Chapter 116 Aurora:

| smiled at the guests as | walked around, my eyes catching sight of Dimitri, who was standing with one of his associates as they spoke. Alaria and Ademide were talking amongst one another, and though | couldn't see Charlotte with them, | knew that it would soon be discussed that she is betrothed to the enemy, and that wasn’t something that | wanted us to be dealing with.

Her scent filled my nostrils and | turned around to face her, raising an eyebrow at the woman. “| suspect that you are not too foolish to try and kill me in my home, are you?” | asked, raising an amused eyebrow at her.

“The two of us know, very well, that Dimitri has his eyes on your regardless of him being with other men. Touching a hair on your head would be unwise, but it isn’t why I’m here.” She said, and | shook my head in question. “Do you mind if we take this conversation. outside? They have their eyes and ears on me, and | doubt that them hearing this would be the right thing, and | have very little time.”

| frowned in confusion, and when | looked at Dimitri, | saw that he already had his eyes on us. He nodded in assurance, and | motioned to the woman to head to the garden. It was the only secluded area at the moment and though | knew that it would be heavily guarded, it would be the place for us to talk.

“They are planning on wedding me to Luka.” She said, and | nodded. “| heard,” | said, and she raised an eyebrow. “I think that you know that your father isn’t the only one with spies all over the city.”

“Indeed,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest as the two of us walked side by side. toward one of the benches. We both sat and | turned to look at the woman, keeping in mind that | had to keep a safe distance. | didn’t want to bother laying a finger on her, and | would rather not have her touching me. “I need help. If they succeed, they are going to have my brother, Ademide’s eldest son, as an Alpha. It is not something that | want, and | know for fact that they are going to do everything that they can to kill my father after that happens.”

“How do you know this?” | asked, shaking my head in question. “I am referring to the last part. The first, you might have processed when you saw that she was keen about wedding you...”

“She was always keen about doing so anyway. It is one of the reason why | chose to be with Dimitri in the first place.” She said, and | sucked in a harsh breath at her statement. “Had | stayed back at home, they would have chosen a different man for me to be with. It hurts for one’s father to be sending her off the way that | was almost sent, but | knew that | would rather be with a man that | chose instead of one that they chose for me. Everything was going well for Ademide, and though | was Dimitri’s little secret. Ademide knew that | was stripped off

my titles. When my father brought me back home and gave me my titles again...” “You opposed a threat to her.” | stated, and she nodded. “Do you think that would agree to the marriage?” your father

“My father would agree to everything that Ademide tells him to do. The woman has him brainwashed, and believe me, you do not understand when | say that she is a sick bitch that only aims for what benefits her. And though | can understand her reason, maybe, | find it hard to accept that my father is willing to choose her over his own daughter. Then again, | think that | am the memory of my mother. It is something that the two of them always wanted to get rid of.” She said, and | nodded.

“Do

you want to be with Luka?” | asked, and she shook her head. My chest ached, and though | knew that she has done me more harm than anyone ever has. | knew that this wasn’t a fate that | would wish for her.

He will be patient until he has a few sons to guarantee his place before he’s gotten rid of me. | have seen and heard of the rumors that surround him, and he has one lover, one that he cannot be with, not yet anyway. But the other girls, he uses so savagely that neither one of them dares look at a man again, let alone allows him to touch her. And the worst part about it is; when he is done, he either sends them to pleasure houses for his men or he sends them to hounds that eat them off.”

“What is this?” | asked, shaking my head in question. “Some kind of history class?” “You can ask around. Everyone who knows his name knows how much of psycho he is.” She 2/3

said, and | frowned at the woman, seeing both her honesty and pain in her eyes. “I know that you don’t have to help me, and | know that I wouldn’t have done it for myself. But | ask you for this favor, Aurora, because | really do need it.”

“lam not coldhearted, Charlotte. It is a trait that | hate about myself sometimes as | know that | would be more than willing to help someone who knows for fact that she has hurt me more than she would find herself accepting had it been herself.” | said, looking at the woman. “But the man is a common enemy anyway, and you marrying him would be disastrous to all of us.”

“You are willing to help?” She asked, and | shook my head.

“| do not intend to interfere in something that is like this.” | said, nodding behind her. She frowned and | could hear her catching her breath as she caught Dimitri’s scent. His eyes met mine, and | could tell that he was silently asking me whether or not | was okay with this. In truth, | knew that | wouldn’t have been before, but right now, | knew different. The two of us grew stronger, more wise, and more into our relationship. | knew that if he wanted to cheat, he would, he wouldn't have to ask this of me.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

| kissed his cheek and nodded as | pulled away.

“I'll be inside,” | said, looking my mate in the eye. “I hope things go as you plan...” 3/3
