Alpha Enzo novel Chapter 5

Enzo:

“Can you please help me with the dress?” Katherine asked, walking toward me. I turned to look at her only to frown when I saw the flaming red dress that she was wearing.

It exposed her body and brought it out, and though I knew that in normal situations, it would be a nice dress to wear; this was a ceremony, and not a club that we were going to.

“Change it, Katherine,” I said, and she frowned. Her eyes met mine and the woman shook her head in question, waiting for my response.

“Enzo, I already have my jewelry fixed and makeup…”

“I said a word. The dress is not one for a ceremony, and you fucking know it. Unless you aim to have the other packs talking shit behind our backs…”

“Why would you think that they would be saying anything behind…?” She started before stopping herself. “Enzo, I know that you are not excited about this ceremony, but please don’t take your anger out on me. I have done nothing wrong and the dress is one that the two of us chose together.”

She put her hands on my chest, wanting to help me fix my buttons; however, I put mine over hers, removing them. The woman frowned, but looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes as I turned to the mirror.

“We chose it for a club opening. I doubt that you don’t have other dresses to wear. You are going to look presentable as you are going to be represented as the pack’s Luna, and the last thing that I am going to want is for you to make a fool out of us.” I said, looking at the woman through the mirror. “And I expect you to keep an eye on Alonso. You are his mother and I do not want him to cause a fuss or get into an argument with another kid…”

“He rarely ever does, and if he does do it, it is because that kid…”

“I don’t care what your reason is, Katherine. I want this night to end without a problem, or the two of us are going to have a problem. And believe me, I am the last person…”

“It’s because you know that she’s going to be there, isn’t it?” Katherine asked, making me tense. The woman knew not to mention Alaria, and she knew better than to do so right now, but I knew that it was her jealousy that was making her speak the way that she was. She looked down at her feet, seeing as I didn’t respond before tending to her own zipper. “I am not going to change the dress.”

“I said a word, Katherine.”

“And I said mine,” she said, her tone hardening. “I don’t expect to find her stealing my light while I stand by my husband’s side, and I am going to be sure that Alonso stays disciplined.”
