Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

“What are you doing here, Enzo?” Alaria asked, opening the hotel room door for me, standing in front of the door, blocking me from entering the house.

I looked at her for a moment and extended a paper bag, it was one of food. She shook her head at me and opened the door, allowing me inside.

I put the bag on the countertop before turning to face the woman. Her living in a hotel with a child wasn’t something that I liked. However, I was somewhat thankful that she didn’t choose to stay at Yildez’s place.

“You know that you can always stay in the penthouse…”

“I told you, I wasn’t going to do so, Enzo.” She said, stopping me. I nodded and watched as Ashton, who was sitting on the couch, ran toward me. I smiled and lifted him in my arms, hugging him tightly.

“Daddy!” He said, making me smile. Alaria didn’t say a word as she took a step back, and I could imagine her rolling her eyes at me.

“You aren’t giving your mom a fuss, are you?” I asked, and Ashton shook his head.

“No,” he said, and I smiled. I kissed his cheek and put him down on the floor before turning to look at Alaria whose eyes met mine.

I nodded at her to follow me and the two of us entered the kitchen. Our eyes met and she shook her head in question, waiting for what I was going to tell her.

“You keep passing by more than you should considering that you have a pack to rebuild.” She said, raising an eyebrow.

“The pack is being rebuilt, and you don’t need to worry about it. But I am the one who has to be concerned considering that you are still with my child…”

“A child that you didn’t know of for a long time,” she shot back. I looked away from her and she scoffed. “You don’t need to remind me that I am here alone with him. Trust

me,

I am very much capable of keeping him safe myself, and I don’t need you to be a reminder that I am here alone.”

“Jacob is acting out.” I said, choosing to change the subject. “He and Damon are now publically working together now, and the issue is, I know that Yaroslav was against that

happening. Whether not the man accepts it now is something that I don’t know, but I know one thing, if they are working together, Jacob is not going to be willing to share his power with Damon.”

“And that concerns me, because?” Alaria asked, shaking her head in question. “Don’t get me wrong, but I doubt that I should be concerned of what happens to Damon…‘

“Jacob growing stronger is going to be bad for us.” I said, and Alaria sighed.

“”

“You know that everything that we do is going to be bad either way. Katherine knows you more than anyone and she can make use of that against you. I hate to admit it, we are all paying the price of your stupidity.” She said, and I rolled my eyes.

“Thank you for being so blunt,” I said, and she smiled. She looked down at me and I smirked. “Do you want to get something to eat? I doubt that you’ve been eating anything lately, and I think that you would enjoy Chinese.”

“The fact that you still know what my weakness is when it comes to food is something that I find amazing,” she said, and I winked. I watched as she walked out of the kitchen toward Ashton.

“Come on, baby, you need to eat something.” She said, and I smiled. I watched as Ashton rushed to the dining table, and Alaria nodded at me. “Can you please bring the plates and cutleries from the kitchen. The two of us are going to talk about what you told me later. We are going to need to discuss how we are going to be dealing with the whole thing later.”

“I want to help,” Ashton said, making both Alaria and I smile. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Of course!” I said, looking at Ashton. I lifted him in my arms and I kissed his temple, letting my lips linger there for a moment before kissing his stomach, making him laugh. Alaria smiled and I looked at her as she set the table before I winked at her.

“We are going to have to go and get the dishes before mama gets upset.” I said, lowering my voice to above a whisper. “You know, we don’t want her to throw daddy out the window.”

“I will protect you!” Ashton said, making both Alaria and I laugh. “We can sword fight, and who wins fixes the table!“.

“Well, if mama wins, you and your dad would be doing the dishes.” Alaria said, and my eyes widened. “You have three seconds to go the kitchen, otherwise, I am going to be sure that you two…”

I ran with Ashton to the kitchen, making him laugh.

I put him down on his feet and got down on my knees in front of him, running my hand over his cheek for a moment, looking him in the eye. It was at that moment that I realized how much I lost. Whether it was with Alaria or even him. The way his eyes met mine and the love that I saw in his gentle gaze, or the life that I could have had with Alaria. The truth behind our feelings.

I looked at her through the door as I rose to my feet to pick the dishes from the cupboard, and I knew that I had a promise to make. To her and myself.

“I am going to win you back,” I whispered to myself. “One way or another, I promise you, I am going to make up to everything that I made you endure. Even if it is the last thing that I do…”
