Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 48

Dimitri:

I cursed under my breath when I realized that my words were not only harsh, but
also uncalled for.

I pinched the bridge of my nose as Ivan’s eyes met mine, and he shook his head
in question, clearly confused of the state that I was currently in

“What happened?” He asked, and I shook my head, taking a deep breath.

“The elders called you to inform you that we were invited to the Lord Alpha?” I
asked, and he frowned in confusion.

“Yes, it always happens. You know that his beta wouldn't be calling you no matter
the fact that they were of higher rank, we still followed certain rules that
prevented that.” He said, and I shook my head. The anger that I had of Charlotte
being here and speaking to me the way that she did earlier and now my
argument with Aurora; I couldn't help but find myself feeling like a lot was just
being thrown to waste, and that was something that I didn't like. “Did anything
happen?”

I shook my head. It wasn't a topic that he should be bothering himself with,
especially since it still concerned only Aurora and I, but I couldn't help but find
myself wondering where things were currently leading us, especially when I knew
that they were more messed now. But I knew one thing I had to settle things with
Aurora before Charlotte appeared in the picture, if that happened, then we were
in more trouble than I would want to handle..

“Where were you anyway?” I asked, shaking my head. The man came back
inside from the front door, and that was how I knew that he was out. Plus, there
was the fact that he was in the house earlier. He nodded at the door and I
frowned at the sight of his mate. Her eyes met mine for a second before she
looked down at her feet.

“You two...?"

“Yes, but I came to know something that I think that you would find interesting
about the little human.” He said, and she took a deep breath before looking down
at her feet. “It seems to me that she has been hiding her real identity through all
this time

“I did not hide anything,” she said, and I raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
“As for my name, a person can choose to hide what it is when it comes to a
person that they do not know...”

“Interesting concept.” I said, raising an eyebrow at her. “And that name is?”
“Natalia Del Gardi.” She said, and I nodded. The woman was one of the Capo’s
daughter, thankfully, an alley.

“Daughter of Armando Del Gardi,” I said, and she nodded. “Does he know of your
whereabouts?”

“He would kill me if he finds out that I chose to run away with a mate. But I doubt
that he would be having a problem if you chose to speak to him.” She said, and I
scoffed. I looked at Ivan whose eyes hardened as he looked at her, and I couldn't
help but notice that he was more than a little annoyed with what was going on.
“That would depend on whether or not your mate actually wants to be with you,
human. Mind you, lying to him when you are human is not a good factor when it
comes to a wolf who wants nothing to do with your kind.” I said, and she raised
an eyebrow before she looked at Ivan. I could hear her heart racing but I knew
that she was doing herself to control her expression ayshe found herself stuck
between fire and stone. “If he wishes to be with a person like yourself, then I am
to arrange a meeting and we can talk about the terms that would have your
father accept you as his mate. I have to add the fact that your father might
require a wedding, that is not something that we have in our ways.”

“I can speak him out of it”

“You will not do anything that I do not approve of As for a wedding, if he requests
it, then you are to be granted one. It would be an arranged marriage and you are
going to be playing along the act until the end of it. You can play the game of -
lover, if your mate would actually consider you as one, after everything has been
done.” I said, keeping my eyes on her and

she took a deep breath before she looked at Ivan. My beta nodded in thanks and
I nodded back before turning to the stairs. 1 had to go check on Aurora, and I had
to admit, I wanted to apologize to her.

The quietness of the state that she was now in was somewhat concerning,
especially after the hurricane that the two of us just had, but I knew better than to
ask anymore questions than necessary. The woman had her own ways when
tending to things, and I had mine.

I walked toward her bedroom, frowning when I didn’t hear any movement inside.
Her heartbeat was the one thing that confirmed that she was inside, but other
than that, it was just quiet. I knocked on the door twice, but no response came.
And considering the fact that I never knocked on her door, I expected at least a
small reaction, but I was surprised when I got

none.

My heart raced, and my hands turned cold as I looked at the door for a second
too long before the smell of blood filled my nostrils, making my heart drop.
“Aurora, open the f**king door.” I said, trying to open the door only to be
surprised when I found that it was locked. A low growl rumbled from my chest,
echoing throughout the pack’s walls before I could stop myself, but the woman
wouldn't

react.

“Dimitri, what the hell..?” I broke the door before Ivan could complete his
sentence, and the sight of Aurora laying in a pool of her blood made my heart
drop as I saw what was going on.

“Ivan, call the doctor.” I said, rushing toward the woman whose heart raced
despite her closed eyes. “NOW!”
