Chapter 29
Alaria:
“Come on, Ashton, you need to shower.” I said, laughing at my son’s playful demeanor.
He was hyper considering that he just won in the imaginary football game that he was playing. I had to fight back showing the pain that I was having in my neck and chin whenever I moved my head. Even speaking was hard, but I knew better than to show weakness to my son. It was one of the disadvantages of being a mother. Not showing your child that you were in pain when you were.
He chose to want to run away from me again, making me laugh before I carried him, holding him over my shoulder. He laughed our loud, and I shook my head at him, it was something that reminded me of Ezio. My brother used to give mom a fuss when we were kids too.
“Okay, we make a deal, you shower and eat your supper, I am going to tell you a long bedtime story. That way, you get extra waking hours and a long story.” I said, and his eyes. brightened.
“Can it be about the hero that left his family?” He asked, and my eyes softened. “We stopped at the part where he saw his family for the first time,” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
I had to fight back the tears that almost formed in my eyes. It was the story that I often told him about Enzo. That he was the hero that left his family on a mission. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that he chose to kick me out to be with his mistress at the time.
“Alright, deal.” I said, looking at the door as I caught Enzo’s scent and heard his racing heart. I didn’t react though, he didn’t deserve it to begin with. I wrapped my arms around my boy and took him to the bathroom where I had his tub filled with bubbles and warm water. “So, which character do you want to be in the bath today? Is it the sailor or the diver?”
“Can I be both?” He asked, and I nodded. Running my finger over his cheek as I looked at him, my wolf and his baby one connecting in a way that bounded the two of us forever. It was a special bond between a wolf and her son, especially as an Alpha born, and I knew that he was to grow a strong wolf. One that I was going to be proud of.

“As long as mama is by your side, you can everything that you want. All you have to do is ask…”
I walked out of the room, thankful for the fact that Ashton managed to get some shuteye.
He was asleep halfway through the story, as I expected, and I couldn’t help but find myself smiling at the contentment that he was in.
Two maids were by his side while I was roaming around, needing some fresh air and time alone. It was painful for me being here, in the place that I once called my home.
The number of gatherings and galas that we held in this place were a reminder of how bright this house was. And though it was an arranged marriage. I was always sure that the
two of us were seen as lovers.
Flashback:
“I am in awe at how the two of you are holding onto one another like you are. It is almost like you’re inseparable!” Yildez commented, looking at Enzo and L. Enzo had his arm wrapped around my waist and I put my hand on his chest, kissing his cheek before looking at the woman when he smiled. “Look at these love birds, why can’t we have the same relationship?”
Bianca, who was sitting by the bar, took a sip of her cocktail before getting up from the chair.
“None of us would have their relationship. These two, without kids, seem to have a stronger relationship than most of us would, and we are mothers.” She said, looking at Yildez. Their husbands shook their heads, and I couldn’t help but blush when Enzo lowered his hand to my bum, gently squeezing it. It was one of our good days, one that made me forget that there ever was a woman in his life during our engagement. Then again, by that time, we had already passed that dark phase in our lives.
“Your relationship flourishes here in front of us and we end up with more trouble than we can handle at home. You know, Enzo, it is time for you to teach us how you do it. One of the men said, and Enzo chuckled. “At least you would spare us the fuss whenever we go home, don’t you agree…?”

“The story that Ashton was referring to…” Enzo’s voice broke through my thoughts, taking me off guard, causing me to jump. I turned to face the man whose expression was calm, almost content too. “It was about us, wasn’t it?”
“Not everything revolves around you, Alpha Enzo.” I said, choosing to lie. The man’s eyes hardened, and I nodded at the front door. “I am going to go to the garden, do you have any rules against me getting some fresh air within your grounds? Or are you going to end up choking me again?”
“You called my son a bastard, did you expect me to let you go with it?” He asked, and I raised an amused eyebrow.
“I didn’t tell him that he was. I spoke to his mother, and the woman knows very well, that he is. If you want to admit it, then it is up to you; but that doesn’t change the facts, Alpha.” I said, and he growled.
“Mind your tongue…
“Then don’t approach me if you can’t handle what my tongue would say. Because I am going to speak only the truth, and judging by your behavior, you can’t seem to take it.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. “But I am going to simplify; I came home, pregnant, with another man’s child while being engaged to you. I gave birth to that child, and years later, I come home to my mate and tell him that this baby is yours. Please accept my child who was raised as another man’s and who is going to be with…”
“Alonso was never raised by another man. Katherine never had anyone in her life after we…”
I need to..
“And you really believe that, Enzo?” I asked, letting out an amused laugh. “You of all people know how your mate is, anyhow, I won’t be arguing with you any longer. If you don’t mind, some air. But I think
that you need to go and investigate about the woman you. call a wife. Because you clearly don’t know the type of person she is, or maybe you do; you’re just too arrogant to want to admit it…”
