Enzo:
I watched as Alaria walked down the lobby.
Her hair covered her face, and I could hear her heart racing, making me frown when I saw her clenching and unclenching her fists.
didn’t
She say a word and neither was Ashton with her, but I knew that whatever happened, it had something to do with Ezio who walked down a while before her.
I debated whether or not to approach her, not knowing where things would go if I did before deciding against it. Katherine was here anyway, and doing so was only going to cause a stir, and though I knew not to care, I couldn’t help but find myself being curious.
“What are you thinking of?” Katherine asked, following my gaze. Her eyes landed on my ex, and the woman frowned, letting out a low disapproving growl. It was one that the guests around us didn’t hear, but it wasn’t as if she wanted them to hear it. This was for my ears only a slight warning to take my eyes off of her.
“The woman is going to give me her son whether or not she likes it, and something. inside me tells me that her own brother had set that limit for her very well.” I said, choosing to give her the answer that she might want to hear. It was something that he knew that he couldn’t go against, unless he wanted to lose me as an ally, and doing so when he just got his new position was not going to be the smartest move from his side.
“And you expect her to do it without a fight? Even if she were to give you the boy, she is not going to leave him alone p>
“Then she is going to be staying with us. That way, you are going,to set the limit. for her on what she can and cannot do, and being the pack Luna, I think that you know how to do that very well.” I said, looking at Katherine who shook her head at
“Do you really believe that she is going to agree on staying with us? And even if she does, she is never going to submit. You know better than anyone that she is not the type to do so, and being the stronger blood p>
“You have the stronger position as my Luna. I suggest that you start acting like it if
don’t want to lose what you got so far. And believe me, if you don’t work to

keep it, another woman would claim it.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.

“Is that a threat?” Katherine asked and I shook my head. I wasn’t the type to threaten her, but she has crossed more limits than I can deem acceptable, and I knew that she understood that better than anyone. However, for her to admit that was going to be a challenge itself, and I knew that it was likely never going to happen.
“That is a warning, Katherine. I am yet to let go of Alonso’s behavior nor will I accept the fact that you both challenged and defied me. However, you being here makes my position stronger and that is why I am not objecting on it.” I said, and she frowned as she looked down at her feet. “Don’t think that I forgave you that easily and if you do, then it seems to me that you no longer know me p>
“I have lived with you p>
“And yet you don’t seem to know that when I set limits, they are not to be crossed. But then again, considering everything, I know that I shouldn’t be surprised.” I said, getting up from the couch that we were sitting on in the lobby. The number of people who were walking around, some enemies, others friends, some of them acquaintances; being a peace ground, everyone knew that they could be here with no harm. And those who did hurt or harm on these grounds were to be executed on sight.
I walked out to the garden where Alaria was sitting, her back was facing me, but I knew that she had caught my scent. She didn’t turn though, she didn’t need to, and I didn’t want her to.
“I trust that you chose to make the right decision.” I said, my tone monotonous as I spoke to her. She didn’t turn nor did she reply. She was simply quiet as she looked out into space.
“And do you believe that Ashton would want to stay with you?” She asked, wiping her tears from her eyes before she got up from the ground. Do you believe that he is going to want to let his own place, peace, the home that he grew up knowing to be his, and his life to be with a man that he met only yesterday p>
“And that is why you are going to come with him.” I said, and she frowned. I looked down at her jaw only to frown when I saw blood on it. I put my index finger under her chin, wanting to get a better look, but she moved her face faster than I could, not allowing me to. “Your p>

“And you believe that I am going to want to be with the man that not only filed a divorce, but also cheated on me?” I asked, shaking my head at the man whose ego was one that I couldn’t help but find myself questioning. The idea of it seemed to be absurd to me, but I knew that my time was limited. I knew that I was only going to get one chance to decide on this, and if I said no, then they were going to force me to do it. And I didn’t want to end up losing my son to them. I didn’t want to put him through that pain too p>
“You don’t have another choice.” He said, making my chest ache. “I will give you until tomorrow to decide, but trust me, if you don’t, then you are going to be forced into submission. And I don’t think that you are going to like what I going to od to be sure that you submit p>
