Dimitri's Promise

Chapter 31

Rosalie searched for Sage while Maddox dragged Dimitri outside to go for a short run. More like a walk in wolf form, considering the fact Dimitri was too weak to run.

It only took Rosalie an hour to find Sage, she was sitting in her father's office, reading through letters. Her eyes held rage as she stared at the old papers, when Rosalie had closed the door she looked up.

"My mom was horrible...." She whispered, looking back at the papers.

Rosalie frowned, "Those the letters she sent to your father?"

"Yeah, all she kept saying was that everyone hates him. Like she tries beating it into his head or something." She replied.

Rosalie smiled sadly and hugged the girl, "Well, it's our job to make sure your father knows he's loved. Especially when he thinks we hate him."

Sage frowned as she faced her, "What do you mean he thinks we hate him? He thinks I hate him?"

"He thinks the pack does and his brothers and you. He grabbed your jaw and yelled at you."

"I was angry at him, but I did challenge his title while he was already upset...talk about being stupid." Sage grumbled.

Rosalie grinned, "So, you don't hate him?"

"No, how could I? He stayed and raised us when Christine walked out on us. He protected us and almost died when those rogues attacked. If anything, I owe him."

"You don't owe him, he's your father, he will always protect you no matter what. Same with me, I'll protect you, your sister, and the pack no matter what. I'm your step-mother and the Luna of the pack." Rosalie said as she threw the letters back in the trash can.

Sage smiled softly, "I should talk to him, make sure he knows I don't hate him. Does he have low self esteem?"

"Eh, something like that. He just has trust issues because of Christine and the self confidence thing. I think it's more self hatred if anything."

"He'll get better, right? He has to before the alpha meeting."

"Why?" Rosalie asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

Sage gulped and picked up a letter from under a few folders. "See for yourself."

Rosalie took the letter and read it, her eyes widened as she dropped it. She ran her hand through her hair.

"Why is he doing this?" She asked to herself.

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

Rosalie sighed, "Not if I kill him first."

Sage followed Rosalie out of the office to find Dimitri. They walked outside to see him laying down in wolf form, watching his brothers train the pack. Rosalie sat beside him while Sage sat on the other side. Dimitri wagged his tail a little bit, but other than that, continued watching.

"Ya know, you look like one of those stuffed dead animals when you're barely moving." Sage observed.

Dimitri looked at her with confused eyes, Rosalie could imagine him raising his eyebrow. Sage grinned before looking back at the training.

"He's gonna fall." Sage stated.

They all watched as two warriors tackled each other, sure enough, the one warrior fell and the other pinned him down. Xavier nodded before talking to the one who fell.

"His balance was off." Rosalie voiced.

Dimitri barked his agreement, Rosalie and Sage chuckled.
