Chapter 99
Enzo:
“What gare you trying to play?” I asked, looking at Damon who was sitting at his desk, not even bothering to look at me.
“I am not playing any game, you aren’t worth the moment forto do so to begin with. But then again, I doubt that you seem to realize that, Enzo.” He said, and I shook my head at the man. He was being foolish and I hated to admit that he didn’t even realize the danger that he was putting himself in.
“You are going against everything that Yaroslav set for you because of him, do you f**king realize that?” I asked, and he raised an eyebrow. The man looked up atand intertwined his fingers as he extended his hands on his desk, looking at me.
“And that is something that you care about?” He asked, “last I checked, you were more than willing to deny everything that I asked to do. You refused to stand by my side, and you went on being against me. I doubt that you should be
caring about the small little detail of Jacob. You know, especially when business wise, the man doesn’t even concern you as a person.”

“Alonso is not your son, and I think that we have all established that by now,” he said, stopping me.
“I wasn’t even referring to Alonso.” I said, and he frowned. His eyes studied my expression, and I shook my head. “You didn’t expectto…”
“Last I heard, you wouldn’t accept Ashton as your son. If anything, you even called him a bastard.” He said, and I chuckled.
“Katerina has kept you up to date with the gossip of what was going on in my life, hasn’t she?” I asked, and he smirked.
“When a woman has nothing to do in her life but you, a few things can slip here and there when it comes to her being freed of the one thing keeping her busy. Note, I am calling you THING. You are not man enough forto consider you as one, and I doubt that you expectto treat you as the Alpha

that you clearly aren’t.” He said, and it took everything innot to knock him over, knowing that I was going to need to have him well and safe as to show this to his father that what Alaria was telling him right now. “You know, that is unless you think that you are the Alpha of ashes.”
“I can, at least, consider myself an Alpha over a pack who I know that I took care of very well. What can YOU do? Because last I checked, you were nothing but a failure. You even got to the point where you brought over your ONE competition to your side. That competition has always and will always see you as less than him and not righteous…”
“Jacob has agreed that the two of us would be sharing our power…”
“And you were foolish enough to believe him, weren’t you?” I asked, stopping him. “You were dumb enough to believe that HE, the man who has fought everyone and everything, the man who has been banished by your father, and the man who has been under an exile for so long would be willing to give up his own morals and what he sees as his rights to share the pack rule with you? You really are one stupid man. I don’t understand how your father…”
“ENOUGH!” Damon yelled, and I raised an eyebrow, waiting for what he was going to say. “I am neither here to listen to your foolishness, nor will I allow you to go ahead and disrespectin MY own place. You can get the hell out of the office, or I am going to be sure that you lose your head before you can step out of this door.”

“You are making the biggest mistake in choosing to betray your father the that you are. Not only are you going to put yourself under threat, but you won’t have anyone to defend you when he turns his back to you, and trust me, Jacob is going to do so, and even worse, he is going to be sure to stab you in the back when you least expect it.” I said, giving him my final warning. I knew that it wasn’t going to change anything. But it was going to givethe tand proof to give Yaroslav. It was the one way that he was going to be willing to listen, and with Alaria already there in his office, I knew that I was halfway through what I wanted to get to.
“The one mistake that I made was not listen to what Jacob said about Yaroslav when he first gavethe warning. I wanted to trust him, it turns out that I was wrong. Nevertheless, one learns the hard way sometimes, and this is going

to be a lesson forto keep in mind.” He said, and I chuckled, mocking him.
“And what lesson might that be? How to f**king betray the man who gave you everything that he had?” I asked.

Yaroslav is only going to be the first one to deal with the consequences behind his actions. But trustwhen I say, you, just like everyone else, will be paying the price of your actions if you choose to side against me.”
The fact that he was laying off his entire plan toldhow foolish and
inexperienced he was. This was one of the main reasons why I knew that his brother was using him.
I got up from my chair and walked toward the door, knowing that I got what I wanted and needed. I looked at the man over my shoulder for a moment, studying my words carefully as I knew that ONE wrong word could mean a fatal mistake.
“It is a shthat the two of us can no longer be on the sside, Damon.” I said, and he chuckled.
“I doubt that we ever were.” He said, and I nodded.
“Indeed.” I said, walking out the door, whispering my next words. “But we could have been.”
I walked out of the building and my phone rang just as I reached my car where Viktor was waiting for me. It was Alaria.
“So?”
“The message has been delivered. Now we wait for the action to begin…”
