Chapter 110 Aurora:
“How are you, mama?” | asked, choosing to be polite. | knew better than to argue with her. right now, and I knew that showing the elder the fact that something was wrong, regardless of how small it might be, was something that | shouldn’t be doing.
“lam well, and the two of you?” Mother responded, looking me in the eye. | had to admit, a small part of me regretted calling her mother to begin with, but | knew that she was still the person who raised me, and what she did for me was something that | wasn’t going to deny regardless of how things came out to be.
“We are both well,” Dimitri chose to be the one to respond, reminding her not to cross a limit that he wasn’t going to like. | knew that what he heard on a special day like the one that we were supposed to have was something that annoyed him. But | knew that we weren't going to be able to change what actually happened nor were we going to be able to go back in time to stop her from hurting me the way that she did. We were forced to accept things the way that they were.
“How is your little one doing?” She asked, looking at me, hoping that | would respond. But | wasn’t going to, my words were going to be a bare minimum to her right now. And that was something that was going to be the fact until the end of time. She wanted it to be this way, and I knew that | would have done everything to stop that from being the fact, but | also knew that she had hurt me enough for that to happen.
“She is okay.” He said, and she frowned before nodding, realizing that | didn’t aim to respond. Her eyes studied my expression, and the Elder Alpha, seeming to notice the tight air around us, cleared her throat.
“How about we start with the first reception?” She asked, looking at me. “Would you like to start by drinking something? Orange or strawberry juice?”
“| would like orange juice,” mom said, nodding at the elder Alpha. Even the woman was taken back by the fact that she chose to respond before the Alpha. It wasn’t like she didn’t know how things went and it wasn’t like she was a new wolf who heard of the rules for the first time. The fact that she was choosing to be the first to respond was both disrespectful to Dimitri and me, and | knew that the Elder noticed.

“Aglass of water for me would be good,” Dimitri said, and the elder frowned in confusion. “We won't be staying for long.” “| see,” the elder said, looking at me.
“A glass of water for me as well,” | said, looking at my mother. Mom looked at me for a second too long before turning her attention to Dimitri whose eyes were fixed on her, clearly both judgmental and annoyed.
“lam guessing that you two are ready for the wedding tomorrow.” Mom stated, looking at me. “It has been a while since a wolf married a human. It should be interesting to witness both families uniting. Though, | must admit, | was surprised when | saw that neither your father or myself were invited.”
“It is Natalia’s wedding. She is the one who chose who to and who not to invite.” | said, looking at her. She raised an amused eyebrow, and shook her head.
“Surely you could have had an influence. You being your pack’s Luna could have invited your own mother.” She said, and | scoffed.
“You aren’t my mother though, are you?” | asked, making her eyes widen in surprise. Dimitri’s breath got caught in his throat, and | got up from the couch. “I need to get some fresh air. If you can excuse me, Elder Jordan?”
She nodded, reading the tension in my expression. | walked out of the house without saying a word, and | knew not to even bother waiting for any of them to follow me. | just wanted to be out of here, and | knew that they could all see it. Thankfully, Dimitri didn’t choose to follow me, knowing to give me my space considering that | needed it.
“lam going to go and...” and
“You are not going to approach her,” | heard Dimitri say, stopping mother. She stayed quiet, and | knew that even the Elder Alpha seemed to have a hand in stopping mom from approaching us. Knowing her, she wouldn’t have stopped until she had her way, allowing her to have her way was not going to be ending in a way that | was going to like. That was something that | was more than a little sure of.
“So, how are things going in your pack, Dimitri? | trust that both you and Aurora have been getting along well?” 2/4

Dimitri kept his arm wrapped around my waist throughout the rest of the night, knowing not to give mom the chance of approaching or speaking to me.
Knowing her, | knew that she wasn’t going to let this topic slide, and as much as | wanted it to end; | didn’t want to find myself dealing with the bullshit that she was going to throw at me right now. However, her eyes which were fixed on me were filled with more hate than | ever bothered to notice before.
“Do you not plan on giving Angelina a brother or a sister?” The elder Alpha asked, taking both Dimitri and | off guard. | had to admit, this was the last question that | expected her to ask considering the fact that we just had our first baby a few months ago. She wasn’t even sitting and the woman was already curious about us having another child.
“Of course, but Aurora is still going to need to take a break with everything going on.” Dimitri said, and the elder shook her head in question, trying to understand what he was referring to. And while | understood that he was talking about the fact that it took me a while to recover after | gave birth to Angelina, | knew that it was a little detail that we both. agreed to keep for ourselves.
“Is everything alright?” The elder Alpha asked, shaking her head in question.
“Yes, yes, but we have our duties to take care of. And being a first time mother, it can be somewhat difficult for me to manage things the way that an experienced mother would.” Aurora said, trying to explain the situation. “Plus, with the fact that | don’t want to depend on maids to be the ones to raise my kids; it would be somewhat harder for me to keep giving birth every few months if | am going to regain my strength.”
“| see,” she said, looking at both Dimitri and I.
He smiled proudly at me before kissing my temple, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds before pulling away. | knew that my response seemed to satisfy the elder and my mate, and though I knew that Dimitri and | were yet to discuss having more children; the two of us wanted this.
“The two of you have gotten closer to one another over the past few months,” Elder Jordan said, noting out. Dimitri looked at her and nodded with a smile on his face.
