Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa Chapter 21

Chapter 21

Aurora:

My heart raced against my ribcage as I saw the Alpha standing in front of

His eyes were wide with both anger and rage, and I couldn’t help but find myself feeling small because of it.

The fear that I had was one that I couldn’t explain, but I knew that he saw it in my expression. His expression told me that.

“What lies are you hiding under the f**king thing that you call my child?” He asked, making my chest ache. Was he thinking that I was lying about the baby being his? Is he being serious?

“The child is yours, Alpha. I am not hiding anything.”

“You are a bad liar and I think that you know that very well.” He said, making my heart race against my chest. I took a step back and shook my head as I tried processing his words. I was yet to even rest after the long. day and here I was, dealing with this.

“I am not lying.” I said, shaking my head and the man grabbed me by my arm. He clenched his fist around my arm, and I looked down at my feet, flinching when he hurt me.

“Prove it,” he said, glaring at me. My chest ached, and tears fell from my eyes as I winced in pain. The man’s eyes were dark, filled with anger, and I couldn’t help but find myself feeling small as I looked him in the eye.

“You’re hurting me.” I said, and he looked down at his hand. He stilled for a second before loosening his bruising grip, and letting go. My chest ached, and I watched as he took a step back before walking out of the

room.

A cry of fear escaped my l*ps the second that he closed the door, and I sat on the ground, trying to recompose myself. My hands shook, and I couldn’t help but find myself wrapping my arms around my b*dy, wanting to conceal myself from this world that I was in.

My wolf, who was clearly in pain because of all this, was quieter than she normally would be and I knew that it was due to the pain that she felt like me. It was the type of pain that I wouldn’t be wishing for my enemy, and yet, here I was, dealing with it by myself.

The bedroom door was knocked twice, and I knew that it was the maids.

wanting to come and tend to their duties here. But tonight, I just wanted to be left alone. The last thing that I wanted was to see or speak to

anyone, and I knew that there was a small chance that they would end up trying to comfort me.

It wasn’t something that I wanted or needed.

I was alone and no words that they were going to tell me were going to change that. It was going to be something that I was going to have to deal with. At least, until I gave birth to my baby. When my baby was born, things would be changing, and I was hoping that they would change for the better.

“Ms. Aurora…”

“Please leave me alone tonight,” I said, stopping Mariana. I knew that this might end up giving them a hard time with Ivan, but I had to have a few hours for myself, and I knew that the beta was going to understand. “I need to be alone tonight.”

“Ms. Aurora…”

“If anyone asks you, it was me who chose to send you off.” I said, stopping her. I didn’t want her asking too many questions, and I surely did not want to end up dealing with more than I could afford. I was in both pain, and I was scared. These were two emotions that I hated to deal with, and yet, here I was, being forced to handle something that I despised.

“We will be waiting outside if you need anything, Ms. Aurora.” Mariana said, and I looked down at my lap. “It would be for the best even if you don’t want us staying inside the bedroom in case of an emergency.”

I nodded despite knowing that they couldn’t see me before laying on the ground. I curled up as my tears fell from my eyes, and I couldn’t help but find myself clenching my fist as I wrapped my hand around my arm which the Alpha had his hand wrapped around.

The way that he looked at me sickened me and I couldn’t help but find myself feeling weak. I was sure that the night went smoothly, and this was the first thing that I got the second that the guests were out of the house.

“You should have just told the Lord Alpha about what you were going through,” I muttered to myself, wiping the tears that fell from my eye as I sniffed. The cold floor under me cooled my boiling b*dy slightly, and though I couldn’t help the tears that fell from my eyes, I knew that at

least, I wasn’t dealing with a fever that I didn’t need on my first month being pregnant.

I put my hand on my stomach before getting up from the ground. My heart throbbed, and I walked to the bathroom, ignoring the pain that I felt as my dignity and pride felt like they were being stripped away from

One part was the man that I was with, and the second was my parents. who showed no care to the fact that they had a daughter, even if I was adopted, they did raise me, who was not only scared but was also suffering more than she could describe.

I took a deep breath and put my hand on my stomach, fisting my hand as I caught sight of my reflection in the mirror.

“I promise you, baby, I am not going to let you suffer like I am.” I whispered. “I give you my word to always protect you.”

I sniffed and wiped my tears with the back of my hand.

“I promise you that mama will always keep you safe…”
