Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

“You are going to need to rest, Enzo.” Alaria said, looking me in the eye.

“I am fine, Alaria. What I am going to need is for you to calm down. I am fine, and I am… ”

“You were hospitalized for a bullet that you took three days ago, Enzo. Do not tell me that you are fine, and do not go sit down, and whatever it is that we are going to have to talk about, we will. But you will have to be sitting to do it.” She said, stopping me. I chuckled and shook my head at her, knowing that she was being serious. Nevertheless, I took a seat, knowing that arguing with her wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I know that you are worried, Alaria, but there are so many things that I am going to have to deal with. And the idea of me sitting and wasting time is not one that I want. I know that it might not make sense to you…”

“It makes complete sense. You really tend to forget that I am not the weakling Luna that you would want me to be. But then again, I believe that it is the side that you saw.”

“And I believe that I am seeing her evolution right now? But last I checked, I never did say that

you we weak Luna, did I?” I said, and she smiled. “You were quiet, but you know that

the smartest and strongest. Plus, your loyalty is one that I am going to

forever be grateful for.”

“I am not loyal to you, I am just honest. It is something that you seem to fail to surround yourself with, honest people.” She said, and I sighed. “What are you planning to do?”

now that she’s

“Well, first I am going to need to explain to the elders what the situation is. Our council is not going to like this, but there is nothing that we can do about it. Katherine is deemed a traitor

been caught, and a rogue considering that she is siding with them. The one issue that we might have is the fact that we don’t know who else would be willing to side with the rogues. And if that happens, then we are in for more trouble than we can handle.” I said, and Alaria nodded in understanding.

“Those that side against us might be friends, that’s what you’re worried about?” I took a deep breath but nodded as Alaria took a seat by my side,

“We are going to manage things, don’t worry. But what I am going to need from you right now is for you to be careful about Ashton. He is not going to need to go anywhere unattended, especially when we know that this war is going to be a dirty one.” I said, and Alaria nodded in understanding.

“Judging by the way that Damon suddenly attacked and the way they didn’t even care that the hotel is one of humans; I wouldn’t be surprised if he chose to end up turning against us all. The one issue that we would be having is Jacob…

“He is alive, Alaria. And that makes it a bigger issue considering that he can end up turning Yaroslav against us.” I said, and Alaria looked down at her lap.

“The fact that despite listening to his own son wanting to plot his death and yet not reacting is what is setting me off right now. I mean, Yaroslav was literally listening to his son telling you that he would kill him. Nothing happened, though. If he was dead; we would have heard. But the man is very much alive and stable. Hell, he seems to be living his life to the fullest, and his wife…”

“Can be the reason why he chooses to stay quiet.” I said, “Sabrina has her effect when it comes to Yaroslav. And if it is Damon on the line, the woman is going to do whatever it takes to protect her son, even if it means silencing her husband.”

“But that would mean that she is danger to him too. If she is siding with both Jacob and Damon, then it is going to be contracting everything that she has done. She would have at least had the man grow with his father, but as far as we all know, she was the one who was against it.” Alaria said, and I nodded.

“Unless he chose to give her something in return for her silence. And in turn, she is holding something on him to ensure his.” I said, and Alaria took a deep breath. She pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head as she processed what I was telling her.

“This cycle is getting tiring, and I have to admit, I have dealt with a lot before, but this is going to a whole new level of too much to deal with at once.” She said, making me chuckle. “You are going to need to eat something. Then you can discuss matters with Matias, Leonardo, and Viktor. The man got here when he heard of your injury. I am guessing that he might need a little briefing considering that he was gone for a long time.”

“I am curious about how he reacted when he saw you in the pack.” I said, and she smiled.

“He already orders from Leonardo. Trust me when I say, the pack was not very happy knowing that I would be in when their supposed Luna was to be kept out. At least you explaining the matter cleared their doubts, though I doubt that it is going to solve things completely.” She said, and I nodded.

“It would be the beginning of it. The rest would come later. And I have a feeling that we are going to have a lot of things to deal with for later.” I said, and she nodded. “I’ll go and talk to Matias. We are going to have to discuss where things are going to go from here. And also ensure the announcement of Ashton being my heir.”

“The bastard heir?” She said, reminding me of the insult that I called him not too long ago. I looked away from her for a moment before shaking my head.

“My one and only heir. The son that I would claim as my own, whether or not I was alive…
