Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 77 Dimitri: “Welcover,” | smiled, greeting my mother as she entered the house. Her and dad both entered the house, and though | knew that | was supposed to be greeting my father first as he was the Alpha, | also knew that she was not the type to follow. such rules. It was against her to do so anyway, and | often believed that it was the reason why my father initially fell for her. The fire in her eyes was one that | knew attracted him more than anything.

Mom smiled, huggingtightly, and I couldn’t help but find myself but smile as | knew that she was going to be happy to see her grandchild. It was something that | knew she was excited about. And | couldn’t help but find myself growing curious about how she would be reacting when she saw Angelina.

It was only a matter of tbefore our other guests arrived too, and | knew that the faster they met her, the better the outcwas going to be. At least, she was going to be able to have a little tto see and hold her if she wanted to.

Aurora, who stood beside me, didn’t say a word as she looked atfor a second. | knew that mom and dad would be more than a little proud of her. At least they knew that the family heir was going to be coming from our bloodline and that their bloodline was not going to go extinct like other families did. And though | knew that even | didn’t expect things to happen this way, | was glad that they did.

“You know, Dimitri, the last thing that | expected was to find myself treated as a guest in my own son’s home.” She said, looking at Aurora. It was something that | knew she hated. Her leaving the house when | had the elders’ arrangement was something that she didn’t like. In her mind, she would have wanted to be within the pack’s grounds, but | knew that it wasn’t going to be ending well if that happened. And the last thing that | needed was for anyone to seewith Charlotte, even if they knew of it and were to stay quiet about it.

| cupped my mom's cheeks and k*ssed her forehead, letting my I*ps linger there for a few seconds. It was true, | didn’t like the idea of her living in the pack as | knew that it would have cwith consequences, but that didn’t mean that | wanted her to act like a stranger.

“You know that this is going to be your home, forever and always, mama.” | said, my voice softening. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me, hugging met tightly before | pulled away to look at my father. He stood two steps back, looking at both mom and I, and Aurora smiled when mom approached. Normally, | knew that it was dad who was supposed to be greeted first, but mom was not going to change her ways now.

He smiled, extending his hand to me, and shaking his hand, he pulledin for a hug. | knew that he was more than happy being a grandfather. It was every Alpha’s pride and glory to know that he was to have his offspring having his own. And | knew that if we were ever to have a boy to carry our last name; my father was going to be flying of happiness.

Our daughter was to be his spoiled princess, but in every family, and especially in- packs like ours, and being a Capo; | knew what it was to have a son by my side. And it wasn’t only for now. This was going to be something that was going to be lasting for years to come.

You two have made us proud.” Dad said, looking at Aurora who mom smiled at. She had her hand on Aurora’s arm as she looked at her a if she was the one person that she could ever see. Aurora’s cheeks reddened, and knowing her, | knew that this was not something that she expected from my family.

If anything, | knew that she expected resentment, and | couldn't blher. She didn’t know how they were, but what she saw ofwas not all pleasant.

“I have to admit, | have not been this happy since Dimitri cinto this world. They always did say that the one thing more valuable than one’s son, is their own grandchild. And though | am yet to meet her, | am more than happy to know that she is born, and | know that | am going to be able to trust that both you and Dimitri are going to be the parents that she deserves, if not even more.” Mom said, and Aurora smiled.

Mom hugged my woman tightly, and | couldn't help but find myself regretting how I treated her until now. It was times like this, especially when | saw her growing heavier, when | saw her being tired and yet, not complaining, and when she woke up that night, that | couldn't help but regret every moment that | was harsh on her. She was an angel sent to me, and yet, | was more than a little determined to break her heart. And that was something that | didn’t like about myself.

The doorbell rang, and both Aurora and | looked at the door, knowing that it was her parents. The fact that they didn’t bother coming to see Aurora earlier did not si*p my mind. | knew that we had told them earlier than others. Mom and dad were the second people to know, but | wanted Aurora to inform her parents in case they wanted to come. To my surprise, her mother requested that her knowing did not spread around as she wasn’t around to cby and help. “Mom, dad, welcover.” Aurora said, smiling at them. She looked her mother in the eye, and the silent message that the woman sent toldthat she was. warning her daughter not to voice out anything that happened. She wouldn't want her figure to be scratched, it was something that | understood, but it hurt me. more to know that Aurora couldn’t do anything about it.

“Why didn’t you call us earlier, little one?” She asked, looking at her daughter. | had to admit, | tensed at the woman's question, knowing that she was only asking because she was in front of my parents. | didn’t know how things were between Aurora and her mother before, but if this was how she was being treated now, then I didn’t understand how | didn’t see her weakness before. “You had your first baby, you must have needed someone to help you. You know, at least teach you how to handle things.” “You know that | have handled the pack’s children before, mom.” Aurora said, looking at her mom, watching as her face dropped before she looked at me. “Plus, | had Dimitri by my side. Neither he nor Natalia leftfor a second. Dimitri even chose to ignore the rules and was by my side throughout my labor, and | know that it is something that this all the more special.” The woman looked atfor a second, studying my expression, and | wrapped my arm around my mate, pulling her to my chest as she looked at her mother. Both their eyes were fixed on one another for a second, and | couldn't help but find myself feel the tension that rose in the air around us.

“You know that my daughter didn’t want to concern us, but you could have called us, Alpha Dimitri. We would have helped her out, and you know, with everything that you have to deal with, being busy with my daughter must have taken a huge tow out of your time. | have to apologize for that.” Her mother said, taking the two of us off guard. Aurora tensed, and | tightened my arm around my woman, not wanting her to say something that will backfire on her.

The woman's eyes studied her daughter's expression, clearly challenging her to say something different. But | knew not to let her do so. It was something that was going to get her in trouble, more trouble than she could afford. And | didn’t want her to undergo something like that. Plus, there was also the fact that we had our guests coming over soon, and the last thing that we needed was for to be occurring tonight.

“You needn't worry, our little one is safe and healthy. Aurora has the experience. that she needed, and believe it or not, regardless of the number of maids and doctors that she had; she was the one taking care of everything for our child.” | said, and Aurora's eyes widened before she smiled. | leaned in and k*ssed her forehead, knowing that she needed skind of assurance that she wasn’t going to be alone in this.

To say the least, | could tell by her parents‘ expression that this was the last thing that they would have expectedto say. And | knew why.

Aurora’s mother knew of what happened on the night that | was with Charlotte. She knew very well that Aurora saw us, but she didn’t care. She didn’t try to stop anything, and she didn’t even bother approachingto warnagainst this.

She left her daughter to deal with everything on her own. And | didn’t know whether or not her father knew of this, but if he did; then they just proved tothat these people never, not for a second, dared care about Aurora. For whatever benefit they got, they were only making use of it. And that was something that | saw as cruel, even for people like them.

“How about we go and see Angelina? You know, since you are the first to arrive, | am guessing that it would be more peaceful for you to meet your granddaughter.” Aurora suggested, wanting to change the topic, sensing the shift of energy in the room. | looked at her for a second, and she shook her head at me, silently askingnot to dwell on the topic. It was one that she didn’t wantto talk about much, and | understood why; we wanted to pass the night with no problems.

| wasn’t going to stop Charlotte from coming only to start a problem with my mate’s parents, it was going to be wrong.

“Yes, what do you think?” | asked, supporting Aurora’s idea. “How about we go and. meet our little angel before we cback down as the guests arrive? Yeah?”
