Chapter 33
Aurora:
To say that my heart was beating against my ribcage would not be a lie.
The dress that I was wearing, despite being as loose as it was felt tight as if it were choking me, and though I knew not to change it, it was the Alpha, to my surprise, who sent it to me; I couldn’t help but find myself suffocating under all the pressure that I was feeling right now.
The fear that I had of the Alpha doing something that would end up putting me in a rougher situation with his hate was something that I was not going to deny. But I knew that there was no getting out of this, I had to do what he asked me to; otherwise, I was going to be the one getting in more trouble than I could afford, and Charlotte was going to literally be the least of my concerns.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The fact that the man knew that was something that I wasn’t going to deny, but I didn’t understand what game he was playing at right now.
He knew that his lover was furious with me being around him, and he knew very well that she was more than a little determined to do everything that she possibly could do to hurt me, and yet, he didn’t seem to care about that as he ensured to keep roaming around me, clearly calling for me to be by his side.
I ran my fingers through my hair as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, trying to somehow assure myself that things were going to be okay and that I wasn’t going to end up getting hurt. However, the scent of Charlotte hit my nostrils before I could be done with what I was thinking, and I took in a sharp breath before turning to the door, knowing that she wouldn’t bother knocking on it.
Her eyes met mine as she entered the room, and I shook my head in question, waiting for the threat that she was going to throw in this time. The anger that she was clearly showing toward me was understandable, but the fact that she was the one who made the initial mistake was not something that I could deny or ignore.
-Had I known-about her and the Alpha, I would have tried persuading my way out of this or I wouldn’t have had any hopes
concerning him to begin with
“You seem to not understand a warning when itis given to you.” Charlotte said, looking me dead in the eye, and I took a step back as I took a deep breath. I knew that I had to put her in place, but I also knew that IF and when she made up with the Alpha, whatever it was that I told her or whatever situation that happened between us will come back to bite me in the bum therefore, I knew that staying quiet was going to be the better option. “It seems to me that I am going to have to take matters into my own hands.”
I frowned in confusion only for her to raise her hand to slap me. I grabbed her hand midair, stopping her, and her eyes widened in surprise before she raised her knee, hitting my right thigh. I cried out as I fell, hitting my left knee, and she grabbed me by my hair. My heart raced, and she squeezed my checks, wanting to put something inside hy mouth; however, I growled, my eyes turning into a deep shade of golden as my wolf made herself known to defend her child. She pulled my hair even more, cutting a few strands, making my b*dy ache, but I knew that giving in to what she was doing wasn’t going to get me anywhere. I was going to have to fight back somehow, otherwise, I was going to end up losing my child.
“He will never love you or your baby” She said, squeezing my cheeks harder for me to open my mouth. I chewed the inside of it, forcing myself to keep it closed, ignoring the blood’s metallic taste inside it. She leaned in, her hot breath hitting my ear as she spoke her next words that tore everything inside me. “You know, he was aiming to have you give birth to the child before he got rid of you. He is aiming to give me the baby, and I know that YOU are going to be no one in his life.”
She pushed me away, and I put both hands on the floor, blocking the impact, and she laughed, shaking her head at me.
“You are lying.” I said, shaking my head. The man couldn’t be that cruel. He couldn’t be planning on taking my baby after I have given birth to it. No person could do that. It was impossible.
“You can ask him if you want. That is, of course, if you are willing to actually hear his answer without being a bi tch or child about it. You know, it may not satisfy you….”
“You are a manipulative woman, what makes me guarantee that this is not one of your games? Huh? What has me believing
that ONE word that you are telling me right now is of truth?” I asked, sniffing as I fought my tears, I could see my blood on the floor in front of me, and Charlotte got down on one knee, keeping her eyes on me as she did, clearly waiting to see me flinch. I took a deep breath and forced myself to stay still.
“If you really believe that I am lying, Aurora, go and ask him” She said, lowering her voice to above a whisper as she clearly waited for me to say that he wouldn’t be doing so. Tears brimmed my vision, and she laughed before getting up. She threw the vial in front of me, and I took a deep breath not wanting to fall for whatever game she was putting me through. “I think that you might need it. You know, to end your misery, I do believe that this would be helping you a lot.”
“Get out of my bedroom.” I said, and she laughed. My hands shook as I glared at the small bottle, and the low growl that escaped my ch*st was one that not even I expected to hear. The pain and anger that I felt was one that I wouldn’t have expected to feel no matter the circumstance that I was thrown in.
Charlotte looked at me, her eyes widening in surprise for a second before she rushed out of the room, clearly worried and frightened of my reaction. My heart raced against my chest, and I watched as she walked out of the room without saying a word before I put my hand on my stomach, squeezing my shirt tightly.
“She is lying, my little one.” I whispered to my baby. “Your father may hate me, but he is not that cruel. You will see, she is just playing with my head right now. No one is going to take you from your mother, my beloved. I promise you, I will never
allow it…”
