Sienna:I stood up from the couch as I saw Arturo walking inside.His eyes met mine for a second, softening when he saw how tense I was before he slowly approached me. He knew that his reaction worried me, but I knew that he didn’t know my reasons. I doubted that he was aware of what my father did considering what I caught from his sister and what happened.However, that didn’t last for too long as Donatello walked toward him.His eyes met mine for a second and I frowned when I saw that he looked away completely, seeming more worried than I thought he would be. Considering the fact that the man was my father, I didn’t really understand why Donatello would be as worried, but then again, something else could have happened.Arturo frowned at Donatello’s sight before he nodded, silently dismissing him. My husband walked toward me and slowly wrapped his arms around me as he pulled me in for a hug. A heavy feeling settled in my chest, and it was one that I couldn’t find the right words to v
Arturo: I debated on whether or not to proceed with my conversation with Sienna before deciding against it. She needed to calm down, and that was something that was not going to happen if I pressed on her. Therefore, I chose to leave the house with Donatello who was currently waiting for me in the car. The man looked like he saw a ghost, and raising an eyebrow, I couldn’t help but glare at the man who chose to speak to my mate about something like this instead of me. The idea of the two of them talking was something, but the fact that she learned about something that happened at MY club before I did was a whole other thing. “Before you start asking questions…” “You told her before you told me about her father being at the club.” I said, stopping the man whose eyes dropped to his lap as he avoided mine. “Why?” “This is why.” He said, showing me his phone to reveal the almost trashed club. I frowned at the sight of it, but that wasn’t what caught my attention. It was the fact tha
Sienna:I sat on the edge of the bed as I tried to clear my mind after my encounter with Arturo.The fact that his words hurt me more than I could describe would not be a lie, but I was forced to stay quiet about it as I knew that I still had to deal with the pack members who were downstairs, clearly surprised about the latest member of the pack.The fact that I also needed to check on Ayla for Lorenzo was something that I knew, but leaving the bedroom in the state that I was in was something that I currently dreaded, especially since I knew that I looked exhausted from crying. My one resolve would be makeup, but I knew that even that wouldn’t conceal the pain that I was feeling. If anything, I was in more pain than I ever thought that I would be in, and that was something that I didn’t like, especially since I knew that the reason behind it was the man who I thought that I could trust.I ran my fingers through my hair as a few tears fell from my eyes before I shook my head, dismissin
Arturo:“Fucks sake,” I said, frowning in confusion at the sight of the trashed place.The club had its windows broken, glasses, bottles, chairs, tables, and even poles.However, that wasn’t what caught my attention mainly. It was the smell of blood that filled the area.I honestly wondered how the security team wasn’t able to get the man, but I understood after my men reached the club a while ago; the men were dead. Whoever did this had slaughtered them. I walked toward the bodies which were covered in a white sheet before revealing their faces only to frown when I saw Sienna’s father. The man’s face was rearranged, and a few stabs on his chest must have been what killed him. I looked down at my feet for a second, wondering how I was going to handle this. The last thing I wanted to think of was how I was going to tell Sienna about this; however, I knew that I couldn’t hide this from her. If she didn’t hear of this from me, it would be from Eli or even worse, the elders, and I prefer
Sienna:My heart dropped to my stomach as I tried processing what my husband just said. The pain that I felt was something that I couldn’t have imagined ever going through. It was something that I did not understand, especially since he broke everything in me. But for some reason, I felt torn apart completely. It was like something in me was broken, and now I didn’t know how things were going to go.I lay on our bed, and I haven’t been moving for days and nights. I couldn’t find myself doing anything no matter how much I tried. Arturo has been trying to get me to eat something, but he knew for fact that I wasn’t able to do so. I would barely eat a bite or two before pushing the tray away.I have been waiting for news on the funeral for days after hearing that my father’s body was sent to the pack. But so far, either they weren’t going to have one or I was not welcome. Either way, no one bothered to respond, and by time, I was just choosing to give up. The pain was too much for me to
Arturo:I kept my arms wrapped around Sienna as if life depended on it. At this point, I believed that her life truly did. This was the first time that I have seen her in such pain since the two of us got married, and though the two of us haven’t been married for long, I got used to her cheerful side. The woman was one to love laughing even in the worst of states. This time, she just seemed completely lost. If anything, I could tell that she was breaking inside and just didn’t know how to express it.She moved from my arms, wanting to get up; however, I tightened them around her, not allowing her to. The last thing that I wanted was for her to think that she was a burden since I was holding her in my arms. If anything, it was a blessing to me to do so.“I need to go to the bathroom, Arturo.” She said, her voice cold and void of emotions. It was something that somehow upset me inside, but I knew not to press on her. I was lucky to have her speaking to me to begin with.“Sienna…”“I am
Sienna: Now, if anyone would have told me that my days could have gotten harder, I would have shaken my head and shook them off. In my head, nothing could beat how hard things were for me; however, now, I doubted that my life could be getting any easier. If anything, at this point, I genuinely believed that it would be impossible for that to happen. However, now was not the time to dwell on that, Arturo and I had a plan to fulfill, and me being weak was not going to do so. I walked out of the bathroom with a heavy heart at what was going to happen. I didn’t even know what to expect or who this Marcus was, but I knew for fact that they wouldn’t leave things to be as easy or simple as they were. This was Eli that we were talking about. That woman has made sure to make my life hell simply because she hated my existence. Though she was never one to really say it out loud. I knew that her anger came from the fact that I looked somewhat like my mother. In her mind, me being his daugh
Arturo: I watched as the man fumbled to find the right words to respond to my wife’s question. And I had to admit, I was more than thankful for the fact that she managed to keep her act of being strong despite the pain that she was in.If anything, I didn’t want to pressure her to do something that she didn’t want to do; however, I knew that this was important, and seeing as she insisted on doing it, I knew not to tell her against it. It was good that she was putting the man in place. Us being mates was something that we chose to hide, but now, considering that things reached to this point, we thought that it would be best to voice it out.“I believe that my wife has asked you a question, Marcus.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest. His eyes studied my expression. “And she expects an answer.” “The woman has not been around the pack…”“Her father, YOUR Alpha, was alive. Hence the fact that she didn’t need to be around. But now, I do believe that she can be around the pack.” I sai
