Dante:“You’re too quiet for my liking” I said, looking at Aurora as she read through the papers. She has been quiet since she arrived earlier this morning, only speaking when she needed to, and it was a while past noon. I hated to admit it, but seeing as I could feel her anger radiating from her body, the mating bond making it uncomfortable for me to even think of or see, I couldn’t help but want to comfort her.The lawyers just came back with them and she was reading through them to make sure that no mistakes were made before putting them in the file that was to be placed in the safe later today until we were ready to discuss a few matters with the investors.“I am finishing my work, boss. I do believe that…”“You aren’t even calling me Dante” I said, stopping her. She looked up at me and bit her bottom lip before sighing and getting up. She looked down at her feet, and hearing her heart race, I couldn’t help but frown in confusion.“Do you want a cup of coffee? I’ll go and get…” I

Dante:I kept my eyes on Aurora as the words left my mouth before I could stop them.The way she looked at me and the way her heart raced told me that she has been waiting to hear the words since she saw me; however, I was vaguely telling her about it because we had to go to the pack tomorrow. It never meant that I accepted her as my mate, not yet anyway.“How…?”“It’s getting colder, Aurora, come on, let’s get you home” I said, stopping her “the two of us are going to have a lot to do tomorrow and I think that visiting the pack…”“Wait, visiting the pack?” Aurora asked, stopping me. She frowned, running her hand over her arm, rubbing it gently.“Yes, I do believe that as Giovanni’s right hand…”“I was his right hand when it concerned work; however, I had no associations with the pack’s duties. I did visit, but it stayed there” Aurora said, stopping me. I stayed quiet for a few seconds before nodding.“You’re still coming with me and Leonardo. You can choose to either meet us there or

Dante:“Alpha…”“Order around this pack would be followed whether or not I am here, do you understand me? Aurora would be part of this pack as long as I am allowing it, and if anyone, and I really do mean, anyone, questions that, I would not hesitate to rip his head off” I said, stopping one of the pack members from speaking. The last thing I needed now was to hear anyone’s voice after what happened. I turned to leave the Estate’s gates, not bothering to stay a second longer as the scent of my father filled my nostrils. I was well aware that he wasn’t here, whatever hole he chose to hide in, he was not within his pack’s grounds, and for that, I was thankful.“Dante…” Leonardo said, stopping me as I was entering the car “what was that back there? What happened between the two of you that pissed you off to hurt her?” “That does not concern…”“Dante, you physically hurt the woman, and if anyone knows you, it is me. The woman winced in pain and you didn’t think twice, fucking hell, she’

Dante:“You’re seriously driving toward the pack?” Aurora asked, frowning in confusion.“I insulted you there and it is only right to make it right there. Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you, and any one who does dare cross their limits with you would have to deal with me” I said, turning to look at her. She nodded at the street ahead of us, not saying a word as she indicated that I keep my eyes on the road.“We still have to deal with other things that concern the pack’s order, you do realize that, right?” Aurora asked and I nodded.“Yes, the image we left yesterday was not the best and we are going to have to fix that up too. I don’t know what Giovanni told them about me being their Alpha and frankly, it is the least of my concern” I said, turning to the gate of the pack’s estate “but to say the least, I don’t think that they were expecting any less”“You really do hate the man, don’t you?” Aurora asked, and I chuckled. My eyes darkened and seeing that, Aurora stayed quiet, dismissing

Dante:I watched as Aurora entered the office an hour and a half later, putting a file on my desk and a hard drive on my desk. She chose to leave my office while working to work with one of the employees to get things done and if I were being honest, when I set the deadline for her, I didn’t expect her to get things done as fast. I had to admit, I could see how efficient she worked, and as much as it annoyed me, I understood why Giovanni chose to work with her in specific.“These are the things that you asked for. The financial team brought over your statements, and this has the presentations that you wanted” she said, not sparing me a second glance. I looked at the things for a second before nodding in approval “is there anything else that you need, Mr. D’Angelo?”She glared at the love bite that I had on my neck for a second before she looked me in the eye, her eyes hardening in anger and clear jealousy, her wolf reacting the same way mine did when I heard of her ex texting her.
