Chapter 34
Dimitri:
“You know, Lotte, you are playing a very, very dangerous game.” | said, looking at the woman as she walked down the stairs. The pride that | saw in her eyes was one that | expected, but then again, the fact that knew how it came, | couldn’t help but find myself growing a little concerned with everything that was to come.
“Considering the fact that you heard me, are calling me Lotte, and didn’t come to stop have to be tooThis text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
me, | know that | do worried.” She said, making me frown as | walked toward her. | put my finger under her chin, forcing her to look me in the eye. “All is fair in love and war, Dimitri. And | am defending what is mine. She simply stole you and is trying to prove to herself then the world that she is innocent. Guess what? She can find another person to play this game on because it is not working on me.”
“You know, you are going to end up throwing everyone in hell due to how greedy you are being, and | have to tell you, you are not going to like the results that follow.” | said, and she smiled, shaking her head at me as she did. The pride that | felt in what she was doing was something that | wasn’t going to deny. | had to admit, it was something that | didn’t expect from her, but seeing what she was willing to do for me, | couldn’t help but find my eyes softening for her
“| told you, Dimitri. All is fair in love and in war.” She said, and | took a deep breath. “I wasn’t the one who started this war, but | am going to be the one to end it.”
“And are you sure that you are going to be doing the right thing with the way that you are ending it? You know, you tend to play difficult games that you don’t know the consequences of, and that is something that you, baby girl, will end up hurting yourself with.” | said, and she smiled.
She stood on her toes and k*ssed my cheek before looking me in the eye.
“| would be more than willing to fight the battle if | know that | am going to be winning your heart with what | am doing She said, whispering her words. | shook my head at the woman, watching as she took a step back to leave to the kitchen! before shaking my head. | was more than a little curious right now on whether or not Aurora would be coming down to the dining room this evening, it was only going to show how far she was willing to take things concerning our “relationship
However, what concerned me even more was the fact that she now knew that not only did | want to be with Charlotte but the fact that she was aware that | aimed on taking the child from her. That was going to be a setback that | didn’t need, but considering the fact that | knew my lover, | knew that | shouldn’t have expected her to be quiet about something like this. If anything, | should have expected her to be more than willing to play her game until the end.
| just had to find out what end she was aiming to take this right now. Because | knew that it wasn’t going to be one that |
liked.
“Ah, my beloved Charlotte...” | muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose as | did. “What am | going to do to you?”
| raised an eyebrow as | heard Aurora’s bedroom door open.
She hasn’t been saying a word since the situation with Charlotte happened, and though | expected to at least hear screaming or crying, it was like the woman was on mute, literally. No sound came out of her, and nothing was said from the maids, And that was something that would have concerned me had | not been able to hear her heartbeat.
She looked at me for a second before taking a deep breath and nodding
“Alpha, you called for me?” She asked, and | crossed my arms over my chest.
“No, | asked you to join me for lunch,” she nodded, looking down at my feet, and | stayed quiet, ignoring the fact that | could tell that her eyes were bloodshot red from crying. She was crying in silence, and that was something that | knew was very bad for the baby.
“| would like to please excuse myself to the bedroom for the evening. | am not feeling too well, but | did not find it in me to reject your kind offer to invite me for the meal by ignoring it.” She said, and | raised an eyebrow. | knew to expect that
considering what | heard earlier, but | had to admit, the last thing that | expected was for her to speak as formally as she did.
“Is everything alright, Aurora?” | asked, testing her waters. She looked me in the eye, studying my expression for a second before she nodded.
“Yes, | am just tired. My morning has been long and | need to rest a bit.” She said, and | nodded. She took a step back and walked toward the stairs without saying a word; however, my chest ached as a heavy feeling settled in my chest and | couldn’t help but frown when | saw Aurora’s b*dy swaying as she began to lose balance.
| ran toward her and was quick to wrap my arms around her, lifting her in them. Her heartbeat was slowing down and | could tell that she was having a hypotension, and though it was often normal for a pregnant woman, | knew that had she fallen and hit her head that things were not going to be ending well.
“You really are a handful, Aurora.” | muttered, walking toward the infirmary room, The nurses who were inside frowned in confusion and | nodded at them to check on her. Her chest was rising and falling with each breath that she took and the pack doctor who was checking her pulse frowned in confusion before looking at the foundantion that was on her fingers.
She brought a cotton bud as the two nurses went to check on her pressure while she proceeded to wipe the makeup, making my eyes widen at the sight of the cuts and bruises that she had on her face and neck.
“Alpha...”
“Tend to them, now.” | said, walking out of the infirmary, | knew that Charlotte was going to cross more limits that the mind could accept, but the last thing that | expected was to see what | just did. And the fact that she not only did it so causally, but that she was able to look me in the eye as she walked down the stairs, not caring about what she had done, now that was one thing that | couldn’t accept.
| barged into the bedroom where she was staying and she raised an eyebrow as a small smile played on her |*p when she saw me inside her room. Each maid had two roommates, but she knew that she had the small advantage of having her own room. | didn’t want her sharing her bedroom with anyone, and that was something that she knew very well. It was something that she took advantage of, but that wasn’t how things were going to be right now.
-“You know that she is carrying my child and yet, you chose to physically hurt her.” | said, glaring at her and she raised an eyebrow.
“| already told you..”
“You know our rules, and not only are you playing a dangerous game with crossing them, but you are finding yourself the excuses to try and cover for it.” | said, stopping her. Her heart raced and she shook her head at me as her amusement could be seen in her eyes.
“| told you, Dimitri. All is fair in love and in war.” She said, taking a step toward me. “And for you, | will do what it takes to ensure that no one takes my place. Therefore, yes, you can kill me for it if you want. Because that is going to be the ONLY thing that stops me from making sure that she not only regrets ever agreeing to be with you, but to also ensure that she is the one who chooses to leave. That is my one promise to you, my love...”
