Chapter 38
Lord Alpha Sirius:
“You seem to be avoiding the fact that we are supposed to have a second meeting. Sirius.” Jordan said, looking at me. | sucked in a sharp breath and looked down at the papers that | had on my desk, not in the mood for her attitude. The last thing that | needed to deal with was this, and here | was, forced to look at the woman when | wanted nothing more than to be alone. “It was your choice to let her go, Sirius. You cannot be regretting that right now when she is an adult.”
“You are not to interfere with what | can and cannot do.” | said, glaring at the woman. She shook her head at me before walking toward me..
“l can, and | will. The two of us agreed to send her away to ensure a certain order, one which you broke. Therefore, you are not to come now, pitying over a situation that has been long decided and long taken care of. Mind you, | think that me allowing her to live was mercy..” | banged on the table, stopping her. “Have it as you wish. You chose to cheat and you chose a scandal. It was one that Valeria paid for, and not once did we confront you with the death of the woman. But you chose to let the child go, and you are going to forget that she is your daughter just as you have for all the years that passed.”
“| never forgot my daughter, Jordan.” | said, shaking my head at the woman, thinking back to the night where | knew that | had one solution to keep her alive. It was either that or | risked her dying and that was not something that | was aiming to do, especially when | knew that | lost her mother after she gave birth to her. “Now, before things get dirty, | do suggest that you f**king get out of my office. Otherwise, | am going to be sure that you not only regret coming inside, but that you also find it harder to look me in the eye without getting the gutting feeling that | am going to be sure that you are out of the position that you seem to think that you are holding dear”
“Is that a threat, Lord Alpha?” She asked, glaring daggers at me. | got up from my chair, keeping my eyes on her as | took a step toward her, her heart raced and she knew that she not only triggered me, but now that | furious. “My apologies if | have crossed my limits.”
“You are going to remember that no matter the privileges that | am allowing you, that | am your superior. And IF you seem to forget that, | can be very kind to remind you, and believe me, my reminder will not as kind as you would hope for it to be.” | said, and she looked down at her feet. Her heart raced against her chest, and she nodded, not saying a word before taking a step back, knowing that it was best for her to get out of my sight. Should she have chosen to stay, she knew that things were going to most likely get out of hand, and she wasn’t stu pid, she knew that she couldn’t afford dealing with my anger right now.
I ran my fingers through my hair for a second before looking out the window. The pain that | felt at that was one that | couldn’t help but growl at. My heart raced against my chest, and she looked away from me, not saying a word for a few seconds. | clenched and unclenched my fists, knowing that it would be best to not say a thing.
“| do hope that you know that | really do not like knowing that you are away from me, my child.” | whispered, remembering the pain that | felt on the night that | was forced to give her away. It was a sacrifice that | was forced to make, and | knew that she might never understand me if | tried explaining it to her. | wouldn’t expect her to do so, nor would be blaming her if
she didn’t either.
Flashback:
“Lord Alpha, to what do we owe the honor?” Mikhail, the man that | gave my daughter to, asked, shaking his head in. question. The Alpha knew that | didn’t come here very often, and if | did, it only meant that it was important
He looked down at he black cloak that | was wearing as | held my child to my chest, forcing myself to ignore the pain that | felt at the fact that not only did | lose her mother less than an hour ago, but that | was going to be losing her too.
He opened the door for me, allowing me inside, and | took a deep breath before revealing my child’s face. She whimpered in my arms, and | forced myself to look at the man, ignoring the little beautiful angel that | was more than a little excited to see when | heard of the pregnancy. It was an act of love, one that | crossed my limits with, and | knew that it was the price that | was going to have to pay.
“My daughter, | want her to stay here...”
“Tord Alpha...”
“| know that you and your mate are unable to produce a child, and mine would be dead if she stays with me. | do not wish for her to die, nor do | want you to suffer the agony of losing your pack. | understand that you might not understand my reasoning for that...”
“Lord Alpha, please excuse me interrupting you, but even if | raise the girl as my own. | am not going to be able to have her as the pack Alpha. You know that she is not of the pack bloods, nor is she mated to an Alpha..”
“| can ensure that she is arranged as pack Alpha’s mate. The child that they would be giving birth to would be ensuring the union of two packs, and considering that the child would be a noble blood, | am sure that you are going to be able to find a y to accept this.” | said, looking at the man. His eyes looked back at the door where his mate stood, and her eyes widened when she heard my daughter’s whimpers. “I do not have another option right now, and | do not intend to lose my child, Mikhail.
way
“Would we guarantee that she would be safe? The pack grounds could easily be attacked by those who would...”
“The elders will be protecting her, and | will ensure that myself.” | said, stopping the man. “And considering that you are going to be taking her in, you are going to be under the elder’s protection. And not only would that be an advantage, but you are going to be the right hands of the elders. All that is required of you is to say yes. | will be taking care of the rest.
End of Flashback
The pain that | felt that night seemed to find its way back inside my chest as | pulled my phone out of my pocket, calling my secretary. | knew that Jordan was right about one thing despite the bullsh it that she had said.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Lord Alpha?” Matilda asked, answering the phone.
| was avoiding the meeting between us. | was fighting the pain that | felt whenever | looked at her.
| took a deep breath and forced myself to shut my emotions as | recalled the fact that not only would she be under threat if they found out who she was, but that she would be an easy target. And that was not something that | wanted to put her through.
-The fact that she was carrying Dimitri’s child was not something that | understood, but | knew that at least, that ensured that she was under his protection, if for a while. And that was something that | was somewhat thore assured about when it came to the factors that | was going to have to deal with.
“Call Dimitri and arrange a meeting between the family and the ciders.” | said, looking down at the picture that | had on my desk. It was of Aurora’s mother and I, she was on her first month of pregnancy, and | couldn’t help but smile at the memory of us being in our secret garden, counting the days for child's arrival
Little did | know was that the night that | was going to be seeing my little angel, my fruit of love, was going to be the same night that | lost the love of my life. It was a memory that brought me both joy and pain, a reminder of my humanity when it came to moments like this one.
“Tell them that it is time for us to see one another considering that it is their second month of marriage
