Dimitri:
“I wouldn't have expected her to be leaving the two of us alone, I have to admit
that much.” Charlotte said, standing up as she looked at me.
“She knows that I have eyes for one woman,” I said, and Charlotte held her
breath for a second.
“I can assume that it is not me.” She said, and I took a deep breath.
“You know why I am here, and I think, after hearing what you told Aurora, that the
two of us are on the same page. The question is, can I trust that you are not
going to betray or turn against me when things are done?” I asked, crossing my
arms over my chest as I looked at the woman. “You know, you tend to have your
ways of manipulation, and I do not intend to bring a snake into my house.”
“You know for fact that I can turn against you whenever I want, but I have no one
to back me this time...”
“And that makes you weaker, doesn't it?” I asked, stopping her. “It does the one
thing that you don’t want to admit to yourself, but it makes you think and feel like
you have no one to depend on.”
“You know that I never wanted to get to this point, Dimitri. I tried to fix things
between us but nothing seemed to work and I never did expect them to...”
“You lied to me, Charlotte.” I said, stopping her. “And if you know anything that
broke us off, you would know that it was the lies that got between us in ways that
I wouldn't have wanted for them to do so. While I am not going to open the past
with you right now, the two of us have a lot to discuss and we are going to mainly
start with the fact that I am going to need you by my side.”
“You know for fact that my father will not allow it with Aurora...”
“And yet, he has allowed you to attend the wedding today, despite knowing that
you would be here. Don't tell me that Ademide has eyes on you because you
know, as well as you know

your name, that she doesn't give a fuck what you do.” I said, and she frowned,
knowing that I was right. “She is going to have one aim tonight, and it seems to
me that not only do you know about it, but you also don’t want it.”
“I don’t want to find myself being violated, but that doesn’t mean that I want to be
at your mercy.” She said, and I scoffed. “And don’t think because I spoke to your
mate that I am going to be willing to accept the bullshit that you are going to be
throwing at me. You know me well enough to know that it is the least of my
concerns and while I do care about myself enough not to want to get hurt, I know
that I don’t want to find myself being held as a hostage point for you to stop the
plans of another man.”
“I want to stop them because, just like me, you know that he will not only hurt you
but he will be hurting innocent people. And while I don’t care what you might think
of this, you are still a woman that I dealt with, whether or not the two of us are
exes doesn’t make a difference when it comes to having a spec of humanity.” I
said, looking her dead in the eye. “I don’t want to do this because I care about
you personally, but even my wife agreed that wedding you a monster, regardless
of how much it would be deserved, if I might add, is unfair.”
“I didn’t do anything more than be born to be forced into a fate that no man would
want for his daughter...”
“No man who loves his daughter would drag you the way that yours was taking
you, house to house, wanting to show off your body to the men for a bargain.” I
said, stopping from the woman. “If he loved you, had one ounce of mercy toward
you, he would have stopped you from giving up your titles when you came to the
pack. Face it, Charlotte, even he wants to legitimize his sons against you and
you are giving him everything that he wants on a plate of gold.”
“As if I have another choice, Dimitri.” She said, glaring at me. “l am alone in a
fight that I know that I cannot win. My mother died leaving me with a monster that
chose to wed his consort a month, not even allowing me to mourn in it, after she
died. Do you know how much pain I was forced to drown down to survive? Or do
you not even care to actually think that I too have feelings? I was abused,
beaten, yelled at, locked in a room for days with no food, my hair was cut in
different ways, and mind you it was never with scissors.”
“If held onto you and if I refused to lose the one person that made me feel like I
was wanted, it was because I knew that you were all I had. Everyone else just
wanted a bite, a taste, or a scratch out of me, and I couldn’t anything to fight
them back.” She said, taking a deep breath as she looked away. She wiped the
tears that welled up in her

eyes before they

fell from them, silently letting me know that she didn’t want me to see her
weaken.
“I didn’t know, Charlotte.”

Anyway, I am open to your help. At
this point, you and your mate are my
only hope. If I marry the bastard, then
I am going to end up dead within a
