Chapter 37
Dimitri:
I watched as Ivan walked out of the infirmary room, and I couldn’t help but raise a questioning eyebrow, curious about what he was doing there in the first place.
It’s been days since the incident between Aurora and Charlotte, and though her wounds were mostly healing, the doctors believed that it would be best for her to be staying in the infirmary until they were sure that she was okay.
“Anything wrong?” I asked, and he shook his head.
“No, but I needed to be sure that nothing was wrong.” He said, and I chuckled, knowing that it was something typical of his attitude. He has been roaming around the room for days, and though I never did bother asking about the reason, he always walked out with a frown on his face.
Today, though, I was aiming to go inside and speak to her myself. And that was something that I knew she would even be surprised about. But we were having the elders over soon, and the last thing that I needed was anyone suspecting anything about her being ill while carrying the baby.
“You have been doing so a lot for the past few days.” I teased and he shrugged.

“When you have a mate like her, you shouldn’t be expecting otherwise, should you?” He asked, and I chuckled. I knew that she wasn’t my mate and the last thing that I planned on caring about was being with her, but the baby was something that concerned me, and having my heir was a lot more important to me than whatever it was that she had in her mind.
I walked inside the room to find Aurora standing in front of the window, looking outside, not bothering to face me.
“The two of us are fine, Alpha Dimitri. You need not worry about me not eating, the baby not being well taken care of, or me being upset.” She said, not bothering to face me. I wrapped my hand around her arm, turning her to face me and she looked down at her feet, avoiding my gaze.
“You know, things would be a lot easier if you choose to stop being a child.” I said, and she took a deep breath.
“And I think that they would have been easier if Ldidn’t have to deal with this pregnancy to begin with. Maybe you and your lover wouldn’t be throwing this much hate on me, and I wouldn’t have to deal with a beta who comes in to threaten me whenever he sees me sitting in front on the windowsill, clearly worried that I would be harming myself or my child when I have to add that the room is on the first floor.” She said, and I shook my head, pinching my nose as I tried to mulle my laughter. I didn’t even know why I was laughing at this point, but I knew that her words came qut as more amusing to me than I could consider to describe, and her annoyed expression was another thing that I found more amusing
“I am going to be speaking to Ivan about pushing you out himself, maybe it would remind you to tone your attitude down…”
“My apologies, but after dealing with the number of things that I have been forced to deal with since I entered this house, I don’t expect you to think that I would be sipping tea, which I cannot drink right now, while everyone goes around stepping on my back.” She said, and I took a deep breath, taking a step toward her as I glared at her. Her eyes were fixed on mine for a second and I growled, making her frown. Her heart raced in response and my b*dy towered over hers as she looked up to look me in the eye.
“I am going to excuse today and claim that you are dealing with hormones and all the changes that you have been going through have been hectic on you. But one more word about any of my pack members, and I will be sure that you regret ever agreeing to be my mate.” I said, and she took a deep breath before her next words took me off guard.
And though deep down, I knew not to blame her for them, she was upset with everything that was going on, I didn’t expect her to admit it as loud.
“I already regret ever thinking of you as a mate.” She said, looking down at her feet before taking a step back. She turned to – look out the window, and I watched her, studying her b*dy language for a few seconds as she crossed her arms over her
chest.
“Why do you keep looking out the window like this?” I asked, shaking my head in question. I had to admit, I was curious
about her reasoning, but that wasn’t the reason why I asked. I heard that she almost lost the baby two days ago, and though the doctors managed to stop the miscarriage, I knew that things could have ended in a way that I wouldn’t have liked, and according to them, it was because she was in pain, and though she didn’t personally matter to me, knowing that my child was affected was something that I couldn’t accept
