Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Chapter 144

Alaria:

“Are you sure that you want to do this, Alaria?” Enzo asked, and | nodded.

“I am not going to be able to live with myself if | don’t,” | said, and he nodded.

| walked toward the house where | knew my mother was staying. The door was unlocked, and | wasn’t dumb,

they were already aware of my presence. Everyone who was here knew who | was and who | was coming to see.

“You have snerve to chere after you killed your brother,” mom said, not even bothering to turn to look

at me.

“If anyone knows that | wouldn't have killed Eunless | had to, it should be you, mama.” | said, and she

scoffed, facing the window. | didn’t expect her to turn around to face me. It was something that | cto know

as days went by. Neither one of them would be caring about me. My one consolation was the fact that | knew

that | was good to them. | didn’t hurt them the way that they hurt me, and even they knew that.

“What are you here for?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “You took his life, his pack, and even his wife.

What are you here for? Because | doubt that you chere to speak to me, and if that is the case, then you can

leave. | have no daughter anymore.”

“I wanted to know why.” | said, choosing to voice out my pain. “While | know that it might not be making a

difference to you, but it does to me. And | want to know why everything turned out the way that it did. When he

started working with Katherine, his reason...”

“You expectto answer you?” She asked, turning to look at me. “Do you really believe that | owe you anything

after everything that you have done? Even your father didn’t want you in his funeral. You took your brother's life,

and | am glad that you didn’t show up at his funeral. | would have hung you beside his grave. Your head would

have been a signal to those who would have dared oppose me.”

“So, what was | supposed to do? Allow him to kill me?”

“He wouldn't have killed you. He was not that blind, unlike you, he didn’t grow blind for power.” She said, and |

looked away from her.

“The arrow that I got, that he shot...”

“I doubt that it was aimed at you. You aimed at him, you shot him yourself. Don’t think, for one second, that |

don’t know. The men have reported, those who survived, | know that it was you who shot him.” She said, and |

nodded.

“I shot him because | wanted to?” | asked, and she raised an eyebrow.

“You deprived a boy from his mother. You killed her and then killed him. You had no right to do it, but you chose

to do so to ensure your own place. You wanted Alonso to be second to Ashton, and though you know that...”

“Alonso is not going to be treated differently...”

“Then why not have him be Alpha?” She asked, stopping me. | didn’t say a word for a few moments, knowing

that whatever | was going to say, she was going to use against me. “Because you wanted the best for your son.

You didn’t see Alonso as worthy of being Alpha. Had you truly seen him as you see Ashton, | doubt that it would

have made any difference to you.”

“Ashton is the rightful heir...”

“Unless you choose that Alonso is.” She said, stopping me. “You see, you want the best for your son. You

wouldn't have wanted Katerina to be taking your place. Ewanted to save the boys the h a s | e. It is you who

chose not to react. But then again, you never did react when it cto truth. It is the main reason why you will

always be deemed as weak.”

“Weak because your son betrayedfor no reason?” | asked, and she laughed. Her laughter, at that moment,

tookoff guard. And it took everything innot to jump as | knew that she was acting on anger. Mom often

laughed historically when she was in pain.

“You were the one who betrayed all of us. You, not once, deserved the love that you got.” She said, stopping me.

“Whenever it didn’t suit you, you just chose to want to walk away. The sthing that you did when it cto

your marriage...”

“That is what this hate is all about?” | asked, stopping her. She glared atand clenched her fists. The smell of

blood, her blood, filled my nostrils. And | knew that she was digging he finger in her palm, cutting her skin. “You

are all furious that | got the divorce that | needed?”

“You needed nothing. All you did was draw disgrace to the family.”

“I was being cheated on at the time.” | said, and she shook her head at me.

“That is why you chose to get back to him right now?” She asked, raising an eyebrow at me. “You went ahead,

against everything that people would say about the family, and rather than being the woman that you were

raised to be; you submitted.”

“You sentto his has the mother of his child.” I said, and her smile as cold.

“You should have fought to leave. You would have been justified if you had. But here you are, standing in front of

me, with a love bite on your neck.” She said, and | looked away from her for a moment before pulling out a card.

A wedding card, from my purse.

There was no use tospeaking to her right now. She wasn’t going to listen anyway.

“I cto invite you to my and Enzo’s wedding.” | said, making her frown. “You are more than welcover.

But judging by the way you are reacting, | doubt you would be coming.”

“Either way, it going to be in Tuscany. And you are more than welcif you want to show up.” | said, avoiding

her eyes. “As for Ezio’s secrets; they will cout eventually. And if not, then he is dead with them. There won't

be much forto change. Especially when we have reached the end of our story, mother...”
