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
Sienna:I smiled as I entered the room to find Ayla standing in front of her children’s crib, purring at them. I purred in response, making her jump in surprise, and smiling, I gave her a gentle and assuring nod.“My apologies, I didn’t mean to scare you.” I said, and she lowered her eyes to the ground. “I am sorry, I was not aware of your presence, Luna, I was a bit distracted with the kids that I did not notice you arriving.” She said, and I nodded in assurance. “You needn’t worry, Ayla. I came to check on you and the kids as I have been a bit too busy to do so lately.” I said, and she smiled. She took a step back, silently asking me to approach her kids; however, I stayed still and simply watched from a distance. I couldn’t help but recall the incident between us, and knowing that she might still be upset that I had forced the nurses to take her kids to the incubator, I didn’t know how she would react. Therefore, I chose to keep my distance.“You are still upset with me.” She st
Arturo:I frowned when I entered the house as an uneasy feeling settled in my chest.The smell of blood filled my nostrils, and the thing was, I didn’t even know whose blood it was.Donatello frowned, and following the scent, we walked toward the garden to find blood in front of one of the trees. The smell of my wife’s shampoo filled my nostrils and I frowned before shaking my head. I didn’t wait for Donatello to comment before I ran toward the bedroom, hoping to find her asleep only for my heart to drop when I realized that her bed wasn’t even slept on.“Alpha?” Donatello asked, frowning in confusion before I shook my head in confusion. She wouldn’t have left the pack. I knew that she would have called me if that happened.“Check all the security cameras,” I said, holding my ground as I felt my ground shake under me. The last thing that I expected was to find that my wife wasn’t here when I came back. The fact that she didn’t call me before she went to bed was confusing enough to m
Sienna:My heart raced against my ribcage as the vision of my father being slaughtered played in my head.Flashback:“Do you really believe that you are worthy of being Alpha when it is me who killed your Alpha to begin with?” He asked, glaring daggers at me as I woke up. The smell of piss, vomit, and blood filled my nostrils as I tried focusing my blurry vision on him despite the headache that I was having. The man couldn’t be serious about what he was doing. He couldn’t be seriously challenging my husband using his own wife for his own advantage.He had me tied to a chair as he glared daggers at me. My heart raced against my ribcage, and I couldn’t help but fear what he would be doing to me if this proceeded. I knew that things were not going to be ending well, especially if Arturo heard of this right now. The smell of dead bodies had goosebumps rising over my body, making my heart race as I tried fighting the fear that was growing in my system.“You killed your own father?” I asked
