Chapter 124
Alaria:
“Mama, is daddy going to cto say goodnight to me?” Ashton asked, and I
smiled, laying by his side.
I wrapped my arm around him and laid him on my arm as I did when we were
alone. I knew to keep him comfortable in this situation. I didn’t know where
things were going to go from here, but I knew one thing, I
didn’t like it one bit.
“Not tonight, baby. Your father has a lot to deal with and he went out. He won’t
be back till very much later, but he still will cto your room like he used to
before.” I said, and he smiled. Enzo has developed a habit of entering the room
to kiss Ashton good night, even if he was actually asleep, he would cto the
room, kiss his forehead and cover him with a blanket. I found it sweet of him,
and by time, I knew that it was something that even I got used to seeing. There
were times when Ashton would wake up, and I knew how happy he was to see
his dad.
“Are we going to stay here now, mama?” Ashton asked, and I nodded.
“It seems so.” I said, running my finger through his hair. “Do you like it here?”
“Yes. You and daddy seem to be happier.” He said, makingsmile. “I like it
when you are happy.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI kissed his temple, and he smiled atas I purred.
“We will be staying where you are most comfortable, and I know that your father
wants you to be around him. don’t want you to be without him too,” I said, and
he nodded.
The scent of my brother, Ezio, filled my nostrils, and I frowned at the fact that
he would be here despite our argument. I didn’t expect it to be as soon as it
was, but I knew that if he chere, it wasn’t a very good sign. At least, it was
what I knew about him.
“How about you start getting ready to go to sleep? You know, we have a big day
tomorrow, and I know that you are going to want to be well rested.” I said,
gently massaging his scalp. It was a habit that he liked and found comforting to
him.
“What do we have tomorrow?” He asked, and I smiled.

“A big day for us all. You know, with things taking the path that they are, I know
that every day is a big day. T said, and he nodded. I got up from the bed, and
covered him with the blanket, before kissing his forehead. “I want you to always
know that mama loves you so much, and that I am always going to be by your
side.”
“I love you too, mama.” He said, and I smiled. He raised himself slowly before
kissing my cheek, and I watched as he laid back down, covering himself with the
blanket before taking a step back as I turned to walk out of the room where his
maid was waiting by the door.
“Don’t let anyone inside the room unless it is me.” I said, and she nodded. I
nodded at two of the gammas, knowing that they would be standing by the door
to make sure that nothing happened. I knew that it might be a little too much
from my part, but with everything taking the path that it was, I made sure that
every child in the pack got the streatment. Luna or not, I knew how to act
when needed, and I knew that this wasn’t something that Enzo would mind
anyway.
“Alaria.” Esaid, callingas he sawwalking down the stairs. Viktor,
stood one step behind me, knowing the tension that happened between my
brother and I. Needless to say, at this point, I didn’t even want to see his face.
“Unless someone is dying, I don’t want to hear it, Ezio.” I said, and he frowned.
“You wouldn’t want to see your brother unless someone is dead?” He asked, and
I raised an eyebrow.
“I doubt that you would expectto want to see you, approach you, or even
look at you. Then again, you tend to have no shat times and I would expect
the worse from you when it is needed.” I said, and he let out a low growl.
“You can growl all you want. It will not change the facts that we all know.” I said,
and he looked away from me.
“I take it that you are acting as Luna and hiding behind the wall of the men that
your Alpha has behind you?” He asked, looking at Viktor. “It is a shthat
each beta seems to act as if your own brother is danger to you.”
“A man who threwinto the lion’s den when he could have protectedis
no brother to me. And you need to understand that I need no one to protect me.
I can, very much, protect myself. You seem to fail to realize it, and that is
something that you have seen firsthand considering the fact that you knew that
I was raising my son on
my own.” I said, and he let out a low, clearly annoyed, growl.
“You are going to regret the decision of making your own brother an enemy for
the man who divorced you, threw you out, and chose to have his mistress in
your place as wife.” He said, and I took a deep breath. That was low,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeven for him, and I knew that he saw my annoyance in my eyes.

“And I think that it is tfor you to leave. Especially considering the fact that I
know and can tell that you don’t have anything that you are going to tell me.” I
said, and he frowned.
“You are kickingout?” He asked, and I nodded.
“The pack Alpha is not here, and you can visit to speak to him when he is. Until
then, the door is right behind you and the men are going to be more than happy
to escort you out of the pack.” I said, looking at Viktor. He nodded and pulled
his phone out of his pocket to send someone, I believe that it was the gammas
or deltas, a message.
“I can show myself out,” he said, turning to leave as the men approached him.
Viktor nodded at them to follow him before the two of us released a heavy
breath as he walked out.
“What’s going on?” He asked, and I shook my head. “The man seemed to be a lot
more aggressive considering that he was the one who came.”
“Elikes to be superior, and he knows that he didn’t get his way.” I said,
looking at Enzo’s beta. “We are going to need to make sure that all the secret
gates are guarded. A heavy feeling intellsthat we are in for a very long
night…”
