Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 62
Aurora:
I had to admit, I couldn't help the clench that I felt in my chest as I knew that
Elder Jordan was referring to me as a weak
Luna.
And while she was right, in a way, at least, I hated that I found myself comparing
who I was, a bastard wolf, with a human.
I wrapped my arm around myself as I looked at one of the trees, admiring the
breeze as it hit my face, and though in pain, I couldn't help the small smile that
formed on my I*ps.
I
put my hand on my stomach, rubbing it gently before turning around just as I
heard the Lord Alpha approach me. The was another story that I did not
understand, and though I knew not to question him, I couldn't help but find myself
being curious.
“I believe that Jordan's words hurt you more than you are willing to let out.” He
stated, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding his eyes. “You need not avoid my
eyes, Aurora. I know that it hurts to think less of yourself when you are in tough
situations.”
“I am not thinking less of myself, nor am I the type to do so, Lord Alpha. I am just
a little tired, I believe.” I said, and he smiled, shaking his head at me. His eyes
met mine as he took a step forward toward me, and I couldn't help but find myself
gulping for a second before taking a deep breath to mask my expression.
“You are a strong woman, a woman that every man would want as a mate.” He
said, and I had to force myself to look away from him as I tried my best not to say
“every man except for the one that I am with. I knew that Dimitri would want
nothing more than to get rid of me, the idea of the two of us sleeping together
was not one that would be changing anything anyway. Had I not agreed to it, I
knew that it wouldn't be happening after I have given birth, and I knew that it was
only a matter of time before something happened that brought her back here. I
just didn’t know when it was to happen.
“Sometimes your words hit deeper than anyone else’s would, Lord Alpha.” I said,
and he raised an eyebrow at me. I didn’t know how to explain them, but it was
true. His words were like daggers that hit my chest, and it wasn't because he was
aiming to hurt me, it was the contrary actually. “But you needn’t worry, I am fine
and Elder Jordan's words toward Natalia, a friend of mine, did not hurt me.”
“But you still chose to dismiss yourself. You grew uncomfortable, and your eyes
avoided everyone's as you...”
“I am not to question what an elder says, Lord Alpha. And as I said, Natalia is my
friend, and for her to be praised, I am more than thankful for that.” I said,
stopping him. He frowned in confusion, and I took a deep breath, knowing that I
had crossed a small limit that I shouldn't have. To my surprise, the man simply
nodded in response before nodding a the tree that I was standing in front of.
“You used to stand here a lot as a child. When your parents would come over
and you would be playing in the garden, whenever we had lost you, I always
knew that we would be finding you here. I am curious to know the reason behind
that though.” He asked, and I smiled, shaking my head. It was a faint memory of
something that I saw as a child. A carving that I never did understand, but it
always told me that it was of something strong. I walked toward it and the Lord
Alpha followed close behind as I put my hand on the carving that was on the tree.
It was in a higher spot, I had to admit that much, and was a lot older now, but it
was still there.
“I found this carving of two wolves, one bigger than the other, and a pup playing
in front of them. I often wondered what the story was behind it, and as a kid, I
always imagined scenes between the pup and its parents. At the time, I didn’t
know that I was an orphan, but when I did find out, and when we came here for
the first time, I saw myself in that pup.” I said, and he frowned for a second
before nodding as a small smile played on his I*ps. “I would speak to them, and I
know that I might sound very odd, but at least I knew that nature was listening to
me. I enjoyed that much when it happened.”
“Why I came here today? I don’t really know. I believe that sometimes, something
that brings back memories of the past, memories that you loved, smiles,
something like that was enough for me to hold onto at least.” I said, and he
nodded before I turned to face him. “And one day I do hope to meet the lovers
that carved this into the tree. It would be good for them to know that their love
survived, even if it is only on carving, it symbolized it, and it only means that it
did.”
“What if it didn’t?” He asked, shaking his head in question. I shook my head, not
wanting to believe that something that
seemed so intimate didn’t. “How can you be so sure that it did?”

Love as a pure as the one that I felt
in the carving is one that would
always survive. The little pup was the
symbol of their love, and the carving
was proof that it happened here.
Maybe years before even you were in
the house, but no snow, rain, fall, or
summer air ruined it. And that can

only mean that it survived.” I said,

smiling at the carving. “Whoever their
child is, I do hope that he or she is
happy. At least they would know that

they weren't an act of

arrangement. It was one of love.” The

I take it by this that you are not

happy with Dimitri?" He asked, and I
took a deep breath before turning to
face him, reminding myself of my
limits in front of the Lord Alpha. He
waited for my response, and I smiled.

On the contrary,” I said, looking back
at Dimitri who was standing beside
Ivan as he, Natalia, and the elder

spoke. “He is giving me a peace of
