Enzo

I frowned when I looked at Katherine as she lay on the chair beside Alonso.

He was still in the hospital and was still asleep, something that angered me as I knew that I was forced to stay quiet, at least until he woke up and we went home.

“Enzo?” Katherine called, her eyes widening in surprise when she took sight of me. I looked at her and she walked toward me, wanting to wrap her arms around me as to pull me in for a hug. I had to stop myself from pulling away, reminding myself of the game that I was going to have to play. A game where she was going to have to believe that I didn’t know anything.

I hugged her back and she sighed as she laid her head on my chest. “He is refusing to wake up.”

I kept my arm wrapped around her, knowing not to push her away, knowing not to let her know that I knew of her stupid game. A game that she was trying to play on me.

“He will wake up soon, Katherine. He is going to need to heal. You heard the doctors, he inhaled way too much carbon dioxide, he is going to need to heal from it before he’s able to wake up.” I said, and she sucked in a harsh breath. “Are you okay? Did anything?”

And I had to stop myself from scoffing as not to catch her attention. The woman was losing herself and her mind, and the idea of what she was doing was one that I found absurd. The game that she was playing made me question whether or not I ever knew her in the first place. “I don’t know what to do, Enzo. Things are just tiring and I find myself thinking

of the worst.”

“You don’t have to think of the worst. What you need to do right now is try to think straight. While yes, I know that you are tired and scared, and I know that you have so much on your mind, but there are things that you need to focus on. They are more important for you right now. Alonso is in safe hands, but you have your pack and home to take care of too. They
