Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 32

Dimitri:

My office door was knocked, and | looked up from the paper that | was reading through as | caught Aurora’s scent.

She didn’t bother entering as she waited by the door, and getting up from my chair, | walked toward the door, opening it for her. “You could have walked inside, | think that you know that | was already well aware that it was you.” | said, taking a step back as | watched her enter the office carrying a tray. The tray had two different types of juices and a plate that was covered with a silver lid

“| stayed back waiting for your permission to enter, Alpha. | know that there might have been something that you were busy with and | did not wish to disturb you, my apologies if | did.” She said, and | scoffed. She walked toward the coffee table that | had here and | watched as she set the tray before removing the lid, revealing sausages, beans, and eggs. The toast was grilled and there were small plates that had butter, jam, and honey in them. “I didn’t know what you would like to eat, but considering the time, | figured that something that would be suitable for brunch would have been a better option.”

| kept my eyes on the plate for a second too long, processing the fact that despite me being with Charlotte for years and despite everything that she had, she never did have the courtesy to do something like this for me. Hell, she barely even entered the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee, | shouldn’t have really expected her to be the one to cook for me.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“If there is anything else that you would like or would have preferred..”

“You can leave, Aurora.” | said, stopping her. Her eyes widened in surprise and she looked at me, shaking her head in question as she did.

“Did | say or do something that would offend you, Alpha?” She asked, and I raised an eyebrow at her, silently asking why she was still questioning what | asked her to do. She looked down at her feet before taking a step back. Her heart raced and she clenched and unclenched her fist as she clearly tried calming herself down before she left the office.

| walked toward the couch that was in front of the table before grabbing the utensils, noticing that despite this being something that was in my office rather than the dining table, she was sure that they were wrapped with a white napkin that was tied with a golden belt. This was something that the maids often set on their own when we had guests over. The concierges would either instruct them on what to do or they would know of the importance of the guests arriving, therefore, to see that she was doing this for me, in my office, and on a normal morning like this one, | couldn’t help but find myself growing somewhat amazed and a little surprised.

“What do you have planned under your sleeve, huh, Aurora?”

| walked out of my office, holding my empty tray before taking it to the kitchen. The headmistress, Akshana’s eyes widened in surprise as she processed the fact that | was carrying the empty tray, but | needed to know whether it was Aurora who cooked or the maids and the woman was simply lying to catch my attention.

“Alpha? We were going to come and bring it...”

“Did Aurora cook this?” | asked, stopping her. Her eyes widened in surprise before she quickly nodded.

“Was there something wrong with it? She did her best for it to suit your taste based on your preferences as | instructed her. She said, and | nodded in understanding.

“She is a good cook.” | said, noting out, “I grew curious on whether or not it was her who made the food or she was just faking it for the attention, but considering that you just confirmed it. It seems to me that | am going to have a lot to deal with concerning her.”

“Alpha, there was also a minor setback with Lady Charlotte.” | frowned in confusion and shook my head at Akshana, waiting for what she was going to say. She crossed her arms over her chest and | watched as she hesitated for a second. “She chose to threaten your Luna and the kitchen staff that she would be making them pay for what she was living through right now. She asked us to kick Luna Aurora out of the kitchen as it is not in our ways to have anyone cooking for the Alpha except the stall”

“It wasn’t in HER ways, but she knows very well that a Luna was ways to tend to her pack. Whether it was taking care of their food or even their children if orphaned.” | said, and Akshana nodded, knowing the rules well. She worked for my parents before me, and considering that she was there when | was growing older, | knew that | couldn’t trust anyone else with the job that she was doing. Her eyes met mine for a second and she sighed.

“She

e grew angry when | stopped her, and then she started with her threats. She said, explaining the situation. “While | do understand your decision in denoting her from your main lady consort to a kitchen staff, | do not see it as safe for your Luna or the unborn child for her to be taking charge of the food that is being served. She might not poison them directly, but she could harm both enough to have you losing them even after birth or even worse, she could end up harming Aurora enough to have her losing her life before she could even give birth to the child or as she gives birth to the baby. And ycxu know how hard it is for someone to be taking care of an Alpha and Luna’s child if not the same mother, especially in early stages.

“| will make further arrangements in ensuring that none of that happens.” | said, looking at Akshana who nodded as a small smile played on her I*ps. “For now, just ensure that she doesn’t end up doing what you just said, and | will ensure that she knows her limit for what she did earlier.”

“Yes, Alpha.” She said, and | nodded, taking a step back as | turned to walk out of the kitchen. My eyes met Aurora’s for a second before she was quick to drop her gaze to the ground, avoiding my eyes as | took a step toward her.

Charlotte, who was in dusting one of the shelve looked at the two of us for a second and | nodded in thanks at Aurora.

“Thank you for the last breakfast” | said, keeping my eyes on her as | knew that Charlotte wasn’t the only one watching. “It was appreciated and | expect to see you on the dining table today during lunch. It is time for you to start acting like the Luna that you are supposed to be..
