Chapter 41

Enzo:

I watched as Alaria walked toward Ashton, wrapping her arms around him, pulling to her chest.

His eyes were fixed on me as she hugged him, and Alonso, who was standing behind him took a step back before walking out of the hall without saying a word.

“Alonso…”

“Alpha,” Bella called me, and I turned to face the woman. I was shocked and worried, and I had to admit that I didn’t know what to do. She was quiet for a few seconds, taking in the scene in front of her before Alaria walked out of the room with her son in her arms. I knew that I had hurt her arm, but she didn’t even bother to comment about it. She just walked out without saying a word.

“How is she? The baby?” I asked, and she took a deep breath before nodding.

“They are both fine. She is going to need to rest and make minimum movements for a while. Going out of the house is going to be a little hard for her as she is still in shock of everything. We don’t need to stress her with anything and she needs to focus on what she eats and drinks.” She explained, and I nodded. I looked at the room door for a second before shaking my head in question.

“Can I go inside and see her?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“She asked to sleep. We have her medicine to do so, but she should be fine in the morning. For tonight, we can just leave her be to rest. You know, she seemed to be a little shaken up and any nervousness can be bad for her tonight. Please, just leave her for one night.” She said, and I nodded, taking a step back. The idea of hurting my child was one that I didn’t want. But her lies to me were ones that I knew that I couldn’t forgive easily.

“We have a doctor’s appointment later this week. She is going to need to check on the baby and her own wellbeing. Do I need to bring a wheelchair for her? Or is she going to be able to walk to the car?” I asked, and she frowned. Her heart raced and she wrapped her arm around herself, shaking her head in question.

11:35 “Do not get me wrong, Alpha, but it is on rare occasions that an Alpha chooses to have his mate go to a doctor for a checkup. You know, with our wolf children being different…”

“Daniella is a wolf herself. She can check on her and see how she is. She won’t be concerned nor would she be worried. She is also going to give us everything that she is going to need during this pregnancy. After not being pregnant for a long while, I am sure that she is going to need a little extra care and I want it to be given to her full.” I said, and Bella nodded, choosing not to comment. I looked at the woman for a second then at the door. The doctor clenched her fist over her arm, tightening it until it turned red, but she took a step back.

“Do you need anything from me, Alpha? As you know, I am going to need to check on the Luna.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“You are yet to answer my question,” I said, and she frowned in confusion, seeming a little distracted. It was unlike her to be distracted this way. I knew her well enough to know that one of the reasons why we hired her was the fact that she was mostly focused on everything that she did.

“I’m sorry, which question, Alpha?” She asked, gulping as she waited for my response.

“Would she be able to walk? Or should we bring a wheelchair?” I asked, growing somewhat annoyed.

She shook her head, putting on the best smile that she could before clearing her throat.

“No, no, up she is going to be able to walk. She just needs to keep it at a minimum, and you are going to need to be careful of stress during this period. You know, you don’t want to end with her getting hurt or the baby either.” She said, and I nodded. She turned to leave and I looked at the door for a second, shaking my head in question before I turned to walk to the living room.

I needed to speak to my son. This was the last thing that I expected to happen. But then. again, I didn’t even understand how they managed to come here when they were supposed to have maids taking care of them.

“But he hurt you, Aunt Alaria.” Alonso said, his voice holding more fear and pain than I ever heard.

“Not at all. Your father and I were talking. The two of us have our own way of discussing things when we tend to want to show our power. He was teaching me how to do a trick to SEMANA OURO 19/03 A 31/03/2014 APROVEITE Emergency calls only D100%

11:35 pin my enemies down. You know, I am an Alpha blood too, and learning such skills is often important when it comes to combat.” She said, her voice so gentle that a crying child would have calmed down.

“You have a bruise on your arm, mama.” Ashton said, making me take a deep breath as I tried to control my own anger with myself. I didn’t know how I was going to explain this to them. Whether or not they would even be willing to listen to me at this point.

“I gave him one too. He just tends to heal a little faster than I do. You know, the Alpha is very strong and he has his own powers of healing. I don’t have them though,” Alaria said, her tone calm and content.

“But you are an Alpha blood too,” Alonso commented. “Shouldn’t you heal just as fast?”

“Not really, no.” She said, and I walked inside the room, standing by the doorframe as I looked at them.

The kids and Alaria were sitting on the floor as they spoke. She looked up me for a second before looking down at them, not letting them notice my presence here. “As a mother, I would carry a child inside me. That is something that a man doesn’t do. To keep my child safe and strong, I tend to be a little weaker. That means that you two will be healing ten times faster than I would, making you as strong as the Alpha when you grow older.”

“We are going to be strong like the Alpha?” Ashton asked, and Alaria smiled.

“You are both of Alpha bloods. You need to be strong and you act upon it. When you grow older, you are going to be training, and that training is going to make you two a lot more powerful. But are going to need to be wise with the strength that you have, merciful, and kind.” She said, looking at the two of them. “Real power and strength come from within. Mules can end up fading but when you are strong inside; that makes the difference.”

you “When I grow up, I want to be like you mama.” Ashton said, and Alaria smiled.

“Me too,” Alonso said, making my heart drop as I heard and processed his words. “I want to be as kind and smart as you. It doesn’t matter if you are weaker than father. I want to learn.

from you, Aunt Alaria.”

She opened her arm, allowing him to walk toward her as she hugged both kids. She didn’t even look at me as she kissed both their cheeks.

11:35 “You don’t need to worry.” She said, her voice softening. “I’ll be sure to be the role model that you want to see. I give you word on that, but you are going to need to promise. something too.”

Both kids pulled away from her and I watched as they looked her in the eye, waiting for what she was going to say. The fact that she didn’t even show them that I was here told me that she wanted me to leave. I understood her reason; I was curious about what she said. However, regardless, I took a step back, stepping behind the door.

“You two are not going to let the power that you will blind you. You are not going to harm those who are weaker. And most importantly, you are going to have the mercy that everyone wants to see in their Alpha. Can you promise me that?” She asked, softly. A promise that I knew that I wouldn’t have asked them to make.

“Yes,” Ashton said.

“I promise.” Alonso responded. I took a step back and turned to my office where my eyes. met Leonardo’s. My beta shook his head in question and I took a deep breath as I tried to control the anger that I felt.

“Alpha…”

“The two of us are going out,” I said, and he frowned in confusion. Is eyes studied my expression before he took sight of Alaria being with the kids alone and Katherine not being. in sight.

“Is everything alright? You told me that you had a date…?

“I said a fucking word.” I said, stopping him. “The two of us are going out.”

I walked toward the door, not even bothering to wait for him.

“Enzo, what the fuck happened?” Leonardo asked, wrapping a hand around my arm, stopping me from going anywhere as the two of us walked out of the room.

“Katherine lied, almost lost the baby, and the kids saw me arguing with Alaria. Do you want me to go on?” I asked, and his eyes widened in surprise. He took a step back before looking at the door.
