Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Dimitri:

It took me a few minutes to process the fact that | was slapped in the face by Aurora.

The way that she looked at me, and her pain that | saw in her eyes was one that | didn’t like. But | knew that | had crossed the line with my words to her, and considering that | knew that she was supposed to be having a guest over in a bit, | didn’t know how things were going to be right now.

| sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose before walking out of the room, knowing that she was in the garden. | knew not to approach her right now, but | also knew that things were going to be more complicated now that she had seen the hotel of Charlotte. Though how the woman even dared to approach her was still a mystery to me, | hated to admit that | wished that | had told her that | was going to go in the first place.

“Dimitri,” Natalia said, catching my attention. | knew that Aurora has been doing her best to keep things from her. She didn’t want to ruin her wedding preparations and what was supposed to be the best night of her life, and that was something that | understood. And though | had to admit, | did wish that she would at least speak to her, maybe, just maybe, it would have made coping with this a little easier for her.

“Is everything alright, Natalia?” | asked, and she nodded.

“Yes, | just wanted to ask if you knew why Aurora has been off with me for the past few days. She hasn't been speaking to me and if | hurt her in any possible. way, | want to apologize.” She said, making my chest tighten. | shook my head and she frowned in confusion before raising an eyebrow. “You two fought again, didn’t you?”

“She’s just overwhelmed with the things that she has to deal with as a Luna. Your know, after the Angelina ceremony and the other packs coming, a lot has changed a more responsibilities flew on both our heads.” | said, choosing to lie. | didn’t know whether or not Aurora wanted her to find out about this to begin with, and if she didn’t, | knew better than to put myself between them.

“| think that you know very well that | am not foolish enough to believe such a lie,” she said, raising an eyebrow at me. She crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head in question. “What happened?”

“Natalia, don’t get me wrong, but if she isn’t going to be the one to tell you, | don’t think that it is my place to do so. | don’t want to find myself in something like this and...”

“You hurt her feelings, and | doubt that she is going to be telling me, especially not now.” She stated, her eyes hardening at me. |

took a deep breath and took a step back, not wanting to talk about this any longer. | had to admit, | hated what happened more than anything and to know what | was being confronted like that, | couldn’t help but find myself growing more annoyed than | already was.. “You know, Dimitri,” Natalia said, stopping me as | turned to the front door. | needed some air, and |

knew that staying here was only going to choke me, especially right now. “You really don’t deserve her, | do hope that you know that.” “I doubt that it is your place to tell me what | do and do not deserve, Natalia.” | said, looking at her over my shoulder. “You being my beta’s mate does not give you the right to think that you can cross your limit. And if | am going to choose. to let your attitude slide; it is only because | know that your wedding is in a few days and | don’t want to hurt you before then.”

“Funny that you should be throwing down threats when you know very well who | am,” she said, and | turned to face the woman with a raised eyebrow. She had her arms crossed over her chest, and | knew that she was playing with fire as she tested me right now. “I am not the weak woman that you are going to threaten and just get away with it. | may be human, but | am more than willing to fight you back if | have to.”

“Then find yourself a different cause to fight for, because this is not one that. concerns you.” | said, glaring daggers at her. She scoffed, and looked at Aurora for a second before shaking her head at me.

“It is a shame that a person like you calls himself the Alpha of Alphas and yet doesn’t know how to treat a woman. But then again, | do think that you believe that all women are nothing but pleasure toys unless they were your mate.” She said, and | let out a low warning growl.

“What is going on here?” Ivan asked, but neither Natalia or me bothered to turn and look at him as he watched us.

‘She is far too good for you and | know for fucking fact that a thousand ment would want to be with her.” Natalia said, keeping her eyes on mine. “It is only at shame that she is wasting her time with a man who doesn’t want to get over a whore who...”

“ENOUGH!”

“Or else what?” She asked, pushing me back. | took a deep breath and closed my eyes before looking at Ivan.

“Take your woman and keep her out of my sight,” | said, and Ivan looked at the two of us for a second, completely baffled at what was going on as he tried. processing what he just witnessed. “As for you, as long as you know nothing, | doubt that you judging by ONE side of a story, and by the way, it is not even the full side, is right. Therefore, unless you want the two of us to have more problems. than you are going to like; | suggest that you stay the fuck out of what doesn’t concern you.”

“Focus on your wedding.” | said, glaring at the woman. She went to respond and | watched Ivan pull him behind him, stopping her from saying whatever she was going to say. “I am going out, Ivan. Tend to things here, we have Claudia, Alexis mate coming, and | don’t want trouble to happen, am | making myself clear?”
