And an Elena POV. I think we needed one especially since she was meeting Giovanni for the first time. Plus, the little wolf deserves a little more attention. Now, for Giovanni, do you think he'll let the night slide? Or do you think that Dante has more up his sleeves for him? Comment your opinions, believe me, I read them all (I think most of you already know that) ;)
Aurora: I smiled, clapping my hands to my mate as he got on the stage to introduce his project. It was not the only thing he was planning to do on that stage, but I was more than happy that he was at least getting on his feet. His eyes met mine and he nodded in assurance, giving me a quick wink before he looked at the invitees who were about to get the show of their lives. Giovanni took a seat on the right side of the stage, the chair farthest to the door, one small mistake that he made as he wouldn’t be able to walk out easily after the night; however, tonight was not about him simply walking out, and that was something that my mate was determined to prove. Alessandro sat on my right, and putting his hand on my shoulder, he squeezed it gently, making me smile. I had to admit, I was a bit nervous about what they planned and I knew that anyone who saw me could tell that I was not okay with what they were about to do. The heavy feeling that settled in my chest didn’t make things any
Dante: “Maria, you need to breathe” I said, giving the woman a glass of water. She sat on a chair, sobbing her eyes out as her son wrapped his arms around her, wanting to comfort her, his pain visible in his eyes for his mother who was in the weakest of all states. Her heart raced against her chest, and taking the glass from my hand, I sat on my knee in front of her, ensuring that she was able to hold the glass and take a sip of the cold water. It would at least help cool her body, if a little at this point. Nicolas’s eyes met mine, and he nodded toward Aurora who was standing, facing the window as her heart raced. I knew that the man had hurt her more than any man ever would, but I knew that she didn’t want this to be his fate, at least, not directly anyway. Alessandro had dismissed himself to one of the empty rooms in the hospital, sneaking in it to do something, though what it was, he wouldn’t tell us. We just all knew that he had something to take care of, and knowing the man, I
Aurora: My heart raced against my ribcage as I glared at the two who have not only betrayed, but also lied to me. Their eyes met mine, and I could swear that they flinched, trying to take a step back, already knowing that things were not going to go well. “Aurora…” Aiden started before I approached him, and raising my hand to slap him, I was stopped by Nicolas who wrapped his arm around me from the back, pulling me to his chest, not wanting me to start a scene. My heart raced against my chest and tears fell from my eyes as a wave of emotions hit me hard. I didn’t care about the fact that they were together, it was the least of my concerns. I had my mate, and a man who was honest about his feelings about me. It was the concept that both of them had lied to, betrayed, and played me for a fool, all while looking me in the eye. “You told me you got Sasha fucking pregnant, not my fucking best friend!” I snapped as Dante stood a step back. I didn’t dare look at my mate; but I could te
Dante: I drove back to the house in silence, not knowing what to say. Alessandro, sensing my anger, did not say a word as he got inside the car despite not knowing what happened. Maybe he did, but he chose not to interfere with things, at least for now. Mom and Elena were sitting in the back seats while Leo and Anastasia followed with their car behind me. Fire burned my chest as so many thoughts played in my head. Aurora’s reaction when she saw them kept repeating itself in my mind, and I couldn’t help the fear that I felt at the fact that she could be having feelings for the man. And stopping in front of the house, I couldn’t help but fear what was to come as a response from her right now. The way she walked out of the hospital alongside Nicolas not only broke me, but the fear that I had of her wanting to leave me tonight was not one that I liked living through. Thankfully mom and Elena, who saw the whole thing, were quiet as they walked out of the car, and entering the house, m
Aurora: I woke up to the smell of flowers. Opening my eyes, I frowned in confusion when I saw Dante walking into the bedroom with a bouquet of white and pink flowers in his hand. I sat up, and hesitating, Dante placed them on the bedside table beside me. His eyes avoided mine and cocking my head to the side, I studied his expression for a second to frown “you haven’t slept, have you?” “No” he said, and shaking my head, I extended my arms for him and pulled him to my chest. He stayed completely still as he held on the bouquet, and running my fingers through his hair, I felt his tense muscles relax for a second “I’m sorry, Aurora” His voice was broken, and I could feel his wolf’s pain and anger. I stayed quiet, waiting for what he had to say. Having dozed off a while into dawn, the last thing I expected was from him to go out instead of sleeping. “I know that I’m selfish at times, and I fucking know that I tend to say thing out of context. I know that I hurt your feelings when y
Alessandro:I watched as Aurora and Dante walked out to the living room late afternoon.Aurora walked toward me, and I stood up, wrapping my arms around her to kiss her forehead before looking her in the eye, studying her expression. I gave her one more kiss, gently running my fingers through her hair before letting her go back to her mate.“Now that you two are done with your argument, I believe that we could talk business” I stated, making Dante frown in confusion. I shook my head at the man and smiled “you can’t expect me to be dumb or blind as not to see the anger in your eyes”“You didn’t say anything about it?” Dante asked, and I shook my head.“The two of you are not children for me to interfere with every argument you have, that is one. Two, the two of you, as lovers, mates, and a couple, are going to have hundreds of fights, how you get over them is what would make your relationship stronger. Whether or not you would get over them would prove how your relationship would be; h
Dante: “Alessandro, you can’t expect us to let things slide…?” “I never said let things slide, Dante” Alessandro said, stopping me as the two of us walked out of the house. Aurora was still resting at home, needing it after all the stress that she went through. Her, Nasia, Elena, mom, Maria, and Aunt Gabriella were starting their search for baby essentials, getting familiar with the things that they wanted to get as Leo, Nicolas, and I walked out of the house with Alessandro. We had work to do anyway, this was just an excuse to talk about it “but you are going to be a father, and so far, I don’t think that neither you or Aurora are anywhere near ready to have a baby. And I don’t need to remind you that your baby is literally due in LESS than a month” I knew that the man was right, with everything that we have been preparing, we missed the fact that we needed to get things for our coming newborn. We didn’t even know whether our baby was a boy or a girl, but normally, we would just
Aurora: “Do you like this one?” Anastasia asked, showing me a few white onesies. We still didn’t know the baby’s gender; therefore, choosing white was more suitable until I gave birth to our little one. Plus, these were just the baby essentials that we would be using. I knew that we would be getting more things as time went on to the point where we would no longer have room for them. And I knew that we still needed to set the nursery that we wanted to make. At least, somewhere where we could put the baby closet, changing table, and the baby’s crib. One of them would be in our room, and I was making sure to choose one with tires for us to be able to move it from one room to the other to ensure that we could take it with us easily. “Yes” I said, smiling before looking down at my laptop, checking the cribs. I added one to the cart, it was one that I could raise when our baby grew a bit older, but I knew that we would need a new one when the baby grew older. “How about this changing
