Dimitri gave her a sorrowful look, “I’m sorry.”
She quietly thanked him before her tiredness finally caught up. He smiled and told her to rest, that he would be here when she wakes up. She gave him a thankful look before closing her eyes.

Dimitri sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, his head aching from the paperwork in front of him. Every now and then he would glance at Rosalie’s sleeping form, making sure she was alright. Other times he would deal with his lunatic of a brother laying on the couch in the room, singing random songs. He chuckled as Xavier continued to sing songs, shaking his head.
“What kind of medicine did they give you?” He asked, turning to face his brother.
Xavier raised an eyebrow before shrugging, “Don’t know, but I think it’s starting to wear off. Ya know, you should take Rosalie on a date when she’s healed.”
Dimitri frowned at him, his mind blank of what to do or say to that. After hearing no answer from his brother, Xavier turned and looked at him.
“I see the way you look at her and care for her. You haven’t looked at a woman like that since Christine. It’s time for you to start dating again, Rosie is perfect for that.” He explained.
Dimitri shook his head, “I don’t want to hurt her.”
“And how would you hurt her?”
“I can’t love her like I loved Christine.”
Xavier smiled softly at his brother, “What was between you and Christine was simply attraction. Christine was only in it for the money and power, once she found someone else she left you. She disowned her children. Rosie is better than Christine. She’s stunning, how can you not want her?”
“I do want her, but…”
“But what?”
“But what if I’m not enough? I wasn’t enough for my own mate, it’s obvious I’m doing something wrong.” Dimitri sighed.
Xavier frowned at him, “You did nothing wrong. You treated Christine like a queen and she took it for granted. No one will ever be good enough for that bitch, you know that. I can tell Rosalie is different. She’s good for you.”
Dimitri looked back at the sleeping she–wolf, her beauty took his breath away each time he looked at her. He could- n’t deny that he was attracted to her, maybe even more than he was to Christine. He bit his lip, he wanted to get to

know her. They both went through bad breakups with their mates and both had their mates cheating on them. She un- derstands him, she doesn’t beg him for sex ‘or the Luna title, she doesn’t ask him for anything besides help walking across the room. He titled his head, she even protected his daughters and didn’t ask for anything in return. He smiled softly, an idea forming in his head.
One date can’t do anything.
It wasn’t until two hours later that Rosalie woke up, when he saw her eyes open he sat up and grinned at her. She smiled at him before yawning and sitting up, with his help.
“When am I going to be released?” She asked, getting sick of the hospital feel.
Dimitri chuckled, “The doctor is going to check on you in the morning. If you’re healed, she’ll let you go.”
Rosalie nodded and sighed, she stared at the ceiling, thinking of her old pack. She was the Luna of the pack, daughter of the pack’s previous alphas. She abandoned them, but they had abandoned her first. All they did was bully her, treat her like garbage because of some lie her not so lovely mate created. She knew eventually they would search for her, with or without Cyrus‘ permission. He wasn’t the true alpha of the pack after all. The pack will eventually want their original alpha back, they watched her grow up. They loved her family and her, they did everything for her.
She sighed, she couldn’t go back though. Not when her mate is still
Alpha and when she left on bad terms. She left the pack believing she hated them, but in all honesty she didn’t. She couldn’t. She was disappointed in them though, as a pack who knew her well they should of known Cyrus was lying.
“You okay?”
She looked over to see Dimitri giving her a concerned look. She smiled softly at him, briefly wondering why he couldn’t be her mate. “Just thinking of my pack.”
“You miss them?” He asked.
She shook her head, “Just wondering how they’re doing with…Cyrus as their alpha.”
“Wait, you were Cyrus‘ mate?”
Rosalie nodded, “Yeah, unfortunately. He decided I wasn’t good enough and moved onto a different girl. You’d think he would stay faithful to me, his mate.”
Dimitri frowned, “He is also the one who my mate left with.”
