Enzo:


    I stood I front of the window for a while, thinking, lost in the number of things that I had in mind.

    Katherine didn’t make sense to me, and the idea of her lying to me the way that she was angered me


    more than I


    could voice out..


    I just needed proof, proof that I had in hand for me to be able to put her in ce. Otherwise, I was just


    stuck with nothing but in threats, and that wasn’t something that I wanted.


    A hand, hers, was touched my back gently. I flinched against her touch, and she quickly removed her


    hand from


    1. me.


    “Enzo, you have been distant, and you haven’t been eating anything. I know that I made a mistake


    when I left, but that doesn’t mean that I want you to burn yourself alive inside for it. At least, even if you


    are angry with me, do yourself the little favor of eating something.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow


    at her. I had to fight back shaking my head in question, not wanting her to suspect anything, but the fact


    that she was LOOKING at me while lying annoyed me.


    “You can leave, Katherine. Alonso needs you by his side, and I need to think.” I said, and she turned


    me around to


    face her.


    “Are you going to be angry with me for a long time? Despite the apology and despite me trying to get


    you to understand me?” She asked, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

    “My son almost died in that room, and rather than giving me ONE proper exnation…” I said, pinching


    the bridge


    my nose. “I don’t want to say anything that is going to break your heart. Therefore, go inside the room


    and leave me to think, Katherine. Trust me, I am not in the right of my mind and I am not in the right


    state to even think to consider what you are telling me right now.”


    Katherine went to respond, however, she frowned as she caught ria’s scent.


    “What the hell is she doing here?” Katherine asked, her eyes hardening. ria didn’t even bother


    looking at her as she walked over to me. She brought me a bag, handing it to me, and I shook my head


    in question.


    “I got what you asked me to bring.” She said, and I nodded, silently thanking her: Katherine looked


    between the two of us and shook her head in question.

    “The woman burned the house and could have been the reason behind our son’s death, and you are


    calling her to ask her for…”


    “Something to eat,” ria said, ring at the woman. “And I think that the Alpha is well aware that I


    didn’t burn the house. I wouldn’t think of harming a child, a pack of innocent people, and even those


    who aren’t very innocent this way. I am not that cold.”

    “Enough, Katherine. Go to Alonso, he needs you by his side in case he wakes up.” I said, stopping her.


    Her eyes hardened as she looked at me before she took a step back, leaving the two of us alone.


    I looked at ria, and she took a breath, not saying a word for a moment.


    “I never did ask you to bring me anything,” I said, and she nodded.

    “Regardless of you being a dickst night, I figured that you could use something to eat.” She said,


    nodding at the bag. “How is Alonso?”


    “Still in the same state. He doesn’t seem to want to wake up, and things are growing a lot more


    complicated.” I said, and she nodded. “Did you get something to eat?”


    “I was with Bianca a while ago, but there are a few things that I heard. A rumor that is going around and


    I think that you might want to hear it.” She said, and I frowned in confusion. ria was not the type to


    go around listening to rumors. It was something that she was strictly against, and for her to be


    mentioning it was something that I knew


    was odd.


    “You going around listening to rumors? I should be worried if that is the state of things.” I said, and she


    shook her


    head. “Bianca or Yildez? Which one of thedies is it?”


    “Actually, it’s Ezio.” She said, making me frown. The idea of her brother talking about something only


    told me that it


    was most likely true. “Jacob, they say he is back, and Damon is by his side. I don’t know about


    Yarov, but if


    Jacob is back, then we are going to have a lot on our te to deal with.”


    “WE?” I asked, voicing out the question that yed in my head. She wrapped her hand around my arm,


    pulling me out of the hospital where her brother stood. His eyes met mine and the two of us nodded in


    respect and greeting at


    one another. The idea of him choking me the way that he did was forgotten, I understood his reason,


    and I knew


    that I would have done the same if I had a sister in ria’s ce.


    “Rumors are going around that he and Katherine could be on one side, and…


    “Katherine and Jacob ended years ago, ria. The man has no rtion to her, and she knows better


    than to y such a game,” I said, and Alária frowned.


    “The woman was blindly using me of burning the house down, and you still have it in you to be


    defending her?“. ria asked, and I shook my head. I wasn’t defending Katherine, but I knew better


    than to think that she would be cheating on the pack with the bastard. The wolf was going to drag her


    down if she was, and even she knew to be


    smarter than that.


    “She was using you out of jealousy, but this is an usation that is bigger than you might think. The


    woman cheating on her Alpha…”


    “And yet you cheating on her is allowed in your book?” ria asked, stopping me. I frowned, and she


    raised an eyebrow. “Or kissing me now part of your regr lifestyle?”

    “I believe that I got an exnation to why you’re here. To think that I believed that you could have been


    genuine.” I said, making Ezio frown..


    “If I was here because of something, it is to ensure the safety of the one son that you know for certain


    is yours.” She said, making my eyes darken.


    “What did you just tell me?” I asked, and she scoffed.


    “Nothing,” she said, taking a step back. “I have to go and pick up Ashton. But I am going to start


    suggesting that you be more careful. Otherwise, you being my son’s father, you are going to drag ALL


    of us in a mess that we don’t want to deal with. And trust me, when it concerns Ashton, I am not going


    to be very gentle.”


    She walked toward her brother who was waiting for her by the car. He opened the door for her and


    shook his head at her, but she raised a hand, stopping him from saying whatever he had in his mind as


    she got inside.


    “What the fucking hell just happened?”
