Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Alaria: I walked inside the Estate, the Estate that I once called my home. An Estate that I was banished from five years ago. Flashback: Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You could have fought against the divorce. You should have fought against what he wanted…” “I was not going to fight the man who clearly wanted nothing with me!” I said, stopping my mother. My father, who was watching the scene in silence, tapped his hand on the desk twice. Little did I know that this was the last time that I was going to see him. The last thing that I would have expected was to find myself alone in this. “You are his wife. Whether or not he wanted anything with you would not matter. The duty between the two of you was sacred and YOU should have fought for it to last. But no, Alaria has to get her way, she has to do everything that we do NOT want her to do.” Mother snapped at me. Luna Rebekah Venier, my father’s wife and Luna, was a woman who did not like things to take the path that she doesn’t want them to. And when they did, the anger that she showed was one that no man would want to find himself dealing with.
“The man brought the divorce paper to me, what was I supposed to do? Tell him that I wanted to be with him? Despite all the insults, you expected me to still be willing to be with him?” I asked, taken aback by my mother’s bluntness. Her eves were fixed on mine for a second too long fixed on mine for a second too long before my father, who.chose to interfere to defend his mate, stood up.. “Your marriage was not of love nor was it of pleasure.” He said, not bothering to flinch for a second. “You had your duties, and neither one of them were fulfilled…”
“I fulfilled my part of loyalty, respect, and love to him. If he refused to see it…” “A Luna is to give her Alpha a child.” He said, stopping me. I had to fight back looking at my stomach as my baby was the one thing that I could think of. I didn’t even know why I chose to keep it, but I knew, deep down, that I wouldn’t have been able to go for an abortion anyway. It wasn’t something that I would be doing. Chapter 2 “You failed to do that, and you failed to hold your place as his Luna an the mother of his only heir.” I stayed quiet for a second, looking down at my feet as I felt like I was at a loss for words. I didn’t even know how I was supposed to react; I just knew that this was the last thing that I expected to hear from them. My eyes met Ezio’s, and though I knew that he wanted to speak, I shook my head, stopping him from interfering. The last thing that I wanted for him was to find. himself stuck in a mess that had no end because of me. “You are to leave this pack, immediately.” My father, Alpha Mario Venier said, making my heart drop to my stomach. “As an Alpha’s order, I do not even want. you to attend my funeral. What goes around outside my pack, I do not care about. What happens to you after my death, I do not care. But as long as I live and breathe, you are not to step foot inside the pack, do you f ucking understand me?” End of Flashback.
“Mama, did you live here before?” My son, Ashton asked, breaking my train of thoughts. I looked at him, and despite the pain that I felt, nodded with a smile on my face. It felt good to be home. The idea of me coming here was absurd, but considering the fact that Ezio came to speak to me himself. I knew not to break his word. “Yes, baby. When mama was younger, she used to live here.” I said, and his eyes. widened.
“It’s very big.” He said, and I laughed, putting a hand on the back of his head. It was indeed a big Estate, being inherited from my grandfather, who got it from his own. father, the Estate has been growing as our pack did.
“Yes! The number of times that your mama got lost here are countless. But you get used to it after a while.” I said, and he pouted. “We are not going home again?” He asked, and my eyes softened. “It would depend on how things went from here, piccolo lupo. Regardless, we are going to be happy with whatever choice we make, yeah? And I promise you not to make it alone. The two of us are going to talk about it first and then we can see what would happen,” I said, my voice softening as I spoke, knowing that I was going to be sure to make him the strong wolf that I wanted him to be. LIN#20% 14:45 Chapter 2 “Yes, mama.” He said, and I smiled. I ran my fingers through his hair before the door opened, revealing Ezio, my one backbone, support, and best friend. No matter the struggle, and no matter how many times he was warned by my father; he always found a way to come and see me when I was away. “Uncle Ezio!” Ashton cried out excitedly. He ran toward him, and Ezio smiled, lifting him in his arms. He hugged him tightly and I smiled at the sight as I walked toward them.
Ezio put my so down before wrapping his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug that I couldn’t help but miss. It was times when I was completely alone and tired that I found myself missing my family’s embrace. And the fact that despite his pain, he chose to call me, wanting me to be by his side after father’s funeral and during his ceremony meant a lot to me. “Welcome home, sorella.” Sister. He said, and I looked around the place where I grew older. “It feels good to be home, fratello,” brother.
