Chapter 13
Aurora:
I walked around the living room, making sure that everything was tended to and
was in order, knowing that tonight was not only going to be a big evening for me,
but that a lot depended on it, and everyone's eyes were going to be on me. And
that was something that I was more than a little scared of.
“Please put these here,” I said, looking at the maid who nodded as she placed
the tray of small pastries on one of the tables. The concierges knew what to do,
and that wasn't an issue for me, if anything, they made the job a lot easier when
they tended to them.
“Wow,” Ivan said, entering the house as he caught sight of the things that I
prepared. Dimitri, who just walked inside, froze by the door for a second before
looking at me.
I looked down at my feet, avoiding both their eyes, and I couldn't help but find my
heart racing in both worry and anxiety as I feared the man not liking what I just
did. And I had to admit, I couldn't help but find myself actually dreading him
coming home as I feared how he was going to be judging things, and though I
could tell in his eyes that he was impressed I didn’t know how things were going
to actually be in reality. For the most of it, the man knew how to shock me with
the meanest words, and I didn’t even need to mention the fact that eh would go
from being calm to wanting nothing more than to just argue with me in a mere
second. It was something that tore me apart, and that was ne thing that he knew
very well.
“Did you do all this?” The Alpha asked, taking me off guard at the fact that he was
even referring to me, and I nodded, forcing myself to stay calm and content as
not to reveal my actual fear and worry. The last thing that I needed was to be
creating an issue right now.
The house was dimly lit, and the living room now had a buffet for the reception
where the TV initially was. Though I knew that the maids were concerned of
removing it, I knew that the table would be perfect for a small reception and we
could always return it later. Plus, no official gathering actually had a television. I
knew to keep such a detail in mind when I was preparing the area.
The couches were moved to the center of the room, and though a small
partition separated them, the dining table was already set with the silverware,
glasses, and white and blue plates.
Two candles were set on the dining table, and a small coffee table was moved
from the common room to here, and I was sure to put it in front of the couch for
those who wanted to drink their juices. There were the single couches, and
again, I chose to take the small tables from the common room and placed them
beside two of the couches.
“I will be returning everything when tonight is done. The TV was moved to the
common room, though I know that there is one there already, some of the pack
members are using it to play video games. I didn’t think that it would be proper
for us to have a TV in an official gathering and considering that the room wasn’t
designed to have a reception table, I settled for this one.” I said, nodding at the
table. It was the details that were added that made the difference, and I knew
that it was what caught Dimitri’s attention.
“We will be holding more receptions. We can find a new place for the TV,” he
said, taking me off guard. Ivan looked at me and raised an amused eyebrow
before the Alpha nodded as he walked toward the stairs. My heart raced and I let
out a breath that I didn’t even realize that I was holding before the beta
approached me.
I raised an eyebrow at the man and he nudged my shoulder, “good job.” I
blushed and watched as he walked toward the stairs before putting a hand on my
chest as a sense of satisfaction filled my insides. My heart swelled, but it wasn't
until I turned around and saw Charlotte standing in front of me that my smile was
wiped from my face as I saw her glare. She took one of the shrimp glasses, and I
took a deep breath as I watched her walk toward me. Her eyes were fixed on
mine before she spilled the red sauce on me, making my eyes widen in surprise
as I took a step back. She smiled, her smile cold, menacing, and I couldn't help
but feel my breath get caught in my throat as I saw her taking a bite of the shrimp
before handing me the cup and its tail.
“Ops, my bad.” She muttered, her tone cold, mocking, and sarcastic. “Now be a
doll and clean it up. You know, the pack is having guests in a bit.”
“You were my best friend,” I said, shaking my head at her. Her eyes were focused
on mine for a second, and I shook my head in question. “It is not like the two of
us met yesterday, nor is it like...”
“You never knew me, and if you believe that you did, then you are far more blind
than I ever thought that you were.” She said, making my chest
