Alpha Enzo (and Alaria) novel Chapter 63

Alaria:

“Bye, mama.” Ashton said, and I smiled, hugging him tightly.

He kissed my cheek and I watched as he walked inside the classroom, taking a seat in his place alongside his classmates. It was something that I was thrilled about, him managing to make friends and get along with others.

“How is he in class?” I asked his teacher, crossing my arms over my chest.

“He is one of the best, Ms. Alaria. He shares and he is more than willing to help his classmates if they need any help or assistance, and thankfully, I have no trouble with him arguing with others. He knows not to get in conflict despite his young age.” She said, making my heart swell. “You don’t need to worry, he really is a good child.”

“That is something that I am happy to hear.” I said, “especially after moving so suddenly and the transfers of schools. And I worried that he might not be able to get along very quickly.”

“You don’t need to worry. He is getting along and we see him making new friends on a daily basis. It is not common for other children when they enter a new school, I must admit, but with Ashton, he seems more open and social.”Visit Job n 1 b .co m to read the complete chapters for free.  She said, and I nodded. “Even the other teachers see him as ahead of his class in a few things explained, and he is a genius in math and science. It is something that we all noticed.”

“Well, if you need anything, please let me know. I am more than open to helping.” I said, and she nodded. I walked out of the building and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when I saw the car in its same place where Enzo dropped us.

“Thank you for this, Enzo.” I said, smiling at the man when I entered the car. He didn’t even move the car from in front of the door despite it not being a regular parking place.

“You don’t need to thank me, Alaria…”

“I do.” I said, making him frown in confusion. “You taking us to the restaurant, dropping him to school, it would make a difference to him when he grows older. I don’t even deserve what you are doing after being the reason why he didn’t get to have these memories with you as a child.”

“You raised him by yourself, Alaria. Trust me, you don’t know what it means to me for you to have done such a good job with him. He is well educated, and I can see how much he is progressing as he grows. I know that it is not something that he could have done on his own; he had to live through it with you, and you had to be there through every step for him to be as perfect as he is.” He said, making my heart swell as a small smile formed on my lips.

“This is something that I am more than a little proud of. He is my son and I love how I raised him. I remember making plans on how I wanted to raise him, and how I wanted him to grow by my side. I never wanted to see him being that kid that would be emotionally unstable. I wanted him to grow with me, to know what it is was to open up. I didn’t want him to feel like I was a mother and father to him by not being enough. I wanted him to feel like I was enough for him, and I wanted him to be raised to make you proud. Despite you not knowing about him, I didn’t want you to feel like I would be doing a bad job as a single mother with him as my son.” I said, and he smiled.

“I never would have expected you to do a bad job, Alaria. You are known to be a perfectionist when it comes to the way you handle things. You know how to stand strong and your grounds are mostly stable when you want things to be done your way. I’m guessing at the time the two of us were too young to see it.” He said, and I smiled, shaking my head.

“You hated the fact that I was a perfectionist when I was married to you.”

“More or less, it is still not a quality that I like in you. But I know to appreciate it now more than ever.” He said, and I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. He chuckled, dismissing the subject. “What do you plan on doing with the Damon topic?”

“I still don’t know. There is a lot that I have in mind, but I can’t give you a final response. Not when things are still rocky.” I said, keeping my eyes on the road. “You said, something about Ashton being your only heir. You have a son and two children on the way, don’t get me wrong, but do you want to tell me what is going on?”

“I would, but I am going to need to be sure of something…” his phone rang, stopping him midsentence. He frowned before plugging his phone to the car, and I couldn’t help but scoff when I saw that it was Katherine who was calling. Of course, it would be her.

It was a reminder that these short, good moments, were not everlasting. The man was married, and no matter how much I wanted to deny it; the two of them were a family together. I was the extra number here, something that I knew that I hated. But I also knew that in my situation, I had no other option. Unless, of course, I made difference choices, and I knew that it was going to be impossible for me to do.

“Yes, Katherine?” Enzo asked, answering the phone.

“Enzo, you need to come home quickly.” Her voice sounded panicked. I frowned in confusion at her tone, and Enzo straightened, his anger now turning to worry.

“What is going on?”

“Fire,” she said, making my heart drop. Enzo’s hand gripped on the steering wheel before he could ask questions, and I could already feel him speeding the car. “The house is on fire.”

“Is everyone…?”

“Some are inside the house, still. Others managed to run, but Enzo…” she froze as she let out a loud sob. Screams of fear could be heard in the background. The call of pack members to one another, and the cries of some of the children.

“Katherine, what the fuck…?”

“Alonso is inside the house, Enzo…” she said, making my heart drop. “We couldn’t get him out when it started…”

Enzo:

My eyes widened in surprise when I took sight of the burning house.

Katherine’s heart was racing and when I reached her, her eyes widened as she tried running toward me. They were bloodshot red and she was still crying.

“My son, they just…

“Enzo, you can’t be seriously believing what you’re saying right now.” Alaria said, frowning at me. Her heart raced against her chest and she took a step back, trying to process what I was saying. “The two of us went out with Ashton. We had breakfast together, why the hell would I…?”

“You wouldn’t have had me coming with you. It was me who offered to come, and you had no other option than to say yes…”

“Enzo, you know the type of mothers that I am. I wouldn’t put a child’s life in danger. Hell, you even told me that Ashton was your…”

“You are going to get the hell out of my house.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes widened in surprise and she took a step back, shaking her head in question.

“Enzo, you seriously believe that I did this?” Alaria asked, and I scoffed. I had no other explanation to what happened, and knowing that this fire started when Alaria was rushing out of the house was something that didn’t make sense to me.

“You would be the one benefiting if something was to happen to either Alonso or Katherine. And if something was to happen to me when everyone knew that Ashton was my son, he would be heir..”

“I don’t want him to be your damn heir. It is you who forced us here and you are the one who has refused to have me..”

“Well, you are going to leave the pack, and you are going to get the hell out of my pack.” I said, glaring daggers at the woman whose eyes widened in surprise.

“I am not going to go anywhere without my son, Enzo. And knowing your rules, you know…”

“By our rules, because of what you did, you are going to end up being dead.” I said, and she frowned. Her heart raced, and she shook her head in question.

“Neither one of you knows that I did this, you have no proof and you are coming based on a coincidence. My son is not going to be away from me, and if you don’t want him to be heir, you want to deem him a bastard, go on ahead and do so. He doesn’t need anything from what you think that you can offer.” She said, stopping me. I growled, and she raised an eyebrow. “LOOK at me, Enzo, do you fucking believe that I would do something like this? Do you really believe that I am going to hurt a child? A fire is not something that I would cause, not in a house filled with children and pack members.”

“Get the hell out of my pack.” I said, stopping her. “You and your son are to get the hell out of my pack, you are to live as rogues, and if you think of leaving the city; I will hunt you down in ways that YOU don’t want to deal with.”

“You are threatening me and my son over a false accusation? You don’t even want to…

“GET THE HELL OUT BEFORE I HAVE YOUR HEAD!” I yelled, making the woman’s eyes widen. Her heart raced and she took a step back before nodding, choosing to give into the situation.

“Gladly, Alpha Enzo.” She said, looking at Katherine. “I hope that the you got what you wanted. I am sure that this is something that you were so anxious to reach…”
