Enzo:

I watched as Alaria walked out of the elevator alongside Ashton.

Katherine was speaking to the other women, gloating about the ring that I got her for our anniversary, knowing that it mostly triggered jealousy between the ladies. And being in our class and place, it was something that was considered as normal.

Ashton played by his mother’s side while she smiled down at him, both of them clearly content and calm. Their eyes met, and he took her hand, holding it as the two of them walked toward the front desk of the reception.

eyes met mine as

“Leaving so soon?” I asked, cutting her conversation short. Her she turned to face me, and Ashton looked up at me, and he smiled.

“Mama says we’re going to have a pack now.” He said, and I raised an amused eyebrow at the woman. The anger that I saw in Alaria’s eyes was one that I knew well, but she knew better than to say a word about it now. Even she had an image to keep, and being beside me, she knew that she would be catching the eyes of many, especially as my ex with my wife being in the same lobby.

“Did she now?” I asked, kneeling on one knee in front of him. He nodded before he looked up at Alaria who hesitated for a second before letting his hand go. Her eyes were fixed on me for a second, but then she was quick to turn to the

receptionist.

“I would like to check out tomorrow morning, can you please arrange that?” She asked, not bothering to look at me.

“Why not today?” I asked, standing as I looked at the womart for a second. She looked at the receptionist and nodded at her to tend to what she wanted her to do before she turned to face me..

“I deserve ONE day of peace without having to see your face in front of me, don’t you agree?” She asked, lowering her voice to above a whisper as she clearly kept in mind that Ashton was watching her. I looked down at my son for a second before looking up at her. “I know that you want to break something in me, and I will not allow it. If I am going to stay in not plan to leave my

“Ma’am, your checkout for tomorrow has been confirmed.” The receptionist said,

and Alaria nodded, silently thanking the woman. She looked at Ashton for a second, checking on her son who was looking up at her with a smile on his face.

“Look who we have here.” Katherine said, walking toward us. Her heels clicked on the ground with each step that she took, and I could see Alaria’s eyes harden as she looked at the woman.

“How about we go to the kids‘ room? I am sure that you’re going to want to play with the slide.” Alaria said, smiling at Ashton who nodded. She looked at me for a second before taking a breath. “I’ll come

and speak to you in a bit. Wait for me in the restaurant.”

“Giving orders now?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at her. She scoffed and shook her head at me, her hand shaking as she clenched then unclenched her fists.

“When it includes my son; I’ll give more than just a few orders.” She said, taking at step back as she took Ashton’s hand. “I’ll meet you here in a bit.”

I watched as she walked toward the stairs which led to the play area for the kids. There were a number of nannies and maids who were trained to take care of them within the hotel while their parents relaxed, tended to meetings, galas, and social events, and being a safe ground, I knew that this was a good option to have.

I walked toward the restaurant, booking a table for the two of us, knowing that Katherine being around wasn’t going to solve anything between Alaria and I right now. The woman and I needed to talk in private, and I needed to lay my rules and I knew that many of them would be ones that my wife would be questioning.

“Are you going to keep allowing her to cross her limits with you, Enzo?” Katherine. asked, shaking her head in question. “I know that if it were anyone else…”

“Did I allow you to speak to me?” I asked, stopping the woman. She took a step back, completely startled by my response, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“You just booked the table for the two of you, and I did not speak. You are speaking to her, allowing her to speak to you in a way that would normally have you slitting a man’s throat, and yet, here you are, questioning and arguing with me?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “Enzo, I am your wife. She is not…”

“Are you done?” I asked, stopping the woman from completing her sentence. She gulped, looking down at her feet for a second before she took a step back.

like giving me.” She said, and I nodded, sarcasm obvious in my expression. I took a step back, not bothering to respond as she stood, perplexed and surprised by my reaction.

“You should show that respect first to earn it, Katherine.” I said, knowing that she could hear me. My voice was above a whisper, for her ears to hear alone. She sucked in a harsh breath and I walked toward the lobby. “You can go back to the pack. Your place is not here, and I think that it is unwise of you to leave the pack’s heir alone for a whole day, wouldn’t you agree, LUNA?”
