The story of Alpha

Aurora:

“What on Earth happened to your face?” I asked, my eyes widening in surprise as I looked at the bruise that was forming on Alessandro’s cheek. He looked at me for a second and I shook my head in question, waiting for his response as I tried processing the fact that his bruise was a fresh one. “Dimitri, did you and Ivan get into a fight?”

“It does not concern you.” He said, taking me off guard with his attitude. I took a deep breath and nodded, knowing that I shouldn’t have asked to begin with. He was with his beta and the two of them could rot in hell and I shouldn’t be caring about whether or not they burned because of it

“I understand, but your face is bruised and we have elders coming in a bit.” I said, shaking my head at him.

“Training, you know, as pack members, we do that. But you wouldn’t know considering that you are not one of us.” He said, making my ch*st burn. The fact that I was trying to be genuine with him only to get such a response was something that I did not like, but I knew that it was me who dragged this upon myself. I shouldn’t have asked to begin with.

I nodded in response and turned to the reception to ch*ck on the setting one more time before the door was knocked, meaning that the elders arrived. I put my hand on my stomach, remembering the promise that I made to my child. The last thing that I wanted was to have my baby living away from one of his parents, and I knew that if I proceeded with arguments with Dimitri, it was going to lead to that. Therefore, I turned and smiled as I looked at the elders who walked inside the house.

“Lord Alpha, Elder Jordan, it is a pleasure for the two of you to be here.” I said, smiling at the two of them. I knew that they were here to ch*ck on how things were going, and I had to admit, I was happier now that Charlotte was not here. And though I knew that Dimitri and I were not together. In theory, the man did not even spare me a second glance, well, that is ignoring yesterday night when the two of us spoke, but I knew that with that point, maybe, just maybe, we had a chance to at least try forming a small sort of friendship. And that was something that I aimed on having as my reality.

“How are you two?” The Lord Alpha asked, smiling at me. I smiled and nodded at him before shaking my head in question when I saw the frown that was on Dimitri’s face. And I understood the reason behind it. Both the Elder and Lord Alpha walked toward me, ignoring his presence by the door, and though I did not understand why, I knew not to ask more questions than necessary. The man was going to know how to deal with things. All I had to do was go with the moment.

“We are well, how are you? I trust that we have not missed much during our period of time alone.” I said, smiling at the Lord Alpha whose eyes softened. The fact that he asked me before how I felt was one thing that I was never going to forget. It was something that my own mother did not ask. If anything, she did not even care to consider asking how her daughter was feeling, truly feeling, considering that she knew that the man that I was with had his mistress.

The

memory

ry of me finding out about it and telling her popped in my head, and I couldn’t help the small frown that momentarily formed on my l*ps before I smiled as I looked at the Lord Alpha. His eyes studied my expression as a father’s would do to his daughter when he sensed her annoyance, and I shook my head at the man, waiting for his response, noticing that he was yet to give it. He shook his head, quickly snapping himself out of whatever daze he fell into before he smiled.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“We are well, and have been well, child.” He said, and I nodded before he turned to look at Dimitri who was waiting for the two of them to pay him any attention. And I couldn’t help but find myself not missing the glare that he had on his face toward me. It was one that I knew very well. It was one of both anger and jealousy, and though I didn’t know what he had to be jealous of, I knew not to ask any questions as I tended to my own thing.

“Dimitri, my apologies, but you know that we have our Luna carrying your heir. It is something to be valued and to be appreciated. Do not take it as a form of disrespect.” Lord Alpha Sirius said, looking at Dimitri. “It has been a while since we have had an allying heir Alpha, and that is something that I am finding myself proud of, and not only that, but I am willing to express it loudly for her to hear and see.”

“That is very kind of you, Lord Alpha.” I said, and he nodded before elder Jordan turned to look at me.

“How is your child? Have you gotten the checkups taken care of? Is there anything that you would want or need from us to provide?” She asked, and I smiled and shook my head. One thing that I noticed despite the hate that the Alpha had toward me was the fact that he was sure that I had everything that I needed. No matter what it was, the pack doctors had it provided. It was me who initially chose to reject and neglect everything as I tried processing what I was dealing with.

“We are both fine. The pack doctor has been keeping a close eye on me as instructed by Alpha Dimitri, you need not worry, 1. and my baby, are in good hands.” I said, looking at Dimitri. His eyes were fixed on mine for a few seconds, and the hate that I saw in them was not one that I understood, especially when I knew that there was no reason for it to be there.

“As long as you say so, then we will be forced to comply and listen. But if there is anything that you might need, anything at all, please do let us know.” She said, her voice softening and I smiled and nodded. “Also, considering the fact that the baby is your first and that this mating was arranged by us, we are to provide you a full nurse care when you near your labor time.”

“Elder Jordan…”

“I am not asking, child. It is a gift from us as elders. You are going to need the help that you can get considering the number of gatherings that you would be having, and we want to ensure that both you and the child are both comfortable and safe. Therefore, please, do accept this small offer from us. It is one that you truly do deserve…”
