    Chapter 77


    Dimitri:


    “Wee over,” | smiled, greeting my mother as she entered the house. Her and dad both entered the house, and though |


    knew that | was supposed to be greeting my father first as he was the Alpha, | also knew that she was not the type to follow. such


    rules. It was against her to do so anyway, and | often believed that it was the reason why my father initially fell for her. The fire in


    her eyes was one that | knew attracted him more than anything.


    Mom smiled, hugging me tightly, and | couldn’t help but find myself but smile as | knew that she was going to be happy to see


    her grandchild. It was something that | knew she was excited about. And | couldn''t help but find myself growing curious about


    how she would be reacting when she saw Angelina.


    It was only a matter of time before our other guests arrived too, and | knew that the faster they met her, the better the oue


    was going to be. At least, she was going to be able to have a little time to see and hold her if she wanted to.


    Aurora, who stood beside me, didn’t say a word as she looked at me for a second. | knew that mom and dad would be more than


    a little proud of her. At least they knew that the family heir was going to being from our bloodline and that their bloodline was


    not going to go extinct like other families did. And though | knew that even | didn’t expect things to happen this way, | was d


    that they did.


    “You know, Dimitri, thest thing that | expected was to find myself treated as a guest in my own son’s home.” She said, looking


    at Aurora. It was something that | knew she hated. Her leaving the house when | had the elders‘ arrangement was something


    that she didn’t like. In her mind, she would have wanted to be within the pack’s grounds, but | knew that it wasn’t going to be


    ending well if that happened. And thest thing that | needed was for anyone to see me with Charlotte, even if they knew of it


    and were to stay quiet about it.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    | cupped my mom’s cheeks and k*ssed her forehead, letting my I*ps linger there for a few seconds. It was true, | didn’t like the


    idea of her living in the pack as | knew that it would havee with consequences, but that didn’t mean that | wanted her to act


    like a stranger.


    “You know that this is going to be your home, forever and always, mama.” | said, my voice softening. She smiled and wrapped


    her arms around me, hugging met tightly before | pulled away to look at my father. He stood two steps back, looking at both mom


    and I, and Aurora smiled when mom approached. Normally, | knew that it was dad who was supposed to be greeted first, but


    mom was not going to change her ways now.


    He smiled, extending his hand to me, and shaking his hand, he pulled me in for a hug. | knew that he was more than happy


    being a grandfather. It was every Alpha’s pride and glory to know that he was to have his offspring having his own. And | knew


    that if we were ever to have a boy to carry ourst name; my father


    was going to be flying of happiness.


    Our daughter was to be his spoiled princess, but in every family, and especially in- packs like ours, and being a Capo; | knew


    what it was to have a son by my side. And it wasn’t only for now. This was going to be something that was going to besting for


    years toe.


    You two


    have made us proud.” Dad said, looking at Aurora who mom smiled at. She had her hand on Aurora''s arm as she looked at her a


    if she was the one person that she could ever see. Aurora’s cheeks reddened, and knowing her, | knew that this was not


    something that she expected from my family.


    If anything, | knew that she expected resentment, and | couldn’t me her. She didn’t know how they were, but what she saw of


    me was not all pleasant.


    “| have to admit, | have not been this happy since Dimitri came into this world. They always did say that the one thing more


    valuable than one’s son, is their own grandchild. And though | am yet to meet her, | am more than happy to know that she is


    born, and | know that I am going to be able to trust that both you and Dimitri are going to be the parents that she deserves, if not


    even more.” Mom said, and Aurora smiled.


    Mom hugged my woman tightly, and | couldn’t help but find myself regretting how | treated her until now. It was times like this,


    especially when | saw her growing heavier, when | saw her being tired and yet, notining, and when she woke up that


    night, that | couldn’t help but regret every moment that | was harsh on her. She was an angel sent to me, and yet, | was more


    than a little determined to break her heart. And that was something that | didn’t like about myself.


    The doorbell rang, and both Aurora and | looked at the door, knowing that it was her parents. The fact that they didn’t bother


    coming to see Aurora earlier did not sI*p my mind. | knew that we had told them earlier than others. Mom and dad were the


    second people to know, but | wanted Aurora to inform her parents in case they wanted toe. To my surprise, her mother


    requested that her knowing did not spread around as she wasn’t around toe by and help. “Mom, dad, wee over.” Aurora


    said, smiling at them. She looked her mother in the eye, and the silent message that the woman sent told me that she was.


    warning her daughter not to voice out anything that happened. She wouldn''t want her figure to be scratched, it was something


    that | understood, but it hurt me. more to know that Aurora couldn’t do anything about it.


    “Why didn’t you call us earlier, little one?” She asked, looking at her daughter. | had to admit, | tensed at the woman’s question,


    knowing that she was only asking because she was in front of my parents. | didn’t know how things were between Aurora and


    her mother before, but if this was how she was being treated now, then | didn’t understand how | didn’t see her weakness before.


    “You had your first baby, you must have needed someone to help you. You know, at least teach you how to handle things.”


    “You know that | have handled the pack’s children before, mom.” Aurora said, looking at her mom, watching as her face dropped


    before she looked at me. “Plus, | had Dimitri by my side. Neither he nor Natalia left me for a second. Dimitri even chose to ignore


    the rules and was by my side throughout mybor, and | know that it is something that this all the more special.”


    The woman looked at me for a second, studying my expression, and | wrapped my arm around my mate, pulling her to my chest


    as she looked at her mother. Both their eyes were fixed on one another for a second, and | couldn’t help but find myself feel the


    tension that rose in the air around us.


    “You know that my daughter didn’t want to concern us, but you could have called us, Alpha Dimitri. We would have helped her


    out, and you know, with everything that you have to deal with, being busy with my daughter must have taken a huge tow out of


    your time. | have to apologize for that.” Her mother said, taking the two of us off guard. Aurora tensed, and | tightened my arm


    around my woman, not wanting her to say something that will backfire on her.


    The woman''s eyes studied her daughter’s expression, clearly challenging her to say something different. But | knew not to let her


    do so. It was something that was going to get her in trouble, more trouble than she could afford. And | didn’t want her to undergo


    something like that. Plus, there was also the fact that we had our guestsing over soon, and thest thing that we needed


    was for drama to be urring tonight.


    “You needn''t worry, our little one is safe and healthy. Aurora has the experience. that she needed, and believe it or not,


    regardless of the number of maids and doctors that she had; she was the one taking care of everything for our child.” | said, and


    Aurora’s eyes widened before she smiled. | leaned in and k*ssed her forehead, knowing that she needed some kind of


    assurance that she wasn’t going to be alone in this.


    To say the least, | could tell by her parents’ expression that this was thest thing that they would have expected me to say. And |


    knew why.


    Aurora’s mother knew of what happened on the night that | was with Charlotte. She knew very well that Aurora saw us, but she


    didn’t care. She didn’t try to stop anything, and she didn’t even bother approaching me to warn me against this.


    She left her daughter to deal with everything on her own. And | didn’t know whether or not her father knew of this, but if he did;


    then they just proved to me that these people never, not for a second, dared care about Aurora. For whatever benefit they got,


    they were only making use of it. And that was something that | saw as cruel, even for people like them.


    “How about we go and see Angelina? You know, since you are the first to arrive, | am guessing that it would be more peaceful for


    you to meet your granddaughter.” Aurora suggested, wanting to change the topic, sensing the shift of energy in the room. |


    looked at her for a second, and she shook her head at me, silently asking me not to dwell on the topic. It was one that she didn’t


    want me to talk about much, and | understood why; we wanted to pass the night with no problems.


    | wasn’t going to stop Charlotte froming only to start a problem with my mate’s parents, it was going to be wrong.


    “Yes, what do you think?” | asked, supporting Aurora’s idea. “How about we go and. meet our little angel before wee back


    down as the guests arrive? Yeah?”
