Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Alaria:

“Anything?” Ezio asked, and I shook my head as I kept my eyes on the man’s limp body.

“He is still asleep, no reaction from him, but I doubt that this is going to last…”

“Alaria…” Leonardo said, stopping me. I got up from the waiting chair, and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug. “Are you okay? Ezio just called…”

“We’re fine. Enzo took the bullet instead.” I said, and he looked away from me for a moment before looking at Ashton who was laying on the waiting chair, using mom’s leg as his pillow.

“Alaria, you need to go to the pack and rest. I know that you are going to tell me no, but you staying here is too dangerous and even exhausting, for both you and Ashton.” He said, and I shook my head.

“He took the bullet for me, the least that I could do…”

“Anyone would have taken that bullet for you, Alaria.” He said, stopping me. “You really are forgetting how much we all owe you? But right now, staying here is only going to be more dangerous on you.”

He grabbed me by my arm and pulled me from my brother, whispering the next words that seemed like a slap that woke me up. “What are you doing? You are acting like his wife when the two of us know that you aren’t. And not only that, this is not an issue to me, but you are putting the pack heir in more danger than he already is. Yes, Enzo chose to allow you your freedom when he was awake, but if anything happens to him, then now is the time for Ashton to take his place and you as his mother to

support him. Especially when we fucking know that he is the ONE heir to his pack with a woman pretending that her son is the true

heir.”

“Ashton is a child…”

“Who is of Alpha blood, your and his father. Do not act as a weak omega and stand, act with a fucking brain. Your son needs you now more than ever and this pack is going to be on your shoulders if something happens. I understand that you might be overwhelmed, but you know as well as you know your fucking name and his that you were not chosen for one another to be lovers. You were chosen for your blood, one that you two underestimated at the time, but you will know to value and respect it now that we are dealing with enemies.” He said, making me frown. “Viktor is waiting for you out side, take Ashton and go to the pack. I am going to be here, and if anything happens, then we are going to deal with things the way that we should.”

“Leonardo, you are there for a reason…”

“I do not claim what is not mine. I will be there to protect Ashton with my life and I will train him if I have to, and God forbid that I do, but right now, I am going to need to be ready for

all possibilities, especially when I know that we have an enemy coming for us.” He said, making me frown in confusion. “Word is spreading fast about Enzo, and it is only a matter of time before the others

react, and neither one of us is going to want to deal with that, especially not you when you are going to be the main enemy that they end up facing.”

Mom looked at me as I walked toward Ashton, and lifting him in my arms, I knew to do as

told.

“Where are you going?” Ezio asked, standing in front of me. I could see his anger and annoyance in his eyes, and I couldn’t help but find myself frowning in confusion.

“She and her son are going to the pack where they belong. The child is not supposed to be here in a hospital when his father is fighting for his life. And with an enemy on the loose, I doubt that you forgot how nature works, Alpha.” Leonardo said, choosing to be the one to respond.

“He is a lot safer within MY pack. Him going there when Enzo is here, when enemies are going to come…”

“He has me by his side,” I said, stopping Enzo. “And I doubt that I was ever known to neglect him and neglect what he needed when it came to his safety. I will not start doing so now.”

“Alaria, you are acting based on emotions. You haven’t been sleeping nor eating since the man entered this infirmary…”

“I know very well what I am saying, brother. And my decision in this is final. You chose to let me go when I needed you by my side, and you were the one who told me off when I needed to find

you by my side.” I said, and the man frowned. “I doubt that you would expect me to be forgetting that, right?”

“That was in the past, and I think that I have proven to you, time and time, that I am going to be standing by your side…”

“You doing so when you know that I have gained my strength doesn’t make you a good brother to me, Ezio.” I said, stopping him. “It doesn’t mean that I am going to forget what did to me, and…”

“And yet, you managed to forget what the man who insulted you,

kicked you out, divorced you,

and forced you to come back to his house did, right?” He asked, and I shook my head. “Or is it the bullet that wiped all that from your memory?”

“I don’t forget those who harm me,” I said, glaring at him. “Just as I don’t forget those who. stood by my side when I was in my weakest state. But just as Leonardo mentioned, I didn’t marry him to play house. I married him to be a wife, a Luna, and to carry a duty that I did not value.”

“Right now, I have my son to protect, and I am not going to fail this too. Whether or not you are going to choose to understand me depends on you.” I said, taking a step back as Ashton woke up. “I have more important things to do…”
