Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Chapter 49

Alaria:

For the first time in my life, I found myself judging my own believes in this world.

It took everything in me to remind myself that the little boy had nothing to do with what his parents were doing.

“Mama?” Ashton asked, breaking my train of thoughts. I smiled and looked at him, shaking my head in question as I tried to distract myself from Enzo’s harsh words.

“Yes, baby?” I asked, clearing my throat to calm down. Alonso, who was standing behind. Ashton, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to speak.

“Did we upset you, Aunt Alaria?” He asked. I shook my head, giving the boy the best smile that I could muster. He didn’t deserve to be blamed for what his parents were doing. He didn’t deserve to be living in that regret.

“Not at all, why would you think that?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“You were quiet throughout the whole time after I left your room. I thought…”

“You didn’t do anything, Alonso.” I said, taking his hand in mine. I brought it to my lips, gently kissing his palm before looking at him. “The two of you are a light in this world, you need to keep that in mind.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“What do you mean?” Alonso asked, and I took Ashton’s hand in mine, bringing him closer to me. I knew that things were going to be different from here. Though I didn’t know how they were going to change, but I wasn’t dumb, I knew that they wouldn’t just leave things to settle without a fuss.

“The two of you are going to face challenges, a lot of them. You are going to grow older, and stronger; but as you do so, both of you, I want you to promise that you won’t let those who are going to try to break you do so.” I said, choosing my words carefully. “I don’t know. where things would be going from here. Everyone is going to be busy, you, Alonso are going to have school, and Ashton, you’ll be forced to focus on school too. You might not have the time to stay or play together as much.”

“I can study here, Auntie Alaria. I promise that I won’t distract Ashton. I will make sure that he studies too.” He said, and I smiled. I squeezed his hand gently. I didn’t know how I was to explain the situation to him. He was a kid, he didn’t deserve to be living this.

“You are going to need to ask your parents though. You don’t want them being upset since you’re staying here without their permission. You know, with your mom being pregnant, she is going to need you by her side…”

“Mama doesn’t even stay here,” he said, stopping me. “She doesn’t bother stay here and I have tutors that come to stay with me. I want to

stay here with you two. You help me, and you explain things to me better than my tutors and teachers.”

I took a deep breath as I smiled at him. I cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead, letting my lips linger there. I wasn’t going to stand in the face of a little boy. He didn’t deserve to be feeling out of place over something that is not even his fault.

“I am not going to stop you from coming here if you want. The door is always open, but you are going to have to speak to your mom if she asks where you are…”

“She can hear where I am, she can even catch my scent, Aunt Alaria. I didn’t go out. I am in the house, and even on the same floor. All they have to do is call my name.” He said, making my heart swell. I nodded, choosing not to argue with the boy. He wasn’t going to understand anyway. He was too young to do so. I doubted that he even knew that I was his father’s wife before his mother

“Alright,” I said, checking the time. “But it is getting late and you two are going to need to shower before supper. Can you do that without being upset with me?”

“Can I come to stay here after supper? I want to at least hear what happens at the end of the story. The two brothers and the woman who saved them. I want to know what is to become

of them.”

I smiled and cupped the boy’s cheek, gently running a finger over it. I knew not to blame: him for what his parents were doing. I knew to remind myself that it was not his fault.

I nodded in response, making the boy smile. If his parents had anything against it, they were going to have to suck it up. Adult problems shouldn’t break children down. And whatever fucking promise Enzo

thought that he could have. His threats or harsh words, he could suck them all up. I would know how to deal with them when they come. At least, for now, I was going to have to stand strong for not only my son, but for the boy who seemed

“Thank you. Auntie Alaria.” He said, and I nodded, running a finger over his..

“You are most welcome, kiddo.” I said, watching as he took a step back.

“I’ll go and shower then I will see you at dinner,” he said, and I nodded. He walked out of my room, and I smiled as I looked at Ashton whose eyes were fixed on mine.

“Mama, why don’t you become pregnant too?” Ashton asked, taking me off guard. I had to fight back laughing as I got up from the edge of the bed. Lifting my boy in my arms.

“Maybe one day, I will.” I said, taking him to the bathroom. “But now it is time for you to shower.”

“What does pregnant mean?” He asked, and I shook my head. I wasn’t going to hear the end of this right now.

“It is when a mama is blessed with a baby. You know, just like I was carrying you, a mama. would be carrying another baby.” I said, doing my best to explain the situation to him.

“Like a brother or sister?” He asked, and I nodded as I put him down in front of the tub. “You will bring another brother or sister?”

“Maybe one day, I will.” I said, and his eyes lit up. “And you are going to be the best big brother in the world. You know, I am going to need you to teach your brother or sister the things that I taught you.”

“I am going to teach them everything in this whole world.” He said, and I laughed.

“I am sure that you will.” I said, putting finger under his chin, “Now come on, arms up. It’s time for your shower, my little rascal…”
