The story of Alpha

Aurora:

I stayed quiet for a while as a heavy feeling settled in my chest.

And though I didn’t understand what was going on, I knew that the men didn’t just go to talk because they had a ‘minor‘ problem to deal with.

Something was going on, whatever it was, something was wrong.

“We are going to need to go for fittings tomorrow,” Natalia said, breaking my train. of thoughts. I looked at her and shook my head in question, trying to process. what the woman just told me. “The two of us, we are going to go dress fittings. A few of my friends and cousins are coming too. You know, with the wedding in a few days, we are going to need to have this final check.”

I smiled and nodded in agreement, knowing that we needed everything to be ready before then. The last thing that we were going to need to deal with was a dress that was either too big or too small. She wanted the night to be perfect and for so many reasons, I knew why it had to be.

The marriage was not only tying up a ‘mating bond, but it would bring the family close to the Del Gardi family, one of the strongest Italian families that lived here in the States. I knew that it would help the family and considering that the alliance would also make my kids, who would be Alphas and Pakhans in the future, ensure stronger alliances that were tied by blood. It was one of the main reasons why this wedding was very important to us as a family.

“When would we head off? Being the bride, you are going to need the longest time and ch*ck up. And I think that we are going to need to pass by the pastry to ensure that everything is getting ready.” I said, and she nodded.

“Then we have the flowers, I know that we prepared everything and the designs. But I want to make a final ch*ck to ensure that it is what I want. You know…”

“Yes, I do.” I said, and she smiled. It was something that I didn’t have when it came to the mating ceremony. I doubt that I ever will, and therefore, living through it with her made it feel special for me. At least I got to know and feel what it was like to be a bride, even if I wasn’t preparing this for me; I was happily doing it for her and by her side.

For the dress that I wore, it was my mother who chose it. I wasn’t even allowed to try it on or see it until the ceremony night. She just had tailors coming in and out to keep measuring me as if I were some cattle that they were preparing to sell, then they would leave. To her, she understood better, she was the Luna, and I was the girl that didn’t understand the basics of what needed to

be done when it came to such ceremonies. And I knew better than to argue. She was going to win anyway, there was no use in trying in the first place.

“We need to ch*ck on the chocolates, by the way.” I said, reminding her. “They

told us that they would be arriving tomorrow. You might want to take a look at how they came in.”

“Oh. My. God. YES!” She said, looking somewhat more excited. I had to admit, her excitement got my mind off things, and I couldn’t help but smile. Dimitri’s eyes met mine for a moment, and though I still was angry with him. Though I had so many mixed feelings about him and what he had done. I didn’t know how I was going to manage coping with them either, I knew that this was something that I had to play well. And that was going to include my responsibilities toward the pack as his ‘wife, mate, and the mother of his daughter‘

“I have a feeling that we are going to be dealing with a lot more than just the few things that we have planned,” Natalia teased, and I laughed, shaking my head at the woman. She smiled at me and winked, before I shook my head.

“As long as it’s perfect, I think that we are going to enjoy it…”

“I heard that you have plans with Natalia tomorrow.” Dimitri said, entering the room as I rocked Angelina. I looked at him, watching as she looked up at me with big beautiful eyes. She was waking up a lot more lately and she was having more sleeping nights, which was something that I was thankful for.

“You are the one reminding me of how important this wedding is, I am going to be doing my duties.” I said, and he nodded. His eyes met mine for a moment and I looked down at our little one, smiling at her. “Is there anything that you want to tell me? If not, I need to go and put my child to sleep.”

“Are you going to join me in bed?”

“No,” I said, and he frowned in confusion. “I am going to sleep in my daughter’s nursery tonight.”

“Are you going to be this way, Aurora?”

“I am going to start knowing what I am worth, Dimitri.” I said, and he took a deep breath. “You do not care whether or not I am upset. And you do not care that I was hurt, and I am done trying to explain to you that it is something that is burning me inside.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Do you believe that I don’t care?” He asked, and I shook my head.

“I don’t need to believe anything, Alpha.” I said, and he frowned in confusion. “I know for fact that I am the least of your concerns. And I am done trying to please a man who proved…”

“You are my woman, Aurora…”

“No,” I said, and he frowned. “SHE was your woman. SHE was your love. I am your duty, and considering that I gave you an heir who was worth the ‘crystal n*ecklace‘ that you gave me. Thank you for it, but that will be my last of expectations. Now, if I can be excused; I would like to put my daughter in her crib…”
