Chapter 79

Dimitri

I frowned when I saw Aurora’s face void of emotions as her earlier excitement seemed to completely fade away.

She wouldn’t even look at me as the two of us walked down the stairs, and I could tell that whatever happened, it happened with her mother; however, no matter how many times I tried asking, she wouldn’t answer. My mate just decided to enter a dark hole of thoughts, and the thing was, I didn’t even know what was bothering her.

“Aurora, I know that I have been asking for a while, but come on, I know you. enough to know that something is bothering you.” I said, looking at her. She looked at me for a second, and she shook her head at me as she gave me a fake smile. “Did she say something that bothered you?”

She looked at her mother for a second, and I could swear that she wanted to answer before she looked at the door as the elders‘ scent hit our nostrils. They were the last guests to arrive for the night, and I knew that it was something in their ‘traditions‘ and ways.

He was the first to always walk inside a place anyway, and that was something that proved his dominance against even the other elders.

Elder Jordan followed close behind before the others walked inside.

I shook the Lord Alpha’s hand, and I couldn’t help but frown when I noticed that my mate wasn’t by my side. Normally, especially with the way that he treated her, she would be more than happy to see him.

I looked at her and shook my head in question as the Lord Alpha studied her expression. She smiled and took a step forward, extending her hand to the elders to shake theirs after I did. And though I was quiet, I couldn’t help but notice how even elder Jordan that noticed something was wrong.
