Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 81 Dimitri: “Do you want to tellwhat happened?” | asked, entering the bedroom, following Aurora who just put Angelina to sleep.

The guests left an hour ago, and now, the two of us finally had our moments of peace to stay together. It was something that | was thankful for, and considering that we were going to get srest as well, Angelina had two maids tending to her in case she woke up at night.

“Mom toldsomething to bothertonight. | know that she did it to ruin the night for me, but | am thankful that you were there by my side. To say the least, you helped pass it for me.” | smiled at her words before walking toward her. | put my hands on her shoulders as her back was to me, gently massaging them before wrapping my arms around her.

“Do you want to tellwhat it was about?” | asked, making sure that my voice was gentle as | spoke. | knew that she was yet to trustcompletely, and | had to admit, | couldn’t blher for it. Had | been in her place and situation, | knew that even looking at the person who hurtas much as | hurt her was going to be hard.

“You don’t need to be afraid. | promised you that | was going to listen and support you no matter what it was, and | will stick to my word. Just tellwhat happened forto be able to help out, malyshka.” She didn’t speak for a few seconds, and | could tell that she was debating on whether or not to tell me, and even if she did decide to want to tell me; | knew that she was trying to find the right way to it. But | had to admit, | couldn't help but find myself being upset that her mother chose an important night like this one to tell her something to hurt her.

We passed Charlotte, and that was a plus in my eyes, but the last thing that | expected was for harm to cfrom family. But then again, | had to keep in mind that regardless of the way that they treated her, | knew that it was because. they were benefitting to sextent. The woman was not their daughter, and that. was something that will always have a small tow to it.

She walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it before looking atto come, and | smiled before walking to her side, sitting down as | looked at her. Her heart raced, and she clenched then unclenched her fist, taking deep and slow breaths as she did, clearly trying to calm herself down a bit.

“She toldwho my father was,” she said, making my eye widen in surprise. This was the last thing that | expected her to say, especially considering the fact that | could tell that it was something that must have caused her a fuss before to quiet down her curiosity about the topic. “I don’t know who my mother is, she didn’t tell me, but she chose to tonight of all nights to cand tellthat because | had a child and a ‘mate’ that | was ready to hear this. | wasn't,” Her honesty was one that | didn’t expect at this moment, but | could tell that she had let her walls down as she spoke, choosing to trust that | wasn’t going to harm her with what | was hearing. And | was going to be honest, though I didn’t even know who the man was yet, and though | didn’t even expect what she just said, | wasn't going to harm her with what she was going to tell me. If anything, | was going to be sure to protect her with everything that | could.

“Do you want to tellwho it is? And why you are not happy with it?” | asked, shaking my head in question.

Though | knew that she must have been in shock to hear of whoever the person was, | expected her to be at least happy to know where she cfrom. Unless the person was one who was an enemy to her or someone who would have harmed those that were around; then that was a different case.

“I don’t know how to say it out loud, Dimitri.” She said, takingoff guard as she hesitated. Her heart raced against her chest, and for the first tsince | met her, | saw her scared, genuinely scared, and it wasn’t because of us being mates, it was because of something that was bigger than that. The pain that | saw in her eyes was one that | didn’t like either, and I couldn't help but frown in confusion as | tried to understand what was going on.

| took both her hands in mine, squeezing them in assurance before slowly pulling her to my chest. She took a deep and slow breath, trying to calm herself down, but her next words were more painful than | could have described.

“I don’t want to end up losing you when | barely just managed to fix things, if a little with you, Dimitri.” She said, not looking up at me. “I don’t want to end up breaking what we are trying to build when we barely just started with it, and it is even my fault. | swear that | didn’t know.

I had to admit, | couldn't help but frown as I tried understanding what she was saying. But | was sure to stay quiet as | feared that she would end up stopping whatever it was that she was going to tell me. The idea of that was not one that | wanted. Instead, whatever it was, | wanted her to voice it out forto understand how | was to be able to help out. And | had to admit, | was curious about who that man was and why he would be choosing to throw a daughter away when she was baby who need her parents.

“I don’t want my daughter to live without her dad, and | know that it could possibly happen if you choose to resent or sendaway. | know what it is to lose. a parent; I lived without mine throughout my entire life, learning and hearing that | was a bastard, and that is not something that | want for my child. I don’t want her thinking or believing for a second that she was.” She said, moving away from me.

She lookedin the eye, and | frowned at the sight of her eyes being welled up with tears. Her pain was one that | read through her tone and the idea of whatever she was going to tellbeing serious was not one that | could ignore. | had to admit, it was one that frightened me, and | knew that she was just as scared. “Aurora, malyshka, | told you that we were going to solve this together.” | aid, my voice softening as | cupped her cheeks to wipe her tears for her. “Whoever that man is, it is not your fault that he fucked whoever he did or that she ended.

up pregnant. The two of us are going to solve things together, and | am neither leaving you or our daughter. We are going to have more kids and we are going to be enjoying our lives together. But | am going to need you to calm down, baby. We are going to have to talk about this to know how we are to handle the situation together.” “He is my father, Dimitri.” She said, makingfrown in confusion. “He has been right in front of us the whole time. f**ks sake, he was watching us together, and | don’t even know whether or not he knew who | was, but judging by the way that mom spoke; | could tell that he might have known.” “Aurora, what the hell are you talking about?” | asked, shaking my head in question as | tried processing her words. The fact that the person was right in front of us was something that I didn’t understand. And if he knew who she was, why didn’t he just approach her? The idea of something being odd worried me, but | knew to wait and listen to what she had to tellbefore jumping to any conclusion.

“The Lord Alpha. The Lord Alpha is my father, Dimitri...”
