I stayed quiet, looking down at my feet for a second before I walked out of the room.
I didn’t even know how I was going to face my son. Having heard that he had a brother, meaning that
he was the Alpha’s son, I didn’t know how I was going to manage things. But I knew one thing, I wasn’t
going to let this slide.
I walked toward Katherine and Enzo’s room. My anger fueled actions, and I knew that I was going to
end up doing something wrong.
I entered the room, catching the woman’s scent in there, and she raised an eyebrow when she saw me
walking inside.
“You really dared enter the room without knocking on the door?” She asked, and I scoffed.
“You really are asking such a question, questioning my morals, when you clearly have none?” I asked,
shaking my head in question. She let out a low growl, and I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I want to
understand what the hell you were fucking thinking, telling an eight year old that I called him a
bastard?”
“Well, you were acting all gentle and genuine; I figured that it would be best for him to find out what you
really are.” She said, and I let out a warning growl.
“Be careful. I am not a mistress for you to be ying this game with. I am an Alpha, and regardless of
what you are going to say, I am of a higher rank. You are forced to respect me, whether or not you are
an Alpha’s wife.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow at me. She raised a hand, wanting to p me, and I
was surprised by the hand held midair.
I looked at Enzo, my eyes widening as he let out a low growl.
“What is the fucking meaning of this?” He asked.
“You can ask your mate here why she chose to tell her son that I called him a bastard.” I said, and his
eyes widened. I pinched the bridge of my nose, and shaking my head, I looked away from him for a
second. “Ashton just found out that he is your son. We are going to

have to deal with the consequences of it. I am going to have to exin things to him and I am going to
have to make him understand why I didn’t tell him.…..‘
“YOUR son is the bastard here…”
“Katherine, enough.” Enzo said, stopping his wife. I didn’t say a word for a moment, trying. to find the
right words to say. My blood boiled and I was angry, but I knew that I was going to have to be careful
with my words.
“He is a kid,” I said, taking a step back. “He asked me to be the mother that you aren’t. He imed that
you don’t have time for him and he wants someone to give him a chance. It seems that your jealousy is
blinding you enough to forget that he is a kid.”
I took a step back, not allowing her to think of what I said to respond. I was lost and in pain, and
catching sight of Alonso, my heart dropped when I saw him crying
On his bed. I didn’t know what to say to exin it to him. But I knew that I didn’t want him to be broken

ΠΟΥ.
I walked to the room and my heart raced against my chest as I sat by his side. He didn’t say a word.
The two of us had our backs resting against the bedrest, and Alonso wiped his tears from his eyes.
“Please go,” he said, and I nodded.
“I will,” I said, gulping. “But there is something that I want you to hear from me. I don’t want to create
this gap between siblings, and I don’t want to hurt you. It was never in my intentions.”
“You called me…”
“I didn’t mean it,” I said, stopping him. “I was angry when I came back to the house. I had a baby by
myself. Something that your mother knows well. There was a lot going on at the time, and I couldn’t tell
your father about it. I hid my son for years, and when I was put in a difficult situation, I acted without
thinking. I shouldn’t have, and I am sorry.”
I closed my eyes as I fought my own tears from falling from my eyes. Speaking to an eight year old has
never been harder than it is right now. “I am sorry for hurting you and I didn’t mean it. It was one of the
reasons why I was trying to bring you close to Ashton. I wanted. the two of you to grow as siblings
before I was able to exin things to you. I knew that

would be listening to me, but I didn’t expect it to fall as a bomb on the two of us.”
Alonso didn’t say a word as he kept his eyes on the ground.
“Adults can be mean sometimes and when we are angry, we might not think.” I said, wiping my own
tears. “If you think that I am lying to you, I will not me you. I never can. But I want you to understand
that I never meant to hurt your feelings. When I got to know you, never thought, not once, of making
ONE tear fall from either one of your eyes. I would have made sure that no one broke your smile. Just I
like I would do to my own son.”
“But you don’t like mama,” he said, and I nodded.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
“I will not lie to you about it; I don’t.” I said, shaking my head at him. “But children should never pay for
their parents‘ actions. I made that mistake by throwing my anger out on you when you didn’t even know
me. I didn’t and still don’t know you well. I still shouldn’t have thrown it, and I am sorry for doing so.”
“Mama says that you want to take everything from me.” He said, and I turned to look at
him.
“Thest thing that I ever cared about was what your father had to offer me,” I said, shaking my head. I
wiped my tears then slowly extended my hand to his cheeks, gently wiping his
tears.
“I loved him, and the one thing that I ever wanted was for him to love me back.” I said, and he frowned
in confusion. “I would never try taking what is yours. Nothing from it, I promise you.”
I kissed his forehead, thankful that he allowed me to speak to him before getting up from the floor. My
chest ached, but I knew not to test my luck anymore than I did.
“Thank you, Auntie ria.” He said, and I smiled.
“You’re wee, kiddo.” I said, opening the door. I went to walk to my room only to turn to look at Enzo
who stood by the door, making sure not to be seen by Alonso.
“Is there anything that you want to tell me?”
“You used the past tense, ‘loved…”
