Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

I watched as Alaria walked down the stairs with Ashton by her side.

Ashton’s eyes lit up when he saw me, and though I could tell that he wanted to approach, he stopped and looked at Alaria. She smiled and nodded, and he rushed toward me.

I got down on one knee to look at him, and he smiled when our eyes met. Alaria stayed one step behind, choosing to give us our moment as she looked down at us.

“I made this today.” He said, pulling out a paper. He handed it to me, and I frowned in confusion before flipping it to see that it was a big house.

“What is this?” I asked, and he looked at Alaria.

“It is our home.” He said, turning his attention to me. “I am going to draw you, t

mama, and me. Then I am going to draw a big garden in another paper, and I am going to draw a football. It is going to be like the one we play with.”

“You’re going to draw me?” I asked, and he nodded.

“He is going to do his project about his family members. Those that he sees as a role model.” Alaria explained. “It is one of the reasons why we came here. I wanted to ask you if you wanted to help.”

“Me?” I asked, and she nodded. She put her hand on Ashton’s shoulder, nodding at him to walk inside the living room, leaving the two of us alone.

“It’s been two days since the two of us have argued.” She said, and I frowned.

“And you find that odd?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“If anyone knows you, Enzo, it is me.” She said, and I looked away from her. “I figured that this would help you bond with him. You’ve been avoiding the house and he’s been asking. questions. While I understand that it is not my place to tell you what to do…”

“Does he really have that project?” I asked, and she scoffed.

“I am no liar. But I could have done the project with him myself. I wanted you to be involved with him because I know that it would mean something to him. At least, he would have a small memory of you, the hero that he grew to know, would be willing to help him.” She said, and I looked up to find Katherine walking down the stairs. She had her hand on her stomach, and Alaria rolled her eyes at the sight.

“What are the two of you on about?”

“The pregnant demon is here.” Alaria said, rolling her eyes. “We’ll be in the living room if you’re willing to join.”

Alaria walked away, not even bothering to look at Katherine whose eyes widened as she went to grab her arm. I stopped her by wrapping my own hand around her bicep, stopping her.

“The woman just insulted me and you are simply letting her get away with it?” She asked, and I shook my head. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you want me to do, Katherine? Hang or throw her out of the pack?” I asked, my tone a lot more sarcastic than I intended for it to be. I had to admit, even I didn’t understand why I spoke to her in such a tone, but I knew that with everything in hand, I was still doubting her. And at this point, even her presence annoyed me.

“I would prefer both, but you are not going to do anything, are you?” She asked, and I rolled. my eyes. “You’ve been avoiding me since the hospital. I am carrying your children, not only one, and the reply that I keep getting is you resenting me. While I understand that you are busy, but you could at least spend time with me. We have a lot to prepare, and I find…”

“You can prepare them. I am sure that the pack women….

“They are not my children’s father for them to be preparing things with me!” She said, and I had to fight back the response that I wanted to say as I felt a wave of anger that I knew would end up going wrong.

“I have work to take care of.“”

“Work, means him.” She said, referring to Ashton.

“He is my son. He is my responsibility…”

“As are the children that I am carrying. The ‘son‘ that you call your own was born when the two of you weren’t married. He wasn’t born within the pack grounds, and that makes him at bastard.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“Wouldn’t that be the same case with Alonso?” I asked, and her eyes widened. She held her breath for a moment, and I shook my head in question. I was crossing the line and I knew that I shouldn’t, not when I didn’t have anything in hand that proved the result that I was doubting.

“You really are playing with fire, aren’t you?” She asked, and I cupped her cheeks. She put both her hands on my wrist, stopping me from touching her before she chose to take a step back. “You can go to them. I am sure that they are going to be a lot more excited to see you. Plus, it seems to me that you enjoy their presence more than you would be enjoying mine.”

“He is a son that I didn’t live with. I doubt that you should be comparing the two things…”

“Alonso lived and grew without you for a long time, and I don’t remember seeing you treating him the way that you treat that boy.” She said, shaking her head at me. “Anyhow. I’ll be in my room. I have things to take care of, and I’ll have the girls and men start preparing the nursery. At least, I am going to need to start with the initials. You know, we don’t have that long before the children are born, do we…?”
