Chapter 122
Enzo:
“Are you okay?” I asked, looking at Alaria 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 defendingand Ashton.” She said, and I smiled at her.
“You don’t need to thank me, Alaria. 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.

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 be complicated, Enzo. The pack is going to
need you here, and…”
“If they are going to need anyone, Alaria, 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 forto do
so, not yet anyway, I cupped her cheeks and made her lookin 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 more
comfortable with him being by your side for whatever reason that comes.”
I kissed her forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment. Alaria didn’t
move, and leaning in, I pecked her lips gently, smiling when she kissedback.
The kiss was quick and gentle, and though I knew that I didn’t deserve it, I was
thankful for her being willing to kissback.
“Just cback 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 watchedtake 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 Alaria and though the two of them didn’t say a word, their eyes
meeting one another’s toldthat they knew what was to come. 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 explain. The man wasn’t saying a word, and though I
couldn’t blMatias 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, makingfrown in question. “We’ll talk about
it later. Because right now, trustwhen 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

“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 makewonder 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 assthat she has failed to
make her calculations 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 tto start the first part of this stupid
bargain…”
