Chapter 5
Enzo:
“Can you please help me with the dress?” Katherine asked, walking toward me. I turned to look at her only to frown when I saw the flaming red dress that she was wearing.
It exposed her body and brought it out, and though I knew that in normal
situations, it would be a nice dress to wear; this was a ceremony, and not a club that we were going to.
“Change it, Katherine,” I said, and she frowned. Her eyes met mine and the woman shook her head in question, waiting for my response.
“Enzo, I already have my jewelry fixed and makeup…..”
“I said a word. The dress is not one for a ceremony, and you fucking know it. Unless you aim to have the other packs talking shit behind our backs…”
“Why would you think that they would be saying anything behind…?” She started before stopping herself. “Enzo, I know that you are not excited about this ceremony, but please don’t take your anger out on me. I have done nothing wrong and the dress is one that the two of us chose together.”
She put her hands on my chest, wanting to help me fix my buttons; however, I put mine over hers, removing them. The woman frowned, but looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes as I turned to the mirror.
“We chose it for a club opening. I doubt that you don’t have other dresses to wear. You are going to look presentable as you are going to be represented as the pack’s Luna, and the last thing that I am going to want is for you to make a fool out of us.” I said, looking at the woman through the mirror. “And I
expect you to keep an eye on Alonso. You are his mother and I do not want him to cause a fuss or get into an argument with another kid…”
“He rarely ever does, and if he does do it, it is because that kid…”
“I don’t care what your reason is, Katherine. I want this night to end without a problem, or the two of us are going to have a problem. And believe me, I am the last person…”
“It’s because you know that she’s going to be there, isn’t it?” Katherine asked,

making me tense. The woman knew not to mention Alaria, and she knew better than to do so right now, but I knew that it was her jealousy that was making her speak the way that she was. She looked down at her feet, seeing as I didn’t respond before tending to her own zipper. “I am not going to change the dress.”
“I said a word, Katherine.”
“And I said mine,” she said, her tone hardening. “I don’t expect to find her stealing my light while I stand by my husband’s side, and I am going to be sure that Alonso stays disciplined.”
She didn’t wait for me to respond as she walked toward the door, knowing well enough that she not only crossed a limit, but that she was going to be paying for it. later. But she also knew that time wasn’t in my favor, and right now, the last thing that I was going to need was to argue with her.
I shook my head at the woman whose heartbeat seemed to threaten an ongoing explosion, and though she was quiet and controlled, I knew that she was more than a little scared of my reaction. Her rushing outside, nearly forgetting to properly close the zipper gave that out a little more than she realized.
“I’ll be waiting for you downstairs. I just need to put on my coat….
I watched, in silence, as Katherine struggled to keep herself looking decent when. she saw the other women with their mates and husbands.
Each one of them wore fine dresses, fit for a gathering and ceremony like this one, and I knew that she saw herself looking as less than they did. The dress that she wore looked sexy, yes, I knew not to deny that; but it was neither formal nor decent for such an event, and considering that she chose to go against me, I knew that she was immediately regretting her decision.
“Enzo, how are you?” Alpha Ezio said, smiling at me. I smiled back and extended a hand to shake his. The two of us were still in a tough situation when it came to being friends, but being allies, I knew that we both supported one another regardless of the issues between his sister and I.
“I am well, Ezio, how are you? I am sorry for your loss.” I said, and he smiled, his eyes hiding more pain than he would let out. Being as ill as he was, his father held on for a longer period than it was expected. But I knew that losing one’s parent was not one that a person would want to deal with.

“Thank you,” he said, and I nodded. He looked at Katherine, eyeing her up and down for a second before nodding. He didn’t speak to the woman, not once did he say a word to her, and it was for known
reasons. She avoided his gaze for a second, but it wasn’t until a hand squeezed his shoulder gently, her scent filling my nostrils, that both Katherine and I tensed.
Her eyes met mine and it seemed as if it was yesterday since the two of us got the divorce. Her eyes were sharper, and smile wider, but it was her extending her hand to Katherine that took the two of us off guard.
“Alpha Enzo, Luna Katherine, thank you for doing us the honor of coming to my brother’s ceremony.” She said, watching as Katherine hesitated before she extended her own hand, shaking Alaria’s.
Alaria took a step back, but it wasn’t until I heard a small voice speaking from behind her, asking a question, that everything around me seemed to stop. And it wasn’t until my eyes met his that I looked at the woman, shaking my head in question as she kept her eyes on the little boy, putting her hand on the back of his head, bringing him to greet Katherine and I.
He stood shyly by her side, and she ran her finger over his hair gently, looking me in the eye as she did. Her heart raced, and I saw tears welling up in her eyes for a second before she blinked twice, controlling herself as she smiled. My wolf growing alert as she spoke the next sentence that made everything around me.
stop.
“I would like to introduce you my son,” she said, her voice cracking for a moment. “Ashton…”
