Chapter 113
Alaria:
“Do you really think that we are going to be giving you any loyalty now that you are back within the pack?” Alexa, one of Katherine’s closest associates and friends. She was known to be her personal maid, but she often saw herself as her friend. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Do you aim to betray the Alpha? Or are you a traitor as it is considering that you are defending the woman who not only broke the pack but also…”
“You are lying. It was you who burned the house down. It was the reason why you chose to take your son out early.” She said, and I nodded.
“Do you believe that the Alpha would be allowing me within the pack if that were the case? Why would I be harming a child that I spent days and nights with when his own mother was neglecting him?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the woman. I went to walk past her, but she wrapped her hand around my arm, stopping me.
“I don’t know what kind of game you are playing. But if you want me to believe that ANY word that you are saying is true…”
“I want nothing from you.” I said, stopping the woman. She went to tighten her hand around my arm, but I turned her around and pinned her against the wall, raising her hand over her head. She let out a low whimper, and I returned the fight with a low warning growl. “Cross your limits with me again, and I am going to be sure that you answer to the Alpha.”

“What is going on here?” Enzo asked, his tone coming out harder than he would have intended to direct at me.
“You can ask your little omega here.” I said, turning the woman around the face me. I looked at Enzo whose eyes landed on my bruising arm. He frowned at Alexa who looked down at her feet. “She knows to mind her limits now that they have been set for her. But it was a little fuss setting them to begin with. You know, some of these concubines can still be loyal to…”
“Enough, Alaria.” He said, stopping me. He nodded in assurance, and gave me a quick wink before turning his attention to the omega. “Please go and get your arm checked. The bruise is already forming and you don’t need a sprained arm when we have a challenge ahead of us.”
“Enzo…”
“Please, Alaria.” He said, stopping me. “I’m already going to the infirmary in a bit. You should at least get yourself checked before that happens.”
“Yes, Alpha.” I said, and he nodded in thanks before turning to Alexa.
“As for you, you cross limits with my pack members, and especially the mother of my child again, and I am going to be sure to hang your head on a spike for the traitors of the pack to see, do
you fucking understand me…?”
“What do you mean that there’s no one here?” I asked, frowning as I entered the now, literally, abandoned infirmary.
Leonardo was here with me, and I knew to be thankful for that. At least I knew that I wasn’t crazy seeing that the pack’s infirmary members weren’t around.
“They were here earlier, Alaria.” Yasmin, one of the girls said. She was a beta blood, Matias’s eldest child. “We couldn’t find them after Alpha Enzo spoke to us earlier. They literally seemed to run and we haven’t been able to trace them since. Dad had the men cornering the pack grounds to find them, but judging by the fact that neither one of them was found…”
“They took the underground doors.” I said, and she nodded.
“That’s a problem.” Leonardo said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose. “If they are on Katherine’s side, they can inform her and those against her of it. The Estate is new, thankfully, Katherine doesn’t know of them yet. We would have been dead otherwise, but I doubt that their silence would last for long. Especially if they are to want to prove their loyalty to the rogue.”
“Then we are going to have to seal the gates. It is the one way to keep us from ending up with more trouble than we can handle.” I suggested. He shook his head, and I frowned in confusion.
“We can use them to our advantage. The one thing that I am worried about is how things are going to be after we have used them.” He said, confusing both Yasmin and I.
“Care to elaborate? I doubt that we are supposed to understand riddles now, Leo.” I said, and he chuckled.
“You aren’t. But this is going to have to run by the Alpha first. You will hear with the rest of the pack members,” he teased, and I shook my head at him. “Prepare yourselves, though. We are going to need all the power that we can get. It seems to me that our time might be limited, and now that the traitors within the pack are coming out like the roaches that they are, we are going to need to be ready for everything that is to happen.”
“I am guessing that things are going to be messy?” I asked, watching as the beta turned to leave. Yasmin looked at my arm, and she shook her head at the sight of the bruise. “And don’t have to give me that look, Yasmin.”

“Things are already messy, Alaria. I think that you of all people should already know that.” Leonardo said, as Yasmin walked toward the fridge. She opened the freezer and pulled out an ice bag. “I’ll leave you two to tend to things here. I’ll go and speak to Enzo. And I you start getting ready. We are might end up having a long night to deal with.”
We both watched as he walked out before Yasmin raised an eyebrow at me as she icepack on my arm.

“So, you and Enzo?” She asked, and I laughed, shaking my head at the girl.
“Drop the topic, Yasmin. There is a lot more to discuss and the last thing that you need to hear is about my weird love life.” I said, and she shrugged.
“You would be surprised.” She said, looking at the door for a moment. “Neither one of us has ever seen him the way that we did today.”
She walked toward a cabinet and I watched as she pulled out an ointment and a wrapper. “But I’ll drop the topic, for now. Just know that we will see your love sprouting soon enough.”
“I have a lot more to worry about…”
“Don’t worry, we all see it.” She said, not bothering to listen. “Anyhow, now to business. What do you think Leonardo was talking about?”
“If he has what I think he does in mind. Then I am not sure whether or not it is going to be a good idea for us to stay inside the house when our enemies decide to use the secret doors.” I said, looking out the window for a moment. “We’ll just have to wait and see, I guess…”
