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
Marcus: We walked out of the house without saying a word as I ignored the pain that was in my chest at the force of the woman’s punch. The fact that she actually dared to punch me the way that she did annoyed me more than I thought that she would. It was as if what I told her and what mom promised made no difference. I found my tongue completely tied to the point where I didn’t even know what to say. We got inside the car and mom glared at me the second we drove out of the Estate. “You had your tongue eaten by some…” “You said that your hex blocked their mating bond.” I said, stopping mom. “You told me that everything was going to go according to plan, and yet, I can tell now that you had nothing going according to whatever we planned. What do you think the other pack members would say when we went back to them? You know for fact that they were waiting for her ‘positive’ response about her giving up being the pack’s Alpha for them to submit to me as their Alpha.” “It blocked
Sienna: I walked into the bedroom, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest as I felt in my chest at the fact that I couldn’t even get my mother’s revenge. I couldn’t kill the woman who was the main reason behind my mother’s death. I knew that had it been her, things wouldn’t have reached what they have. If anything, I knew that my parents wouldn’t have reached that point. At least, my mother wouldn’t have been killed for him to be with Eli. Flashback: “Why? What have I done wrong to deserve such a fate?” She asked, looking at my father with pleading eyes. “I gave you a beautiful daughter who you know loves the steps that you take. I have practically worshiped you as mate, why are you doing this to me?” I didn’t even know what they were talking about at the time. I was in the playing room, and they thought that I couldn’t hear or see them. But they had my attention. Despite me being no older than four, I knew that my mother was crying and I knew that I couldn’t do anything abou
Arturo: I wrapped my arm around my wife as the two of us entered an Italian restaurant that I rented for the two of us for the afternoon. The bookings on the restaurant were initially fully booked, but seeing my name and the money that I put, the manager didn’t think twice before choosing to accept allowing us to book the place for the next five hours. He didn’t even mind refunding his customers double the prices of their initial bookings as compensation. “Where are we going, Arturo?” Sienna asked, and I smiled, taking her hand in mine, intertwining our fingers. “The place is literally empty. We are the only ones here.” “I am aware.” I said, smiling at her and she frowned. “I rented the place for us for the day.” “You’re being serious right now?” She asked, making me chuckle before bringing her knuckle to my lips. I kissed it gently and she smiled as her cheeks reddened. “Yes,” I answered, wrapping my arm around her once again as I guided her toward the one table that was set
Sienna: I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips at the fact that my husband wanted to start a family with me. It was something that I wouldn’t have imagined before. But the way he looked at me told me that he was being completely honest. I ran my fingers through my hair untangling it before I brushed it. The fact that I knew that we still needed to find out who killed my father didn’t slip my mind. The man died at Arturo’s club, and that fact alone was disturbing. I didn’t even understand what he was doing at the club. The man wasn’t invited here, Arturo would have at least known about it, but judging by the fact that he was there when it wasn’t even working hours, and that Arturo wasn’t there, I couldn’t understand what was going on. Marcus’s eyes meeting mine played in my mind. The man who was a stranger to me was my brother. The two of us didn’t even know one another and yet, it seemed like we were supposed to. The fact that he looked familiar didn’t even escape my
Arturo:I walked out of the house to find Donatello waiting for me in the car.The two of us had to go to the club to investigate what happened. It was not something that I planned to let go of. I knew that Sienna would be waiting to hear about what happened, and though she didn't mention it I knew that she was thankful for what I was doing.“How is she?” Donatello asked, knowing that my wife was more broken than she let out. It upset me to see that she hid her pain. And though I understood why she was used to doing so, I didn't like it.“She is better, though I don’t really know if she is being as honest as I would like her to be about this. It is something that upset me to see that she didn’t trust me enough to tell me how she really felt at times, but I couldn’t blame her. The two of us have had enough conflicts in the short period that we have been married to just stop being together, and all of them seemed to come from me.The thing was, it killed me inside to know that she was i
