Chapter 42

Alaria:

I watched as the children slept on Ashton’s bed.

After what happened, Alonso didn’t want to sleep in his own room, and knowing that his mother was going to stay in the infirmary, I didn’t stop the kid from doing what he wanted. It was his father who had an issue with me; I wasn’t going to let him get in my head to hurt the child.

I ran my fingers through my son’s hair, smiling as he slept peacefully beside his older brother.

Enzo’s words played in my head, and I couldn’t help but replace myself tearing up at the fact that he knew that he was his legitimate son. He knew that the two of us were married when I found out that I was pregnant, and yet, he still announced him to be a bastard. It was a stab in the gut. One that I couldn’t do anything about.

My phone rang, taking me off guard as it buzzed on the bedside table beside the children’s bed. My eyes widened and I jumped to pick it up in fear that it would wake one of them up.

Thankfully, it didn’t.

I looked at the caller ID and was surprised when I saw that it was the Petrov Alpha heir.

Damon.

Flashback:

“What brings you here, Alaria?” He asked, looking at me with a smirk on his face. I ran my fingers through my son’s hair, keeping my eyes on the man.

“I was signing my son up in school. You know, I wasn’t living here before, but now that I am, I believe that it would be the best option for him.” I said, choosing to be honest. I knew that tomorrow was going to be a big day for Ashton, and I knew that I was going to take advantage of it to replace myself an office to work in. I couldn’t bring myself to leave him at home with them alone. Not when I trusted none of them in that place. “What about you?

“No,” he said, chuckling as he shook his head. “My niece goes to this school. Tatiana. She is my sister’s little one.”

“Interesting.” I said, and he smiled. “Doesn’t your sister pick her up on a regular basis?”

“Depending on whether or not she is busy with her husband. You know, sometimes they tend to have things to tend to, and I am a single man who has no life in their eyes.” He said, and I laughed. He got down on his knee in front of Ashton before extending his hand. “And you must be the champion who is going to go to this school.”

“Hi,” Ashton said, and I smiled, removing my hand from my son’s head, giving him the chance to speak and move a lot more comfortably. He looked at me and I winked at him, allowing him to speak to the man. Damon smiled at me and winked, making me blush before looking away from him.

Little did I know was that I was going to see the heir Alpha a lot more times than I believed that I would.

“Hello, bud. Are you excited for your new school?” He asked, and Ashton smiled, nodding excitedly. I smiled at the two of them and Ashton looked up at me.

“The school is very big and I like it.” He said, and Damon nodded.

“It is, and it still becomes bigger as you grow. You know, there are different places for older students. Even I used to get lost here when I picked up my youngest brother.” He said, and Ashton’s eyes widened in excitement. I shook my head and smiled before he extended a hand to shake his. “Do you promise to be good in school? A young man like yourself shouldn’t give his mom a fuss when he is in school.”

“I promise,” Ashton said, and I smiled. His eyes met mine as he stood to face me before he handed me his phone.

“What am I to do with this?” I asked, and he smirked.

“Add your number, of course.” He said, and I laughed. “That is, unless you want me to use my own methods of replaceing it.”

“A little.” He said, and I laughed. I dialed my number and handed him my phone before mine rang, making me raise an eyebrow. “I was checking whether it was your real number or you chose to give me a mockup.”

“Ha, ha,” I said, and he laughed. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Damon.”

“The pleasure is mine, Alaria.” He said, extending his hand to Ashton, “but the biggest pleasure goes to you, little one.”

“Thank you,” my son said, making Damon smile.

“I’ll give you a call,” he said, looking at me, making me blush. “You know, I doubt that you think that I just took your number to save it, aye, beautiful?”

End of Flashback.

“You really should stop calling me at this hour, Damon.” I said, and he chuckled.

“Well, you are either busy searching for an office or you refuse to answer during the day as you’re busy with your son. I figured a while past bedtime could be the right option.” He said, and I smiled, shaking my head as I sat on my bed. I kept my eyes on the kids as I spoke, and I couldn’t help but smile as I found myself feeling somewhat relieved that I was going to be able to distract myself.

“So, what did you call me for?” I asked, and the man chuckled.

“I assume a simple hello is not going to be an answer to your question, would it?” He asked, and I laughed.

“Not at all, especially since you don’t know who I am. You have been calling on a daily basis, which I replace interesting, actually. But then again, you don’t give me an explanation to why you’re calling.” I said, and he chuckled.

“Does there have to be a reason to why I’m calling you? You know, someone could call because he is a friend?” He asked, and I shook my head as I looked out the window. My heart ached as I knew that I was far from being in the place that I wanted to be.

“You don’t know me enough to call me a friend, do you?” I asked, and I could picture him smirking.

“Well, the first start to us being friends is me getting to know you.” He said, and I laughed, shaking my head at the man. The idea of me making a friend, a guy friend to be exact was one that I never believed to be possible. With everything that I went through and with Enzo and my brother, I just distanced myself from everything and everyone.

“And how do you intend to do so, Alpha?” I asked, taking a glance at the kids for a second before walking toward my dresser to put medicine on my hand. The last thing that I needed was for it to be bruised, and I knew that it would judging by the force that Enzo put

on il

“Well, we can start by a cup of coffee tomorrow after you drop your son to school?” He suggested. “I also have an option for you as an office. If you’re willing to take it. I can make a few arrangements. I have a feeling that you might like it too. So, what do you say?”

“You really are thinking of everything, aren’t you?” I asked, and he chuckled.

“Well, if you are willing to say yes; then I’ll be thinking of a lot more than just that.” He said,

and I blushed.

“Sure,” I said, shaking my head at myself. “We can go for coffee tomorrow and then we can see this office you’re talking about. We’ll decide what happens from there.”

“Great! I’ll be waiting for you by the school.” He said, and I hummed in response.

Until then, Damon,”

“Good night. Alaria.” He said, and I smiled, biting my bottom lip..

“Good night.” I said, hanging up. I put my phone down on my dresser as I looked myself in the mirror for a second. Smiling as if I were some teenager who was asked out for a date for the first time in her life.

“Get a grip, Alaria. Now is not the time to be excited about this. Especially not with the

umbe of things that you have to do.” I said, voicing out my own concern. “Not when you have a threat like them that you have to deal with…”
