Alpha Enzo (and Alaria) novel Chapter 48

Katherine:

I frowned when I saw Enzo walking out of Alaria’s room.

The bedroom door was open, and I could see and hear Alonso inside the room, reading with Ashton.

“What is going on here?” I asked, wanting to go inside only to be stopped by Enzo who wrapped his arm around my waist.

He pulled me back, not allowing me to approach the room, and I frowned.

“Enzo, what is my son doing in there? You can’t seriously expect me to allow this bullshit?” I snapped, shaking my head at the man. He shook his head at me, silently asking me to calm down before he pulled me to our bedroom.

“Enzo D’Angelo, what the fuck are you thinking? The woman..”

“If you would let me speak instead of snapping; I am going to explain. But right now, causing a fuss in front of Alonso is only going to drive him to Alaria. He is going there, staying there, and is refusing all kinds of measures when it comes to the two of us because of this.” He said, pointing at the two of us.

My eyes met the man’s, and he took a deep breath.

“You are going to have to be smart, and you are going to have to explain the dangers of him staying with Alaria. I don’t care about Ashton. The kid can do my son no harm. She knows that, but if she grows closer to him…”

“You are planning something, aren’t you?” I asked, stopping him. He didn’t respond, but I could see his anger in his eyes. Whatever was bothering him, it was clearly about Alaria, and I knew that he was hurting. The idea of him missing her was something that I was always scared of.

“I am going to take my son from that woman.” He said, and I frowned.

“I thought that you didn’t want to deal with…”

“I initially didn’t.” He said, looking away from me. “But considering that Alaria is choosing to play dirty, I am going to show and teach her who she is up against. And if she doesn’t want to learn, then I am going to…”

“You are going to what?” I asked. The man didn’t respond, instead, he cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead. His eyes met mine, and I frowned, not saying a word.

“I am going to deal with things my way, Katherine. You just make sure to take a good care of Ashton during that period, and I don’t want him being around Alaria. He is going to be influenced by her, and he needs to start understanding that Ashton is his competition.” He said, and I frowned.

“He is a bastard.” I said, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest. The idea of him finding out about Alonso frightened me, but I knew to stay quiet as I looked at him, waiting for him to say otherwise. Thankfully, he didn’t.

“You are doing this because she was with Alpha Damon, aren’t you?” I asked, avoiding his eyes. He didn’t move for a second, and I didn’t need to look up at him to understand that he was furious.

“What did you just say?” He asked, and I bit my bottom lip. I allowed my tears to fall from my eyes before looking up at him.

“You heard what I said,” I said, forcing myself to keep my eyes on his. His anger was seen in his darkening eyes, and though I stood my ground, I had to fight back the low whimper that almost escaped my lips when he stepped forward, towering over my body as he stood. His eyes were harder than they had ever been, and I didn’t need him to growl for me to know that I was in trouble.

“If you think of trying to cross limits with me, Katherine, then you are in for one fucking big surprise. And I give you my fucking word…”

“I am your wife,” I said, stopping him. “And if I am going to live in threat of a challenge, then I would rather not be here at all.”

“Is that so?” He asked, and I looked away from him. He put his finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him before he connected his lips with mine. His kiss was hard, angry, and I could tell that he was anywhere but happy or pleased.

He pulled away to look at me, resting his forehead against mine for a second before he took a step back.

“Thank the child that you are carrying,” he said, and I fought back sucking in a harsh breath at the reminder. “You would have found yourself outside this pack a long time ago if not for that…”
