Chapter 21

“Mama, do we have to go to the new pack?” Ashton asked, clearly letting me know that he wanted to go home. I knew that this sudden change was going to be one that he was going to have to adapt to, but I had no other options. There was a lot in stake, a lot more than he will ever understand.

“Do you not want to go?” I asked, and he shook his head, making my eyes soften. I got on my knees in front of him and shook my head in question. “Is there a reason why you want to stay back?”

“I don’t know where we are going and I don’t know how people act in a pack.” He said, making my eyes soften. The fact that he was open about his feelings with me, not afraid nor worried about exposing what he felt was something that I was thankful for. It showed me that at least, with my son, I did something that was right.

“They act as a big family. One day they tend to sit together on a table, have big celebrations, birthdays too. You don’t even need to invite anyone to your house. Everyone is already there by your side and they are more than willing to sing for smiling you too.” I said at him. His eyes widened in surprise and I took his hand in mine, gently squeezing it.

“You don’t need to be scared, baby. You just need to trust that mama is not going to take you somewhere where you would be harmed. If anything, if I am taking you there, it is to have a big family when you grow up.”

“We’re going to stay in the pack when we grow up?” He asked, and I laughed. I nodded, ignoring the pain that I felt. The idea of being with Enzo in the same place for too long was not one that I wanted, and watching him with Katherine was only going to be a reminder of what happened between us. It sickened me, but I knew better than to complain right now. At least, not in front of my son.

“We are going to have a big family when you grow up. And then when it is time for you to shift, you are going to do it within your pack. You are going to be free to run, play, and even train with the other wolves like you want to.” I said, and his eyes widened as he grew a little. more excited and a lot less hesitant. “I just need you trust that mama is not going to harm you, okay? I am going to do everything that I can for you to be happy, safe, and in a well guarded place. It is mama’s goal for you, you know that, right, baby?”

“Yes, mama.” He said, and I nodded as I got up to check the bags one final time. I knew that many of our things weren’t even here, but I also knew that I could buy new ones. I was just going to have to find a way to keep those that I left well maintained until I was able to bring them back to the Estate. But considering that the house was ours anyway, I didn’t need to worry about it. The maid was going to be choosing whether or not she wanted to come. If not, then she could leave the job as it is. If she chose to come to us, then it was going to be an advantage to me. At least I would have someone that I knew.

The one thing that I didn’t know was where we were going to be staying in the first place.

Surely, Enzo wasn’t going to make me live with Katherine under the same roof, right?

We walked out of the house and I put my hand on my head, hugging him as we entered the elevator.

His eyes met mine and he smiled, and despite the heavy feeling that I felt, I nodded and smiled at him.

My eyes met my brother’s. To my surprise, the man stood in front of me with no shame and it took every bit of instinct in me not to snap at him after his previous act the other day. The man believed that he would be getting away with it, but for now, I had things to take care of. I was going to know how to deal with him later.

“I take it that you chose to make the right choice.” He stated, his voice as cold as ice and his eyes meeting mine. I had to force myself not to respond to his rudeness. Reminding myself that my son was standing beside me. “Good, I take it that you even learned your lesson.”

“Uncle Ezio, are you going to come with us too?” Ashton asked, and Enzo smiled as he got down on one knee to look at my son. He took his had and kissed his knuckles gently.

“No, little one. I have my own home and Estate, but you are more than welcome to visit if you want to.

You know, provided that you go to school and do well.” He said, putting on the mask that even I fell for.

The idea of my brother physically harming me was not one that I swallowed easily. Yes, the scars and bruises healed, thankfully. But the pain that he left in chest was not going to be one that is going to heal as easily.

my ‘Say hi to mom. Tell her that her daughter is going to be staying based on your decision.” I said, watching as the man stood straight to face me. His eyes were fixed on mine and I looked at Ashton for a second before voicing out the words that have been threatening to escape my lips since he’s hurt me.

“The next time you think of harming me, brother; I am going to be sure that you are fed your cock.”

My voice was above a whisper, but I knew that he heard me. His eyes that darkened told me 7–Night Highlights of New Zealand Package BOOK X 100% PURE Emergency calls only $0 100%

“Who the…?”

“I don’t have all day to wait,” Enzo said, stopping my brother from completing his sentence.
