Chapter 108
Aurora:
“Do
you need help?” Dimitri asked, from behind me. He just walked out of the bathroom ast I was fixing my zipper, and though the two of us talked last night, I had to admit that I didn’t expect him to offer me any help.
I nodded and held the dress to my chest, not wanting it to fall, and I watched as he walked toward me. He was wearing his pants, but no shirt, and I had to admit, it took everything in me not to admire how good he looked at that moment. His eyes met mine through the mirror, and I couldn’t help but shudder as I felt his finger gently brush against my lower back until it reached the top. He slowly fixed the seal before gently pulling my hair from over my shoulders, allowing it to drape over my back.
“You look beautiful,” he said, and I blushed. He leaned in from behind and gently k*ssed my left cheek before pulling away without waiting for a response. “How is Angelina?”
“She’s okay. She just went to sleep after being fed. I’ll go and ch*ck on her one more time before the two of us head out.” I said, and he nodded, smiling at me. His smile was gentle, and I could tell that he seemed to be somewhat content, making my heart skip a beat at how peaceful he looked. He slowly put on a white suit shirt, and though I couldn’t help but find it odd that he would take ten minutes to get ready and yet would still always manage to look as dashing as he was, I knew to only admire in silence. “Thank you,”
“For?” He asked, turning from the closet to face me. I walked toward him and wrapped my fingers around his shirt, watching as he removed his hands from the buttons, silently allowing me to do them for him.
“Yesterday, the way you stood by my side…”
“Aurora, you’re my mate, malyshka.” He said, stopping me.
“I know, but…”
“But nothing.” He said, stopping me. His eyes were fixed on me as I worked on the buttons, and it wasn’t until I looked up at him that he connected his l*ps with my own in a surprise k*ss that made me blush. “You are mine to protect, cherish, and appreciate. I am going to

be standing by your side regardless of the circumstance.”

My heart skipped a beat at his choice of words, especially since I knew that he was being honest, well, at least I hoped that he was. Natalia’s words played in my head, and though I couldn’t help but find myself thinking that she was wrong. Yes, we did have a rocky edge, but he was trying to prove to me that we could go past it, in our own way and pace.

He pecked my l*ps one more time, this time his k*ss was a lot more gentle than the first one. He pulled away to rest his forehead against mine, and I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my l*ps as we took deep and slow breaths, trying to regain my thoughts as I knew that I was getting lost in a thousand at once. Elder Jordan had invited us for dinner today, and I couldn’t help but find myself being surprised, mostly because I knew that she didn’t like me being with Dimitri, and the fact that the Lord Alpha disappeared from the vision seemed odd for me to understand or accept. I also knew that mother was going to be there, and that alone was enough to make me feel somewhat anxious..
“How about you go and ch*ck on our little one while I put on my suit. There is still something that I want to go and ch*ck on in the office. So, how about it?” He asked, breaking my train of thoughts. I nodded and he smiled. He watched as I took a step back to go and sit on the couch to put on my heels. I was somewhat anxious about how I looked, and knowing that I was going to be judged for it was not something that made it any easier.
I walked out of the room, Dimitri’s eyes were fixed on me, and I knew that for fact. But I was sure not to flinch nor react as I walked toward my daughter’s room, smiling when her eyes met mine inside her bassinet where her maid was playing with her. She cooed, and I smiled, kneeling down to lift her in my arms.
“We won’t be too long,” I said, looking at her maid, who nodded. “My phone is with me if you need anything, and aside from the two of you, I don’t want anyone feeding or approaching her.”
“Yes, Luna.” She said, and I nodded, k*ssing my little one’s cheek. She giggled, and I smiled before putting her back inside her bassinet. My heart skipped a beat at her beauty, and I couldn’t help but find myself admiring her more than I already did. The fact that I gave birth to her just two months ago was something that I couldn’t even believe. She was growing up so fast, and I couldn’t help but find myself sinking with the love that I had for her on a daily basis.
I walked out of the room, and walking down the stairs, I fixed my dress and n*ecklace. I smiled in satisfaction, but that smile didn’t last for long as I looked up find Natalia in front

of me. Her eyes met mine, and I looked away from her, not wanting to speak to her after last night. Her words were far too harsh, and if she believed that it was okay for her to be speaking to me that way, then I was going to be setting the limits between the two of us.
“Aurora, can I speak to you?” Natalia called from behind me, forcing me to stop. I was about to turn around to face her only to be surprised with Dimitri walking out of his office. His eyes met mine, and he shook his head at me.
“No,” he said, looking her dead in the eye. “You are going to be speaking to ME”
I didn’t turn around to face the woman, but I could hear her sucking in a harsh breath, knowing that this was not something that she wanted to find herself dealing with right now.
“I have something to speak to about…”
