Chapter 45

Enzo:

“What do you mean by she is with Damon?” I asked Leonardo, my anger getting the best of me before I could control it.

The man looked down at his feet, avoiding my eyes, and I growled in warning, not wanting this to be a game. I knew that the man wouldn’t be lying to me, but the idea that HIS man was, wasn’t something that I would accept.

“The man waited for her in front of the school door. They both went in separate cars, but they are clearly going in one direction.” He said, and I let out a low growl. “You know that we have no right to stop them, Enzo. You are not her husband and she is not bound to…”

“You are not going to tell me what to and what not to fucking do, Leonardo.” I said, stopping my beta.

His eyes met mine and the man shook his head, knowing that I was speaking of anger. “She can’t be with another man, do you fucking understand me?”

“Enzo, she is your ex. The two of you have been divorced…”

Η “She has a son, and you know our fucking rules.” I said, stopping him. “And the fact that the man is an Alpha, MY fucking partner, now that shows the audacity.”

“You know that she is an Alpha born too, and IF she is to mate with another Alpha, our rules do not stop that. It would only make her son’s claim stronger, and you know that he would be a threat to Alonso when that happens.” Leonardo said, and I let out a low growl as I tapped my fingers on the desk. “But we can’t just stop them. You know that we are only going to get ourselves in trouble with Yaroslav, and no matter what we do, we made a deal with him.”

“Thank you for the fucking reminder,” I said, looking down at the desk.

Flashback:

“You and my son seem to have gone off on a very rough start,” Yaroslav said, smirking at 1. me.

SEMANA OURO 18/03 A 31/03/2021 Emergency calls only 5 “You knew that we would. But I am curious about the reason of your choices. The man doesn’t seem to have the experience to run the business, and he seems to treat it as one of a commoner. You know that this isn’t how we run our world, and that if this goes on, he is going to end up losing more than we will be able to gain.” I said, voicing out my confusion. I knew better than to directly question the man’s decisions. He still was an Alpha of his own ground, and he could choose to do what he wanted with what he owned.

“I want him to learn. That won’t be happening when he is sitting behind a desk or out partying. He has the ambition to see what is new, and he knows that the world outside is changing, and it is changing fast. But what he doesn’t understand is the fact that we don’t follow what goes on outside, but what we want to follow within our own grounds.” He explained, and I nodded in understanding. I knew that the man was trying to tell me that he wanted ME to be the one to explain that to his son.

“But your son seems to be more of a hardhead. He doesn’t want to listen, nor does he want to find it in him to learn OUR ways, and rather…”

“And that is why I want YOU to be the one to support and train him.” He said, stopping me. “You have learned under my hand. Your father has left you to me when you were younger than he is. Sabrina was the one to take care of Damon, refusing that I do it. I want you to be the one to help me with that, and I want him to grow in a different way that he has with his mother.”

“His mother has taught him to be kind and gentle. She did not want him involved in our world, claiming that the dirty work was to be left to me. While I understand her point, he is my heir, my son, and I will not have a pussy for a son.” He said, and I took a deep breath. I remembered a time when my own mother asked me to stay out of my father’s dirty work. She knew that it wouldn’t happen, but she also didn’t want that darkness to consume me.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be his mentor as you were mine.” I said, getting up from my chair. Leonardo looked at me and I nodded. The two of us were leaving. “But I hope that you understand that I won’t be gentle.”

“I never was on you.” He said, and I smirked. “So as long as you don’t give your back to him, the rest doesn’t matter…“‘

End of Flashback.

“Come on,” I said, and the man raise an eyebrow.

SEMANA OURO Emergency calls onlyOTO 11:36 “Where are we going?” Leonardo asked, shaking his head in question. I chuckled and put my hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently.

“Don’t worry, we aren’t going to see them. I have other things to deal with, and Alaria is the last person that I am going to be thinking of right now.” I said, choosing to hide the anger that I felt. I was going to need to find my own means to this. But for now, I would rather keep them to myself. “Neither one of us knows of this ‘meeting between them. We are going to give them their privacy, for now.”

I’ll find my own way to break their wings.

“Then what do you plan on doing now?” He asked, and I got up.

from my desk.

“Katherine,” I said, and he frowned in confusion. “She claims that Yildez had a problem. I want to go and see about it.”

“You really don’t plan on dropping the subject, do you?” He asked, and I shook. my head.

“No,” I said, recalling her words. Her claim of me stopping her from feeling independent played in my head. And if she was to raise my children the way that I want them to grow, then I knew that depending on others wasn’t something that I wanted her to teach them. “But I don’t plan on speaking to Yildez.

The woman would cover for her anyway. There is something that I have in mind, and I think that this would give Katerina was she wants.”

“Enzo, you are going to open a bottle of trouble on your head, and you don’t want to end. up spilling its content where you don’t need it, brother.” He said, and I chuckled.

“I’m sealing that bottle, fratello.” Brother. I said, and the man smirked. “Come on, we’re going to be late…”
