Chapter 10
Alaria:
I looked at Ezio who shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose as I knew that he was trying to recalculate his thoughts.
I knew that he didn’t like what was happening, but I also knew that running away from the man was not going to be the answer. I had a son, and despite not liking it, I knew that it was his baby. I just had to find a way to speak to him without the two. of us arguing about it.
“You chose to bring the child and his mother here, Ezio?” Enzo asked, raising an eyebrow at my brother.
“Safe grounds, but the last thing that I expected was to find a man who has his lines. of hotels, his wife, home, and estate to be in a hotel like this one at this time of nigh. Is the pack house under attack?” Ezio asked, choosing to lower the Alpha’s self–esteem. One thing that I knew about Enzo; the man would rather die than find. himself leaving his pack in danger.
“I am going to choose not to answer your question. But you know very well that I am more than willing to break that face of yours if you try to cross your limits with. me, Ezio.” Enzo’s eyes were as cold as ice, and I could tell that he was annoyed, but it had nothing to do with Ezio.
“Enough, both of you.” I said, nodding at Ashton. “There’s a child and we do not. want to wake him.”
Enzo looked at Ashton who was fast asleep in his uncle’s arms, and though I knew. that my brother would be more worried now, I wasn’t planning on going home to mother. I would rather stay here than go back to his pack, and that was something. that he knew and understood.
“Alaria D’Angelo,” the front desk manager called. I smiled and nodded, and for a moment, I could swear that Enzo froze, processing the name that he just heard being called. It was his last name, and I knew that it came as a surprise to him. “Your room is presidential suite. If there is anything that you might need, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We will do our best to provide you with the best.
service.”
I smiled and nodded, silently thanking her as I took the card from her before

turning to my brother. “You can leave. I will take care of things from here…”
“Alaria…”

“Ezio, I am not a child, and I think that you know very well that I have handled. things my way for a very long time. I do expect to be treated as a child now.” I said, stopping the man. I knew that he didn’t want me staying in the same place with my ex, and though I knew that even I didn’t want it; this was something that I wasn’t going to be able to stop.
“If you need anything…”
“I’ll give you a call,” I said, stopping him. He nodded, and I smiled before taking my son from him. He looked at the manager before nodding as he turned to leave, and I smiled as I looked at my little one as he lay comfortably in my arms. “Do you have anyone who can take my bags up to my room please?”
“Of course, ma’am. They will be up in your room in a few minutes. You can go and rest,” she said, and I smiled. I turned to leave only to notice that Enzo was still standing behind me. His eyes met mine and I shook my head in question, waiting for what he wanted to tell me. I knew that he had another man dealing with his own booking and that he didn’t need to wait in line here.
“You kept the last name.” He stated, and I rolled my eyes.
“It has a ring on it, and considering that I got used to it, and that I wanted to give it to our son, I believe that it was only applicable.” I said, and his eyes softened. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he spoke, his next words taking me by surprise as I didn’t understand what he was going on about.
“You called him our son.” He said, and I frowned in confusion.
“I doubt that it should be an issue considering the fact that he is OUR son,” I said, and he shook his head.
“Not at all, but the word just sounds a little foreign to my ears.” He said, and I nodded. “You know that we have to talk about this, right?”
“There is nothing to talk about. The two of us got a divorce…”
“And you chose to hide the child.” He said, stopping me, not even caring that we were in the lobby. Two women who walked past us looked at me, and I was forced to loo down at my son, avoiding their eyes.

“This is not the place nor the time to be discussing this. Plus, it has been a long night, and I doubt that…”
“The two of us know very well that you are not going to sleep. I doubt that the woman that I knew changed this much…”
“That is where you are wrong,” I said, stopping him, choosing to lie as I didn’t want him to think that he knew me. “I have nothing to think about but my son, and not you nor a thousand other men is going to change that.”
“Is that why you came…?”
“Mama?” Ashton said, breaking our conversation. I looked down at my son’s sleepy face, and I smiled, my eyes softening as I looked at him.
“Go back to sleep, baby. We are in a hotel, mama is checking us in.” I said, lowering my voice. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he looked around him before he caught sight of Enzo. Both their eyes met and Ashton’s eyes lit up as he smiled despite his sleepy state.
“I know you,” he said, and Enzo chuckled. “I saw you at the party today.”
“A sharp memory,” he commented, making Ashton smile. I looked at the man for a second and my eyes hardened. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
