Chapter 165

• Alpha Dimitri walked into his room, fresh from a shower, feeling the weight of the day’s decisions settling heavily on his shoulders. As he approached the bed, his gaze fell upon his mate, Azalea, lying peacefully against the pillows, her chest rising and falling in a rhythmic pattern of sleep. Despite her serene appearance, his mind was troubled, clouded with doubts and uncertainties that tugged at his heart.
• The words of Izabella, his ex-lover, echoed in his mind, casting a shadow of doubt over his relationship with Azalea. Was he making the right decision by keeping her as his mate, especially knowing she had a child from another man? Maybe Izabella was right, it wasn’t typical for a pack Alpha to accept a mate with such a complex past. Perhaps he was being naive, allowing his emotions to cloud his judgement.
• Struggling with these conflicting thoughts, Dimitri finally climbed into bed behind Azalea, his movements cautious as if not to disturb her peaceful slumber. He lay there, staring at her delicate features illuminated by the soft moonlight filtering through the curtains, his mind a whirlwind of uncertainty and unrest.
