Chapter 81

Dimitri:

“Do you want to tell me what happened?” I asked, entering the bedroom, following Aurora who just put Angelina to sleep.

The guests left an hour ago, and now, the two of us finally had our moments of peace to stay together. It was something that I was thankful for, and considering that we were going to get some rest as well, Angelina had two maids tending to her in case she woke up at night.

“Mom told me something to bother me tonight. I know that she did it to ruin the night for me, but I am thankful that you were there by my side. To say the least, you helped pass it for me.” I smiled at her words before walking toward her. I put my hands on her shoulders as her back was to me, gently massaging them before wrapping my arms around her.

“Do you want to tell me what it was about?” I asked, making sure that my voice was gentle as I spoke. I knew that she was yet to trust me completely, and I had to admit, I couldn’t blame her for it. Had I been in her place and situation, I knew that even looking at the person who hurt me as much as I hurt her was going to be hard. “You don’t need to be afraid. I promised you that I was going to listen and support you no matter what it was, and I will stick to my word. Just tell me what happened for me to be able to help out, malyshka.”

She didn’t speak for a few seconds, and I could tell that she was debating on whether or not to tell me, and even if she did decide to want to tell me; I knew that she was trying to find the right way to it. But I had to admit, I couldn’t help but find myself being upset that her mother chose an important night like this one to tell her something to hurt her.

Her heart raced against her chest, and for the first time since I met her, I saw her scared, genuinely scared, and it wasn’t because of us being mates, it was because of something that was bigger than that. The pain that I saw in her eyes was one that I didn’t like either, and I couldn’t help but frown in confusion as I tried to understand what
