Chapter 40
Alaria:
“Enzo, you heard what she said. You being in there is not going to be a good idea,” I said, stopping the man from trying to enter the room.
“I shouldn’t have done what did. She could lose the baby…”
“Hey,” I said, stopping the man from what he was going to say. Whatever it was, he could deal with it with his mate. I knew that interfering wasn’t going to take me anywhere, but not matter how angry I could be with him, if anyone knew him, it was me. “Whatever happened, you are going to solve it together, a child of a mating doesn’t just die and you of all people should know that, Enzo.”
“I snapped at her. The woman was scared to death, what if something happens?” He asked, and though even I was surprised of myself, this wasn’t a state that I wanted to see anyone in.
“Alonso just his mother being carried to the infirmary room. Rather than staying here and doing nothing as you pace around this room, you are going to go and comfort the kid. You are going to be the father that he needs right now,” I said, and he looked at me, frowning in confusion as he processed my words.
“What was Alonso doing with you anyway?” He asked, and I shook my head. This was what held onto.
“He was playing with Ashton. There was a puzzle that I brought for Ashton and Alonso came and wanted to play. I obviously wasn’t going to tell him no about it.” I said, and he scoffed.
“What are you trying to do? One day you call the kid bastard and the next you are playing football with him, a puzzle, and even having him sleep with your son in your room.” He said, and I frowned in confusion.
“The child was frightened. He wet his own bed, what was I supposed to do? Let him sleep in his own piss?” I asked, shaking my head at the man who let out a silent laugh.
“You are a hypocrite. You coming with me, you trying to play the game of kindness.

you
between the children. We
both know that you couldn’t care less about Katherine and whether or not she lost the child. Hell, you would be more pleased if she did. At least would be sure that you could have your son as an heir if something was to happen to Alonso.” He said, and I took a step back, trying to process the man’s words. The fact that he was thinking this way was astonishing to me. And I had to admit, I couldn’t help but regret the idea of trying to help.
“I came to help out. I didn’t come to see her losing a baby. You and her having a child is the last thing that I am going to care about.” I said, and he laughed. I had to take a breath, controlling my mouth which I knew had a number of swear words threatening to escape my lips. The idea of him accusing me the way that he was annoyed me, but I knew that pain could be the reason behind it.
“You of all people wouldn’t care about helping when it comes to Katherine.” He said, and I looked down at my feet. “As for your child being my heir, I give you my word that the second my baby is born, Ashton will be announced a bastard. He can keep the last name, but that is all he gets.”
“He doesn’t want anything from a man, if I can still call you that, like you.” I said, and growled in warning. “You can growl all you want. It won’t work on me, and believe me, if you think that I want anything from you, you are wrong. I am here for my son, and we are both here because you and my being here, Had it been up to me, we would have gone home on the very same night that we came.”

“As a concubine, you are lucky to have a room that’s away from the servant’s floor. I am still valuing the fact that you are the mother of a son, MY son. Otherwise, I would have sent you as a slave…
“You are very wrong about me, aren’t you?” I asked, stopping him. “You spent days and. nights in your stupid auction, whore, and pleasure houses that you forgot that I am the daughter of an Alpha, one that married you and not that spread her legs for your pleasure. If I was pregnant, it was due to you choosing to tend to your duties as a husband. Something that I believe that you lost the ability to do considering that your wife is pregnant for the first time in over eight years.”
“One more word out of you…”
“No, I am going to be saying the last word.” I said, stopping him. His eyes widened in surprise, and I knew that it was something that he didn’t expect me to do. I wasn’t one who spoke back at him, and he knew that I rarely ever argued with him to begin with. It was

against my nature, and it was for so many different reasons. The main one was growing up seeing my family argue for years. The last thing that I wanted was to live the same life. “If you think of calling me a concubine again or if you think of harming ONE hair on my son’s head, I am going to be sure that you regret ever thinking of…”
The man grabbed me by my throat, pushing me against the wall behind me. His grip was firm, but I could tell that he didn’t want to choke me. His hand was behind my head before it banged on the wall, and for a moment his eyes softened before he rested his forehead against mine.
“One more word out of your mouth and I am going to be sure that I teach you how to make good use of it.” He said, lowering his voice to above a whisper. “As for Ashton, he is a bastard in my eyes and that is all he’ll ever be. But he is my son, and I don’t harm those of my blood.”
He let go
of me, taking a step back before he turned to the infirmary room. “Get the hell out of my sight.”
“Gladly,” I said, turning to leave. However, this time, I wasn’t going to allow him to THINK that he could touch me when he pleased. I looked at him over my shoulder, and let out a low warning growl. One which he responded to in the same manner, waiting to hear what I was going to say. “Touch me again, Alpha Enzo, and I’ll be the end of you.”
“Is that a challenge?”
“A warning,” I said, not bothering to wait for his response as I walked to the door.
His hand wrapped around my arm, stopping me, and I turned, raising my hand to slap him. He grabbed my hand midair, stopping me before he turned and twisted it behind my back, making me cry out.
“Oh really…?” he whispered, leaning toward my neck. “So, if I bury my canines deep in your neck, I think that you would deserve it for challenging your Alpha, wouldn’t you…?”
