The story of Alpha

Chapter 69

Dimitri

I walked out of the room, taking a deep breath as I tried to stop my own anger from building.

Having seen the woman coming back from almost being dead, I couldn’t find myself arguing with her right now.

“1 can assume that it didn’t go as you planned for it to.” Ivan said, and I shook my head. I didn’t expect things to be all pink when she woke up, but I had to admit, the last thing that I expected was her reaction.

“On the contrary,” I said, and he raised an eyebrow. I smiled and nodded at Mariana to go inside the room, knowing that she would be the person in charge of taking care of our little one. I still didn’t even know what we were going to name her, but I knew that I wanted it to be special. “I wouldn’t have expected her to look at me any differently, but I am going to need to do a little more effort to manage winning her over this time.”

“Winning her over?” Ivan asked, smirking at me. I knew that it was going to be the only way to make things right. I first had to make sure to win her over before I could take things any further, and considering the fact that I knew that I almost lost her, I didn’t want my daughter to live through a moment where she didn’t have her mother by her side. And I was going to be very honest with myself on this one, I couldn’t help but find myself wondering how I was going to be able to manage leaving her with Charlotte if the two of us were to be together like I had initially planned.

“It is about time to accept her as a mate, and considering that we have removed all the obstacles from our way, I doubt that I have a reason not to get close to her. You know, I believe that the two of us can manage to find a way to make things work All we have to do is just try,” I said, and he shook his head at me. My heart ached, and I couldn’t help but find myself wondering whether or not I was doing something that was correct. But I knew one thing, after what I saw, I didn’t want to find myself going through that again. And it wasn’t only the fear of the elders. I really didn’t want to lose the woman.

“And what do you plan on doing, Alpha Dimitri?” Ivan asked, and I turned to find Natalia, who was just entering the corridor, walking toward us. Her eyes met mine and she shook her head in question before nodding at the door.

“She woke up, she is fine and is with the baby. I do suggest that you go and stay with her though. Mariana is inside with her, but I think that she could use someone as her friend as well.” I said, and Natalia scoffed, shaking her head at me as she did. I raised an eyebrow before she put her hand on my shoulder, tapping it twice.

“I am merely coming to visit, but what she needs is YOU by her side. As far as I know, the two of us are friends, but it is you who is not only the father of the baby, but the man who is supposed to be considered her husband‘ in your world of wolves.” She said, and I looked down at my feet for a second. The fact that the two of us were yet to actually be considered mates was something that only Ivan knew, and I didn’t even know how it was going to be between us now that the baby was born. “She is your mate, isn’t she?”

“She is,” I said, choosing not to bring the detail to her. I didn’t know whether or not Aurora would be telling her or anyone at that point, but I knew one thing, it was only going to be a matter of time before I have marked her as mine.

Natalia studied my expression for a second before nodding. And I watched as she turned to enter the room, leaving me in the hall with Ivan who shook his head at me. My ch*st ached, and I couldn’t help but find myself feeling like I was stuck between stone and a brick wall that I couldn’t get out of. My heart raced, and my ch*st felt far too tight for me to be able to breath properly but I knew one thing, I didn’t want things to get screwed up now.

-What

are you going to do?” Ivan asked, shaking his head at me. I looked at the room door for a second, recalling the helplessness that I felt as I looked at the sime door, watching as the nurses and doctors entered and left the room before walking out an hour later to tell me that she was in a critical state due to the tough pregnancy that she had and labor,

Aurora didn’t even know how happy I was when they told me that she was going to be okay the next morning after she was monitored throughout the whole night, and up until she opened her eyes, I couldn’t find myself getting any shut ones myself, fearing that something might end up happening to her when I knew that her baby was going to need her.

Hell, I knew that even I was going to need her.

The load of work that she was doing around the house was one that I wasn’t going to deny, and I knew that she wasn’t going to understand it if I tried to verbally explain it to her right now. I had to prove it to her, and that was only going to happen

with situations that I was going to be sure that we live through.

“I am going to win her over. How? I don’t know, but it is going to be the only way to make things work…
