Alpha Ezio

Chapter 10

Ezio:

I watched as Aurora sat in the new room, the room that I knew that Claire assigned for her.

It was something that annoyed me. I knew that it was something that the woman would be thankful for. Though I didn’t know how far this was going to be. I didn’t want things to end up turning against me, but knowing how the situation was; I knew not to count on that for too long.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, shaking my head at Aurora. Claire was not here, I knew that she was outside tending to a few things.

“Your wife asked me to be here. You can ask her if you want, and not me.” She said, and I scoffed.

“I am curious about the game that you are playing, but then again, I doubt that you know what it is. You are going to end up burning yourself, though. It is a warning that I am going to give you.” I said, and she took a deep breath.

“I didn’t want to be carrying your child, Ezio.” She said, and I shook my head at her lie.

“Then you could have lost the baby long before it grew in your womb, but no, you chose to want the child.” She frowned, and looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes.

“Who wants to be in my situation? That is something that I am curious about.” She said, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked up at me, and I could swear that I saw a determination to fight, one for war, in her eyes. Her anger was clear, but she knew to control herself and not reflect it. “Let me ask you this, which woman would want to be in my place? No family by her side, her mate rejecting her the second he’s taken her virginity, treating her as if she was some kind of w***e that he pleasured himself with to feed his hunger…”

“What did you expect? When I kissed you, did you really think that I was going to want anything from you?” I asked, looking down at her. My body towered over hers, but she didn’t care, she kept her eyes on mine. “You are nothing but an omega, a low rank. Who the f**k did you think you were in comparison to the Alpha?”

“You made a choice, I didn’t force you into it.” I said, and she looked away from me, her eyes welling up with tears as she took a deep breath. “I don’t want to see your face lurking around me. And trust me when I say…”

“Do you really believe that I want to be by your side?” She asked, stopping me. “While yes, you didn’t force me into anything; I never expected the Alpha who was supposedly there to protect his pack members would turn out to be a prick who was after his pleasure.”

“You should be thankful for the fact that you are not only carrying my child, but the fact that I choose not to lay a hand on a woman.” I said, looking down at her. “Now get the f*****g hell out of my sight before I make sure to make you regret ever thinking of accepting Claire’s offer…”

******************************

“Why did you allow her to stay here?” I asked, shaking my head at my wife who was taking off her earrings.

“Ezio, you know that she wasn’t safe anywhere else. Her parents could have hurt her, and I don’t want…”

“You are placing too much care and thought over a woman that is an omega. A low damn rank in the pack. She can take care of her own baby and it is not like this child is an orphan for you to be concerned about. Aurora is no baby…”

“You are going to punish her, Ezio. I don’t know what you are going to decide. We don’t know who the baby’s father is, might as well care for the woman until she gives birth.” She said, stopping me. She took my hand in hers, gently squeezing it. “You need to relax. You are far too tense for your own good, and while I understand your reason; the last thing that I want is for you to end up exhausting yourself over something like this.”

“She is an omega living in an Alpha’s house, Claire. A low rank living amongst the Alpha and Luna. How the hell do you think the other pack members would react? And even if they didn’t, what moral do you have to explain this?” I asked, removing my hand from my wife’s. Claire looked at me for a moment before she smiled, nodding in understanding.

“I am going to tell them that she is my guest. I will not allow anyone to speak of it as long as we want to do this. You are going to need to accept that this is something that we want. You allowing others to control…”

“I am allowing you to take charge of something that I am against, Claire. But if it is going to…”

“I am your wife and this pack’s Luna. While yes, what I am doing is unusual, we can always claim that she is here for my service. I can even take her in to assist me as my personnel. This way, no one is going to speak of it, and we can use her low rank for something useful.” She said, stopping me. I opened my mouth to speak, but she stood on her toes, connecting her lips with mine, stopping me.

The two of us pulled away to look one another in the eye, and she smiled, her smile bright as she seemed to be a little more proud than I believed to be necessary.

“Just trust me, Ezio.” She whispered. “You worry about what goes on outside the pack, and leave the minor issues within up to me, okay…?”
