Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Katherine:

I sat on the chair beside my son’s bed, knowing that it was the one thing that I can do.

He was waking up, at least that was something that I knew. But it was the ONE assurance that I had. Him opening his eyes and looking at me was the one thing that I could hold onto.

“Hi, baby,” I said, and he nodded, smiling weakly. It has been the same situation for the past two days. He would open his eyes, look at me, smile, then fall back to sleep.

“He is still very weak, ma’am. He needs to heal from the amount of smoke that has entered his lungs and the oil would have been poisonous on adults. It was a miracle that he survived it.” The nurse who was now in charge of staying in his room said, and I nodded. I didn’t even know where Leonardo and the other men were at this point, but I knew one thing, Jacob would have had a hand in where they were.

“Did he say a word?” Jacob said, entering the room. I looked at him and shook my head. He was growing far more annoyed with me as he slept, and with each passing day, I found myself regretting what I did, to my son, at least.

“He woke up, but didn’t speak.” I said, and he nodded.

He placed a food bag in front of me, taking me off guard as his eyes, which were as cold as ice, looked me dead in the eye.

“Eat. You need food in your system if you are going to mother my children, and I don’t expect you to be a weakling when that happens.” He said, not even bothering to care about the nurse who was inside the room. I wouldn’t expect him to, actually, he was the one who hired her to begin with.

“I do not intend to carry your children, Jacob. The two of us already discussed this. Alonso is going to get out of the hospital first, then the two of us can talk about

everything that you want. Right now, I am more concerned about my son’s health and wellbeing.” I said, and he scoffed.

“You should have thought of that before burning the house, little wolf.” He said, making my heart drop. “Now eat, or I will shove that up your…”

“I doubt that threatening the woman is the right way to get her to eat.” Damon said, stopping Jacob. The man turned to face his younger brother, and I could swear that I saw his disappointment in his eyes. “I brought over a few new doctors who can help

with Alonso’s situation. They have dealt with more severe issues, and this smoke issue it going to be easier for him. Though I have to admit, I am curious about the type of oil that you used. The boy seems to have been affected…”

“I doubt that the oil is something that you are going to be concerned about right now.” Jacob said, stopping him. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Actually, no, not even the doctors. There is something that you, Katerina, are going to need to know.” He said, and I frowned in confusion. “Not only are you now announced as the woman who brought over the bastard’s son, but you are also announced as the one who raised another Alpha’s son by another.”

“What?” I asked, my eyes widening in surprise. He nodded, and his eyes met mine before he turned to Jacob.

“What you did when you threatened Enzo two weeks ago was only trigger them to working together. You going to speak to Alaria in front of Ashton’s school is not something that you should have done as not only did they unite forces, but the two of them are going to fight back. And guess who they are going to start with right now?” He asked, watching as Jacob’s eyes hardened. It has been two weeks since my encounter with Enzo, but all of this happening was the last thing that I expected.

“He and the woman were to know that I was going to claim what was mine. I did not threaten neither one of them, but a simple warning was adequate for them to know not to mess with something that is bigger than they are.” Jacob said, and Damon shook his head at his brother.

“A woman for another and a son for a son, does that ring a bell or am I only hallucinating?” Damon asked, raising an amused eyebrow. “Anyhow, Yaroslav heard of this and he is sending his men out for you. We are going to have to act against him and that would mean his head.”

“You are willing to kill Yaroslav?” Jacob asked, clearly surprised by his brother’s statement. Even I didn’t expect that he would be willing to kill his father right now, especially not after he went ahead and gave him everything that one could ever ask for.

“I believe that it is the most suitable option considering the fact that he can end up turning against me. The two of us can share our power later, and no one would be a threat to you or your place. You can live and roam freely. Yaroslav’s threat would be out of your way, and you can grow what he has taken from you.” Damon said, and Jacob raised an amused eyebrow.

“And you are willing to offer it?” He asked, and Damon nodded.

“Under certain guidelines. The two of us will discuss them later.” He said, and Jacob nodded. “Anyhow, both of you be careful. The doctors will be coming shortly and the two of us will discuss matters later.”

Damon walked out, leaving Jacob and I alone, and Jacob scoffed, shaking his head.

“There is only one small setback to your plan, brother.” Jacob said, whispering his words, keeping his eyes on mine as he did, making my stomach churn as I knew that things were going to grow more complicated. “I do not intend to share any power. At least, not with you…”
