Chapter 104
Aurora:
“These are beautiful.” I said, looking at the flowers.
Natalia nodded as a huge smile seemed to be plastered on her face. I knew that she was more than a little excited for the wedding, and the idea of everything finally settling for her and Ivan was one that she was more than a little happy about. It took a while, but I knew that they wanted this night to be more than perfect for them, and it was something that we were aiming for.
“You didn’t get to prepare for your own wedding?” Natalia asked, making me frown in confusion at her question. “I am asking because you never suggested anywhere or anything. You know, you just seemed to go along with everything that we got as if it were the first. time.”
“I contributed with what my mother allowed me to do.” I said, and she nodded. “You know, my situation was a little different when it comes to being Dimitri’s woman, and we had to make sure that we followed a certain criteria as it was our duty to do so.”
“Understandable,” she said, picking a rose. She smelled it and nodded at the cashier to charge it for her. She pulled her wallet out and I watched as she paid for it before she turned her attention to me.
She took the flower and put the stem in her bag as she allowed the red rose to dangle from it.
“But don’t you get tired of the way that the two of you seem to act around one another?” She asked, making me frown in confusion. “You know, the lack of love, and more hate…”
“We don’t hate each other,” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Well, I don’t know what you two call it; but I am sure that it is hate.” She said, and expression hardened. “One minute the two of you are together, talking and the next, you are fighting. Then the man acts like your lover when it comes to guests being around. Doesn’t it get tiring?”

“I doubt that you are here to
be questioning my relationship with the man…?”
“I am not questioning anything, Aurora.” She said, stopping me. “But I am worried that it is going to end up having a major tow on you. You are going to end up getting hurt, and the man is not going to care. If anything, I doubt that he even does care about you right now!
“Whether or not he does, it doesn’t concern you or anyone around. I am content with what we are doing and my duties come above all.” I said, and she scoffed, shaking her head.
“Do your duties require you to be patient while he chooses to screw a different woman? Say, he might not be doing it now, but don’t you think that he will? The man chose to have another woman in YOUR bed…”
“We are here to prepare for your wedding, Natalia.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes met mine and I took a deep breath as I found myself growing annoyed with what she was saying. No matter how true it was, I didn’t want to find myself being slapped with something that I wanted to very much ignore.
“I am aware, but this is the ONLY place where I was going to be able to speak to you without risking the fact that the walls would be having ears within the pack grounds.” She said, making me frown as she shook her head at me. “I like you, Aurora. You are the sister that I don’t have, and you are kind, your heart is very genuine, but you have one thing that I despise, and it is something that you HAVE to change. Otherwise, not only you are going to be affected, but even your little one.”
I didn’t respond as I waited for what she was going to say, and she looked at the door for a second before looking at me. I knew that her family arrived, and I could hear them calling for her. She smiled and winked at them, motioning for them to wait before she turned her attention to me for a moment.
“You are going to have to STOP blaming yourself for his mistakes and you are going to have to grow out of that cocoon of safety that you surround yourself with. If you want your relationship with him to survive for more than just ‘children, then have him chase after you as a lion do for his prey. Force him to be hungry for you, and do not give in for simple I am sorry.” She said, nodding at a rose that was yet to be plucked. It had its thorns still, and I couldn’t help but look down at my feet as my ch*st ached. “A flower’s thorn cuts, and hurts, but everyone still sees it as beautiful. She fights to protect herself though she is a plant, and it is desired by everyone who sees it. Most see its beauty, others its scent, but there comes a person who plucks and removes the thorns.”

“When that person does that, the life of that flower slowly dies. It perishes as time goes, and I see that happening to you. The life that you have is going to be sucked unless you freeze your heart, as a flower is frozen to be kept for longer periods. It doesn’t deny the fact that it is dead, but no one can hurt it.” She said, shrugging her shoulders. “If you want to live; be the rose that has her thorns, that is beautiful, is taken care of, but would cut whoever dares to pluck it out. Otherwise, not only you, but even those that surround you are going to end up dying or getting hurt.”
She took a deep breath before taking a step back. “I am going to go and say hello to my cousins. You can think of what I said before I introduce you. They are going to want to get to know who our ‘boss’s‘ wife is. And as you may know, a Pakhan’s wife is one who is often envied. Do you not agree…?”
She walked out without saying a word, and I looked down at the rose that she was referring to before taking a deep breath as I forced myself to turn around and face the women. I smiled, walking out of the store as I heard them ask.
“Is everything okay?” One of the girls asked.
“What were the two of you talking about anyway?” Another asked, not knowing that I could hear them. Neither one of them knew that I was a wolf to begin with, and seeing as they were all humans, I didn’t expect them to believe that I would be one anyway.
“Just a second hand’s future wife and our Pakhan’s wife talking. You know, it is customary for us to discuss how things are going to be now. Especially considering the fact that I am. going to be the closest to her now, do you not agree?” Natalia asked, looking at the women who nodded. I walked toward them and smiled.
“Hi girls,” I said, and they smiled.

“Ladies, this is the famous Aurora Volkov.” Natalia introduced. However, it was her next words that had me choking on my breath as I knew that they might never be the reality how things were between the two of us. I wished that it would be, but judging by the circumstance, I knew that it was almost near impossible for it to be true. “Wife and love of Boss Dimitri Volkov…”
