Chapter 74
Being who | was, | knew that | was forced to deal with more hell than others should have dealt with in my age. And to see a little
innocence in my life was something that | was thankful for. The one thing that | didn’t realize was that the innocence that | had
was standing right in front of me. She was the woman that was chosen for me to marry, and | knew for fact that | wouldn’t have
expected it if they paid me. Had it been up to me, | knew for fact that | wouldn’t have chosen her to be in my life, but now that she
was, | was more than a little thankful that she was.
“Thank you for this, Dimitri.” She said, running her finger over our daughter’s hand for a second. | looked down at our sleeping
little angel, and | knew that it was only a matter of time before she was going to need to be fed.
“Well, it wasn’t apliment.” | said, winking at her before getting up from the edge of the bed. And resting my hands
either side of her b*dy. | leaned in and k*ssed her forehead before taking my little daughter’s hand and k’ssing it gently. “I will
leave you to rest while | go and tend to things in the pack. But I''ll be back by tonight, yeah...?”

Chapter 74
Aurora:
| couldn''t help the smile that formed on my I*ps as | looked at Dimitri holding our daughter. He rocked her gently, keeping his
eyes on her as she fell asleep. And | couldn''t help but find myself admiring him for what he was doing. It was something that |
found myself growing used to over the past month and a half.
The idea of the two of us being close to one another or having anything close to a rtionship was something that | would have
never imagined. And considering the fact that | knew how we started, | knew better than to expect much; therefore, for me to be
living this, to be seeing this soft side of him, | was more than a little happy.
He rocked her gently as she dozed off, and | had to admit, | couldn’t help but find myself wondering how things would have been
if we started out as mates or lovers. | couldn’t deny the fact that | found myself somewhat jealous and salty of the woman who
had not only all his attention, but had also deprived me of moments that should have been the most beautiful throughout the
pregnancy. | often saw how pack members acted around their mates when they found out about them being pregnant, and a first
child was always the most special.
“You are staring.” He stated, his back to me as he spoke before he turned around to face me. My checks reddened at the fact of
being caught, and | couldn’t help but bite my bottom I*p as a small smile yed on my I*ps. It was one that | couldn’t control, and
| knew that Dimitri was well aware of that.
m merely watching my husband hold my daughter. You can’t me me for admiring such a beautiful sight when | know that
these are moments that would never be reced or repeated, can you?”
After giving birth, the room that he had me staying in initially was redesigned into a nursery, and to my surprise, the Alpha has
requested that | stayed in his room instead of alone. | had to admit, | still find myself wondering whether or not | was dreaming of
this on a daily basis.
“You have every right to admire, neonata. | never did expect myself to like being with a child, and yet, here | was, holding my girl
in my arms.” He said, and |ughed, nodding in agreement..
This was something that | wouldn’t have dreamed of, hell, | wouldn’t have been able to imagine a proper conversation without
fearing a bacsh that | wouldn’t be able to handle. And | knew that it was a mutual feeling.
Charlotte, the woman who was the main reason behind our conflict, and the woman that has deemed me an enemy even before
| understood why, was now no longer in our lives. Though where she had disappeared to was one answer that | didn’t have. But |
knew better than to bring her name to the Alpha.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“The two of us are expecting the Lord Alpha and the Elders today. You do know that, right?” | asked, choosing to change the
subject. | had to admit, | didn’t want him to end up thinking any less of me, and thest thing that | wanted was to talk about a
topic too much for him to end up resenting me.
“| know, we just need to get Angelina ready. You know, they are going to be judging everything that we do, and thest thing that
we need is for anyone to think that we are neglecting our daughter or that we are not taking good care of the two pack’s future
heir. Dimitri said, looking me in the eye and | nodded, knowing that he was right. | knew that we were going to have all eyes on
us, and thest thing that we were going to need was to look bad in front of anyone, especially not when we needed to show
ourselves, our heir, and our rtionship being in its best state
“You know that getting Angelina ready is the easiest part, Dimitri. At this point, | don’t even know what Elder Jordan would do
when she sees me. You know what happened thest time and | don’t know how we are going to handle another one of her rants
if they happen.” | said, and Dimitri smiled, shaking his head at me.
“Don''t worry about Elder Jordan. She is going to end up understanding that the two of us are together. Our heir proves it, and
you know for fact that when she sees us, she would understand how close we have gotten. We just need to ensure that things
don’t end up backfiring in a way that we won''t be able to handle, and | am not referring to only Jordan.” He said, reminding me of
the fact that he knew that | wouldn''t be able to show them that | was sick. It was something that we were hiding, and | knew very
well to keep it quiet as not to worry my parents. “I just need you to focus on the concierges and | will focus on the rest, okay?”
“Don’t worry about the preparations tonight. You just tend to what you have to deal with and | am going to deal with the
things that | need to do, | am sure that we are going to be okay with everything afterward. Plus, | got enough rest to be able to
stand, and you wouldn’t need to worry about the family finding out about anything.” | said, and he smiled. The way he looked at
me was one way that gave me somewhat, a little morefort, and | couldn’t help but find myself releasing a breath that | didn’t
know that | was holding.
He looked at our little one for a second before walking to her bass andying her inside it. | knew to take her to the crib ina
bit and though | knew that | would need to get her ready, | knew that the more rest she got, the better the oue was going to
be. Plus, there was the fact that | knew that she would be the center of attention and | didn’t want her to be tired when it
happened. At least an hour with her being awake as my parents probably carried her and Dimitris, then | would be taking her
back up to the bedroom to stay away from the spotlight. In my opinion, the less noise for her, the better it was going to be.
“Let''s just hope that tonight goes well and has no idents.” | said, and he smiled in assurance. He took both my hands in his,
and | couldn’t help but blush when he k*ssed my knuckles gently. His eyes were fixed on mine for a few seconds, and | couldn''t
help but feel like my stomach churn.
My heart skipped a beat and he pulled away, keeping his eyes on mine. | turned to look at the mirror, knowing that | wouldn’t be
able to look the man in the eye without blushing, and taking the message, Dimitri smirked before he walked toward me. He
wrapped his arms around my waist, taking me by surprise as he pulled me to his chest, and | couldn’t help but find myself
sucking a sharp breath for a moment before he k*ssed my check from the back.
.The fact that the two of us have yet to be intimate was one that didn’t sI*p my mind, but it was small moments like this one that
gave me hope that we might one day be able to. | mean, like we used to, only this time, it wouldn’t even or odd days, it would just
be the two of us being together.
“| will go and take care of things from my side and will leave you to do your part.” He whispered, resting his chin on my shoulder.
“Don’t exhaust yourself too much and if you need anything, just give me a call, okay, malyshka?”
