Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Katherine:

I kept my eyes on Enzo for a moment, watching, in silence, from a distance as he walked around the forest grounds.

He often did that when he was annoyed. It was a habit that I grew used to seeing when the two of us were together, and I had to admit, to know that he was here, I couldn’t help but find myself being curious of what he could be thinking. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If I am not killing you now, it is because your son lost his father today, I don’t want him to lose his mother too.” Enzo said, making my heart drop. I tensed, and he turned to face me, our eyes meeting from a distance before I dared myself to approach him.

I knew not to challenge him, it was something that I would be considered stupid for doing, but what I also knew was the fact that I couldn’t let him get away with what he did. I should have been the one to do it…

“You killed Jacob.”

“He would have killed us instead, and not to mention the fact that you kidnapped Yasmin. I salute you, I never expected you to go as low.” I said, and she gulped. “I am curious about what you were thinking when you did that, because I am sure that the woman that I knew and was with did not and would have not harmed a teenager…”

“Oh, please; the woman has been going around about how she wasn’t a kid. She is being treated as so right now, and the fact that I showed her that she wasn’t…”

“You knew that an eighteen year old is a teenager, no matter whether or not she is legally considered an adult, she will remain a teen.” I said, stopping her.

“Your point is?”

“You’re really asking?” I asked, astonished by the way that she was responding. “When did you become so dark? Or was I really that blind that I couldn’t see you for the woman that you really were?”

“You never were blind, but if I am who I am today, it is because YOU created this monster. Had it been up to me, trust me, none of this would be happening, and the two of us would be living the happily ever after story that we

always were living through. It seems to me that you made your choice in things, and you are not accepting the fact that you are suffering the consequences of your actions.” I said, and the man looked around, clearly reminding himself that we could be heard by passerby people who were walking around. The last thing we needed was the fuss of humans. They tended to like causing one when finding out about us.

“You know that the two of us could have been something. You chose to not only use me for your own power, but to also lie to me about a son that we both never had…”

“You were foolish to even believe the lie that I gave, I have to admit that much. You could have thought twice about it, but you settled with the DNA test that I gave.” I said, knowing that it wasn’t true. For years, I knew that he still doubted me, and I knew that he often wanted to do something to try and prove me wrong. I would just eventually shut that up and muffle it with random excuses.

“I am curious, though, how far do you intend to go with this?” He asked, shaking his head in question. “Your games, and the way that you are dealing with things. How far do you plan on going? Because it seems to me that you are crossing more boarders than you can truly go through, and I am curious about whether or not you are ready for the consequences that will follow your actions considering that you are technically alone.”

“And who tells you that I am alone?” I asked, raising an amused eyebrow at the man.

“If you think that Damon would really support you after all the bullshit that he’s gone through and after the games that you and Jacob have been playing, you are wrong. The death of his brother is going to teach him a lesson, and the faster you learn how much of a coward the man really is, the better it would be for you. You know, you are going to spare yourself a lot of disappointing moments.” He said, and I frowned.

The fact that he was looking at Damon that way told me that he was most likely right. I knew that the man wasn’t one to be depended on, but I didn’t think that things would be taking that path of extension. Nevertheless, I knew not to make him suspect Ezio just yet. I needed him to be the one to enter the pack. He was my one way inside for now. I couldn’t risk him getting caught as easily.

“If I ever see you again…”

“You made that threat before, and I am still standing.” I said, and he nodded before grabbing my hand. His eyes were fixed on mine as I was taken off guard by his action, and it wasn’t until he ripped my finger off my hand, making my eyes widen as he handed it to me.

I had to force myself not to wail out in pain as I looked at the man. He leaned in toward my ear, his voice above a whisper as he spoke his next words. The deadliness in his tone told me that things were coming to an end, he was going to be sure that they did. And that was something that I was going to need to be ready for.

“Now you got your first, actual, warning.” He said, making my heart race. “Now, I suggest that you go back to your son and pack. You know, that is, if you still have one, especially considering that most of them would be dead by now.”

He looked down at his bloody hand and mine before smirking. “And I suggest that you take care of your wound. I

wouldn’t want you dying out of an infection just yet…”
