Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 45

Aurora:

“You've been in your room for the past two days,” Ivan stated, and | took a deep breath.

“Do you not have a mate to keep you busy?” | asked, shaking my head in question. “Do not get me wrong, but you seem to be far too busy stalking me instead of being busy with the woman that you are supposed to be with.”

“My mate does not concern you, and if | am stalking you, it is to ensure that my Alpha’s child is safe.” He said, and | shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose. It has been a month since the last meeting with the elders and since Charlotte was kicked out of the pack, and though | knew better than to think that anything would be changing between the Alpha and 1, | could tell that he was being a lot more distant as time went. The conversation with my parents ended up turning things against me more than | would have hoped that it would, and | knew that it was something that annoyed even the beta.

“My baby is safe, Alpha or not, | am not going to end up harming my child because Tam upset or annoyed. But if it helps you feel any better, | am not tired, | am just choosing to rest as | have been waking up with an odd morning sickness and haven’t been getting the sleep that | would want to normally get in such situations.” | said, and he raised an eyebrow. “You needn't worry, it is a full moon tonight and being pregnant prevents me from shifting, but that doesn’t mean that | don’t feel the changes that occur.”

“I see,” he said, and | smiled.

“If there isn’t anything that you would like to add, you can leave.” | said, nodding at the door/keeping a small sarcastic smile on my face as | did. His eyes met mine and he went to take a step back only to shock me when he stopped. | frowned in confusion and he sighed.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“How do you feel being an omega within the pack?” He asked, taking me off guard with his question. His eyes met mine and | shook my head, taking a deep breath as | tried processing what he was asking “My mate is human, and | don’t know how things are going to work.”

“Do you like her?” | asked, and he looked down at his feet, making me smile.

“A lot,” he said, and | nodded.

“It would work. If you want it to, then it would be working. Yes, | understand that you might be worried, but you know that it would work if you want your relationship to. As for how | feel being an omega within the pack, then | am going to tell you that | feel no different than being the Alpha’s daughter, adopted or not, when | was back at home.” | said, voicing out how | was feeling. The fact that they kept hitting me with the fact that | was an orphan was something that | wasn’t going to forget, but | knew that | grew up being who | was, bloodline or not, | knew who | was and who | wanted to be.

“Even despite you not having noble blood?” He asked, and | took a deep breath. “Don’t get me wrong, but you know that your rank is the lowest of them all. You don’t have anything that would consider you as fit to be an Alpha’s mate except maybe the way that you were raised.”

“| believe that you know that Dimitri needs someone like me in his life. | may not be the pure blood that he would have wanted, and maybe | never will be. But, | am the person that he needs, be it etiquette, the way that | deal with things and how I manage the house; | think that you are not blind not to see that things have changed to the better within the house when it comes to the fact that elders are present.” | said, and he smiled. “Don’t judge her because she is human. If you like her, then go on ahead and give her a chance. But losing her simply because she is not a wolf would only make you regret it later, and that is something that you are going to have to keep in mind.”

“What if she doesn’t accept being within the pack? You know that | am not going to be able to leave my position by Dimitri’s side, and...”

“That would depend on how the two of you agree to do things and how you choose to want to manage your relationship. But that doesn’t mean, not for a second, that you have to put assumptions before making the first move, and | can tell by your question that the first move wasn’t done yet.” | said, and he sighed, making me smile. | walked toward him and put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently. “Just go with it, you know that you are going to be able to get things right when you follow your gut. But running away like this, clearly fearing something that is not even there, then you are not going to be able to get anywhere. And trust me, you are not going to want to live with a ‘what if?’ if you don’t try.”

“Thank you, Aurora.” He said, and | smiled and nodded.

“You're most welcome, Ivan.” | said, taking a step back. He looked down at me for a second, and | couldn’t help but notice him studying my expression. His next words making a small smile appear on my face despite all the shit that the two of us normally went through.

“You know, | do think that you might be good for the pack, and not just Dimitri.” He said, turning toward the door. “You just don’t seem to know it yet. Maybe none of us does...”
