Enzo:


    “So, do you want to tell me what you’ve been up to?” Matias asked, raising an amused eyebrow at me.


    “As it seems that a lot has been going on while I was in Florence, and you are going to need to start


    spilling up.”


    “You know that we have so many things to discuss, but first…”


    “Is what I heard true? About Katherine.” He asked, stopping me.


    “You always were like that, even when I was younger.” I said, and he smirked, knowing that I was trying


    to escape the subject. “Yes, it is. Alonso is not my son. He is the rogue’s child. For some reason, she


    has been raising him in the pack as my own son. The nurses imed that she was pregnant, even her


    doctor in the hospital said the same thing. And though my one doubt, even if she was with child, is the


    fact that the children, imed to be


    with pregnant twins, cannot possibly be mine. I wasn’t in the country when she is imed to have been


    impregnated. And the idea of her cheating on me again is not one that I want to think of. iming that


    she is not with child is something that I prefer hearing.”


    “Again?” He asked, and I shook my head.


    “Raising a son that is not my own is cheating, isn’t it? Had I raised him while knowing who he is, I


    would know that he is not mine. It wouldn’t change my love for him if it sprouted and if I chose to im


    him as a son.” I said, and Matias shook his head, pinching the bridge of his


    nose.


    “I don’t want to add salt to the wound, but Enzo, how the hell did you not expect this? I mean, I doubt


    that she managed to fake your feelings. You t even feel a bond between the two of you and that didn’t


    click something to you?” He asked, making my stomach churn. “Don’t get me wrong, but Katerina took


    advantage of something, and you allowed it.”


    “And that something is?” I asked, and Matias smiled softly, shaking his head at me.


    “That


    you know that ria was your duty. Katerina was always your sin, secret, and the one thing that you


    knew that you couldn’t have. You wanted her, and she knew that. She took advantage of it because…”


    “Are you here to tell me what I did wrong…”


    “I am here because the boy that I raised a long time ago alongside your father is not as stu pid as the


    Alpha that is sitting in front of me.” He said, stopping me. “I am aware that you are trying to fix your


    mistakes, and it happening now is going to be a lot better than it happening when you truly have lost it.


    But you need to understand, Enzo, that ria is being KIND enough to allow you the chance. She


    doesn’t have to, nothing that she is doing is something


    1/3


    that she has to do. And if she is, you should be grateful for it.”


    “And I am…”


    “Not enough,” he said, looking me dead in the eye. “put yourself in her shoes. Would willing to do what


    she is doing for you? The same way that she is doing it for you?”

    “You really are rubbing the wound with salt.” I said, and heughed, shaking his head at me.


    “I don’t intend to do so. But considering that someone has to, I will be the one to do so. The woman


    doesn’t deserve anything that you did to her. She was kind enough to take it, and she was kind enough


    to be willing to give you a chance to even look at you. But I don’t want you thinking that it is something


    that everyone would do. Had it been your own mother, she would have had you u ghtered in a


    second. Trust me, I would know.” He said, and I chuckled, knowing that he was right. Mom wasn’t the


    type to ept this kind of thing.


    “Anyhow, I didn’te here to remind you to be a man. You know more than anyone that you should


    be


    one, especially to the woman who has-treated you with the respect that no one showed to you.” He


    said, and I took a deep breath. “Now for Florence, there is a lot that you are going to need to hear.”


    “Let me guess, are you going to tell me about Marco?” I asked, and he smirked.


    “Your spies work well.”


    “Not really my spies. The idiot had himself exposed as a drunk. The cops caught him for trying to get to


    the secret auction under the Da Vinci art gallery. The idiot nearly got himself and the others who were


    there to attend the auction caught…”


    “That is not the only thing that he’s done, Alpha.” He said, making me frown.


    “Tell me?” I asked, and he looked away from me.


    “Do you


    remember the cult of the wolves? It was a rumor that started a long time ago. Those who believed in


    wolves tended to join one cult, and one day after the other, they found themselves unifying with wolves


    a long time ago. Somehow, Marco managed to start the cult again, and that is something that is


    angering the elders.” He said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Some initially thought that it was


    one of his drunken acts. They went to see him ‘shift’ on the full moon as a joke. The one thing that they


    didn’t count for was that MANY shifted. He ended up killing those who were human. They were found


    u ghtered and eaten, ripped apart. It angered the elders even more, and now people are alert all


    over Italy. It has spread toward Mn.”


    “And the authorities? Those who are human of them, I mean.” I said, and he shook his head. “So far,


    their lips are sealed. But it is only a matter of time before riots start, and if that


    2/3


    3/3


    happens somewhere. If they end up starting a war of wolves against people.” He said, and I chewed


    the inside of my mouth.

    “The rogues are going to take advantage of that, aren’t they?” I asked, and he nodded.


    “We are getting into a bigger war than we are going to be able to handle. And the issue is, I don’t know


    whether or not we are going to be able to get out of it without bigger problems.” He said, and I tapped


    the desk twice.

    “Then we are going to need to start acting,” I said, and he raised an eyebrow. “We are going to start


    with the snake’s head first. The rest of the body perishes until it ispletely dead when its head is cut


    off.”


    “And that means?”


    “Jacob has to die.” I said, making Matias raise an amused eyebrow


    Leonardo walked inside, and I crossed my arms over my chest, waiting for wha,


    to say. I knew that he wouldn’t being this

    “The pack doctors and nurses chose to run away, and they doors are.” He said, cutting to the point.

    “Great, just what we needed.” I said, rolling my eyes.


    “Of course,” he said, making me frown at his smirk.


    “What better way to hold those who we dare go against us hostage than in the tunnels under the


    house, right…?”
