Enzo:


    “Are you okay?” I asked, looking at ria who was quiet.


    She looked down at her feet, and nodded. I took her hand in mine, gently squeezing it, and she smiled


    as she looked at me.


    “Thank you for defending me and Ashton.” She said, and I smiled at her.


    “You don’t need to thank me, ria. You are my family, both of you.” I said, and she squeezed my hand


    gently before I let her hand go. “We are going to need to go out. Yasmin is still within the city, and I


    don’t want to risk him trying to take her out. And I know that Katherine is not going to be stupid or


    foolish to try and do something that would risk her getting hurt. The one issue that we might have is the


    fact that she would put Matias in a tough situation.”


    “There is nothing that concerns me, Enzo, but our son’s safety. I don’t want him to get hurt. I know that


    Matias is worried about Yasmin, but I don’t want to risk Ashton’s safety. I would rather I die than put him


    in danger,” she said, and I nodded, taking her hand in mine. I squeezed it gently, and I couldn’t help but


    find myself purring at her.


    “Don’t worry, neonata, I would be putting myself in the face of fire.” I said, shaking my hand at her. “You


    and Ashton are not going to be harmed. I am going to put everything on the line for you, and trust me, I


    am not going to put you in the face of it, not while I am alive.


    “You know that things are going to beplicated, Enzo. The pack is going to need you here, and…”


    “If they are going to need anyone, ria, it is you.” I said, stopping her. “You might not realize it, but it


    is the truth. The pack, our home, and we are all going to need you. You are just going to need to


    understand it somehow. And I know that despite everything, you eventually will.”


    I turned to look at her, and though I knew that it might not be right for me to do so, not yet anyway, I


    cupped her cheeks and made her look me in the eye. “We are going to leave in a bit, and I am going to


    leave the pack in your care. Viktor is going to be with you in case anything happens, and though I know


    that you are very much capable of protecting the pack yourself, I would be morefortable with him


    being by your side for whatever reason thates.”


    I kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment. ria didn’t move, and leaning in, I


    pecked her lips gently, smiling when she kissed me back. The kiss was quick and gentle, and though I


    knew that I didn’t deserve it, I was thankful for her being willing to kiss me back.


    “Juste back safe and alive, everything else would be handled from there.” She said, and I nodded.


    I looked up at the staircase where I knew Ashton was in the room.


    “Stay safe,” I said, and she nodded as she watched me take a step back. I let out a low growl, calling


    for the men. Viktor’s eyes met mine and I nodded. The man stood beside ria and though the two of


    them didn’t say a word, their eyes meeting one another’s told me that they knew what was toe.


    They were going to have a lot to do, and the pack being in their care was only going to mean that so


    much could possibly happen. Amidst the war that we were getting into, I knew the responsibility that


    they were going to have to follow.


    Leonardo’s eyes met mine for a moment, and the anger that I saw in his eyes was one that I couldn’t


    exin. The man wasn’t saying a word, and though I couldn’t me Matias for being as furious as he


    was, I didn’t understand what was going on with Leonardo.


    “What’s wrong?” I asked, and he shook his head.


    “Don’t worry about it.” He said, making me frown in question. “We’ll talk about itter. Because right


    now, trust me when I say, there is a lot on my mind and I don’t even know how to form the right


    sentence.”


    He looked at Matias for a moment before looking ahead. “And I think that Matias is going to need us to


    be strong for his


    1/2


    Dreame


    sake. The man is already in conflict, and I know that he is going through the conflict of his life.”


    +5


    “Yasmin was his jewel. Everyone in the pack knew that, and if Katherine had the idea of kidnapping


    her, then she has crossed more limits than would have been known to me. Even I am surprised that I


    never saw her this way, and that idea alone is enough to make me wonder who the fucking hell I was


    living with through all this time.” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose.


    “A woman who can make you think that the boy that you’re living with is your son when he is not is


    more than capable of doing anything, Enzo.” He said, and I nodded.


    “And that is why I am worried about what else she can do.” I said, looking at Matias. “Let’s just hope


    that she doesn’t end up doing something that would have us getting into a deeper war than she is


    going to want to deal with. Because judging by where things are going, I can assume that she has


    failed to make her calctions correctly.”


    “And when that happens, I know that we are going to be in deeper shit than we are going to want to


    deal with.” I said, walking toward the car. “For now, let’s head off to the demon’s den. It’s time to start


    the first part of this stupid bargain…”
