Chapter 68

Aurora:

I woke up to the sound of beeping beside me.

The light was too bright for me to open my eyes, and I frowned, closing them before taking sight of Dimitri, who was sitting by my side, looking at me.

His eyes met mine, and I watched as he dimmed the light in the room before he put his finger under my chin. I closed my eyes, and he smiled at me. I looked at the man for a second, and he nodded in assurance at me.

“The baby?” I asked, my eyes widening and he smiled, nodding at a crib that was beside me.

“She is fine and healthy,” he said, his eyes softening before he k*ssed my forehead

“She?” I asked, and he nodded.

-You gave the pack a beautiful, healthy little girl.” He said, making my heart race. His eyes met mine and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my l*ps despite the fatigue that I felt. My stomach churned, and he looked at the crib before getting up and lifting the baby. He looked down at her, and I couldn’t help the small smile that formed on my l*ps as he handed her to me. My eyes widened at her beauty, and I looked down at my little one who was asleep, wrapped up in a pink bundle

blanket.

She yawned, and I couldn’t help the cry that escaped my l*ps at her beauty. And it was at that moment that I felt like my world was whole. My ch*st swelled, and I looked at Dimitri who looked at me, his smile bright as he watched me staring at our daughter.

I had to admit, I never did expect that I would be this happy to have my child in my arms, but f**king hell was I more than a little pleased at her sight. The feeling of having her was one that I never did expect, and the idea of holding her in my arms after so long and after everything that I went through was one that I wouldn’t have imagined.

“What happened?” I asked, and he looked up at me for a second before looking down at our daughter. “I remember feeling pain, and I remember screaming, but then, it just went blank after I gave birth…”

“We nearly lost you, Aurora.” He said, stopping me. I frowned in confusion at his choice of words, and he looked down at my lap. My heart raced, and he took a deep breath, not saying a word for a few seconds and he took a deep breath. “The pack. doctor saved you the last minute, but you lost too much blood, and you almost your life.”

“I heard you and Natalia talking before my labor. I know that it was the reason why you were scared and why you chose to stick by my side throughout the whole..”

“I didn’t need to risk losing you, Aurora.” He said, stopping me. “But I have to admit, I came to realize that when I saw you bleeding. I realized that I couldn’t really picture my life without you in the house anymore. And as odd as it may sound, I know that I wouldn’t be able to raise our little one without you being around. She needs you and I know that very well,

and ”

“You initially wanted to give her to Charlotte.” I said, stopping him. He took a deep breath and nodded, at least, neither denying it or acting as if I sinned for saying it. The man knew that I didn’t want to hurt him, but the two of us had to discuss the facts that we both knew to be true..

“I know that this was not what you

expected me to say right now, but the two of us have…”

“I can’t blame you for your anger toward me, Aurora.” He said, stopping me, My stomach churned, and I took a deep breath, and he ran his finger over my thigh. “But what I don’t want you to forget, is the fact that I did not intend for things to reach the point that they did. Yes, I didn’t want you in my life when we first met one another, and I won’t lie to you about the fact that I wanted nothing more than to get rid of you, and you getting pregnant was not something that I liked. If anything. I dreaded and hated it more than anything in the world.”

“Dimitri…”

“I came to realize a little too late that Lalmost lost same thin

sorry for the pain that 1 have caused you, Aurora” He said, stopping me. I looked down at our daughs, and he ran las linger over her small ones. watching as she wrapped them around it. My heart swelled, and Fouldn’t help the small smile that formed on my l*ps as he

did so

“You don’t need to apologize for something that the new of us wouldn’t have been able to change it we

I

“I do, he said, stopping me. “Why do I need to do so? Hecmise I know that every girl deserved to live her peace and happiness in a relationship that she chose to be committed to know that you deserved to replace the peace that you wanted; and rather than giving it to you, I broke something in you and I had no right to do so And while I understand that you might say that you accepted it, you didn’t have to, not for me, and not for anyone, Aurora

“The two of us knew that we were in this as an arranged mating. Di And while it did hurt me that you had someone in your life, especially considering that I thought that she was my friend roaddn’t blame you for not wanting to be with me if you wanted to be with another wontan” I said, looking away from him. He put his finger under my chin, and I looked him in the eye before shaking my head. The thung was, I didn’t want things to be the way that they were because of what happened. “I don’t want to be with you, Dimitri. Entean, romantically, because you are trying to forget Charlotte”

“What?” He asked, and I took a deep breath.

“I don’t want you to feel that you are forced because of what you save or maybe even how you felt at that moment.” I said, and he chewed the inside of his mouth, shaking his head at me. “Please don’t get ine the wrong way, you have no idea how happy I am to hear the words coming from you. And you don’t know how much it means to me that you might want to fix things or that you are unplying it. But I don’t want you to do it while you feel forced because you feared me dying.”

I

“What if my fear was the reason behind me realizing that I didn’t want to lose you?” He asked, and I smiled.

Then that would depend Were you afraid of not losing me because you didn’t want to lose me, or was it because of the fact that you were worried about what the elders, and families would say concerning the family’s position in strength?” I asked. and the man took a deep breath. Please think of the answer before giving it, because I know for fact that I meant nothing to you for nine months, and the three that we were engaged in, which means a year. I doubt that ONE situation made you change your mind for me, especially when it was going to set you free, meaning, giving you what you always wanted.”

“Aurora”

“Please, Alpha,” I said, stopping him as I looked down at my lap. “Please do try to understand me.

He got up without giving me a chance to continue as he walked out of the room. My ch*st ached, and I looked down at my little one for a second before taking a deep breath, “But I don’t want you to pity me. I want you to WANT me because you want to be with me. But it seems that you wouldn’t that right now, would you…?
