Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 40

Dimitri:

“What happened that had her changing this much??” Ivan asked, and | shook my head.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“The elders are coming and | doubt that it is any change. She just needs to ensure that we are on the best notch of behavior, and she is acting upon that.” | said, answering his question. | knew that it might have had something to do with our conversation last night, and though | did not expect it to have such an impact, | was glad that it did.

The woman seems to grow me confident in a night’s span, and that was something that took me by surprise.

“| looked for Charlotte.” He said, making the frown. | shook my head in question, turning to face him before waiting for the explanation on why he would be doing something that | did not ask for. The idea of her being harmed was not something that | wanted, but | knew that she had what it took to manage herself. Plus, | knew that her father would not hesitate to take her back home. He has been waiting for such a moment since she came to my pack.

“And you did that, without me asking you to do so because of what?” | asked, shaking my head, waiting for his response. He knew that he wasn’t allowed to take actions like this one without consulting me, especially since it included something that | decided. Therefore, | was more than a little surprised to see that he chose to not only defy and go against me, but to do it in such a discrete manner was not something that | expected of him.

“Because, Dimitri, you might not say it, but she is your lover. And Aurora might be carrying your child, but you are playing your own self by thinking that you give a da mn about her. He said, and | scoffed.

“It does not concern you what | do and what | decide, Ivan, Charlotte was kicked out for physically abusing the woman that is carrying my child. Consort, wife, mate, whatever title that you want to give Aurora right now, she is carrying my baby and | think that you know our rules when it comes to such situations.” | said, glaring at the man who took a deep breath. “I made a decision to kick her out, and | had my reasons for that. Now, the next time that you think, just thought, to try and question. my reasons, then the two of us are going to end up having a bigger problem than you can handle, am | making myself

clear!”

“As your beta and best friend, | am required to tell you when you are making a mistake and it seems to me that you are forgetting that you did not want to be with Aurora to begin with. Now, you are defending her because she is carrying a baby that you would have rather...” | punched the man in the face before he could finish his sentence, and he frowned. “Is that how it is going to be, Dimitri?”

The fact that he knew that he was the only one who could speak to me like that was something that was both annoying and amusing. The two of us could literally go head on head on one another, and yet, he knew that wouldn't be harpaing him and | knew that he would be willing to die for me if | needed it. It was the one reason why the two of us considered one another as brothers.

| glared at the man and he landed a punch on my face, taking me off guard at the fact that he didn’t ever wait for me to respond. | growled, and went to punch him back only for the man to grab my hand midair, stopping me.

“The woman has been taken by her father, and | think that you f**king know that he is going to be sure that he not only sends her away, but that he gets what she learned in this pack from her. And as your lover, you know that Charlotte heard lot more than we would want her pr ick of a father to listen to. Therefore, | do suggest that you put that brain inside your head instead of acting on anger.” He said, pushing me back. “You have the elders coming in a bit and | doubt that it is the time for the two of us to be arguing right now. However, | will leave you to deal with your anger and your conscious as well as your brain.”

“You are going to get it when | am done with the elders, you know that, right?” | asked, and he scoffed, shaking his head.

“| will be waiting for you in the arena. Winner gets what he wants, and | think that you know that I am right about Charlotte being with her father a bad idea.” He said, and | took a deep breath. “But | will leave you to weigh your options. You know, you might have a different opinion, and | still am the beta that has to listen to his Alpha because | met you yesterday.”

“You are a f**king di ckhead.” | said, and he smirked. “Go and search for her, and manage to get her somewhere safe where her father can’t find her. But until my child is born, | do not want her around here.”

“She will be staying in the safe house. It would be away from the pack and under pack grounds as well. As for the baby being born and Charlotte not being here, knowing her, | doubt that things would be going that way. That is, of course, IF you choose to keep the hate between you going.” He said, and | shook my head at him. “Anyhow, | will go and do what | have to. But | suggest that you manage to cover the bruise that is on your face. You know, the last thing that we need is for the eld ers to be asking questions, or am | wrong, Alpha?”

“F**k you,” | muttered, and he smirked, knowing that he too had a bruise on his face.

“I'll keep you posted on what happened.” He said, and | took a deep breath, watching as he walked out before | walked back to my desk. My chest ached as | looked at the picture of Charlotte and |, and | couldn’t help but wonder how she was feeling or what she was doing right now. And knowing her, | knew that she would-be anything but happy, especially not with a man like her father. He was the last person that she would want to deal with, and that was something that | knew very well.

“You will be back home soon, my love. | am not going to leave you in the hands of that psychopath.”
