Alaria:

“Are you sure that you are going to be able to leave so soon, Alaria? You barely managed to stay one night, how are you going to…?”

“Don’t worry about me, Yildez. You know that I have lived alone for far too long to be falling from one small misfortune.” I said, stopping the woman. The last thing that I needed was for her to be questioningright now. I already had enough on my plate, and with Enzo being in the car, waiting forwith Ashton, I didn’t need her to see him and start the gossips.

“Alright, just be sure to stay safe. And if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call me. You are still with a child by your side. He is not going to be able to cope or understand the number of things that you are going through.” She said, remindingof something that I knew very well.

“Don’t worry, I am going to be fine.” I said, assuring her. She smiled and nodded. I took at step back and walked toward the car with my bags, careful to note that

she wasn’t watching before Enzo walked out of the car to put the things inside the trunk.

“You could have gone to the penthouse and I…

“Stop being stubborn, Alaria.” He said, stopping me. I shook my head at the man before the two of us got inside the car. The idea of living in his place was not something that I wanted, but I knew that it was the best thing that I could get right now. He was right about Yildez and her husband. The man wouldn’t be harmingor my son, I knew that, but he could cause tensions between Yildez and I. That was not something that I wanted.

“Where are we going, mama? Are we going back home?” Ashton asked, and I smiled.

“We are going to a new home, for now.” Enzo said, answering him. Ashton’s eyes lit up as he smiled. The fact that he called him papa made my heart ache. I didn’t expect it to happen, especially since he never did mention the name, but I was more than happy to know that he had accepted him as a father. He didn’t know the confiicts that we had, and that only madeproud of myself as I didn’t fill him with the greed, hate, or anger that most other women might have done.

“Are you going to stay with us? Is Alonso going to stay with us?” He asked, smiling brightly. Enzo tensed, and I frowned.

“Your father is going to be coming every once and a while, and I am sure that Alonso would too.” I said, choosing my words carefully as I noticed that Enzo didn’t speak. I took his hand in mine, squeezing it gently as I snapped him out of whatever he was thinking of. To my surprise, instead of pulling it away, he intertwined our fingers as he kept his eyes on the road.

“Is everything alright?” I asked, whispering my question. I knew that he could easily hearbeing an Alpha. He didn’t say a word and instead, when he stopped at the traffic light, I frowned when I saw that his eyes had darkened as his wolf made himself known.

“Enzo…”

“I don’t want any topics opened in front of Ashton. Is that clear?”

“We didn’t even open a topic, Enzo. But he was curious and he asked.” I said, reminding him to calm down. He stayed quiet for a moment before he nodded, choosing to remind himself to be calm. I had to take a deep breath, fearing that he might do something that would hurt him or our child without his knowing or understanding at this point.

“We are here.” He said, and I nodded, watching as he stopped the car in front of a tower. “Just letpark the car. I am going to inform security that you are going to be staying here. from now on…

I put a glass of water on top of the coffee table in front of Enzo.

The man has been quiet since we entered the house, and though he did his best to try and engage with Ashton in his conversations, I could tell that a lot was bothering him.

“Ashton went to take his nap.” I said, and he nodded, looking atfor a moment before he took a sip of the water that was in front of him. “Enzo, are you sure about what you told me? About her, I mean?”

“I wish that I wasn’t.” He said, looking down at the glass. “Alonso’s maid told me about it. She locked her son inside the room before pouring oil on the carpet. The woman wanted to

accuse you and had burned the area between your and his room. Alonso would have died had it not been for the firefighters arriving on time.”

“No mother would do that, Enzo. Why would she…”

“I am trying to find an explanation, I can’t seem to do so.” He said, shaking his head. “The idea of her being involved in this, it just doesn’t make sense to me. I married her believing that she wasn’t the type of woman who would hurt a child. She took care of Alonso by herself for years. And yet…”

He looked down at the armrest for a moment. “I accused you of something that I knew that you wouldn’t have done.”

“You did it because you didn’t want to

believe that…”

“I did it because I was stupid.” He said, stopping me. “I wanted to believe something to stop another. Hell, I would have hoped that you did it.”

“Am I that bad of an infiuence?” I asked, shaking my head and he shook my head.

“I wish,” he said, and I took a deep breath. “Sometimes, I truly do wish that you were a bad person. It would make the regret that I feel about leaving…“.

“Enzo, now is not the tfor the two of us to talk about this.” I said, stopping him. He scoffed before getting up. “Enzo…”

“I need sfresh air.” He said, walking toward the veranda. “And please, do not followoutside…”
