Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 42 Dimitri: “For a man who is expecting his first child, you do not seem to be very excited about it.” Lord Alpha Sirius said, looking at me. | smiled and shook my head in question, not understanding why he would be thinking that.

“Not at all, if anything. | am more than thrilled about having my first born. Though | am curious about the reason of why you would think that, Lord Alpha?” | asked, voicing out my confusion. The last thing that | needed was for Aurora to be telling the elders anything behind my back. And though | could tell that she wasn’t saying anything that | would be against, | couldn't help but find myself growing annoyed and curious about why they would be paying her this much attention when she was nothing but an omega blood.

The woman was carrying MY child, and | was the higher rank, and yet, she was getting the attention that an Alpha should be having, “You do not seem to be interacting with your mate, nor do you seem to be by her side. She is carrying your baby and considering that it is your first, | would have been expecting more of a closer relationship between the two of you.” He said, lookingin the eye and | smiled.

“The two of us are doing very well together. It is just the small fact that we sometimes find it harder to get used to the fact that we are mates. You know, we were not fated and things are just moving a little too fast forto comprehend, and as a woman, Aurora seems to be happy that an instinct is being fulfilled. That is all that there is to it,” | said, and he nodded in understanding.

The two of us were walking in the garden, considering that he wanted to speak toin private, and | knew that telling him no or implying that | didn’t want to speak to him was going to be something that not only would he take as rude, but | would be questioned for, and that wasn’t something that | wanted to deal with.

“You know, when we chose the two of you to be together, it was to unify both packs. | think that you are well aware that she is not...

“I am aware, and it is a topic that she does not like speaking of. | would rather not talk about it being her back.” | said, stopping the man. | had to admit, | knew that it was risky to do so, but | also knew that he would take it asvaluing her privacy. As for the main reason why | did it, | had to admit, the story that she toldthe other day was one that played in my head, and the fact that | knew that she never understood why she was abandoned the way that she was tore something in me. | didn’t know what it was nor did | understand, but | knew that I did not like it. It was one thing to know that she was an omega, an orphan, but it was another thing to know that she held onto the idea of maybe, at least, that she would know what the reason behind her being abandoned was.

And considering her confusion and the way that she spoke, | knew that she might have not been allowed to speak of this topic with her parents either. Therefore, she was stuck with whatever she had in her mind to think of. That was the main reason why | was going to help her at least find out who they were. Maybe it would ease her pain to either know that they were dead or to see and try to speak to them.

“I heard the story from her, and | know that it hurts her to speak of this topic. | am sorry for stopping you the way that | did, Lord Alpha” | said, trying to ensure that | didn’t press on too many buttons. The man nodded in understanding.

*There is nothing better than a man who would value his lover's secrets and pride.” He said, and | took in a sharp breath.

“She toldthat it hurts her, and she toldthat she wants to find out about them. She aims to know whether they were dead or alive, and that is why | do not wish to stab her with something that | know has affected her as much as it did.” | could swear that the man took in a harsh breath, and | couldn't help the frown that formed on my I*ps at that. His eyes met mine and he shook his head in question, takingoff guard.

“What did you just say?” He asked, makingfrown in confusion.

“Sorry?” | asked, shaking my head and his eyes hardened.

“Lasked, what did you just **cking say about her wanting to find her parents.” He said, turning to face me. | frowned in confusion and shook my head in question.

“She has the right to know where she cfrom, and | offered to help considering that she wanted it. As her mate, | do not see where that is wrong.” | said, and the man clenched and unclenched his fist, takingoff guard before he grabbedby my shirt’s collar. | frowned in confusion and his eyes turned into a dark shade of golden, making my heart race.

| knew that ONE wrong move fromwould be fatal, and not only for me, but my whole pack. And for that, | was forced to submit as | waited for whatever he was going to say. However, | had to admit, | couldn't help but find myself wondering why he was as angry as he was, | knew not to question him right now.

“You are going to listen to what | have to say and | am not going to repeat myself twice.” He said, makingfrown as the door opened. Aurora and Elder Jordan walked out, looking at the two of us, and | couldn't help but notice the elder looking at Aurora for a second, making sure that she might be listening before his next words tookoff guard. Especially when | saw literally no reason behind them when we were dealing with a rogue and his Luna. “You two are going to drop this search immediately and the last thing that we expect to hear is for anyone to hear of this mess, do you understand?” “My search is going to be discrete...” “You are going to drop it, otherwise, both you and your mate are going to pay the prices of it.” He said, makingfrown. “Am | making myself clear, Alpha Dimitri? And | trust that you are going to be the person to speak to your mate about it Unless, if course, you aim forto speak to her. If that is the case, then | am going to be more than willing to do so, but | make no promises on what | am going to tell her. Therefore, the choice is yours, do you understand me, Alpha Dimitri?”
