Chapter 106

Alaria If anyone would have told me that I would be losing my sleep because Enzo was hurt a year ago, I would have told them that they were fools. But here I was, standing, pacing around this stupid hospital hall, waiting for him to get out of the operation room.

Ezio, mom, and Ashton were here. I would leave my son away from me in Ezio’s pack house, I didn’t have it in me to do so.

“Alaria, you are going to need to sit down.” Mom said, looking at me. She got up from her chair when she saw that I wouldn’t even answer her. How could I? After what I saw, what we went through, how could I sit?

“He gave his life up for me.” I said, not daring to look her in the eye. “Damon would have shot me, Enzo took the bullet for me.”

She wrapped her arms around me, taking me off guard, and that was when I broke down. I sobbed as a child in his mother’s arms. It was something that I rarely ever did in her arms. But after everything, I knew that I was overwhelmed.

“And he would do it again for you, but you don’t have to blame yourself for it…”

“I could have left. He could have fought…”

“Damon wouldn’t have let him survive, Alaria. What you did was give him a chance. It might not seem so, but it is the reality of how the scene went.” Ezio said, stopping me. He had Ashton, who was already asleep, in his arms. And the regret that I felt was one that I didn’t understand. It was one that I hated, one that annoyed me more than it should. I knew that.

“He is exhausted.” I said, looking at my baby. “He could have been hurt too…”

“He is not, and that is what is important. Right now, you need to relax and allow yourself to breathe.

Enzo is going to come out of this, and he is going to be okay. But he is not going to want to see you weakening, at least, not in front of Ashton.” Mom said, stopping me.

“I could have prevented all of this had I not come to the ceremony the other day,” I said, avoiding her eyes. I knew that my words were directed at no one right now, but I understood that even my brother knew that I was right. Had I not come to his Alpha claiming ceremony, had I chosen to stay exiled, my son and I would have been safe. “Even if I chose to go, I should have not brought Ashton. But I didn’t think, not for one moment, that I would be put in a situation where not only was I going to be forced to…”

“Alaria, thinking of the past is not going to take you anywhere. It happened as it was supposed to.”

Mom said, stopping me.

“The way that you all wanted it to.” I said, and mom took a deep breath. I knew that she understood the reason behind my anger. And I knew that she didn’t blame for it. She was a mother too, and I knew that she wouldn’t have accepted her son to be harmed this way.

“I am going to need to get some fresh air…”

“Enzo D’Angelo….” a doctor said, walking out of the surgery room. I couldn’t help but find myself feeling as if I was stabbed in the gut. My heart raced, and I looked at the man for a moment, doubting everything that I was going to hear. This was a dream, I knew that it was.

He got up and carried Ashton in his arms careful not to wake him. I doubted that he would be waking up after what he endured today. The fear that he went through exhausted him, I knew that for fact.

“You are lucky that the Alpha is a strong as he is,” the doctor said, he was a wolf. It was the reason why Ezio chose for us to come here to begin with. “He lost a lot of blood, but he was recovering even through his surgery. He might take a little longer than usual as the bullet hit his spleen. But other than that, if he is okay tonight, then he would be fine.”

“What do you mean IF he’s okay tonight?” I asked, shaking my head at the doctor.

“He is going to be under surveillance. The surgery was somewhat complicated, and as I told you, he lost a lot of blood through it, and the bullet hit an organ. While as a wolf, he did not require us the same difficulty a human body would have, he is still going to be under close watch for the night.” He said, and I nodded, taking a seat.

“Can we see him?” I asked, sounding a little more hopeful than I wanted to.

“Are you his wife?”

“His son’s mother,” I said, and he nodded.

nly for a few minutes. And only you. When he is awake and is taken to another room, we can start allowing a few visiting hours for his family members.” He said, and I nodded. I looked at Ezio for a while, worrying about Ashton, but he nodded in assurance, letting me know that he was going to be with him.

I took a deep breath and followed the doctor, my heart racing with each step that I took as they got me ready to see him, not wanting me to have any germs that could end up harming him.

My eyes caught sight of him, and I took a deep breath, stopping myself from crying as I saw him laying there. The picture of him standing in front of me, our eyes meeting for a moment, as he took that shot for me played in my head. And I couldn’t help but tear up.

“You are only allowed two minutes, ma’am,” the doctor said, and I nodded.

I stood by his bed, his eyes were screwed shut, but he was breathing, my one consolation.

“I am going to need you to wake up, Enzo.” I said, whispering my words for his ears to hear. “Your son is going to need you by his side. And at this point, I don’t think that I can do this without you in his life.

He is going to need you to be there. I am going to need you here by our side.”

I sniffed as I extended my hand before pulling it back, knowing not to touch him. “We have our enemies to face, and they are going to be more than a little happy seeing you die. Fight and do not give up, do it for us, do it for the family that I know that you want to build.”

“Fight, Enzo, I will never forgive you if you don’t. You are the Alpha, a sole Alpha of the pack D’Angelo, and I will be furious with you, forever, if you allow yourself to give up.” I said, touching his hand, running my finger over his own gently. “And knowing you, I know for fact that you won’t give up. You are just going to need a little push. And I promise you, I am going to be that push for you. I am not going to allow you to give up.”

“I give you my word, I won’t…”
