora:

“Aurora, wait…” Dimitri said, wrapping his hand around my forearm, stopping me from moving.

I let out a warning growl as I pulled my hand away, not wanting him to touch me. His eyes widened in surprise and he was quick to let my hand go, knowing that I was triggered enough to actually growl at him was something that he didn’t expect, but he chose to play with fire, and that wasn’t the best game that he chose to play with. And I knew very well that he saw and understood that.

“Go to f**king hell with her…”

“Aurora, just wait and listen, you don’t understand…”

“Don’t understand what? Huh? That you are going to go back to the woman that made our lives a living hell? That you are going to go back to the f**king ex that made me…”

“I don’t want to go back to her, but I need to make a f**king deal. Otherwise, our pack and our peace are going to be at risk, and believe me, Aurora, if I have another option, I would. have taken it.” Dimitri said, stopping me. My ch*st rose and fell with each breath that I took, trying to remind myself to calm down as I knew that my anger was not going to get me anywhere. Dimitri kept his eyes on me for a few seconds, studying my expression before I sat on the edge of the bed, at loss of words. This was the last thing that I expected to hear right now, and I knew that he saw and understood that with all his heart. But he had no words to tell me, and I knew that he was just debating on what was going to happen from here.

“Aurora, I didn’t want to do this, but we are dealing with a lot more…

“Why?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “Why must everything go back to her the second that the two of us are able to calm down enough to make our relationship real?”

“It doesn’t have to, Aurora.” He said, shaking his head at me. He got on his knees in front of me, and I looked at the man for a second, recalling the fist time that I saw them together on our mating night. The man was yet to mark me and that was something that didn’t sl*p my

mind, and with that fact in my hands, I knew that him seeing her was one thing that I didn’t want to deal with.

“Ademide, her step mother, is going to fight to arrange her to man that is an enemy.” He said, looking me dead in the eye. “Luka, son of Sergio of the pack dark moon, is now taking place as Alpha. He the son of a consort, and regardless of him being an Alpha born, the only heir alive that we know of, for now; his mother sees it as right to have him marrying a woman that would legitimize his claim as Alpha.”

“And that woman is Charlotte?” I asked, and he nodded.

“She is an Alpha born, and her father is doing everything that he can to make himself stronger. You know how bad the man is, and you know that they are going to do everything. that thy can to break the order that we have set. Charlotte can even move by revenge, and that is not something that we neither need nor want.” He said, this time more gentle as he spoke. “I know that you don’t want her around, and I know your reasons. But I have to have her under my protection to ensure that WE are safe. Believe me, she will stop at nothing to destroy us if she is forced into this mating, and her father is going to keep digging a hole that is too deep for us to get out of. Her step mother is human, and she is a b*tch who is hungry for power. She was a consort, just as Alaria was, and though she as two sons, Charlotte has the stronger claim as an Alpha.”

“And she wants to get rid of her?” I asked, frowning in confusion.

“The one way to do so without killing her is to send her off as a bride. While her sons would still need an Alpha born, legitimate daughter to mate with for their claim, she knows that with Charlotte out of the way, half the problem is solved.” He said, explaining the situation to me. “I know that it hurts, and I know that it is not something that you want to do. But please, Aurora, I need you to understand the importance of this.”

“The importance of this is not something that I can ignore, Dimitri. But you need to understand that the woman has ruined not only our mating, but she looked me dead in the

eye

while she knew that I was going to be with you while she was your woman. I understand her hate toward me, maybe she sees me as a thief of her mate and lover, but I didn’t know. of the two of you. And even when I did find out, I stepped back…”

“I know.” He said, stopping me. “You fell a victim of a game that I played for power, but I did not intend for things to go the way that they are now. And I know that you might not understand, or maybe if you do, you might not trust me, but believe that I am going to be very honest here. Both you and Charlotte were truly friends. It wasn’t till the elders chose to

set the two of us up that she started despising you, or more specifically, being jealous of you.”

“It doesn’t matter, nor would it change the fact that she lied.” I said, shaking my head. The idea of him defending her was something that I saw as absurd, and though I knew that he was doing it for my sake. He wanted me to regain confidence in those who were around me, it pained me to see him trying to make a deal about this with me right now. “Anyhow, I am going to keep an open mind to this. I am going to ignore my pain. But I have to ask, Dimitri, do you still love her? Is that why you are doing what you are?”

“Aurora…”

“Dimitri, please…”

“Aurora, I don’t want to lie to you, but I do not want to give you an answer that is going to break your heart.” He said, stopping me. My breath got caught in my throat and it took everything in me not to choke on it. His eyes were fixed on mine, and I could tell that he saw my pain in them. “I am doing this for our family. As for my feelings for Charlotte; the

But…”

“No buts…”

“Yes, but…” he said, putting a hand on my knee, stopping me from getting up from the bed, knowing that I was breaking inside from his words. His eyes were fixed on mine and I could. tell that a thousand messages were sent through them, and not only one, but the man didn’t understand that all of them were now jumbled up on me. “My feelings for you are what are: guiding me.”

I frowned, processing his words, and he cleared his throat. “I have one woman in my life, and that woman is always going to be you. And if had to go back in time to choose, I would have chosen you any day.”

“But right now, for our safety, for our home, and pack; we are both going to put our feelings aside.” He said, watching as I took a deep breath as I tried allowing myself to process and accept what he was telling me. His eyes were fixed on mine, and I could tell that he was trying to read my expression. “As painful as it is, she is going to be put under my protection, at least, until I have managed to get rid of Luka and Alaria. Only when we are safe…”

“Doing that will only send us more enemies.” I said, stopping the man. He shook his head in question, and I took a deep breath as I knew that my own voice sounded foreign to me. “Getting rid of them would have her step mother searching for someone else. You need to be smarter about this.”

“And that means?” I asked, shaking my head in question.

“I can’t believe that I am about to say this.” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Put Charlotte under your protection, but drag Luka to your side. Give his mother an offer of an alliance that she can’t reject. And only then would you be a few steps ahead. The rest can come later, but we are going to have to work faster and more efficiently.”

“We?” He asked, smirking at me.

“Yes, unfortunately, I just said WE.” I said, putting a hand on his as it rested on my knee. “As much as I hate this, the two of us are going to have to work together. And for that to happen, I am going to need to be willing to look at the woman. But I make no promises about slapping her if she crosses her limits.”

“Well then, I think that we managed to come to an agreement.” He said, raising an eyebrow.

“As an Alpha and his Luna should…”
