Chapter 89 Aurora: | had to admit, the pain and anger that | felt at the moment were ones that | wouldn't have thought that | would be going through.
| had wished that she was wrong.
When | went to that garden, | wished that | didn’t find Ivan. | wished that he wasn’t there waiting for her, but then when | went to the hotel, | just didn’t know what | felt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI sat on the front porch of the house, not wanting to go inside as | watched the sunset.
To think that | was fooled into believing that the two of us could have been together. To think that | believed for one moment that he wanted anything to do with me.
“Hey,” | heard, snappingout of my thoughts. I looked up to find that man, Damon, standing in front of me.
“Are you okay?” “You didn’t tell him that | was going out,” | said, and he looked atfor a second before shaking his head. “Why not?” “I didn’t want to interfere, and considering that she came; | knew and understood that you were going to see something that | would have prevented had | spoke.” He said, makingfrown. “I heard and saw how he treated you, and while it doesn’t concern me, something indidn’t want to be the reason that you were taken for a fool again. But whatever it is, note that this is going to be the last time. that | keep something from him.” | nodded and wiped my tears as | didn’t want him to see them falling from my eyes. At this point, the last thing that | needed or wanted was anyone to pity me, and the fact that | knew that even he could be looking atwith such pity was something that | knew and hated. It painedto be put in such a situation, but | knew for fact that | was going to have to find a way to cope with the pain and the fact that | knew that things were going to go back to square one.
“Do you want to go inside? It is getting cold and I think that it would be best if you do so.” He said, and | scoffed, shaking my head. “For yourself and your baby. You are still feeding her and | doubt that you are going to be able to do so if you are sick.” “Who the hell are you anyway? Mind you, | do not even know you and yet, you chose to helpout. | doubt that it is a favor that you chose to do for me.” | said, and he smiled, shaking his head.
“Damon, this pack’s beta.” He said, extending his hand. “And | have to admit, | do not like the blonde anymore than you do. This is a mere revenge for the way that she’s treated everyone in the pack despite supposedly not having the right to do 1. so. At least, she is going to know that you are on to her, and that you are not alone.” “As if she didn’t get what she wanted.” | said, raising an eyebrow.
“On the contrary. Had the Alpha left, she would have gotten what she wanted and you would have been oblivious, she would have known that someone, anyone, was still on her side. You going meant that someone didn’t want her around, and that is almost everyone within the pack grounds.” He said, and | laughed, making him smile. “See, despite the pain, you managed to laugh.” “I am mocking myself for being as foolish as | am.” | said, looking away from him.
“Fools tend to know more than they let out.” He said, and | raised an eyebrow. “It is those who claim to be smart that should be feared. In your case, you are in pain, but you are no fool. You are going through a lot, and you cannot be blamed for your anger. What you can be blamed for is your neglect, now, seriously, you need to go inside before you catch a cold.” | nodded and got up from the floor, watching as he turned to leave, “Damon...” “Yes, Luna?” He asked, turning to face me. | smiled and nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank you,” | said, and he winked, smirking at me.
“Don’t worry about it,” he said, nodding at the door. “And try to get yourself something to eat. You know, your system still needs nutrition if you are to be able to nourish the baby.” I smiled and walked inside the room, knowing that he was right before closing the door. My stomach churned and for a moment, | found myself wondering how I was going to be able to sleep in the sroom with him, an considering the fact that he emptied the room that | was staying in, | knew that | was going to have no other option than to face him.
| entered the bedroom, and my chest ached as | saw the crystal necklace that he gavefor giving birth to our baby. The man bought her a hotel, made sure to give her something for her future, and when it cto me, though I did not need his money, he chose crystals.
“You should have seen the signs, Aurora.” | whispered to myself, removing the necklace from the dresser. | placed it inside the box before putting the box on his desk. | shouldn't have accepted something from him to begin with. Tradition or not, | doubt that any tradition followed him giving his mistress or consort a hotel to secure her independence.
| looked myself in the mirror for a second before shaking my head at myself. “But considering that you were naive, you are going to have to handle the consequences.” | knew that speaking to myself wasn’t the wisest of things, but | had no one to be able to talk to. I didn’t even know whether or not Natalia was in on this, and. though | doubted that she would be, her wedding was soon, and the last thing that | wanted was to ruin something like that for her.
“You are going to find a way to be patient, Aurora.” | whispered to myself. “And one way or the other, you are going to know how handle this. For now, you are going to be quiet, that is all that you are going to do...”
