Chapter 81


    Chapter 81


    Dimitri:


    “Do you want to tell me what happened?” | asked, entering the bedroom, following Aurora who just put Angelina to sleep.


    The guests left an hour ago, and now, the two of us finally had our moments of peace to stay together. It was something that |


    was thankful for, and considering that we were going to get some rest as well, Angelina had two maids tending to her in case she


    woke up at night.


    “Mom told me something to bother me tonight. | know that she did it to ruin the night for me, but | am thankful that you were there


    by my side. To say the least, you helped pass it for me.” | smiled at her words before walking toward her. | put my hands on her


    shoulders as her back was to me, gently massaging them before wrapping my arms around her.


    “Do you want to tell me what it was about?” | asked, making sure that my voice was gentle as | spoke. | knew that she was yet to


    trust mepletely, and | had to admit, | couldn’t me her for it. Had | been in her ce and situation, | knew that even looking


    at the person who hurt me as much as | hurt her was going to be hard. “You don’t need to be afraid. | promised you that | was


    going to listen and support you no matter what it was, and | will stick to my word. Just tell me what happened for me to be able to


    help out, malyshka.”


    She didn’t speak for a few seconds, and | could tell that she was debating on whether or not to tell me, and even if she did


    decide to want to tell me; | knew that she was trying to find the right way to it. But | had to admit, | couldn’t help but find myself


    being upset that her mother chose an important night like this one to tell her something to hurt her.


    We passed Charlotte, and that was a plus in my eyes, but thest thing that | expected was for harm toe from family. But


    then again, | had to keep in mind that regardless of the way that they treated her, | knew that it was because. they were


    benefitting to some extent. The woman was not their daughter, and that. was something that will always have a small tow to it.


    She walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it before looking at me toe, and | smiled before walking to her side, sitting


    down as | looked at her. Her heart raced, and she clenched then unclenched her fist, taking deep and slow breaths as she did,


    clearly trying to calm herself down a bit.


    “She told me who my father was,” she said, making my eye widen in surprise. This was thest thing that | expected her to say,


    especially considering the fact that | could tell that it was something that must have caused her a fuss before to quiet down her


    curiosity about the topic. “I don’t know who my mother is, she didn’t tell me, but she chose to tonight of all nights toe and tell


    me that because | had a child and a ‘mate’ that | was ready to hear this. | wasn’t,”


    Her honesty was one that | didn’t expect at this moment, but | could tell that she had let her walls down as she spoke, choosing


    to trust that | wasn’t going to harm her with what | was hearing. And | was going to be honest, though | didn’t even know who the


    man was yet, and though | didn’t even expect what she just said, | wasn’t going to harm her with what she was going to tell me. If


    anything, | was going to be sure to protect her with everything that | could.


    “Do you want to tell me who it is? And why you are not happy with it?” | asked, shaking my head in question. Though | knew that


    she must have been in shock to hear of whoever the person was, | expected her to be at least happy to know where she came


    from. Unless the person was one who was an enemy to her or someone who would have harmed those that were around; then


    that was a different case.


    “| don’t know how to say it out loud, Dimitri.” She said, taking me off guard as she hesitated. Her heart raced against her chest,


    and for the first time since | met her, | saw her scared, genuinely scared, and it wasn’t because of us being mates, it was


    because of something that was bigger than that. The pain that | saw in her eyes was one that | didn’t like either, and | couldn''t


    help but frown in confusion as | tried to understand what was going on.


    | took both her hands in mine, squeezing them in assurance before slowly pulling her to my chest. She took a deep and slow


    breath, trying to calm herself down, but her next words were more painful than | could have described.


    “| don’t want to end up losing you when | barely just managed to fix things, if a little with you, Dimitri.” She said, not looking up at


    me. “I don’t want to end up breaking what we are trying to build when we barely just started with it, and it is even my fault. |


    swear that I didn’t know.


    | had to admit, | couldn’t help but frown as | tried understanding what she was saying. But | was sure to stay quiet as | feared that


    she would end up stopping whatever it was that she was going to tell me. The idea of that was not one that | wanted. Instead,


    whatever it was, | wanted her to voice it out for me to understand how | was to be able to help out. And | had to admit, | was


    curious about who that man was and why he would be choosing to throw a daughter away when she was baby who need her

    “| don’t want my daughter to live without her dad, and I know that it could possibly happen if you choose to resent or send me


    away. | know what it is to lose. a parent; | lived without mine throughout my entire life, learning and hearing that | was a bastard,


    and that is not something that | want for my child. | don’t want her thinking or believing for a second that she was.” She said,


    moving away from me.


    She looked me in the eye, and | frowned at the sight of her eyes being welled up with tears. Her pain was one that | read through


    her tone and the idea of whatever she was going to tell me being serious was not one that | could ignore. | had to admit, it was


    one that frightened me, and | knew that she was just as scared. “Aurora, malyshka, | told you that we were going to solve this


    together.” | aid, my


    voice softening as | cupped her cheeks to wipe her tears for her. “Whoever that man is, it is not your fault that he fucked whoever


    he did or that she ended.


    up pregnant. The two of us are going to solve things together, and | am neither leaving you or our daughter. We are going to


    have more kids and we are going to be enjoying our lives together. But | am going to need you to calm down, baby. We are going


    to have to talk about this to know how we are to handle the situation together.”


    “He is my father, Dimitri.” She said, making me frown in confusion. “He has been right in front of us the whole time. f**ks sake, he


    was watching us together, and | don’t even know whether or not he knew who | was, but judging by the way that mom spoke; I


    could tell that he might have known.”


    “Aurora, what the hell are you talking about?” | asked, shaking my head in question as | tried processing her words. The fact that


    the person was right in front of us was something that | didn’t understand. And if he knew who she was, why didn’t he just


    approach her? The idea of something being odd worried me, but | knew to wait and listen to what she had to tell me before


    jumping to any conclusion.


    “The Lord Alpha. The Lord Alpha is my father, Dimitri...”
