Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

“You knew of my son…?”

“Of course, I did. The child is my nephew,” Ezio said, stopping me. I knew that my question came off as stupid, but the idea of having another child that I didn’t know of, a child that Alaria, the woman who was my wife, hid from me, I was speechless. “You let her go to bring in another woman, what did you expect? For me to come and tell you that your ex wife, the woman that you forced to break things off with you, had your baby?”

“How do you even know for sure that the baby is yours?” Katherine asked from behind me. Ezio raised an eyebrow at her and she shook her head in question. “You had me giving you a paternity test to prove that Alonso was yours, and he was a lot younger than her son.”

Her heart was racing and I could tell that she was frightened, but the question that she asked triggered me more than I could let out. Her eyes were fixed on Ezio for a second and the man let out a low and warning growl. It was a while after most of the guests have gone, and though I knew she was here, Alaria was nowhere to be

seen.

“I think that you of all people know, very well, that Alaria is not the type to spread her legs for random men…”

“Considering the fact the rumors that ran around, her leaving the house, and most likely needing money and a place to stay; I could believe that everything is possible.” She said. This time, it was my turn to growl as I glared at the woman. Her eyes met mine and I saw fear in them, one that I

understood, but for her to throw such an accusation, now that wasn’t something that I was going to accept. “You asking for proof meant that you believed the same thing about me.”

“If the two of you are done bickering, you can take your leave.” Rebekah, Ezio’s mother said, stopping me before I could answer. “We have guests over and this is a respected place. The two of you are making fools of yourselves, of the pack, and of the family. Therefore, you can choose to stay here as guests who are coming to enjoy the ceremony can show yourselves out.”

or you

I looked at Katherine for a second before nodding at the woman, silently apologizing to her. The fact that I knew that she was right annoyed me. Katherine

crossed the line about Alaria, and though I did ask Katherine for the test, it was because I knew that she could play her own games for her benefit. Alaria was different, she wasn’t the type to think of games, cheating, or lies.

I wrapped my hand around Katherine’s arm, pulling her toward the door where we were met by Alonso who was now sitting on one of the chairs. Alaria had taken Ashton to his room, tending to the cut and bruise that he got after what happened between him and Alonso.

Flashback:

“I didn’t mean to…”

“What happened?” I heard Alaria ask. She was calm as she rushed toward the two of them and Alonso held his shaky hand to his lips, clearly afraid of how I was going to react to this.

“We were playing and he pushed me.” Ashton said, pointing at Alonso. Alonso shook his head, his eyes widening and his heart racing as if he knew that he had done something wrong.

“I didn’t mean to. We were…

“Are you okay, baby?” Alaria asked, her voice softening as she looked at Ashton. There was a cut on his forehead and his arm, neither one of them seemed to be deep.

“I’m hurting, manfa.” He said, and she wiped his tears before she kissed his forehead.

“How about we go inside and tend to the cuts? Then we can come back and play? You know, one always falls, gets hurt, but then comes back stronger. What is important is that you know that you will heal even after you get hurt.” Alaria said, not looking up from her son. I had to hold my breath as I read the underlying meaning of her words.

She looked at Katherine, watching as her eyes were wide on Alonso, clearly furious. with him before she shook her head. “You needn’t worry, Alonso. Whenever a warrior is wounded, they come out stronger. And my son is a warrior. I am sure that you are one too…”

End of Flashback.

“We are going to speak of what happened when we get home,” I said, stopping him. “Now, to the car. Both of you…”

“He is a child. Both children were playing as they would. Why are you taking it out on my son…?”

“He is my son, and I am to educate him as I may considering the fact that YOU are choosing not to do so.” I said, stopping the woman whose eyes widened in surprise. “Not once did I interfere with the way that you chose to raise him. But what he done is out of the line…”

“Are you defending the woman’s child now? Is that what this is about?” Katherine asked, stopping me. “You don’t even know that the baby is yours. You are not event sure that he is your son, and yet, here you are, standing against your wife to ‘educate…”

“When a Luna fails to raise her son, it is time for the Alpha to take charge.” I said, stopping her. I walked toward Alonso’s room and Katherine followed close behind, trying to stop me. It wasn’t until I walked inside the room that Katherine stood between the two of us.

“If you hurt a hair on my son’s head, I will…” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“I am not you,” I said, stopping her. “Now get out of my sight. That is, unless you want to be thrown out,”

Alonso’s eyes were fixed on the two of us, wide in surprise, and the fear that I saw in his gaze was one that I regretted. Katherine hesitated for a second, but I saw her forcing herself out of the room, leaving the two of us alone as Alonso stood up.

“Do you want to tell me what really happened? Are you ready to do that?” I asked, walking toward him. He didn’t say a word for a few seconds, clearly wanting to

think.

“I pushed him when he tried to take my car toy. He wanted to play, and I pushed him. I didn’t mean to hurt him…”

“But you know that you did,” I said, gently. I walked toward him and he looked down at his lap, avoiding my eyes. “I didn’t like sharing when I was younger too.

But when it comes to kids, especially those younger than we are, sometimes, you are going to have to share. “One day, you might be a big brother, and a big brother is going to have to teach his younger sibling how to share, but for that to happen, you are going to have to learn how not to be greedy.”

“I’m sorry, daddy,” he said, and I smiled. I wrapped my arm around him, pulling him to my chest before kissing the crown of his head.

“But we are going to have to do something about this,” I said, and he shook his head in question. “We are going to have to apologize to Ashton, and then you are going to be grounded for a week. No playing in the garden…”

“Papa…”

“I said a word, Alonso,” I said, stopping him. “For one week, there would be no garden. You are no longer a baby and you are going to have to know that mistakes have consequences, yeah?”

“Yes, papa.”

“That’s my boy.” I said, messing his hair a bit, making him laugh. He shook his head at me and I kissed his cheek. “Now go and get ready for bed. It’s already late,”

I smiled as the two of us got up from bed, knowing that his maid was going to come inside to help. I nodded at the woman as she walked inside while I held the door for her before walking out. And when my eyes met Katherine’s, she was quick to look down at her feet, avoiding my gaze.

I towered over her body as I stood in front of her, and she held her breath as she not only heard, but also processed my words, fearing the consequences that came

with them.

“The next time you think that you can tell me how to and how not to educate or treat my son, I am going to show you the way to the door, do you fucking understand me…?”
