Chapter 79
Alaria:
“We are going back to the Estate to ch*ck on Ashton before we do anything. He must be surprised to have been left somewhere where I wasn’t,” I said, and.Ezio chuckled.
“He is with his grandmother, in his uncle’s pack. I understand the feud between you and mom, but she is still is grandmother. She wouldn’t hurt him,” Ezio said, and I nodded, looking out the window as I got lost in a number of thoughts.
The fact that I could have told Enzo about what I learned, and the fact that I stopped myself mid-sentence played in my head. I didn’t even understand why I did. I just knew that I couldn’t bring myself to tell him, I couldn’t break him, not this way.
“Do you want to tell me why I didn’t know about you and Enzo k*ssing, sister?” Ezio asked, breaking my train of
thoughts.
The fact that the ba st ard was waiting for us at my son’s school and had the audacity to even threaten me as causally as he did annoyed me. And though I knew better than to mention that in front of Enzo when Katherine could easily hear us, I hated to admit that I was far too angry to think straight right now.
“Because it was my biggest concern, k*ssing my ex husband when the man who was one of the main causes of everything that could be considered a mess…”
“The man could have been lying. Katherine is not going to be too stu pid to bring in another man’s son to Enzo’s pack as his own son. Nevertheless, I doubt that Enzo didn’t take a paternity test to prove that he was his son. Now, I am curious about the fact of this being something that annoyed you as much as it did.” He said, and I
scoffed.
This wasn’t a lie, Damon wouldn’t talk about it only for his older brother to mention it a few hours later…
Flashback:
I walked toward Ashton’s school, knowing to stay close considering the fact that he could be leaving at any given moment judging by the day being as short as it was. And judging by the long morning with Bianca, I knew that he would be out soon enough.

“You are more beautiful than my brother made you out to be,” a voice said from behind me. It was a man’s voice, a deep and raspy one. I didn’t turn around to face him, but judging by his scent, I knew that he was an Alpha blood, a rogue Alpha.
“Ah, you don’t turn around to look at strangers, do you?” He asked, walking toward me. His eyes met mine and I couldn’t help but notice how different he looked from his brother. His muscles were more prominent, and he was a lot stronger.
“Jacob Petrov, the ba star d wolf of the Petrov family.” He said, making me suck in a harsh breath. “I take it that you already know who I am,”
“What the f ucking hell do you want from me?” I asked, and he smiled.
“A little bad mouthed. Your temper does beat you, but then again, I knew to be careful. My brother has already given me a warning about how short your temper can be. It is me who chose not to believe him.” He said, and I scoffed. “What I am here for is simple. You and your ex have something that belongs to me, well, your husband does, but you made sure to stay out of it enough to be involved.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, and he smiled. His smile didn’t reach his eyes and the dark aura that emitted from him told me that he was aware that his presence wasn’t one that I found appealing to be around. Hell, I wanted to be anywhere but around him right now, but I knew to be calm. The idea of catching more attention than necessary was not something that I wanted.
“You know that my son lives in the D’Angelo Estate, and considering the fact that your ex husband had him and my woman, I figure that it is my turn to be taking something that belongs to him.” He said, making my eyes harden. “A son for a son, and a woman for another.”
“I am neither his woman and if you think of laying a finger on my son, I am going to…”
S
“Save you threats to someone who would be willing to listen to them. Trust me, little wolf, it is not me.” He said, angering me more than I already was. “My warning is simple, to both you and your ex. You either give me my son and woman or I will be sure to make him regret it.”
“You can face him, why are you choosing to face me?” I asked, and he smiled.
“You are not for me, but I am in need of an heir, and my brother finds you attractive. While he cannot do the job in getting you to like him, I figured that I would be doing things my way. You can either accept it or not, I did not really bother thinking of asking for your opinion.” He said, taking a step back. “I will see you around, Alaria. I believe that the two of us can have a very intriguing conversation later…”

“Katherine is indeed the coward that none of us knew about, but if she is one thing, she is manipulative. She can do what she wants to get what she wants, and I do not doubt that she could be innocent of this ONE thing, but two different men have mentioned it.” I said, and Ezio nodded.
“Why didn’t you tell him? If you’re so sure about it, why didn’t you…?”
“If I have no proof in hand, he is going to think that I am playing a game because he k*ssed me. The issue isn’t him thinking that because he k*ssed me, it is because it could put Ashton in a difficult situation in the future. And the man is already worried as it is…”.
“Why don’t you just admit that you are still in love with him, Alaria?” Ezio asked, stopping me. “And don’t tell me that you are not.”
“Because if I know you any better, sister, I know for f ucking fact that you are still in love with the man.” He said, “what I am curious about though, is why you are failing to admit it to yourself?”
“Why won’t you accept that you know that you are still in love with him…?”
