DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Marchetti’s Obsession Chapter 24
Donato Marchetti
The human looks very frightened, I let me into her house after making it clear to her that I am Donato. I can hear her hea beating, I can tell she doesn't like the fact that I'm in her home, however, I need to know if the puppy is a Marchetti. “What are you doing here? -he asks, sitting down on the single sofa.
Ym in the country on business and wanted to stop by and say hello" I tell her, she nods and I cross my fingers. And I'm surprised to find that you have a son," I murmur, she tenses up, “My brother's," add, 'm not sure what I'm saying, but I'l confirm it.
“It's not your brother's, it's my son,” his brow furrows.
-And my brother's," I affirm. I remind you that babies don't make themselves," I say.
-It's not Enzo’s,” he lies to me.
“You're lying, I remind you that I'm a lion man,” I smile at him. -Relax, I'm not going to take your son away from you,” that seems to calm him down a bit. I would like to meet my nephew; he asks.
He sighs and stands up.
-Follow me,” the human leads me to the sleeping puppy.
“Why is he so small? -1 ask in confusion.
He's one month and fifteen days old, how big should he be? -That confuses me more, the puppy has the essence of my brother, I have no doubt that it is his son.
How many months was your pregnancy? -I ask.
-Nine,” he answers, I open my eyes in surprise.
Nine months! -1 exclaim.
shh..." I grimace.
It's impossible,” I whisper.
“What are you saying? It's normal for women to last those months pregnant,” he says.
From another human, but you were pregnant by a lion male, and especially one who is alpha,” I inform him. -The pregnancy must have lasted six months,” he adds.
six months,” she whispers.
-1s everything all right with the baby? 1 ask.
Yes, his paediatrician tells me he’s a very healthy boy,” she says.
Can I check him? She nods and I carefully take the baby out of the cot, cradle him in my arms and he opens his eyes. - He's beautiful, what's his name? -1 question.
Liam,” I smile.
-Hi Liam, I'm your uncle," I hold his little hand. Don't be scared,” I ask bringing my gaze to her, Mia nods and it's normal fo an alpha's cubs to transform when they are small, I show her my feline eyes and immediately the baby shows hers. “What are you doing? -I hear her ask me.
“I told you not to be scared,” the baby doesn't take long to turn into a puppy with his grandfather's black fur. I hear Mia gasp in surprise, I can tell she's never seen him do that before, Liam turns back into a naked human.
-God," his mother whispers.
-Relax, it doesn't hurt,” I run my finger over her and play with it. It's strange that your pregnancy lasted nine months, for z moment I thought you had a human baby, but Liam has Marchetti blood in his veins," I hand him to her so she can dress him.
In the first months of life we usually change shape, by the time we reach our first year the transformations stop happenir and when we are old enough we can do it at will, it hurts a lot the first time.
“What happened to make you leave Enzo? -1 ask, she sighs and looks at me.
-I regret to inform you that it was your brother who left me,” I frown.
It's impossible; I tell her.
“Well, in Enzo Marchetti’s life, anything is possible,” she lets out with sarcasm.
Mia, not to be crazy, but Enzo is in love with you, he's an idiot....
Ym not interested in knowing anything about him,” he interrupts me.
-1 have to say something, I can't keep quiet,” I confess. -Do you remember Kristin? -I ask, she nods. I found out that that
snake is working with someone, she will hurt Enzo, however, he won't believe my words because that woman has him
addicted to her poison,” I inform.
“What I do to your brother is not my problem,” I growl at him.
“What do you suppose will happen to you when she finds out you have a child with Enzo? -I question.
-She’s on the other side of the world, she won't find me," I sigh, she’s stubborn.
-It won't take her long to find you and she will because I will tell Enzo that she has a son," I tell her, she looks at me horrified.
-Don't you dare! -she screams at me.
-1 have to, the worst thing for a lion man is to be away from his children and it's the only way I can get Enzo to separate from Kristin, he'll look for you and lose interest in her I confess.
“You condemn my son to live in his world,” he says. -Please don't," I sigh.
-'m sorry Mia, 'm not going to hide this truth from my brother, Liam will need it in his life, I remind you that the puppy is not human, what will you do when it's his turn to transform for the first time? -You don't even have an idea how much it hurts to go through that alone,” I tell him, “Not telling Enzo that he has a child would be condemning the baby to any danger that exists," I add.
Not telling him this will keep him safe from his world,” 1 deny.
-How do you think I knew my brother has a son? -1 ask. My head of security is from my father’s pack, he recognised the scent of the alpha king's crown prince on Liam and any other supernatural being who knows Enzo will recognise the pupj and want to have him to harm the Marchetti family," I report, upset.
Prince? Alpha king?
1 know it's a lot of information to process, but you and my nephew are in danger, I thank God he let me find him first" 1 mutter. I return to Venice in three weeks, it's up to you to tell me if you will come back with me the day I return or wait oy Enzo to come and get you, I give you all those days to think about it, 1 take care of giving her my number and leave her house.
She must be in shock, however, this is no time for her to put her life at risk and even less so when my brother's son is in danger without someone who can protect him.
Send security people to guard the place and keep a low profile,” I order.
Ves alpha,” I look at the time and it's ten o'clock at night, the clock is ticking fast and I hope Mia makes the right decisior I arrive at the hotel and go straight to the room, the darkness is not a problem and I walk through the whole place, I stop front of the bed and turn on the light. I look at the boy with red hair, I sit on the edge and I can't help but touch his cheel and I notice that his temperature is very high.
-Adriano,” I move him until he wakes up.
Sir," he sits up.
“You have a fever, what's wrong? I ask.
-It's nothing serious, don't worry,” he murmurs. Tl let him sleep alone so as not to be a nuisance,” I hold him by the shoulder.
-Don't worry," tell him. Rest, I'll get you a fever pill and if you continue like that, I'l take you to the hospital,” the reddist haired boy lies down again.
It worries me to see him like that and the worst thing is that now he smells sweeter than before, it's strange, I get up to g to the reception and get the fever pill. 1 go back and make the boy take it, 1 £0 to the bathroom, undress and fill the bathtub with water, it's urgent that I get a relaxing shower.
I enter the water leaving my arms on the edges of the tub, I close my eyes and the smell of the boy is what fils my nostri I don't understand how he can smell different from other humans, Mia smells like Enzo, it's low the essence of my brothe in her, however, it's still present.
The bathroom door opens and in walks Adriano.
“Is something wrong? -1 ask confused, it's weird that he’s here.
The boy doesn't say anything, I can't even look at his eyes because his head is down, it's like he’s in total submission to a alpha... well I am one, but he’s human and he doesn't know that.
“Adriano,” I mutter, since he doesn’t answer my question. -Look at me,” I order, he immediately raises his head and I open my eyes in surprise to see his golden eyes. -What the f**k?
