Chapter 37

Enzo:

“Welcome home, my love.” Katherine said, smiling at me.

I smiled back, wrapping an arm around her waist as I waited, giving her the chance to tell me what happened. I knew that she wouldn’t, but a small part of me hoped that she would. It would, at least, bring a little peace in me to think that she isn’t doing something behind. my back. Whatever the reason was, I was willing to listen.

“Hey,” I said, my voice softening as I put a hand on her stomach. The fact that I couldn’t feel the baby confused me, but I believed that it was because it was the first month or so. I was going to find out how far she was when we went to the hospital. At least, I would know how she is and would be in on the stages of my baby. “How are you? Did you get some rest?”

“All I did was rest today.” She said, smiling at me. “While I am confused as to where Alaria was; you know, being the pack Luna, I am supposed to be in on such topics, I chose to ignore the fact that she went out as casually as she did without giving any notice to where she was going.”

“You don’t need to worry yourself about Alaria, Katherine. She knows her rules as well as anyone within the pack. But for their security, things are going to take different measures. You don’t need to worry about that though. I’ll manage things with her my way. For now, what I want from you is to rest. I told you, I don’t want you being exhausted, baby.” I said, and she smiled. Her smile was brighter than it has ever been, and though I would have normally ignored any problems after the smile, I knew that this was not an option for me to take now. She had started something that I didn’t want to think of, and that wasn’t something that I would have suspected from her.

“You know that I am the pack Luna. I am trying to do my part seriously with this. It has been that way, you that, Enzo.” She said, and I nodded, choosing not to argue right now. She looked at me and I cupped her cheeks, making her look me in the eye.

“I said a word, Katherine. Please don’t make me say it again,” I said, and she nodded, looking down at her feet, avoiding my eyes. “Go and rest, Katherine…”

“But we were supposed to have lunch together….?”

11:34 “I already ate. If you haven’t, you need to. I have a few things to take care of in the office, then the two of us can…”

“Did I do something that offended you, Enzo?” She asked, avoiding my eyes. I raised an eyebrow at her question, and she took a deep breath, not saying a word for a few seconds.

“Why would you think that you did something to offend me?” I asked, shaking my head in question, waiting for what she was going to say. She didn’t respond, and I watched as she looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes in fear of my reaction.

“No, but you seemed a lot more calm before going to work. Now, it is like you’ve gone cold toward me. I feared having done something that upset you, that’s all.” She said, and I nodded. I didn’t want to tell her about the emeralds ju yet. I was going to wait till tonight to see whether or not she was going to tell me. Plus, there was also the fact of me trying to find out what she was going to tell me if I asked about it to begin with.

“I just had a bit of a long day, don’t worry.” I said, and she nodded, smiling once again. I had to fight back rolling my eyes as I took a step back, heading toward my office, leaving her in the living room.

The smile that was on my face faded almost instantly, and the number of things that played in my head were countless. But first, I was going to have to get an appointment with a doctor for her. I knew that she wasn’t going to do it, but it was going to be something that we had to start taking care of.

The house door opened, and I caught Alaria’s scent as she and Ashton entered the house. The little boy seemed ecstatic about whatever he was telling her, and I had to fight back the urge to walk out of the office to see them. Alaria laughed with him, answering to his questions and even asking him some, letting him know that she listening to every word that he was telling her. It was something that I knew that Katherine didn’t do when it came to raising Alonso.

“Do you think that I will make friends, mama?” Ashton asked his mom. Alaria didn’t say a word for a few seconds, but I could tell that she was looking down at the little boy with gentle eyes. I didn’t need to see her to know that it was what she was doing. It fit her personality perfectly, so I believed that it was going to be the situation.

“I don’t think, baby; I know that you are going to make a lot of friends. And all of them would be fighting to be your best mate to get the good out of you.” She said, her voice softening as she spoke. “I just you to remember what mama told you. There are always going to be limits between friends, and you are also going to respect them, okay?”

However, the smile was quick to turn into a frown as I shook my head, snapping myself out of the momentary daze that I fell into. This wasn’t something that I needed to do, nor was this topic one that I needed to discuss or get involved in..

I took a deep breath and pulled my phone out of my pocket, calling one of the doctors that I knew had her own infirmary and was a good friend that I trusted with her skills.

“Daniella, hope you are well.” I said when she answered.

“The last time you called me, it was about a paternity test,” she said, and I chuckled. It has been years since I’ve called her, I had to admit. But now was something different.

“You know that I am married, Dani. Calling is not something that I can do very often.” I said, and she scoffed.

“The last person that I expected to be controlling you is Katherine, I have to admit that much. But then again, I never did think that you would be leaving Alaria for her. That was another surprise for me.” She said, and I took a breath, “what did you call me for this time?”

“Katherine is pregnant, and I want to bring her to the hospital within the week to check on the baby, and if you would allow, I want you to be her doctor.” I said, and the woman stayed. quiet for a second, holding her breath. “Daniella…?”

“Yes, I’m sorry, I got distracted.” She said, and I frowned. “Of course, when do you want her to come?

We can arrange an appoint as soon as possible. All you have to do is let me know.”

“Next week would be fine, maybe Monday or Tuesday.” I said, and she hummed in response.

“Alright, I’ll be expecting a call from you to confirm?”

“Yes, of course.” I said, smiling as I looked out the window to find Alaria playing with her son. They just came back home, but the woman was giving him his time to spend and play with her. I admired it. “And Dani…?”

“Yes, Enzo?”

“It’s good to hear from you.” I said, my voice calming a bit. “We should hang out as we used SEMANA OURO 18/03 A 31/03/2024 APROVEITE Emergency calls only bia $0 100%
