Alpha Enzo (and Alaria) novel Chapter 92

Katherine:

“Do you really believe that my father is going to give into you?” Yasmin asked, raising an amused eyebrow at me. “You can only dream. Even Alpha Enzo is not going to bother with you. It is not like you deserve the second thought…”

I grabbed her by her chin, digging my nails in her skin, and she spit on my face, taking me off guard.

“Do that one more time and I am going to cut your tongue…” she did it again, making me growl. I went to grab a knife only for a hand, Jacob’s, to be put on my shoulder. The man squeezed it gently and pushed me back before taking a seat in front of me.

“I am curious about what you are doing, child.” He said, and Yasmin let out a low growl.

“I am no child. I have passed the age of eighteen, and I am deemed an adult.”

“A child in many countries and laws, and in my eyes, you are not more than an irrational child who is aiming for nothing but a little fuss.” He said, and I scoffed. “But I will admit, I am admiring your passion. You seem to be the type to want to cause a problem, but you don’t understand that this problem is going to end up hurting you.”

“You are my problem, and you kidnapped me. I doubt that any law has it allowed for you to fucking do so.” She said, and Jacob chuckled.

“Kidnapped is such a big word for a girl your age. I would say that you are our guest. The one issue behind letting you roam around freely is that you tried breaking three of my men’s wrists and teeth. You also spit on my woman’s face, and I can’t have chaos roaming around my pack, can I?” He asked, softening his voice. “Be a smart girl. You don’t want to get yourself hurt, and you don’t want to put yourself in a situation where I am going to be forced to harm you.”

“You harming me is not going to do me any…”

“Trust me, child, I can break your face if I want to. I don’t want to get to that; but if you are not disciplined, I am going to be forced to do it.” He said, and Yasmin avoided his eyes. He put his finger under her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. “I will give you a few moments to think. And if your response is a yes, I will suggest that you follow the rules that I set for you; otherwise, I am not going to leave you to Katherine’s anger. Mine is going to be a lot more lethal, and you do not want to deal with it.”

“What do you want with me?” Yasmin asked, her voice trembling. I knew that it was Jacob getting inside her head. His red eyes told me that his wolf was forcing hers into fear and submission. She was going to be forced to be loyal to him, and even if she didn’t want to, she was going to be working with him until he tells her otherwise. A little slave for the rogue Alpha.

“Your father is going to be more than willing to do what it takes to get you out of here. And while I do not intend to be hard on you, I will admit that killing him is going to be an advantage to me. Matias being dead is going to weaken Enzo, and considering that you are under my care; I doubt that Enzo would be too worried about you.” Jacob said, turning to look at me. He smirked as a he turned to look at the little wolf whose body was now frozen as if, despite her heart beating, she was lifeless. Her soul now belonged to Jacob, and that was a worse punishment for her until she willingly chose to submit.

“We have a lot of plans, but first, we are going to use you as bait to guide the beta and his Alpha here. We might kill him, but that would be too easy, I am referring to Enzo here. I don’t aim to give him an easy death, and I think that we still need to get his pack under our control, something that you are going to help us with.” He said, looking her in the eye, compelling her to his own demands and services. “And you are going to help me get inside the house without being caught.”

“That is going to be impossible,” she said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“I doubt that there is anything that is impossible, Yasmin.” I said, and she scoffed.

“Leonardo is making sure that you are not going to be able to pass through the doors and gates without his and the Alpha’s permission. Even the secret doors have been filled with traps and cameras to ensure that no one gets in and out unnoticed. You getting inside is going to have you trapped, if you are lucky, or even burned alive.” She said, and I shook my head.

“Leonardo has always had his way when it came to playing with fire.” I said, smiling at her. “Much like the fire that is inside your heart. He always knew how to stir it before letting you down as always.”

She let out a low whimper before she could stop herself, and I knew to take advantage of the weakness that I saw. Considering that she was a lifeless soul, she was going to be shaped to our demands, but we were going to start with the betas. Destroying them, the right hands of the Alpha, was going to be the way to start with things. And when that happens, I was going to know how hold Enzo with what held dear. The woman that he believed would replace me.

“How about we help you get back at the man who has burned through you more than enough times?” I whispered, and Jacob smirked. “You know, there is nothing that would break a pack more than an Alpha and his betas perishing, what do you think, little wolf…?”

Alaria:

“Mama, is daddy going to come to say goodnight to me?” Ashton asked, and I smiled, laying by his side.

I wrapped my arm around him and laid him on my arm as I did when we were alone. I knew to keep him comfortable in this situation. I didn’t know where things were going to go from here, but I knew one thing, I didn’t like it one bit.

“Not tonight, baby. Your father has a lot to deal with and he went out. He won’t be back till very much later, but he still will come to your room like he used to before.” I said, and he smiled. Enzo has developed a habit of entering the room to kiss Ashton good night, even if he was actually asleep, he would come to the room, kiss his forehead and cover him with a blanket. I found it sweet of him, and by time, I knew that it was something that even I got used to seeing. There were times when Ashton would wake up, and I knew how happy he was to see his dad.

“You wouldn’t want to see your brother unless someone is dead?” He asked, and I raised an eyebrow.

“I doubt that you would expect me to want to see you, approach you, or even look at you. Then again, you tend to have no shame at times and I would expect the worse from you when it is needed.” I said, and he let out a low growl.

“You can growl all you want. It will not change the facts that we all know.” I said, and he looked away from me.

“I take it that you are acting as Luna and hiding behind the wall of the men that your Alpha has behind you?” He asked, looking at Viktor. “It is a shame that each beta seems to act as if your own brother is danger to you.”

“A man who threw me into the lion’s den when he could have protected me is no brother to me. And you need to understand that I need no one to protect me. I can, very much, protect myself. You seem to fail to realize it, and that is something that you have seen firsthand considering the fact that you knew that I was raising my son on my own.” I said, and he let out a low, clearly annoyed, growl.

“You are going to regret the decision of making your own brother an enemy for the man who divorced you, threw you out, and chose to have his mistress in your place as wife.” He said, and I took a deep breath. That was low, even for him, and I knew that he saw my annoyance in my eyes.

“And I think that it is time for you to leave. Especially considering the fact that I know and can tell that you don’t have anything that you are going to tell me.” I said, and he frowned.

“You are kicking me out?” He asked, and I nodded.

“The pack Alpha is not here, and you can visit to speak to him when he is. Until then, the door is right behind you and the men are going to be more than happy to escort you out of the pack.” I said, looking at Viktor. He nodded and pulled his phone out of his pocket to send someone, I believe that it was the gammas or deltas, a message.

“I can show myself out,” he said, turning to leave as the men approached him. Viktor nodded at them to follow him before the two of us released a heavy breath as he walked out.

“What’s going on?” He asked, and I shook my head. “The man seemed to be a lot more aggressive considering that he was the one who came.”

“Ezio likes to be superior, and he knows that he didn’t get his way.” I said, looking at Enzo’s beta. “We are going to need to make sure that all the secret gates are guarded. A heavy feeling in me tells me that we are in for a very long night…
