    “Ezio, don’t you dare suggest what I think you’re suggesting.” I said, snapping at my brother who


    avoided my eyes. He looked down at his feet, knowing that he triggered a nerve and I shook my head


    at him. “I am not giving them my son. Not…”


    “ria, you know the rules and you know our traditions. If he asked that his son goes back to the pack


    with him and you refuse, this is something that they can punish you for. And…”


    “He is my son, and I am not going to allow another woman, especially not Katherine to take care of


    him. Do not try telling me otherwise, or I am going to end up…”


    “ria, Enzo has yet to speak to me about it, but you know that IF he does, I am going to be forced to


    submit to what he asks. If that happens…”


    “Then do not allow it to happen. Because I would rather die than think for one minute that I am going to


    be staying away from my son. The man chose to divorce, he chose to be with her.”


    “He didn’t know about the child, sister.” He said, stopping me. His eyes met mine. and I had to force


    myself to calm down as I found myself noticing that my own brother was with the man who broke his


    sister’s heart.


    “I was loyal to him. And I held the house together, I did my best not to tire him, and rather than being by


    your sister’s side, you chose his?” I asked, and he looked away from me as he took a deep breath.


    “How could you even think that I would be considering to ept this? The man is a stranger to my son,


    I am not going to send him off to someone that he doesn’t know.”


    “Then you go with him. That way, you are going to be by your son’s side, and you. are not going to be


    in such conflict. But he spoke to you, and no matter what the case is, you are no rogue. The man


    knows that very well, and he knows that if he chooses to speak to me, then you are part of his pack, at


    least his son is.” He said, and I shook my head as I massaged my temple. “ria…”


    “Please leave,” I said, stopping him. The anger that I felt was one that I never expected to go through,


    not with my brother, and the fact that he knew that

    pained me more than anything. He froze, not saying a word for a few seconds before he got up.

    “I know that you didn’t expect to hear me say this. But this is for the best, ria.” He said, looking down


    at me as I sat on the couch, looking down at my feet, shaking my legs as I did. “Let ite from you;


    you are going to save your son and yourself a lot. If hees and speaks not going to wait for a


    to me, then 7. response from you.”


    “Then you can rot in hell with him.” I said, looking up at my brother. His eyes met mine and he let out a


    warning growl. I returned the growl before standing up. “No. mother should be put in this.”


    He took a step toward me, his body towering over mine for a few seconds before he shook his head at


    me. “Do you really believe that anything in our world is fair, ria?”


    “You are my brother.”


    “I am your Alpha.” He said, shaking his head at me. “And there is a thin line between us, sister, that you


    chose to cross. Now, if you do not want to find my against you, then I suggest that you take my advice


    and follow it. Else, I am not responsible for the oue that is toe, and believe me, I will not


    hesitate for one second to stand between you and the Alpha, and you are going to be on the losing


    side. And I think that you know that I do not stand on a losing side.”


    “Get out,” I said, nodding at the door. “I don’t want to see your face…”


    “I am already leaving. You have a few hours to think rationally before things escte. And if you think


    of trying to take Ashton and run, I already have the airport and city boarders guarded. You are not


    going to go anywhere without me finding out.” He said, winking at me. “And I suggest that you keep


    that advice in mind when you choose to make your next move.”


    “And if I do not?” I asked, knowing that I was challenging the wrong man. But I was annoyed right now.


    And even Ezio saw it. The way he looked at me spoke louder. than his own words.


    The man’s eyes were fixed on mine for a second before he wrapped his hand. around my chin, digging


    his nails in my skin, bruising it. This was the first time. that he’s ever physically hurt me, and I couldn’t


    help but find myself being- shocked of it. But when he cut my skin, my blood’s scent filling my own


    nostrils,

    that was when I knew that things have changed between us. This was the end of our ‘sibling‘


    rtionship.


    “I will this as a warning to you. Maybe you are going to remember who you’re speaking to the next time


    you see my face. And trust me, I am not a man for you to mess with.” He said, lowering his voice to one


    that would have intimidated anyone who stood before him. And I had to admit, it was something that


    scared me. “I give you my word that you are going to see a face that you are NOT going to like.”


    “Let me go, Ezio.” I said, wrapping my hand around his wrist. His eyes were fixed on mine for a few


    seconds, and it wasn’t until I heard my son’s voice as he called for me that my heart dropped to my


    stomach.


    “Mama?” He called, his small voice sending shivers down my spine as I was reminded of what was to


    come. Ezio let me go before Ashton walked inside the room, and I looked away from him as he rushed


    to my son, carrying him in his


    arms.


    “Who is my little superhero?” Ezio asked, his demeanor changing quickly. I had to fight back the tears


    that almost fell from my eyes, ignoring the pain that I felt before I turned to look at my son.


    “Mama, what happened to your face?” Ashton asked. I looked at Ezio for a second, my heart throbbing


    as it thumped against my ribcage, and I knew that he could. hear how fast it was racing. I clenched and


    unclenched my fist as Ezio put Ashton


    down to rush to me.


    “Mama just fell earlier. I am fine don’t worry,” I said, my voice softening as I ran my fingers through his


    hair. “How about you go to the bathroom and have nanny Juliet help you freshen up? I’ll start preparing


    breakfast,”


    “Okay, mama.” He said, and I smiled, kissing his cheek before standing as I watched him turn to his


    room. I looked at my brother, or the man that I once called brother and he smirked.


    “Good job.”


    “Get out of my sight,” I said, and he scoffed, shaking his head.


    “You need to understand, ria; the man that is standing in front of you is not longer the kid that you


    knew before you chose to leave.” He said, and I shook my head.

    “Neither is he the man who I saw yesterday before he was announced as an Alpha to the other packs.”


    I said, shaking my head at him. “It is a shame what a title did to you, brother.”


    He frowned as he looked me in the eye before he turned to the door. His eyes. hardening when he saw


    that I was looking at him, waiting for him to leave.


    “You have until sunset to decide.” He said, and I took a deep breath. “Otherwise, I am going to be the


    one to take action and fix this mess…
