Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Alaria

Where are you going?” Enzo asked, wrapping a hand around my arm.

His eyes were wide with surprise, but I knew that it was the way that it was going to have to be. Either he respected me or I was going to be putting him in place. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Our things are packed, and I think that it is obvious…”

“You are not going anywhere, Alaria.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow. I pulled my arm away from his grip, thankful that it wasn’t tight despite it being firm.

“And who are you to decide where I go and don’t?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest, waiting for what he was going to say. “Ashton is in the room waiting for me, and I am not going to stay in the apartment considering that the two of us cannot…”

“You just decided to leave without…”

“You are not a person that I am going to consult. Enzo.” I said, stopping him. “I was being genuine, honest, and kind. But you reminded me that YOU are one that is more than willing to just drop me for the woman any day. And don’t tell me no. If you start by bringing Alonso when he is neither your son nor safe for Ashton, I am going to be reacting against…”

“Against what? A child?” He asked, stopping me.

“Against his mother, the woman that lied to you for years. God knows how you didn’t even wonder why you didn’t feel the bond between the two of you. You didn’t wonder how things were going to be and you neither saw it odd.” I said, looking him in the eye. “I understand your love to Alonso, I respect it,

and I know that you are not going to turn against the child. But who am I to raise him? I am neither his mother, your wife, nor is he even related to my son. Hell, he holds more danger to my son than he would be holding any good, and you expect me to just say yes?”

I took a step back and he shook his head at me, waiting to see and hear what I was going to say, and I raised my hands in surrender. “You are playing the game of saint.”

“I am trying to do the one good thing that I can. After everything that I did…”

“You are taking the wrong steps toward it.” I said, stopping him. “Taking the boy from his parents is wrong, regardless of how they are. They wanted to use him to get to you, and you fail to see it. Rather than admitting that you were wrong, you are going on

ahead, burning everything that is good around you. For years, it went well for you, and now that it is falling, you are just…”

“Put yourself in my fucking shoes,” he said, stopping me.

“I took a step back when you chose to give me those divorce papers, Enzo. My feelings for you were true, I was in love with you, deeply in love with you, and I was loyal to you through it all. When I had my son, when I was with my baby, I didn’t even think of dropping him. I was making sure that I don’t lose him. I was making sure that I protect him. YOU chose to let me go, and you chose to break things yourself.” I said, and he took a deep breath.

He looked down at his feet, avoiding my eyes for a moment before shaking his head.

“I know that you might not comment about it. I understand that you are against everything that I am going to tell you right now, but I took responsibility of something that I wanted. I didn’t blame you for it,

and maybe you were saved from issues that would have broken you.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. “You can choose to want to raise Alonso or not, but I don’t expect you to take my son from me. He is my heir…”

“A heir that you called a bastard. Alonso is named your heir, I doubt that you are going to end up looking at him any different anyway.” I said, stopping him. “I am not going to allow you or anyone to hurt my son for the sake of someone…”

“Alonso is not my heir. He has his own father as a bastard Alpha. He is going to have him being an heir…”

“And you still want to raise him?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. I scoffed, and he looked away from me for a moment. He took a step back, wanting to leave, but I wrapped my hand around his arm, stopping him.

His eyes met mine, and I shook my head at the man, not wanting him to walk out.

“The two of us are going to end this conversation here and now,” I said, looking him in the eye. His eyes darkened with anger, and I shook

and I shook my head at the man, not wanting him to run away from this. “Otherwise, I am going to leave with my son, and I think that I have every right to tell you that I don’t want something to be harming my child.”

“Ashton is not going to be hurt, and I will be sure to kill anything that harms him.” He said, and I let his arm go. He/took a step back, and the man’s heart raced as I saw his pain in his eyes. The two of us looked one another in the eye, and he shook his head at me. “But don’t expect me to allow you to take my son away from me. I am not going to lose that one bond that I have.”

“Then the two of us are going to come up with an agreement.” I said, and he took a deep breath. “And I expect it to be one that would protect our son, if you want to think of considering him a son, that is…”
