60 Making 

A Choice ALEJANDRO “Please” She pleaded, taking a seat on a chair opposite my desk.

“You’re asking me to f*****g send you to your death.” I said quietly. “How the f**k do you expect me to agree to that? I know that it’s hard living without your mate but…” I looked down at my hands, the slight scorch mark on my palm healing over before I took another cigarette out. “I am asking you to make the smarter choice. Someone who yearns to be by their mate’s side and has adult children, over someone who is leaving their eight-year-old as Alpha and their mate behind. It makes obvious sense which is the better option.” She explained quietly. “And how will you tell Raihana that her mother is going to sacrifice herself?”

“The very same way you would have had to tell Skyla and Kataleya. The only difference is Raihana is a woman, not a child.” F**k her logic. Even if it made f*****g sense, I am not going to let her do this. I couldn’t… “No Maria.” I took a drag on my cigarette. “I’m doing this, if you don’t agree, then I will take this to Elijah.” She replied, her eyes flashing dangerously.

“Don’t f*****g do that s**t, obviously he’ll f*****g side you.” I growled coldly. “Elijah will side with the one for who it makes more sense to do this. I force myself out of bed every morning to carry on, I love you all, but it’s hard without half your soul.” She sighed, sitting back in the seat and crossing her legs.

A pose that wasn’t very Maria, who would usually sit with her legs tucked to the side and hands in her lap. Right now it was as if I was talking to a boss, not a prim and proper Ms Perfect, but she is a f*****g queen after all. Her grey eyes watched me sharply. “From heaven, I will watch over my family, but you have so much left to do. I don’t like to set an ultimatum but we both know that there’s more logic in me doing this. So please, if Rafael and I ever meant anything to you, you will allow me-” 1

A menacing growl left my lips, my eyes blazing red. “Do not f*****g use that s**t on me, you know what Raf meant to me and that I consider you my f*****g sister. I am not letting you f*****g-” “Do not growl at me like an animal!” She snapped, irritation clear in her voice.

Did she actually just call me a f*****g animal? We were, but she sure made it sound like a f*****g insult.

I glared at her and she simply shook her head as if she was talking to a f*****g pup. 1

“Maria-”

“I am no longer asking your opinion. I am doing this because I want to… I have contemplated suicide, several times Alejandro, but I will not go against my beliefs… That is not what Rafael

Talk to Ri… and I’m talking to her too, like I want to make sure she’s f*****g ok with it.” A small smile crossed her lips. “Thank you, I will.” She promised softly. Our eyes met and the severity of what I agreed to… No, this was wrong, she couldn’t do this s**t. I could tell Rayhan or stop her.
