Chapter 7

Enzo:

“You knew of my son…?”

“Of course, I did. The child is my nephew,” Ezio said, stopping me. I knew that my question came off as stupid, but the idea of having another child that I didn’t know of, a child that Alaria, the woman who was my wife, hid from me, I was speechless. “You let her go to bring in another woman, what did you expect? For me to come and tell you that your ex wife, the woman that you forced to break things off with you, had your baby?”

“How do you even know for sure that the baby is yours?” Katherine asked from behind me. Ezio raised an eyebrow at her and she shook her head in question. “You had me giving you a paternity test to prove that Alonso was yours, and he was a lot younger than her son.”

Her heart was racing and I could tell that she was frightened, but the question that she asked triggered me more than I could let out. Her eyes were fixed on Ezio for a second and the man let out a low and warning growl. It was a while after most of the guests have gone, and though I knew she was here, Alaria was nowhere to be

“I think that you of all people know, very well, that Alaria is not the type to spread her legs for random men…”

“Considering the fact the rumors that ran around, her leaving the house, and most likely needing money and a place to stay; I could believe that everything is possible.” She said. This time, it was my turn to growl as I glared at the woman. Her eyes met mine and I saw fear in them, one that I understood, but for her to throw such an accusation, now that wasn’t something that I was going to accept. “You asking for proof meant that you believed the same thing about me.”

“If the two of you are done bickering, you can take your leave.” Rebekah, Ezio’s mother said, stopping me before I could answer. “We have guests over and this is a respected place. The two of you are making fools of yourselves, of the pack, and of the family. Therefore, you can choose to stay here as guests who are coming to enjoy the ceremony can show yourselves out.”

I looked at Katherine for a second before nodding at the woman, silently apologizing to her. The fact that I knew that she was right annoyed me. Katherine
