Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 23

Aurora:

“I don’t need anything, Ivan.” I said, opening the door when I caught Ivan’s scent by it.

The fact that he had it in him to come and check on me was something that I was thankful for. Hell, I did wish at times that it was Dimitri who came, but I knew better than to hope on false dreams that would never occur. At least I knew that the beta might have been genuine toward me, to some extend, with what he was doing.

The maids were all outside as I refused to see anyone, and the fact that the beta was here himself told me that he did not plan on taking no for an answer. But right now, I just needed to be left alone and that was something that he didn’t seem to understand.

“I did not come to ask whether or not you needed anything. I came here. to ask why there are four maids, who were assigned to ensure that everything that you had was tended to, are outside the bedroom door the way that they are?” He asked, and I opened the door wider for him to come inside the room. He frowned at the sight of the blanket that was on the floor where I was curled up in front of my bed.

He closed the bedroom door, and I took a deep breath before sitting on the floor, fighting off the anger that I felt and my aching chest. They were literally blaming me for being upset that the man that I was supposed to be with, the man who was supposed to be my mate, and the man that I was supposed to try and be with was the same man who was cheating on me, and not only that, he
