    | watched as Ivan walked out of the infirmary room, and | couldn’t help but raise a questioning eyebrow, curious about what he


    was doing there in the first ce.


    It''s been days since the incident between Aurora and Charlotte, and though her wounds were mostly healing, the doctors


    believed that it would be best for her to be staying in the infirmary until they were sure that she was okay.


    “Anything wrong?” | asked, and he shook his head.


    “No, but | needed to be sure that nothing was wrong.” He said, and | chuckled, knowing that it was something typical of his


    attitude. He has been roaming around the room for days, and though | never did bother asking about the reason, he always


    walked out with a frown on his face.


    Today, though, | was aiming to go inside and speak to her myself. And that was something that | knew she would even be


    surprised about. But we were having the elders over soon, and thest thing that | needed was anyone suspecting anything


    about her being ill while carrying the baby.


    “You have been doing so a lot for the past few days.” | teased and he shrugged.


    “When you have a mate like her, you shouldn’t be expecting otherwise, should you?” He asked, and | chuckled. | knew that she


    wasn’t my mate and thest thing that | nned on caring about was being with her, but the baby was something that concerned


    me, and having my heir was a lot more important to me than whatever it was that she had in her mind.


    | walked inside the room to find Aurora standing in front of the window, looking outside, not bothering to face me.


    “The two of us are fine, Alpha Dimitri. You need not worry about me not eating, the baby not being well taken care of, or me


    being upset.” She said, not bothering to face me. | wrapped my hand around her arm, turning her to face me and she looked


    down at her feet, avoiding my gaze.


    “You know, things would be a lot easier if you choose to stop being a child.” | said, and she took a deep breath.


    “And | think that they would have been easier if Ldidn’t have to deal with this pregnancy to begin with. Maybe you and your lover


    wouldn''t be throwing this much hate on me, and | wouldn’t have to deal with a beta whoes in to threaten me whenever he


    sees me sitting in front on the windowsill, clearly worried that | would be harming myself or my child when | have to add that the


    room is on the first floor.” She said, and | shook my head, pinching my nose as | tried to mulle myughter. | didn’t even know


    why | wasughing at this point, but | knew that her words came qut as more amusing to me than | could consider to describe,


    and her annoyed expression was another thing that | found more amusing


    m going to be speaking to Ivan about pushing you out himself, maybe it would remind you to tone your attitude down...”


    “My apologies, but after dealing with the number of things that | have been forced to deal with since | entered this house, | don’t


    expect you to think that | would be sipping tea, which | cannot drink right now, while everyone goes around stepping on my


    back.” She said, and | took a deep breath, taking a step toward her as | red at her. Her eyes were fixed on mine for a second


    and | growled, making her frown. Her heart raced in response and my b*dy towered over hers as she looked up to look me in the


    eye.


    m going to excuse today and im that you are dealing with hormones and all the changes that you have been going through


    have been hectic on you. But one more word about any of my pack members, and | will be sure that you regret ever agreeing to


    be my mate.” | said, and she took a deep breath before her next words took me off guard.


    And though deep down, | knew not to me her for them, she was upset with everything that was going on, | didn’t expect her to


    admit it as loud.


    “| already regret ever thinking of you as a mate.” She said, looking down at her feet before taking a step back. She turned to —


    look out the window, and | watched her, studying her b*dynguage for a few seconds as she crossed her arms over her


    chest.


    “Why do you keep looking out the window like this?” | asked, shaking my head in question. | had to admit, | was curious


    about her reasoning, but that wasn’t the reason why | asked. | heard that she almost lost the baby two days ago, and though the


    doctors managed to stop the miscarriage, | knew that things could have ended in a way that | wouldn’t have liked, and ording


    to them, it was because she was in pain, and though she didn’t personally matter to me, knowing that my child was affected was


    something that | couldn’t ept


    “You always call me an orphan. You remind me of the fact that | was thrown out by my own parents and sent to a different pack


    to be raised by the Alpha and Luna.” She said, making the air get caught in my throat. “When | look up at the stars | wonder


    whether or not | would ever know the reason. | wonder whether or not they were alive, and | often ask myself if not, were they


    looking down at me”


    “What difference would it make if they were?” | asked, shaking my head in question. She sighed and turned to face me, her


    heartbeat calm as she spoke before she extended her hand to me. She hesitated for a second before taking my hand, taking me


    off guard as she did.


    | watched as she put it on her stomach, where our baby was growing, and | couldn’t help but find myself sucking in a sharp


    breath as she looked at me.


    “You know, | wake up on a daily basis, wondering what is worth the fight before | put my hand on my stomach, knowing that | was


    having my baby growing inside me. The thing is, | often find myself wondering how she was able to easily get rid of me when she


    felt me growing inside her.” She said, looking down at my hand. “Then | look at you, | study your expression when you are not


    looking at me, | look at Ivan, who | know wouldn''t give a da mn about me if not for you and wonder, how did he find it easy to say


    yes to doing so. | see how much you are fighting your anger for the sake of the child, and | wonder if they really were lovers, how


    were they able to do this as easily as they have.”


    “What makes you think that they were lovers?” | asked, pulling my hand away and she clenched her fists for a second before she


    looked down at herself.


    “No omegas would be taking the burden of having a child if not lovers.” She said before turning to the window again. If they are


    alive, they are out there, if not, they are up in the stars and when | look up at them, | at least try to feel one connection. Maybe |


    would be able to find something about them, and that something is not one that | want to miss.”


    My chest ached, and I walked toward her before putting both hands on her shoulders, squeezing them gently before slowly -


    wrapping my arms around her from behind, hugging her. She looked down at my arms for a second before sucking in a


    sharp breath..


    “If they are alive, | will be sure to find them for you, Aurora.” | whispered to her, letting my hot breath hit her ear. “For the sake of


    both you and our baby, | will be sure to do my best to find them for you. That is my promise to you.”
