Alpha Dimitri By LS Barbosa

Chapter 88 Dimitri: “What do you mean that Charlotte didn’t come?” | asked, frowning in confusion.

“I have been here for the past hour, and no one showed up. | tried walking around, thinking that I might find her, but nothing, she is not here.” He said, and | tapped my desk twice, knowing that unless she was in trouble, she wouldnt have bailed like that.

“Go home, if something happens, | will call you.” | said, and he hummed in response.

The two of us hung up and | tapped the desk twice, getting lose in my thoughts for a few seconds before getting up from my chair.

The office was one that | made for Charlotte in specific. The two of us have had our memories here, especially since it was the first thing that | ever made for her after she gave everything up to be with me. And | had to admit, despite everything, | couldn't help but find myself smiling at the memory.

| sighed, shaking my head before turning to the door, knowing that these thoughts were going to leadnowhere but trouble.

I barely just got to fix my relationship with Aurora, and the idea of her finding out about any of this was not something that | wanted. | didn’t know how she was going to react to it in the first place, and regardless, | didn't want to open up a topic that was nonexistent to me, especially when it concerned a woman like Charlotte.

“I said a word,” | heard from outside the office. “He is my husband...” “Ma’am, with all due respect...” “You can ask him if you are fucking doubting...” “Aurora?” | asked, walking out of the office to catch sight of her in front of the security men. Their eyes were wide in surprise as they saw her anger, and | couldn't help but find myself taking a deep breath as | tried fighting off the heavy feeling that settled in my chest.

“What is the meaning of this?” | asked, stopping her from saying another word. The fact that | couldn't catch her scent toldthat she had something to mask it on. My woman wanted to chere withoutknowing that she was coming, and whatever the reason was, | knew that she didn’t chere to say hello. “What is the meaning of you stopping my wife at the door?” “Boss, we apologize, we were not aware...” “Of course, you were not.” Aurora said, stopping one of the security men. Her eyes met mine for a second and | couldn't help but frown when | saw tears filling her eyes as they brimmed her vision. She was quick to wipe them before turning to the security man. “As you may know, this building belongs to his ex, lover, mistress, whatever you might want to call her; you know, you can’t really expect to know aboutwhen he’s bought this place for her, am | wrong?” “Aurora...” | said, taking a step toward her. | extended my hand to touch her, wanting to understand what was going on, but she raised her hand, glaring at me.

“Do not think of touching me, Dimitri.” She said, her chest rising and falling as she spoke. “Do not think of touching me, EVER, do you fucking understand me?” | looked at the men, nodding at them to be dismissed before turning my attention. to my mate. Her heart raced, and she shook her head atbefore | took a step back, wanting her to followinside the office.

“Fine, | won't touch you, but the two of us are going to have to talk...” “About you wanting Charlotte to cto the company that you bought for her? Or about you sending Ivan to wait for her in a garden to pick her up? Did you nk that you could takefor a fool...?” “You followed my beta,” | stated, and she shook her head.

“She cto the pack to informof where you were, challengingto find. you. She challengedto do so if | trusted that the two of us were mates, and guess what?” Aurora asked, refusing to move an inch toward the office. | knew that she was now angry and if Charlotte had something to do with it, then | shouldn't. have been surprised. But the idea of this happening was not one that | wanted, and Charlotte playing a gonwas another thing that | was furious about. “She was fucking right. Now, rather thansmiling and calling my mate the man who wants to at least try being with me, | am stuck...” “Can you at least givea chance to listen to what | am going to tell you...?” “Why? For you to play with my head? Or for you to feedmore lies because. you know that | am...” “I am not going to prove to you, nor would | try to prove that | did not intend to chere to cheat on you.” | said, stopping her. “But if you are choosing to fall for something as pathetic as this from the woman who you know wants nothing more than to...

“Really? You are seriously speaking toabout something like this when | am your mate, your wife, and partner, and she is a mistress.” She asked, glaring at me. “You gota fucking necklace when | almost died to give birth to our daughter, and though I love her and do not regret her and nothing that you are going to giveis going to mean more than she does; you gavea necklace. Then we have the mistress...” “She is no mistress,” | said, and Aurora raised an eyebrow. “I ended things between us and if the two of us were together long before you entered my life, then you have no right to judgebased on a past that you do not even know.” She looked atfor a second, her chest rising and falling with each breath that she took before she took a step forward to look at me. Her eyes met mine and her next words felt like a dagger was stabbed in my chest before it was pulled out, leavingto bleed.

“Yes, your past, that is why you are here, isn’t it?” She asked, taking a step back. “Enjoy your mistress. That is all you'll be getting anyway after you've just lost me. Might as well have someone to satisfy your S**ual needs, no?”
