Chapter 129

Enzo:

I walked inside the house, surprised to see that most of the pack was still awake despite the long night.

“Enzo?” Alaria asked, and I smiled at her. She caught the smell and sight of blood on my shirt, she was always one to notice details, and I watched as her eyes widened in surprise. “How…7”

“It is not my blood. You don’t need to worry,” I said, stopping her from asking a question. “it is Katherine’s. The two of us encountered one another, but didn’t kill her. Alonso can’t lose two parents on the same day, and it is not something that I would be allowing right now.”

“Are you okay?” Alaria asked, lowering her voice to above a whisper. I knew that she was being genuine with her question, and though I couldn’t help but find myself being thankful for it, I didn’t know how to answer her.

I To say the least, I didn’t want to t to hurt her, and I knew that my re response might.

“I’m fine,” I said, choosing to be calm with my answer. She kept her eyes on me, but she didn’t say another word to press on the subject. “Where is Ashton?”

“Asleep. Yasmin as well. Everyone is settled, and lordered that the pack is guarded. Every child and elder has two maids in the room for their safety and one g a m I looked at Leonardo for a moment, and the man nodded, knowing that the night has been long for all of us. This was one of those nights where I just wanted things to end. I didn’t know how they would or where they would be going, but I know that it just needed to end.

“Do you want to get something to eat? You’ve been out..

“I’m going to shower. I’ll eat in the morning.” I said, stopping Alaria. She didn’t say a word, but she nodded as she took a step back, giving me my space.

“You go and talk to him. He would listen to the two of you more than he would me I heard Alaria say as she spoke to Viktor. She walked toward the living room, and I knew that this eerie night was yet to end.

Our enemies were not going to rest and if Jacob was dead, I was going to have to deal with not only Katherine, but also Damon. And if I wasn’t lucky, even Yaroslav would be on his son’s side at this point. It would be the one way to explain his disappearance.

“Alpha…

“We are going to need to end this war. There are so many thing that are in stake at this point, and I don’t aim to wait until we’ve lost our pack members and family before I’ve acted.” I said, stopping Leonardo.

Jacob’s words played in my head. Something was going on with Alaria’s family. At least, it was what he implied.

“Ezio passed by, Alpha.” Viktor said, and I took a deep breath. “Alaria is doubting him. Something about the man was off, it was something that I could give her, Neither one of us understood the reason behind his behavior, but he seemed to want Alaria to follow him, to come with him somewhere where ! wasn’t. When he saw that I didn’t comply, he grew furious.”

“Did he say what he wanted?”

“He threatened and challenged, but it was as far as he went.” Viktor explained, and I nodded. I looked away from the man for a moment as I got lost in thought. The man couldn’t have gone as low as to side against his sister too. Not when I knew that he stood by her side for a long time.

“If he approaches the pack grounds, I want to know.” I said, and Viktor nodded. “The tunnels?”

*All have been filled with traps. Anyone who enters is not going to be able to get out. And those who do enter are going to be burning alive, some of them have an oxygen blockage. If the door opens and closes, they would suffocate inside before they could make a second move.” Leonardo said, and nodded. It was something that I was thankful for, the progress that we were making.

I opened the door to Ashton’s room, and the two maids who were assigned to keep him safe stood. One by the window, the second beside the closet. They nodded at me, and I nodded back before walking inside to check on my son. Both my betas stayed by the door.

I looked at my child’s peaceful body as his chest rose and fell, and I couldn’t help but smile before putting a hand on his cheek, feeding his warmth. I got into his head, giving him a dream that I knew that he would love. A dream that even I wished would come true.

W!Dream beginning:

“Daddy…” he said, making me chuckle as I lifted him in my arms, twirling him around before hugging him tightly. I kissed his cheek before pulling away to look at him.

“Your mom is going to be waiting, and you are have been tiring her today.” I said, playfully scolding my boy.

“No, I haven’t. It is Mia. She doesn’t sleep and just cries a lot. Mama stays with her all the time.” He said, and I chuckled.

“Mia is your little sister, son. You, as her big brother, should keep har safe. She looks up at you and she would know that you are her big brother. But you know, for her to know, you have to be her back. And that also means that you need to help your mom.” I said, walking toward the house as I held him in my arms.

I looked at Alaria who smiled when she saw us before leaning in and packing her lips. She smiled into the kiss before I pulled away and put Ashton down to kiss our daughter’s forehead.

“Welcome home, my love.” Alaria said, and I purred.

“It feels good to be home, neonata…”

End of Dream.

I looked at my son for a moment, running my fingers through his hair gently. “No matter how long it takes, I give you my word that I will fight, until she asks me to stop, to make this dream a reality.”

“I give you my word, son…”
