Chapter 79
Enzo:
I stood I front of the window for a while, thinking, lost in the number of things that I had in mind.
Katherine didn’t make sense to me, and the idea of her lying to me the way that she was angered me more than I
could voice out..
I just needed proof, proof that I had in hand for me to be able to put her in place. Otherwise, I was just stuck with nothing but plain threats, and that wasn’t something that I wanted.
A hand, hers, was touched my back gently. I flinched against her touch, and she quickly removed her hand from
1. me.
“Enzo, you have been distant, and you haven’t been eating anything. I know that I made a mistake when I left, but that doesn’t mean that I want you to burn yourself alive inside for it. At least, even if you are angry with me, do yourself the little favor of eating something.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow at her. I had to fight back shaking my head in question, not wanting her to suspect anything, but the fact that she was LOOKING at me while lying annoyed me.
“You can leave, Katherine. Alonso needs you by his side, and I need to think.” I said, and she turned me around to
face her.
“Are you going to be angry with me for a long time? Despite the apology and despite me trying to get you to understand me?” She asked, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“My son almost died in that room, and rather than giving me ONE proper explanation…” I said, pinching the bridge
my nose. “I don’t want to say anything that is going to break your heart. Therefore, go inside the room and leave me to think, Katherine. Trust me, I am not in the right of my mind and I am not in the right state to even think to consider what you are telling me right now.”
Katherine went to respond, however, she frowned as she caught Alaria’s scent.
“What the hell is she doing here?” Katherine asked, her eyes hardening. Alaria didn’t even bother looking at her as she walked over to me. She brought me a bag, handing it to me, and I shook my head in question.
“I got what you asked me to bring.” She said, and I nodded, silently thanking her: Katherine looked between the two of us and shook her head in question.

“The woman burned the house and could have been the reason behind our son’s death, and you are calling her to ask her for…”
“Something to eat,” Alaria said, glaring at the woman. “And I think that the Alpha is well aware that I didn’t burn the house. I wouldn’t think of harming a child, a pack of innocent people, and even those who aren’t very innocent this way. I am not that cold.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Enough, Katherine. Go to Alonso, he needs you by his side in case he wakes up.” I said, stopping her. Her eyes hardened as she looked at me before she took a step back, leaving the two of us alone.
I looked at Alaria, and she took a breath, not saying a word for a moment.
“I never did ask you to bring me anything,” I said, and she nodded.
“Regardless of you being a dick last night, I figured that you could use something to eat.” She said, nodding at the bag. “How is Alonso?”
“Still in the same state. He doesn’t seem to want to wake up, and things are growing a lot more complicated.” I said, and she nodded. “Did you get something to eat?”
“I was with Bianca a while ago, but there are a few things that I heard. A rumor that is going around and I think that you might want to hear it.” She said, and I frowned in confusion. Alaria was not the type to go around listening to rumors. It was something that she was strictly against, and for her to be mentioning it was something that I knew
was odd.
“You going around listening to rumors? I should be worried if that is the state of things.” I said, and she shook her
head. “Bianca or Yildez? Which one of the ladies is it?”
“Actually, it’s Ezio.” She said, making me frown. The idea of her brother talking about something only told me that it
was most likely true. “Jacob, they say he is back, and Damon is by his side. I don’t know about Yaroslav, but if
Jacob is back, then we are going to have a lot on our plate to deal with.”
“WE?” I asked, voicing out the question that played in my head. She wrapped her hand around my arm, pulling me out of the hospital where her brother stood. His eyes met mine and the two of us nodded in respect and greeting at
one another. The idea of him choking me the way that he did was forgotten, I understood his reason, and I knew
that I would have done the same if I had a sister in Alaria’s place.
“Rumors are going around that he and Katherine could be on one side, and…
“Katherine and Jacob ended years ago, Alaria. The man has no relation to her, and she knows better than to play such a game,” I said, and Alária frowned.
“The woman was blindly accusing me of burning the house down, and you still have it in you to be defending her?“. Alaria asked, and I shook my head. I wasn’t defending Katherine, but I knew better
than to think that she would be cheating on the pack with the bastard. The wolf was going to drag her down if she was, and even she knew to be
smarter than that.
“She was accusing you out of jealousy, but this is an accusation that is bigger than you might think. The woman cheating on her Alpha…”
“And yet you cheating on her is allowed in your book?” Alaria asked, stopping me. I frowned, and she raised an eyebrow. “Or kissing me now part of your regular lifestyle?”

“I believe that I got an explanation to why you’re here. To think that I believed that you could have been genuine.” I said, making Ezio frown..
“If I was here because of something, it is to ensure the safety of the one son that you know for certain is yours.” She said, making my eyes darken.
“What did you just tell me?” I asked, and she scoffed.
“Nothing,” she said, taking a step back. “I have to go and pick up Ashton. But I am going to start suggesting that you be more careful. Otherwise, you being my son’s father, you are going to drag ALL of us in a mess that we don’t want to deal with. And trust me, when it concerns Ashton, I am not going to be very gentle.”
She walked toward her brother who was waiting for her by the car. He opened the door for her and shook his head at her, but she raised a hand, stopping him from saying whatever he had in his mind as she got inside.
“What the fucking hell just happened?”
