Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 80

Aurora:

“Something is bothering you.” Natalia stated, looking me in the eye. I took a deep breath and looked down at the drinks that were supposed to serve to the elders, and the fact that I was going to have to be serving the Lord Alpha too wasn’t. something that sl*pped my mind either.

“I am fine.” I said choosing to keep things to myself for now. The fact that I didn’t even know how I was going to be speaking to my mate about this bothered me. And it didn’t take a genius to know that this was why mom told me about this right now.

She knew very well what she was doing, and that alone made the whole situation a lot worse for me. To say the least, I would have hoped, just for a minute, that she wouldn’t ruin such a night for me, but here I was, wrong again with what I believed.

“You can lie to me all you want, but you know for fact that I am not going to fall for it. And if I am letting it slide, it is because we have a lot to deal with right now, and I know that you are already under the pressure of the elders being here. However, I do believe that Dimitri would want an explanation as to why you look like you just saw a ghost.” She said, putting on the best smile that she could muster as she looked at the elders walking inside with Dimitri. His eyes met mine and I could see their questioning in them before he turned to look at the elders. “You need to smile, Aurora. You are going to attract more attention, negative attention, to yourself if you don’t.”

The Lord Alpha kept his eyes on me, studying my expression, or at least, trying to read it. But I looked away from him as I turned to Natalia, pretending to be busy with a conversation that I was having with her. Thankfully, she played along the same game as Dimitri approached us.

Dimitri’s eyes met mine and he shook his head at me, watching as I served the elders their drinks alongside Natalia. One maid approached us, and I smiled, handing her the tray before my mate wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me away from the crowd as everyone busied themselves.

Natalia walked toward Ivan, and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw her pecking his l*ps. At least it was a distraction from everything that I was thinking.

My eyes caught sight of the elders as they approached us, and Dimitri cupped my cheeks, making me hold eye contact before he k*ssed my forehead. “And if you are afraid that I am going to be leaving you, then trust me, with my life, I swear to you that I won’t. And it is has nothing to do with the mating or promise, but I came to learn that finding a pure hearted person in

as he did. But I had to admit, after everything that we’ve been through, the last thing that I would have ever expected was for me to find peace in the arms of the one man that I thought would

I am sure that most of them would be wondering where my beautiful Luna was, and judging by the elders who were looking our way, I know that even they are curious. Plus, we still have to bring in our little angel,” he said, and I smiled and nodded. The man had his way with words, and I knew that he was doing it to ensure that he boosted me up. when he saw me weakening a bit. And I was more than thankful for it. At least, the man made me feel like I wasn’t alone. He made me feel like he was by my side.
