Chapter 66
Aurora:
“What you are doing is not going to benefit you, Aurora. The man is only going to resent you and you are going to end up broken.” Natalia said, looking at me. I shook my head at the woman and she raised an eyebrow at me. The fact that she believed that he ever gave a damn about me was all the more amusing to me, and the idea of him even thinking of accepting me was surreal to me.
“The man doesn’t even want me, Natalia, you and I both know that very well. I doubt that he would be giving a damn about me resenting him when he has done nothing more than resent, push, and break me in ways that no man should do to his mate.” I said, looking at the woman who took a deep breath. I knew that she technically had nothing to do with my anger right now, and I knew that I shouldn’t be blaming her for what I was feeling nor should I be taking my anger out on her, but what I didn’t like was the fact that she was calling me wrong when I did my best to try and be with him. It was him who wanted nothing to do with me. His words and actions were enough proof of that.
Though I do understand your anger and can’t blame you for it. You are going to end up hurting yourself more than you should over something that you are not going to change. Yes, I do understand that it is painful to know that the man that YOU are supposed to be with is resenting you, but have you stopped to consider why he would be doing?” She asked, shaking her head and I glared at her. She shook her head in question at me, clearly judging me with her eyes, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding her intense gaze as I knew that she wanted to try speaking sense to me.
“The baby is the one thing that is holding us together and you know that. Had it not been for the agreement and the fact that he is getting higher in ranks…”
“Do you really believe that he would care about you if he didn’t want to be cause of the baby, Aurora?” She said, stopping me. Her eyes met mine and I frowned in confusion at her choice of words and she took a deep breath. “Men are harder to understand when it comes to being affectionate, especially powerful men like Dimitri, but what you are doing, you are going to end up losing yourself, your position, and the man long before you have even gotten him to look at you any differently.”
“I do not need him to look at me any differently, and nor do I need his…”
“You are angry now, but imagine yourself being in this position when this child that you are carrying is an adult. I want you to imagine the anger or hate that you are going to fill this baby’s head as he or she grows, are you going to send the child as an enemy or would Dimitri do that to you?” She asked, stopping me. “I know what it is to have parents who not only resent each other, but hate one another to the point where they would rather see one another die than face the fact that they are the
parents of the same child, and believe me, it is not something that you want your baby to go through because it costs more lives than you are going to be able to afford.”
I frowned in confusion at her words, watching as she took a step back, turning to leave before a cry of pain escaped my l*ps before I could stop it. The woman froze for a second and I frowned at the sight of water pouring down my legs, making my eyes widen in surprise when I saw that there was blood along with it.
Natalia, who noticing my silence, turned around to face me only for her eyes to widen as she rushed to my side. She wrapped her arm around my waist, holding me close to her before cursing under her breath.
“Natalia…”
“CALL THE PACK DOCTORS!” I heard her yelling, knowing that the maids would be outside waiting to enter the room when she left. Mariana, who was the first to enter the room, gasped at the sight before her eyes, and Natalia glared at her. “I said a word, and someone call the Alpha. The Luna has hit labor early,”
Mariana rushed out of the room, and Natalia guided me toward the bed as two other maids, all new and assigned by Dimitri after Charlotte left. It seemed to me that the one person that he did accept was Mariana, and it was only because I requested for her to stay. I wanted her to be the one to take care of my child along my side, and considering the fact that he knew that I was still the pack’s Luna, he chose to grant me that wish
“Ms. Natalia, she bleeding..”
“Not a single word,” I heard Natalia say, looking at the maid. The pain that I felt in my abdomen was not one that I expected, and it wasn’t until the bedroom door slammed open, revealing both the Alpha and his beta, both their eyes wide in surprise
at the sight, that a cry out of pain escaped my l*ps before I could stop it.
“What happened?” Dimitri asked Natalia. She shook her head and he nodded at her to step aside before he wrapped his arms around me, lifting me in his arms. “You’re bleeding.”
“She hit labor early, and for some reason, blood poured when her water broke.” Natalia said, looking at Dimitri and he shook. his head as he laid me on bed. He looked down at ine for a second before turning to look at the woman.
“And that means?” He asked, looking at the door as it opened. The pack doctor and nurses rushed to my side, and I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes as the pain felt like it was tearing my insides apart.
“We have to pray that we don’t lose them during this process” She said, whispering to the Alpha. He tensed before he turned to face me, and I knew that it wasn’t something that I was meant to hear. “For what it is worth, I do think that you have to be by her side if she is going to be able to survive this, Dimitri..”
