Chapter 98
Katherine:
“Mama?” I heard Alonso ask, taking me off guard as I heard his voice for the first time in weeks.
Llooked at my son and my heart skipped a beat as I took sight of him as he looked at me. His oxygen mask was still on his face, but just hearing his voice was enough to make tears form in my eyes as 1 got up from the chair that I was sitting on. I kissed his forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment before pulling away as I tried to process whether or not I heard him right.
“I’m thirsty, mama,” He said, and I cried,
The bedroom door burst open, and I looked up to find Jacob standing in front of me. His eyes met mine and I nodded as a small smile which was filled with both guilt and pain as I looked at him.
The fact that I hurt him the way that I did was one that I wasn’t going to forgive myself for, but I was going to be sure that I got the revenge that he deserved from here. I wasn’t going to let what he went through go in vain. The power that he deserved was going to be his.
“You can only dab a wet napkin on his lips. We need the doctors to check on him before he’s able to get a full drink of water.” The nurse said, and I nodded. I looked at the woman for a second, watching as she handed me a wet napkin, and I dabbed it on lips, gently wetting them.

“How are you, baby? How are you feeling?” I asked, keeping my eyes on him.
“Where is daddy? I want to see him.” He said, making my stomach churn. Thankfully, Jacob chose to stay quiet, leaving me to handle the moment my way. And I had to admit, I didn’t know how to do so. The fear that I had of losing him after what I did was something that hurt me, and I didn’t know how I was going to explain to him that Enzo wasn’t going to be seeing him again, at least, not for a long time, and not as a family member. The next time that they met, they were going to be enemies.
“You are going to need to rest today, baby. We are going to see everyone that you want later, okay?” I asked, my voice softening as I kept my eyes on him. Alonso looked at me, studying my expression for a moment before sleepily nodding. “Do you want the doctors to come and check on you now? I am sure that you are going to want to go to our new home soon.”

“Where are we going?” He asked, and I smiled, taking his hand in mine, gently squeezing it.
“You are going to come to my house, kiddo. This is going to be your new home now? Jacob said, looking at Alonso. Alonso’s eyes met Jacob’s, and for a moment, I saw hesitation in his expression, more like worry and fear, something that I understood well
Even I saw danger in his father’s eyes, but I knew that I was going to do what it took to protect my boy. I wasn’t going to allow him to harm him, and I most definitely wasn’t going to allow him or anyone at that, to take his place. I just needed to secure his rights and powers. Only then would I be willing to let the reigns go.
“Are we going to see daddy there?” He asked, repeating his question as he asked about Enzo. I looked away from my baby as I knew that this was something that was going to piss Jacob off. The last thing that I needed or wanted was for him to take his anger our on my baby.
I opened my mouth to speak when the doctor and nurses walked inside the room, breaking our conversation. I looked at the women and nodded, thankful, somehow, for the favor that Damon has given us. One that I knew I owed him for. And I knew that the one thing that I could do to pay him back is to warn him against Jacob.
A war of brother would never be so bloody, and I knew that it would be my chance to react and take charge of both packs, the legitimate and bastards. Alaria and Enzo are going to know what it is to be fighting me the way that they did, and I am going to be sure that those who held danger to both me and my son knew what consequence it would hold to do so.
“I will leave you to check on him. Jacob, I want to talk to you” I said, looking at the man. He raised an eyebrow at me, and Alonso didn’t say a word to tell me otherwise. If anything, it was as if he was glad that I wasn’t in the room.
