Chapter 85 Aurora: “Morning.” | said, smiling Dimitri as he woke up.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

| raised myself a little, k*ssing his cheek. He cupped my cheeks and pulled me to him, connecting his I*ps with mine. My heart skipped a beat, and he smiled into the k*ss before the two of us pulled away. And | had to admit, | couldn’t help but find myself wondering whether or not this was a dream or not.

| rested my forehead against his, and he wrapped his hand around my waist, pulling me to his chest.

“Good morning, malyshka.” He whispered, and | smiled. “How are you feeling?” “I’m well, and you?” | asked, arching my back ever so slightly as he ran his finger over it. His eyes met mine and he nodded.

“| was not referring to it being physically.” He said, and | looked down at his chest, avoiding his eyes as a heavy feeling settled in my chest. Truth be told, | was still scared of what | knew, but | was a little more thankful for the fact that | had him by my side, but | knew that it was something that | was going to have to face eventually. Knowing my mother, | knew that she didn’t just break the news for me to unite me with my father. Something was up, but whatever it was, | knew that it was still buried deep under.

“| know,” | said, and he nodded. “I don’t know what | am supposed to be feeling toward the situation, Dimitri. But what | know is. one thing, | am going to have to, somehow, at some point, find myself accepting what | heard. Maybe it is going to be hard for me to do so now, but | know that something is going to be rotting out

of it.” “What do you mean?” He asked, told me that it was going to be, and | looked away from him. The fact that he

secret was one thing that | was thankful for. At least, | knew that he was going to be there for me if something was to happen. But | wasn’t dumb either, | knew that if something was to happen, nothing was going to be hidden.

“| have a bad feeling about what mom told me, | mean, the reason that she did.” | said, and he frowned. “I know that | might not make sense right now, but | know that she couldn’t have been as cruel to just want to reveal who he was for no reason. Something must have occurred...”

“But wouldn't the elder know of it?” He asked, and | shook my head. “I mean, if something was wrong, maybe they would have planned it? You know, your family and pack have always been a part of the council, and now we can understand why. | doubt that your mom would be betraying the pact that she made with him. And...”

“Yeah, but even if that was the case, why didn’t the Lord Alpha approach? The

man seemed to be genuinely concerned about why | was avoiding him. And the issue is, | don’t even know how | am going to be able to look him in the eye. without getting answers to the questions that | had.” | said, and he shook his head at me. His eyes were fixed on mine for a few seconds, and | couldn't help but look away from him, avoiding his gaze. “| am fussing you off with my problems early this morning and | know that you have a lot to deal with later today.”

“What?” He asked, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean by | have a lot to deal with?”

“You told me that you had work with Ivan yesterday. You know, | asked you delay till afternoon as you would need to rest, but here | was, rather than allowing you

to rest...

“Aurora, the two of us are a couple, or at least, we really are trying to be.” He said, stopping me. “I want you to open up to me and | want you to be able to talk to me without fearing that | would be pushing you away. If anything, the last thing that | am going to do is that, malyshka.”

“Even when | know that you have a thousand things to work on? You know, with last night and its preparation, then the wedding. We are going to have to deal with a lot and | doubt that it is going to be making things any easier.” | said, and he chuckled before tightening his arm around me. | could hear his heart racing, and though he was calm, | could tell that something was off about him. His eyes seemed to be distant, and a spec of worry could be seen in them.

“What happens outside these walls will be staying outside. While yes, | will have a lot to deal with, that doesn’t mean that |am not going to want to be by your side. And that is going to include me listening to you when you need me to. To say the least, | know for fucking fact that you are going to be more than willing to listen to me whenever | spoke to you.” He said, making my heart swell as pulled away to look him in the eye. “I don’t want you to be worried or frightened that | might end up resenting your presence, no matter what the reason is, malyshka.”

His eyes studied my expression, and | couldn’t help but notice guilt in them, something that | only saw in his gaze on the night that | woke up after giving birth.

“Is everything alright, Dimitri?” | asked, shaking my head at him. He looked at me for a second too long before he smiled and nodded.

“Yes, baby girl, but | am going to have to get up and get ready. And | think that you are going to need to check on Angelina.” He said, and | smiled. “The faster | am done with things, the faster and easier it would be for me to come back home to you.”

“To me?” | asked, blushing at his choice of words.

“Yes, baby girl. To you,” he said, pushing me off of him gently. “I'll see you before. | leave, okay...?”
