Chapter 67

Katherine:

I sat on the floor, my heart racing as I took sight of my son, the victim of the game that I was forced to play.

Flashback:

I watched as Enzo walked out with Alaria, both of them were smiling, seeming calm.

And I knew that if this went on, they were most likely going to get back together. Whether or not I gave Enzo children, it wouldn’t matter compared to her.

I entered Alonso’s room, my heart aching for him.

I kissed his forehead, watching as he opened his eyes to look at me.

“Mama?”

“Go to bed, baby. It is still too early for you to wake up.” I whispered, running my finger over his forehead. I sat by his side, looking at him, my heart racing against my chest as I knew that this was going to be ten times more painful to me.

I sucked in a harsh breath, something that I didn’t expect. This pain was too much for me, but if not for it, I would lose everything that I fought to reach.

“I am so sorry, baby.” I whispered, kissing his forehead one more time. I walked out of his room, and though painful, I forced myself to lock the door, knowing that it wasn’t going to help me if he could run away.

“Luna?”

“Don’t disturb him,” I said, looking at the maid. “Alonso is not going to school. He is a little ill. Let him sleep in until I come to see and wake him,”

“But Luna, you locked the door. You normally forbid us from doing so…

SEMANA OURO APROVEITE OX “He is sick and I don’t want anyone entering my son’s room. I doubt that I am going to be explaining to you.” I said, and she nodded, looking down at her feet.

I nodded at her and watched as she walked away. My heart raced against my chest as I walked toward Alaria’s room as I pulled the oil tank from behind the plant that she had placed beside her door. I poured it on the carpet, careful not to be seen, before lighting a cigarette.

I closed my eyes as I took a whiff of the smoke, drowning in my pain before I threw the stick on the floor. Little did I know that things were going to be more harmful than I thought that they would.

“This is going to send you away from here. You are not going to take my husband away from me. I will not allow you to ruin my home…”

End of Flashback.

#5 “Katherine, you need to drink something,” Enzo said, catching me off guard. He put a cup of tea on the table in front of me before he sat down beside me. He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, and I sobbed, letting the pain out. The guilt for what I did. to my baby was not one that I would be able to forgive myself for.

“If anything happens to Alonso, I am going to kill her with my own hands.” I said, as Enzo tightened his arms around me. “I am going to have her head, I swear it.”

“Nothing is going to happen to him, Katherine. He is a strong boy, he is going to get out of this.” Enzo whispered, trying to calm me down. I fisted his shirt and shook my head as tears. fell freely from my eyes.

“It’s all her fault. My son is in this state because of her.” I whispered, and Enzo tensed.

“We don’t know that for sure, Katherine.” He whispered back, making me frown as I pulled away to look him in the eye. “Katherine…

“You can’t seriously be defending her in this state, Ertzo? The woman put your son on that bed. Your son barely even survived…”

“We don’t have proof, Katherine. Even the cameras were fried, and I know that I would have caught the scent of fire if it started when we were in the house. Alaria might not be the SEMANA OURO Emergency calls only U reason behind the fire…”

11:40 “You are defending the woman against your own wife when she wasn’t even around! The woman left the house early with her son! Had you not gone with her, you would have suffered…”

“Shh, baby girl.” He whispered, stopping me. He wrapped his arms around me again, tightening them around my back as he pulled me to his chest. The idea of him not believing that she was the one who did this wasn’t one that I calculated for. If he went on investigating…

“If something happens to my son, Enzo, I am not going to wait for what you or anyone says. I am going to kill her for putting him in this state. No one in the pack would dare harm the Alpha’s child. They all know the penalty to that, and they know that they can die if that happens.” I said, pulling away from his arms. “And neither one of them would benefit if something happens to him in the first place. At least, unless it is her.”

“If she has a hand in this, Katherine, then I am going to be sure that she pays for this with her life. I give you my word. Whoever has a hand in this would be paying for it with his life.” He said, looking me in the eye. I sucked in a harsher breath than I intended as I allowed his words to sink into my mind, letting me know that he silently didn’t believe that it was Alaria. And that alone was an issue to me. It was one that I knew that I couldn’t afford. “I am going to need you to rest, baby. You’ve been through a lot, and even Alonso is going to need you to rest.”

“I can’t rest when my baby is in this state, Enzo.” I said, shaking my head as I turned to my “What if he wakes up and finds me asleep? What if he needs something and I can’t…”

“I’ll be right here holding you.” He said, stopping me. I looked up at him, and my eyes teared up before he leaned in, pecking my lips gently. “I won’t move from your side and if he moves a muscle, I promise you, I will wake you up. But I need you to rest, okay, baby girl…?”
