Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Alaria:

I watched as Enzo walked out of the infirmary, nodding at Alonso to go to his father.

The boys needed to go to school and with Katherine being ill, I knew that she wouldn’t be taking her son.

“Dad,” Alonso called his father. Enzo turned to face him, and got on his knee in front of him. He took a step back, hesitant, before he nodded.

“Good morning,” Enzo said, his voice softening. “Your mom is still sick, do you want to go inside and see her though?”

“I was coming to say that I had to go to school. I didn’t know who was going to take me as mama always chose one of the maids to do so.” He said, looking at his dad. I looked away from the two of them, wanting to ignore the Alpha’s presence. I was wearing a long sleeved shirt to cover the bruise that formed on my arm. To my luck the man had sprained my wrist, and that was going to take a little longer to heal.

“I’ll drop you off if you…”

“You don’t have to,” he said, stopping his dad. I looked down at my feet before clearing my throat, reminding him to be polite to his father. Ashton, who was looking up at me, smiled. This was also the way I reminded him of his manners when he forgot about them. “Thank you.”

“Can I please ask Nanny Mariana to drop me off?” He asked, and Enzo looked at me or a second before looking down at his son. I had to avoid the man’s eyes as this was something that I was against when it came to my son. I didn’t like the maids dropping him off to school, especially since I knew how

it felt like to be dropped off by maids. It was the way. that things were done when I was younger. My mother wouldn’t even wait for me to go to school. She was either tending to her things or she was asleep. Either way, there was no time. for me.

“Yes, she can drop you off.” He said, and Alonso looked up at me.

“Thank you for allowing you to spend the night, Aunt Alaria.” He said, and I smiled. He nodded and took a step back before I put my hand on my son’s shoulder, nodding at him to turn. He has seen his father and Enzo saw that both his kids are well. I didn’t need to spend time by his side nor did I need to bother confronting him.

“Come on, Ashton, it’s time for school.” I said, and he nodded. The two of us turned to walk away before Enzo cleared his throat, breaking my train of thoughts.

“Alaria,” he said, his tone was calm as he spoke. I looked away from him before nodding at my son, wanting him to wait for me in the living room.

“I’ll be there in a minute, baby.” I said, and he nodded. He walked toward the living room, leaving me alone with the man. I turned to face the man, and I shook my head, waiting for what he was going to tell

me.

“Thank you for letting Alonso stay

for letting Alonso stay with you last night. It was a rough one on his mother, and…”

“I let him stay with me because I didn’t want him to see you as the monster that he was afraid of.” I said, stopping him. “He was startled, and he still is my son’s brother. I chose to have the conscious that you don’t. Excuse me, I have to drop my son to school…”

“Alaria…”

“I have nothing to speak to you about.” I said, stopping him. “Don’t approach me again, Enzo. And I said it to my brother, I am going to say it to you; if you think of laying a finger on me again, you are going to lose it. This is my final say.”

I turned to walk away, not saying a word.

To my surprise, the Alpha didn’t stop me…

“You were about to be late,” Alpha Damon said from behind me. I smiled, shaking my head

at the man.

My son was in his first class already, and that was something that I was thankful for. The last thing that I wanted was for him to be late for his classes because of his father, and I knew

that it would have happened had Enzo chosen to stop me.

“I got caught up with a few things.” I said, and he nodded.

“I can imagine,” he said, nodding at me. He looked at my car for a second then at his. “Do you want to keep your car here or…?”

“I was thinking that we can both drive? You guide the way and I’ll follow? Or you can send me the location of where we’re going and I can meet you there.” I said, stopping the man. He frowned at my words, but I knew not to trust anyone as casily. I had to pick Ashton up later today and the last thing that I needed was to be late.

“This wasn’t how I pictured how this would go.” Damon said, looking down at his feet for a second.

“Don’t

I get me wrong, Damon, but I have a son, and I have to be here to pick him

up before it is time for him to go home. I don’t depend on the maids that the Alpha has, and I do not intend to do so.” I said, and he nodded, thankfully, choosing to respect what I was doing for

my son.

“Alright, we’ll be going to my office first; I think that I can have a proper office arranged for you. One that you can work in, and you know, with being close to mine; I can arrange a proper price.” He said,

and I smiled.

“It is very

kind of you…”

“See it first, then you can decide whether or not you like it. Then we can go to a nearby café, we can discuss matters there and you can give me your final response on the matter of the office. And it is close to the school. You won’t need to worry about rush hours or a crowd. It is one of the reasons why I’m sometimes in charge of picking up my nieces and nephews.” He said, and I smiled.

“You don’t have a child of your own?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“Not yet,” he said, and I nodded. “So, how about I sertd you the location now? We can meet there in a few minutes.”

“Alright,” I said, pulling my phone out of my pocket. He sent the location in a minute, and my eyes brightened when I saw that it was a six minute drive. “I’ll see you in a bit…”
