Chapter 92
Alaria:
“You interfered in something that shouldn’t have…”
“If you were quiet, it means that you know very well that it is something that I had to do.” Enzo said, stopping me. “You are going to need to be safe, and I am not going to…”
“I am very well capable of keeping myself and my son safe without you…”
“Do you really believe that now is the time to have this argument, Alaria?” He asked, nodding toward the living room where Ashton was playing. Both Enzo and I were in the kitchen talking, and though I was annoyed, I knew that he had a point in what he was saying.
“I don’t know what to do, Enzo. But this conflict can’t keep going on, I am not going to allow the man to ruin the peace that we barely managed to build for Ashton and the last thing that I am going to do…”
“Don’t worry, I am not going to allow anyone to ruin that peace. But what you are doing is only going to end up being more damaging to you, Alaria. You are going to need to try and think straight and judging by what I can see, that seems to be more or less impossible to happen.” He said, stopping me. “The man is testing your patience and he knows that the one way to do it is by using your son. Yes, I know that it is low, but you are going to need to understand that it is the way that it would be happening.”
“He can rot in hell…”
“Oh, he will. I am going to be sure to drown him deep in that hellhole that he thinks that he is trying to escape. What I will not allow, though, is for you to be harmed. The man is going to do his best to try and scare you. But you are not going to allow it.” He said, and I scoffed.
“As if I am showing the fear to him, Enzo. But the man is referring to my son here, I am not going to watch as I stand back, waiting for what he is going to do.” I said, looking the man in the eye. Little did I know was that he was already planning for something. “He is going to put my son in a situation, Enzo. I can’t risk sending him to school, fearing whether or not he would…”
“If he dares harm him, then he is going to be dealing with me. And trust me, Alaria, he is not going to want to do that.” He said, and I shook my head.
“You are being too confident, and that is something that would cost us a lot. Don’t get.

me wrong, Enzo, but we are going to need to make a decision on this. This decision is going to have to be one that we….”
“And I am going to need to think for one, but…”
“You are not the only parent here, and the last thing that I am going to allow you to do is neglect that I am Ashton’s mother. Don’t get me wrong, you may be an Alpha, but I am of Alpha blood too,” I said, stopping him. “If you are going to make a decision or are going to plan on making one, the two of us are going to talk. I am not going to allow you to make one for me.”
“I am not making one for you, not against your will.” He said, and I nodded.
“Then you are going to plan what you have in mind with me. Otherwise, the two of us are going to have a problem. And trust me, the last thing that you are going to want is a problem with me right now.” I said, and Enzo scoffed.
“You know that you are directing your anger at the wrong person, right? I understand your anger, but I am not the one who is playing with fire, nor am I the one who has put you or Ashton in this situation.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow.
“Had I not been here with him, I doubt that we would have been thrown in it, would we?” I asked, and Enzo’s eyes widened. I looked away from him and pinched the bridge of my nose. “I know that this is not something that you want, Enzo, but right now, the two of us know that he is going to use…”
“You can leave if you want,” he said, stopping me. I frowned in confusion at his
statement, and he looked me in the eye. “You heard me; if you think that coming here, me meeting my son, and you…”
“The two of us know that this option is no longer applicable. While yes, I do not like the fact that things are going as they are. The last thing that I am going to do is deprive you from your son.” I said, taking his hand in mine. I squeezed it gently, reminding myself that despite my anger, I had to be human with him. The man was enough pain as it was when it concerned Alonso.
“I was never considerate about how you felt when it comes to…
“I am not cold hearted, Enzo.” I said, stopping him.
“And you think that I am?” He asked, and I smiled.
“Don’t you?” I asked, watching as he looked down at his feet.
“The two of us had a stable marriage before I ruined it. The idea of seeing you in front

of me right now, dealing with you, even speaking to you…”
“The two of us have gone through what we had to. We are who we are because of it.” I said, and he took a deep breath.
“There is something that I am going to need to ask you before we go further with things.” He said, and I frowned in confusion.
“What’s going on?” I asked. He looked back at Ashton for a moment then at me.
“Would you be willing to raise Alonso by Ashton’s side?” He asked, taking me off guard. “Blood related or not, I am not going to leave him to monsters like them. And I am going to be more than thankful if you would be willing to be the mother that I know he needs in this world…”
