Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

if anyone would ask me how vie got to the house with Alaris bleeding in my arms and Leonardo in Caine’s, I would say that didn’t know

But seeing her body on the ground, filled with blood as she barely took any breaths made my vision blur. Everything around me seemed nonexistent, and the world just seemed to stop.

My one assurance was, despite being faint, I could still hear her heartbeat.

I sat in front of the infirmary room, the room where a glass wall separated us, watching her with Ashtoni and Alonso beside me.

Ashton barely got to calm himself down from crying, and it was taking everything in me not to break down.

The nurse’s words, “we managed to stop the bleeding, her lung was badly injured. We will keep her monitored, but we are going to have to be ready for everything that might happen.”

Flashback:

“Viktor? Leonardo?” I asked, looking at the pack doctors as they walked out of the surgery room. Neither one of the doctors were Alaria’s. Those who were in charge of her were yet to leave.

“Beta Leonardo’s surgery was done. He will be monitored for the night. The arrow hit his spleen, unfortunately, we needed to remove his spleen. He would survive without it, if he managed to get through the next few nights until he wakes up.” One of the doctors said, looking at me. “As for Viktor…”

“We are sorry for your loss, Alpha. His wounds were far too deep and his body couldn’t take the damage that was caused. We did try to revive him, three times, but when his heart stopped the fourth time, we couldn’t.” He said, making my heart drop. I stayed quiet, but took a step back as I waited. The wait was harder than I anticipated, and I knew that as the moments went on, the harder it becameThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I couldn’t even look at Alonso. He sat, quiet, looking at the ground. He wouldn’t eat, speak, or even look at anyone. It was as if his body was left without a soul, and it grew more painful by the minute.

“Ashton, how about you go upstairs and get some sleep? You are tired, and…”

“I am going to wait for mama, I want to see mamal” He said, stopping me. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him to my chest as he cried, hugging me tightly. “I want mama. Please, tell them to bring my mama, I want her.”

“She is going to come back to us, son. She can’t leave,” I whispered to him. “Tam sure that she won’t leave us.”

End of Flashback.

The sight of her with that arrow played in my head, time and time, as I looked at her chest rising and falling. I couldn’t say a word about it, I couldn’t even explain what was going on.

“Alpha, you need to eat,” Estonia, one of the pack g**s said, bringing me a plate. I shook my hood and looked at the kids. Both were exhausted and have fallen asleep on the chairs, neither one of them refused to got up from here. But I figured that it was time for them to be taken to rest.

“I’m not hungry, Estonia, but if you can take the kids upstairs. Bring the girls to take them to rest. They have exhausted themselves enough as it is.” I said, taking a deep breath, “I’ll be here when they wake up.”

She nodded, and I watched as she put the plate on the table in front of me. “You are going to need your strength, Alpha. I know that you might be tired, but you are going to need to eat to stand on your feet. Your pack and children need you. You cannot weaken, even your Luna is not going to like it.”

I didn’t say a word as she put a hand on my shoulder, gently squeezing it. “I’ll bring two of the girls with me to help with the kids.”

I looked at Alaria, and standing up from my chair, I slowly approached the glass window. I put my hand on the window for a moment, I couldn’t go inside yet. She was too weak for me to do so, I knew that for fact.

Wake up for me, Alaria. I can’t do this without you. Please, wake up for me…”

Iwalked inside the room where she slept, refusing to wake up, and I couldn’t help but find myself frowning

“Why are you still asleep?” I asked, looking at her lifeless body. The two assurances were the heart monitor and her chest which rate and fell with anch breath. “You are a wolf, Alaria. Why are you not healing?”

“Why the f**k did you take that arrow? I could have taken it. You would be alive, I would be on this bed, but you would be f**g alive! 1 snapped, looking at the machine. “Why are you depriving us from your beautiful eyes, just f**g why?”

I sat beside her, knowing that her nurses were watching me from the window. It’s been a week a whole f**g week with her eyes closed. Twice in that work where her heart almost stopped completely, and twice when we almost lost her.

“Why is your body not fighting, neonata? Just why are you still on this bed?” I asked, taking her hand in mine. I closed my eyes as I fought back the tears that almost fell from my eyes. Never in my life have I cried over a woman before, but never was I deeply in love. And now that I was, she was taken away from me just like that.

I kissed her palm, letting my lips linger there for a moment as I took in her scent.

“Ashton keeps asking about you daily, Alonso is not even talking. I don’t know what to do with them, Maria. We lost Viktor, Leonardo woke up, and you are still on this bed refusing to open your beautiful eyes.” I said, taking a deep breath. “Please, Alaria, I lay the world at your feet if I could. Please just f**g open your eyes for me. Allow me to see those beautiful eyes.”

I looked up at her, wishing that this were a movie or a book where she would wake up for me. But she didn’t

She just lay there, her chest rising and falling with each breath that she took as that heart monitor beat calmly, letting us know that her heartbeat was

calm.

“Llove you,” I said, keeping my eyes on her. “I know that it might be a little late, very late, but I f**g love you. I’m only ashamed that it took me this long to realize what it was to truly lose you. I’m so f**g sorry, baby girl.”

I turned to leave, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest and that was when I heard the faintest of voices calling.

“Enzo…
