Chapter 4
Alaria:
“Are you okay?” I asked, looking at my brother as I knew that this was harder for him than he was willing to admit.
Ezio smiled, and though I could tell that his smile did not reach hist eyes; it wasn’t something that he was going to admit. The pain that he felt was not one that he wanted ME to see.
“I should be asking you,” he said, his eyes softening as he looked at me. He cupped my cheeks, and I took a deep breath as I put a hand on his own. He brought both of mine to his lips and gently kissed my knuckles, a manner that he often did when we were younger. “You came here for me and I know how much memories this place holds to you.”.
“It is about time that he finds out about Ashton anyway. I can’t escape it no matter how much I want to, and considering the fact that my son is growing older, the last thing that I am going to want is for him to grow without at least meeting his father once. The man can decide later whether or not he wants to be in his son’s life, but I am not going to allow him to hurt him the way that…..”
“As long as I am alive, no one is going to hurt you, sorella,” . Ezio said, smiling softly at me. I nodded and looked back at my mother who stood by the door, her eyes meeting mine for a second, and though she was quiet, I knew that she was more than a little ångry with me. She had let it out more than once that she was against me not fighting against the divorce, and I didn’t need her to voice her hate. out toward it now, years after it happened.
“She doesn’t need you to fend for her. She is neither part of the pack, nor is she part of this family. I do recall her claiming that she was more than willing to start her own way with a path that she chooses for herself. I doubt that it is going to be changing now.” She said, and I looked down at my feet, avoiding
her sharp gaze. I was thankful for the fact that Ashton was in the garden, playing with two maids in the pack, getting to know how way around. The last thing that I wanted was for him to be hearing her say this.
“I was not going to fight for a man who not only cheated on me, but clearly had a child when the two of us were married or engaged. Whatever happened between him and his wife…”

“Shouldn’t have concerned you. You were his wife and could have secured both yourself and your child. But no, you chose to not only leave and never come to visit, but you chose to hide the man’s child, putting US in a difficult situation when it comes to facing facts that no one wants to deal with.” She said, glaring at me. Ezio let out a warning growl, and mom raised an amused eyebrow. “Is what I am saying not the truth?”
“Mother, enough. Now is not the time to be dealing with or talking about this.” He said, and she shook her head.
“Let her say what she wants, Ezio.” I said, shaking my head at my brother. My one back in this world, and I knew that this was something that mom wanted to change. “I would have been surprised if she hadn’t let it out of her chest anyway,”
“You are to make your way out of the pack when the ceremony ends, do you understand me? You are neither welcome here, nor is this your home. I do not care. what Ezio says…”

“Your father has disowned you when you chose to defy him with everything that he said. You chose to accept, and you are going to be suffering the consequences of your choices.” She said, stopping Ezio. The man opened his mouth to speak, but I shook my head, not wanting him to be her next target. Today was an important. day to him, and the last thing that I wanted was for it to be ruined. No matter what the cost was, he wasn’t going to be paying the price of something that he had no word in.

I made my choices long ago, and I wasn’t going to go back from them now. If anything, I knew, as well as I knew my name, that I didn’t regret them. If anything, they were ones that I was proud of.
“If me getting rid of my child was going to satisfy him; then I would rather that I be disowned.” I said, sniffing back my tears.
I looked outside the window where Ashton was on his knees, looking at a butterfly before nodding at it. “Look at him. This child out there is your grandson, and by the way, he is no bastard for you to be treating him this way. If you are going to be respecting the child who IS supposed to be a bastard due to it being a scandal of cheating…”
“He is married to the woman…”

“He was betrothed to me when he got her pregnant, and you know that.” I said, stopping her as harsh memories played in my head. “He married me out of political duty, and no matter what I did to satisfy him…”
“I doubt that you did enough,” she said, stopping me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down.
“Why am I even trying?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “You needn’t worry, mother. I am going to be out of the pack and the whole city itself if it would make you rest. But the one thing that I request of you is this; my son has met you for the first time today. Keep it as a good memory in his mind. You never know, for it might be the last…”
