I looked around, smiling at the beautiful place. It was, indeed, a few minutes son’s school, and reaching there wasn’t going to take me a long time. If there were ever an emergency or he ever needed me, I could be there within less than ten minutes.
“The windows are amazing.” I said, looking out the city view. “It gives a spacious aspect to the place. And though my budget isn’t one that is low…”
“You don’t need to pay a high price, Alaria.” He said, stopping me. “We can make proper arrangements. I need a partner within my office too, and there are things that I could use your experience in. I believe that if we can work together, we can achieve them.”
“I prefer working on my own terms, and I don’t work for anyone…”
“I can give you shares,” he said, stopping me. “The two of us can be partners, but there are things that I am going to need to discuss with you. One of the reasons why I am offering to invite you for breakfast. We can talk over it, and you can think straight about the topic that we have in hand.”
“While it is very kind of you, but I would prefer that we talk here? The two of us
can have our discussion here within the office, and if you are interested, I can invite you over for a
cup
of coffee.” I said, and he smirked, shaking his head at me.
“You know that the day is not going, at all, as I initially planned it.” He said, and I laughed, shaking my head at him. “Give me one chance, Alaria. The two of us can enjoy one another’s presence. We can eat, talk, and we don’t necessarily need to keep it work related. Yes, I am interested in working with you, and you have no idea how much the idea. intrigues me, but I am not going to force the two of us into something that you won’t on; especially considering the fact that your ex is still a partner…”

“Enzo?” I asked, and he looked down at his feet for a second. “You’re being serious right now?”

“I thought that you knew.” He said, and I took a deep breath.

“I wouldn’t have been here if I did.” I said, taking a step back. “My apologies, but the last. person that I intend to work with is Enzo.”
“You don’t need to work with him. The two of us are not on our best terms, and I think that the two of us can make arrangements that he doesn’t seem to agree with.” He said, and I scoffed.
I crossed my arms over my ch*st before taking a step toward him. My eyes studied his. expression carefully, and I knew that he was studying mine.
“If anyone on this planet worked with Enzo once, they would know that he is not the type to reject something that would work.” I said, choosing my words carefully. No matter my anger toward my ex, I couldn’t deny his skill. “I am not going to work on something that he rejected. I am sorry to disappoint you, but if that was the reason why you planned on having me within the office, then I am going to have to dismiss myself.”
“Alaria…”
“Thank you for your kind offer, Alpha.” I said, stopping the man. “I’ll show myself out the door…”
“Aunt Alaria, are you good with science?” Alonso asked, taking me off guard as he entered.
my room.
He was in the room with Ashton, both of them with their things on the floor as they tended to their studies. I was surprised when he asked to come here himself, not wanting to bet alone. But I didn’t mind, I was more than happy to have him beside his brother. Plu Katherine was nowhere to be seen and Enzo was yet to come home from wherever he went.
“Do
you
need help?” I asked, putting my phone away, I was scrolling through, looking for a proper office to work in. It was either I found something good, or I was going to choose to work here in the house until I managed to find a proper base.
“I am lost about this topic about frogs and toads. If you can help me please? I tried to pick it
with the teacher today, but it didn’t fit in my head.” He said, and I nodded. I pat the bed.

“Can I please have your pencil? I’ll give you small pointers that would make the lesson a lot easier for you.” I said, and he nodded with a smile on his face.
The two of us talked for a while, and I wrote, drew, and even had him answering the questions in the work book to make sure that he understood the lesson well enough before he got up from bed.
“Thank you, Aunt Alaria.” He said, and I smiled.
“You’re most welcome,” I said, hearing his father’s heartbeat by the door. It was amazing that despite all the years of us being away, I still could recognize it from a distance. Alonso walked back to the bedroom with Ashton, and I smiled when I saw the two of them tending to the rest of their homework as the two maids sat, chaperoning them.
I got up from my bed and opened the door for the Alpha, raising an eyebrow.
“You could have knocked,” I said.
“I didn’t think that you would open the door.” He said, his voice above a whisper, clearly making sure not to be heard by the kids. “What brought him here?”
“He asked to be with us in the room when he found neither you nor his mother around. I wasn’t going to put myself in the situation of breaking a child, and I chose to allow him inside.” I said, and he nodded before he turned to face me.
“He has parents that you should address to or ask. You don’t see any of us taking Ashton…”
“When you spend an hour, just ONE full hour with the kids; I am not going to say no about you helping Ashton with his homework if I am not around. But you don’t even know the kid and you are complaining.” I said, stopping the man, making sure not to raise my voice. “The kids have had enough of the two of us fighting…”
The man wrapped his hand around my arm, and I was surprised when he pulled me to the bathroom, pushing me inside.
“What the hell are you doing?” I whisper shouted.

“I should be asking you the same question.” He said, stopping me. “One minute you are with my partner in the morning and now, you are roaming around my son. What the fuck are you trying to do…?”
