Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Rosalie yawned as she sat in Dimitri's office, watching the two alphas argue. Of course Eli still tried to make a deal that included Rosalie, but Dimitri refused. Three ideas later and they were still arguing. She had attempted to break the arguments up, but that had failed miserably.

"Alright, while you two battle it out in here, I'm going to bed." She yawned.

Dimitri smiled softly at her, "I'm sorry, baby girl. Go rest, I'll be up soon."

She chuckled and kissed him on the lips, "If you two keep bantering like this, I highly doubt that."

Dimitri rolled his eyes, but kissed her and ushered her upstairs. He sighed and turned back to Eli, he frowned when the alpha was giving him a confused look.

"What?" He asked.

Eli sighed and leaned back, "I'm shocked you don't see it."

"See what?"

"You two haven't been hanging with each other all week. It has been nothing but long meetings and her coming in and out."

"Well, it's not my fault you have some weird obsession with her and keep trying to get her." Dimitri retorted.

Eli chuckled, "I would be careful, alpha. A woman like her isn't shunned by men, if she becomes too lonely..."

Dimitri knew where Eli was heading with this and he didn't like it. He only scoffed at him, Rosalie wouldn't ever cheat on him. She was cheated on as well and knows how it makes you feel. He had no doubt in his mind that Rosalie was his.

"You're being delusional, Eli." Dimitri stated.

Eli raised an eyebrow as he took a sip of his wine, "Am I?"

Dimitri walked into their room two hours later, frowning at his argument with Eli. He had hesitated at the door, wondering if she had someone else in there. He shook that thought from his mind, disgusted by how he was thinking of her. Rosalie wasn't a whore, she wasn't another Christine, she was Rosalie. The smart, kind, and strong woman that he was in love with.

He opened the door and smiled at her sleeping form, he quietly closed the door and kissed her on the temple. He quickly showered before crawling into bed beside her, wrapping his arms around her.

Rosalie turned onto her side and smiled softly at him. "Up here in a few, huh?" She teased.

He laughed, "Yeah, well, he's a stubborn guy."

She hummed her response, she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck and released a sigh. He softly ran his fingers through her hair, biting his lip.

"Honey?"

"Yeah?" She whispered sleepily.

"You don't feel...lonely...do you?" He asked.

She sat up and furrowed her eyebrows, "Lonely? As in...spending too much time alone and not with you?"

He sighed, "I guess."

"Well, this week has been busy, but I'm not surprised. You're an alpha of a large pack with a pain in the ass trying to make a deal that includes taking me. But I haven't felt lonely, I've missed you, but we see each other throughout the day still."

She frowned as she thought over his sudden question. She then felt a little pain as she looked at him.

"Are you doubting me?" She softly asked.

Dimitri's eyes widened, "What? No, it's just...I don't want you feeling as if I'm not giving you enough attention."

"Dimitri...you're having doubts." She stated.

He opened his mouth to argue with her, but she was too smart for his own good. He sighed in defeat and nodded.

"Eli has been-

"Putting ideas into your head. I get it. But I'm your mate, you know me, I would never cheat on you." She sighed.

"I know, I'm just being an idiot." He grumbled.

She smiled at him before wrapping her arms around him, "I will always stay faithful to you and only you."

Eli smirked as he walked outside, he met up with his gamma and sighed. He took deep breath before looking at the sky.

"Why did you call me here?" Darien asked.

Eli raised an eyebrow, "I need you to do me a favor."

"And that is?"

"You're going to help me split Dimtri and Rosalie."

The next morning Rosalie woke up to see Dimitri searching through his drawers. He frowned and sighed, running a hand through his hair, he turned towards the closet. She sat up in the bed and watched with amusement.

"You okay?" She chuckled.

He walked out of their closet with a pout in his face. "I can't find my favorite tie."

"Tie? Where are you going?"

"My mom is going out with her friends and she wants me to be their driver for the day." He grumbled.

"What about your brothers?"

"Well...Xander had to return to his pack early this morning to sort out an issue. He won't be back until tonight. Xavier gets distracted too easily and hates her friends, imagine how much of an asshole he is to them. As for Damon, never get in a car with him." He explained.

Rosalie laughed, "Looks like you're the only good driver."

"Seems like it." He sighed and looked at her. "You'll be fine today?"

"Yeah, Catherine's friend brought her son over and Elijah is very curious about him. So, I'm just going to have a pajama day today."

He grinned and kissed her on the cheek, "I'm not surprised."

Rosalie laughed before climbing out of the bed. She threw on a robe and watched Dimitri leave. She frowned as she turned back towards the large house. Sage and Sara were training today, so, she didn't have anything to do with them. Felicity had gone with Xander, so, there's no fun there.

She released a breath, she hates being alone. She walked into the kitchen to see a guy sitting there on his phone. He looked up and smiled softly at her.

"Hello." He greeted, standing up.

She smiled, "Hello, uh, not to sound rude but...who are you?"

He chuckled, "I'm the rude one here, name is Darien."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Darien."

"I'm guessing you're Luna Rosalie?"

"How'd you guess?"

"Dimitri's scent is all over you." He chuckled.

She grinned, "Well, that would certainly give it away. Do you want anything to eat?"

"No, no, I'm good. So, tell me something about you. I'm curious about the woman known as Dimitri's Luna."

"Oh, am I that intriguing?"

"Well, it's not everyday that you hear Alpha Black is in love with a woman." He smirked.

"I would hope so." She laughed. "Well, I love watching movies."

"And?"

"That's all you're getting, Darien."

He chuckled a bit, "Well, I have nothing to do today and I'm assuming you don't either, why don't we watch a movie?"

She bit her lip, she would love to watch a movie with someone, but not when Dimitri's having his recent doubts. She eventually sighed, he wouldn't be back till four and besides, she doesn't even think of Darien in an intimate way. What harm could it do?

She nodded, "Sounds like a plan."

Rosalie started to feel uncomfortable as Darien kept trying to touch her. She continued scooting away until she made some excuse as to why she suddenly had to leave. She ran outside and shifted, hoping he wouldn't follow her.

She thought, for once, an unmated male wouldn't try flirting with her or touching her. The only unmated male who hasn't tried that is Damon and he was only partially unmated. She shook her head, she hated being considered this gorgeous woman sometimes.

She ran for a little while longer until someone tackled her. She got up to see a red/brown wolf wagging his tail at her. She growled a little until she recognized Darien's scent. She internally groaned and started walking away.

He barked before jumping in front of her and whining a bit. She growled a little, showing him she was annoyed. However, he wasn't having any of it. He play tackled her again, this time, he got a shove back. She shook out her fur as he tumbled onto the ground. He stood up again and wagged his tail, he nipped at her playfully.

She watched him with uncertainty, trying to figure out if he was playing or attempting to flirt in wolf form. With male wolves, it's hard to tell sometimes.

She growled again and shook her head, she then turned around and trotted off. Darien whined again and pounced on her, she growled loudly as he rubbed himself on her. She grabbed him by his scruff and threw him off. He landed on the ground a little harshly, but it didn't faze him.

For crying out loud! Rosalie internally yelled as he tried playing again.

Her wolf was growling in annoyance, Rosalie flattened her ears and ran away. She growled as he followed her, when she spotted a few warriors from her pack she hid behind them.

"Distract him." She mind-linked them.

The three males nodded before tackling him, she briefly watched as they play fought with him. She then ran off and shifted back, she threw on a shirt and sprinted into the house. She stopped when she saw Dimitri sitting on the stairs, a scowl on his face.

He growled as he stood up and sniffed her, anger radiated off him. Rosalie swallowed and took a slight step back, earning another growl from him.

"It's not what it looks like, you can ask those three warriors in the forest. He was trying to play with me and-

"Why are your scents on the couch then? And why was his shirt in our room?" Dimitri snarled.

Rosalie frowned, "In our room? His shirt? I don't know, I saw him in the kitchen and watched a movie with him. That's all. I made up some excuse and left when he kept touching my thigh."

"I'm gonna kill him." He growled.

Rosalie quickly stopped him as he marched towards the door, when he looked at her she winced. He was pissed.

"Why are you protecting him?" He demanded.

She rolled her eyes, "Stop being so jealous. You can't just kill someone from our pack!"

"You seriously don't know him? I know his scent, Rosalie. That's Darien, Alpha Eli's gamma." He snapped.

Rosalie paled, "Well, that isn't...good news."

"Ya think? I wouldn't have mind you watching a movie with him if you texted me or something." He growled.

She swallowed, "I-I just thought-wait, why are you home?"

"My mother only went out to get coffee! I came home to find out you were hanging out with another male from another pack!" He fumed.

"I'm sorry! I just wanted to watch a movie with someone..."

"So, Eli was right."

She stiffened, "About what?"

"That you are feeling lonely." He growled.

She sighed, "You can't blame me. I'm used to always spending time with someone. I just wanted a friend to hangout with, I don't have many in your pack."

"Then find some." He snarled before storming out.

Rosalie watched with a hurt expression, she swallowed the lump in her throat and sat on the stairs. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head.
