Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa ( Aurora Sforza )
Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa Chapter 78

Chapter 78 

Aurora: 

“You and Dimitri seem to be getting along quite well.” Mom said, seeming more. or less annoyed as she stated it. I knew that she didn’t want me being affectionately attached to the Alpha. In her mind, our mating was a mere agreement that she didn’t want us to get out of. She believed that if we became intimate and if feelings started getting involved, then we were going to end up ruining things. But that was not the case, in my opinion at least. 

The two of us were the last to leave the nursery, and entering the dressing room for mom to check her appearance in the mirror. And being my ‘mother, she claimed that wanted to give me advices that would ‘help‘ me in this stage. I wasn’t dumb, I knew from the second that she called me that she was going to say or do something that was going to either break or ruin the night. 

“Thankfully, yes.” I said, choosing to be blunt with my response. There was not point in me acting as if I was very much happy with her being around. I couldn’t help but find myself recalling how she had treated me on the ‘wedding‘ night, and the fact that we called her to come when I gave birth, at least, two weeks after it. I needed to make sure that I was okay enough to be able to stand. I didn’t want to scar her when she came, but I knew not to be surprised when I was shut off by her. 

She looked at me, studying my expression for a second before raising an amused. eyebrow. I knew that mom often came up with something that would ruin my nights when they were the most important to ME. She saw that I was happy with Dimitri, and that was the reason why she was going to be sure to ruin it. Had it been the other way around and had I been upset that I was going to be with him, I knew that she was gong to be the happiest mother who was going to give me advices of how to ‘fix‘ things between us. 

“You always were blunt in your responses when you were angry.” She said, pretending to know anything about me. “But you are forgetting that the person who stands in front of you is your mother. And no matter what I am going to tell you, you are going to at least owe it to me to respect the years that I took you in when you had no one. 

To say that I was surprised with what she just said was not going to be a lie. This being the last thing that I expected her to rub in my face tonight, I stood, baffled for a second, trying to find the right words to say as to respond to what she just told me. Mom, however, simply smiled, waiting for my response as her cold eyes met mine. And though I knew very well to stay quiet about the topic, the pain that I felt was one that I couldn’t help but hold my breath because of. 

“I am not being blunt with my responses, mother. You stated something that you saw, and I merely responded to it. You don’t need to worry about me, nor do you need to make a big deal about something that does not exist.” I said, taking a deep 

breath as I tried to contain myself. I clenched my fist once, a bad habit that I had whenever I wanted to clear my mind. Mom looked down at my hand, knowing that she managed to get on my nerves. Tonight was going to be about my daughter, and I knew that she wanted to ruin it for me. But the last thing that I wanted or needed was to allow that. No matter how much she wanted to break that in me, I knew not to allow it. 

“You speak as if I do not know my own daughter. Anyhow, I am not to dwell the topic as I initially wanted to speak to you about something. I believe that it is long past the time for it, but I had promised your father that I will only speak to you about it when you have given birth to your first child. And now that you have, I think that you should know. Mind you, I believe that you should have known a long time ago, but I made a promise, and now is the time for you to know.” I frowned in confusion at the fact that she was deciding to open an ‘important‘ topic right now. It was a rule that she had during public events, ALL topics that were important were to be spoken of when the event was over. She didn’t like it when she was tensed up, as in her mind, she was not the type to know how to control her anger if that were to occur. But when it was me, like now, I knew that putting a challenge like this was in order for her to be satisfied. 

“I think that it is time that you know who you are and where you came from.” She said, and I frowned. It was a taboo topic for me to talk about as I grew up; 

therefore, to see her opening it right now, I knew that this was something that she knew would break me. 

“Do you really believe that tonight of all nights, the night that should be about my daughter, and the night that the elders and my guests were arriving in a bit, is the right time to talk about a topic like this one?” I asked, shaking my head at her. “Are me? Or is it a vocation to make my life hell whenever you saw my smile? And believe me, it is something that I grew used to, but this is a subject that you taught me to ignore. Why now?” 

you determined to ruin everything that I see as important Dead at her. 

She looked at me as if I had grown a second head. But I was damn tired of being treated the way that I was by her. I was tired of her looking at me as if I was the lesser person, and not only that, but the person that she could take advantage of simply because she wanted to. And I could tell that she knew that. 

“I am to tell you who you are, and you are being angry about it?” She asked, shaking her head at me. 

“Are you not the one who always said to treat all problems after such events? Are you not the one who forbade me from even bringing up the topic as it was one. that broke your heart whenever you thought about it? f**ks sake, you once locked me up for a week for begging you to allow me at least search alone if you would not want to help me. Why are you choosing to tell me now?” I asked, shaking my head at my mother. 

“Your father and I always agreed to tell you when you had your home and when you had your first child that we were going to tell you. You would have settled in 

your place and you would know that you are no less than those that you live with, if anything…” 

“You just want to ruin my night.” I said, stopping her. She smiled, her smile cold and menacing, one that I knew all too well. “Who is it? Let me know and get all this bullshit over with, not that it would be making a difference to me as I will not go and look for him.” 

“You are not going to need to look for him. The man has been right in front of you all along.” She said, making me frown in confusion. “You just never connected the dots to know that he was not giving you this much attention out of nothing.” “What are you talking about?” I asked, voicing out my confusion. 

“Have you not noticed that one person in particular gave you more attention than he gave others?” She asked, raising an eyebrow at me. “Did you not see the way that he looked at you?” 

“Mother, who is the man? Enough with your riddles, I have guests to take care of and elders that are arriving.” I said, glaring at her. She scoffed and shook her head 

at me. 

“You have always been naïve, it is one of the reasons why we never confronted you about it.” She said, looking me dead in the eye. “It was one of the reasons why we always chose to keep his identity a secret from you. You would have been impulsive enough to act on emotions. And I doubt that it would have gone well for any of us. And as you may know, we have kept good relations with him, the last thing that we needed was for you to ruin them out of your anger.” “What are you talking about, mother?” I asked, shaking my head. Disgust filled my tone at her behavior, and I could tell that she saw it in my eyes and read it in my tone. “What would I have ruined for you with a man who threw me as if I were some kind of pest that he wanted to get rid of?” 

“You were a mistake to him, and hence you were hidden and thrown out.” She said, and I shook my head, looking away from her. “They would have killed you. and he would have lost his position as elder. Hence why the mistake had to go.” 

“What?” I asked, frowning in confusion. “Elders did not have children, what are you talking about?” 

“I think that you know very well which elder I am referring to.” She said, her eyes. meeting mine. “The Lord Alpha has always looked differently at you to the point. where I think that even your mate was surprised. You were just far too foolish…” 

“Elders know their rules, I doubt that a Lord would breaking them.” I said, looking at my mother and she laughed. I knew that she was mocking me, and my heart dropped to my stomach as so many flashbacks played in my head. How he spoke to me, elder Jordan and her distaste toward me, the elders who gave me a choice rather than forced me into something that would have embarrassed me.  sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mom went to open her mouth before the door was knocked, taking us off guard as I looked at it, knowing that it was Dimitri. The two of us were inside the 

dressing room, and I forced myself to put on the best smile that I could muster as I opened the door for him. If he came up, then I knew that we have stayed for a long while. 

“Is everything alright, malyshka? Our guests are arriving and you’ve been here for a long while?” He asked, and I nodded, smiling at him. My chest burned, but I knew not to show him anything. Not yet anyway, I didn’t even know how I was going to be dealing with this in the first place. 

“Yes, I just wanted to show mom the dressing room. You know, this is the first she’s been here, and she was curious about my dresses,” I said, lying to him. Dimitri studied my expression and I shook my head, silently begging him not to ask, and he nodded as he looked at mother. 

“Well, if you are done, how about we go down?” He asked, looking at mom, clearly understanding that something happened. “You know, our guests are waiting to see my Luna…?”
