Chapter 121
-Alaria:
“You really are a lucky woman, I have to admit that much to you.” Elder Caspian
said, and I raised an amused eyebrow.
“I don’t call it lucky, I call it knowing what is right. Even Enzo knows that I
wouldn’t put him, our son, and everyone around us in danger. It is not in my
nature, and I am against doing anything that would hurt a child as well.” I said,
and he took a deep breath. “My son is my priority, and I am not going to put him
in danger, I wasn’t, even if it meant separating him from his father for his
safety.”
“But you knew that he would have been safe being the Alpha’s son. You could
have told Enzo.” He said, and I shook my head, making the man raise an
eyebrow.
“Had I told him, things would have grown more complicated. He didn’t feel the
child growing at the time, I will admit, our bond wasn’t as strong, and it was too
early for him to feel it anyway. But I know that he might have started comparing
with Alonso. Taking the fact that he wanted to get rid of me, being with Katerina
was always a dream to him, I would have been the one biting it in the bum. I
didn’t want to find myself in such a situation, and frankly, I was growing too
tired of everything that I had to deal with at the time.” I said, explaining the
situation to the elder.
“Ad yet, you chose to hide the child…”
“Would you have told him, if not you, anyone that you know, would have told
him had they been in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy shoes?” I asked, stopping the man. “Alone, tired, and mostly abandoned. The
man that I was in love with wanted nothing to do with me, and I knew that I had
to make a choice. He could have easily askedto let go of my baby at the
time, and though it is not something that I want to think of, it is always a
possibility when anger takes place. I didn’t want to do anything that would risk
my baby’s safety, even if it was something like this.”
“The fact that you took the decision upon emotion is not something that I like,
but putting in mind that you seem to have thought of everything and all angles,
I am impressed. You and Enzo have spoken of matters, but you know that if you
choose to want to fight this, you are going to need to stand strong, and for your
son to be named his heir, you are to be his wife.” He said, makingtake a
deep breath. “Otherwise, what difference would he be from Jacob? Even if you
technically were married to him, you hid the child while he married another
woman. You could be accused of many things, and I doubt that you are going to
like it if that happens.”
“And that is why I am not after…”
“It is not about you, Alaria. You are putting your son in the sshoes of the
man that
you are fighting.” He said, stopping me. “While I understand that it is not in your
intentions, you and Enzo have a different bond when it comes to Ashton, it is
what it is in our laws. And I think that you‘ should know to respect them the way
that they are.”

“Otherwise, you are to nhim a bastard?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at the
man. Enzo was standing by the door. He nodded at me, and I had to fight back
the small smile. The man didn’t know that Enzo and I had our different
agreements and bonds.
“It is in our laws.”

“Is it in your laws for Alaria to marry a married man?” Enzo asked, walking
inside the room. Elder Caspian turned to face him, standing between the two of
us, clearly looking annoyed. “Because even if I want to marry her, and trust me,
no man wouldn’t want to have her as a wife. It is only a shthat I found out
about it a little later than necessary, I cannot marry her when I have another
wife, can I?”
“As far as I am concerned, Katerina was never your wife.”
“Based on the council and legality, yes. I never even marked her as my own, but
if your terms work both ways, everyone knows her as a wife. I cannot simply
divorce her in front of others if she does not agree, and I cannot marry Alaria by
forcing her into something like this.” Enzo said, eyeing the man carefully.
“Alonso is not my son, not my heir, and will never be an heir. I wanted to
protect
put him him, and I still do. I raised as my own for years, and the last thing that I
am going to do is in harms way, but I have to put my child and blood first. I am
not going to risk my son’s safety for Alonso, and I surely will not nhim a
bastard…”
“Everyone knows Alonso as your child, and it is the reason why your claim is
strong as Alpha.”
“Then they will know Ashton as my son, and if they wish to doubt my Alpha
claim’s strength, I am more than willing to fight. The winner would be the Alpha
whether or not they like it, and trustwhen I say, I do not intend to go down
without a fight. But I am more than willing to beg for the woman’s forgiveness,
on her own terms, when the tcomes. Right now she is under pressure, is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmworried and concerned, and I do not intend to put her in a tough situation.”
“Enzo…”
“If there is nothing that you are to add, you may leave. The pack already got
what they wanted, and it is the approval of war. The rest depends on what Alaria
and I decide, and trustwhen I say, even if she doesn’t choose to want to
acceptas a husband, lover, and mate, I would rather not have a son than
call my child a bastard. Ashton is to be my heir…”
“What if something happens? You have no spare, and the one that should have
been deemed a
spare…

“Alonso is not to be my heir, and you can announce it to the council, the other
packs, and the world. I have ONE heir, and he is Ashton, and if you choose not
to respect it, then that it is on you. But trust me, I am not the easy type when it
comes to being judged, and those who knowshould know that.” Enzo said,
stopping him. “I will have my men walk you to the door. I have other matters to
take care of, and I believe that your visit has been a little overdue…”
