inside of my mouth felt dry, my
tongue was the consistency of sandpaper as I tried to open and
close my jaw to produce some saliva. "Wh-why are you doing all
this?" I managed to croak out as I glared up at Marco. Sure, he was
something nice to look at, but my heart felt nothing but hatred
towards him for inflicting so much trouble in my life.
     
    Inhaling deeply, Marco let out a loud sigh,
"Your sister...my mate...was my life." Marco responded grabbing a
hold of the sides of his head with both his hands. "I can't go on
living without her...I tried, but I can't get her out of my
mind."
     
    'So what in the hell does any
of this have to do with me?' I wanted to shout at him,
but something told me it was against my better judgement. Who knows
what his mental status is and whether or not this will cause him to
lash out at me?
     
    "You're the next best thing. When I saw you I
knew I had to have you. The devotion you have for your mate is
unlike any I've ever seen. Nothing at all like your sister. She
didn't want me." Marco growled angrily, his face filling with anger
and pain.
    Gee, I wonder why Mia didn't want you, maybe she
was smart enough to realize your screws weren't too tight. There's
got to be a reason why she ran from him, a reason why she needed to
escape and not be found. I wondered if he knew why?
     
    "Why didn't she want you? You seemed like a
great guy." I dared to ask, wanting to try and play it like I was
taking his side. Maybe this can get me some information. Note how I
used the word seemed. He truly did seem like a great guy before Mia
died, didn't he? What happened between then and now is a completely
untold story.
     
    "She was already in love with someone
else...another wolf." Marco's tone deepened as it filled with hurt.
"I was willing to be her friend, until she found room in her heart
to love me too. But my mother thought it was a stupid idea and had
him killed. I swore to Mia I didn't have anything to do with it,
but she didn't believe me. That's why she ran, she thought I was a
murderer." His voice drifted off breaking at the end. "I never got
the chance to tell her the truth."
     
    Well, it just keeps on getting better, doesn't
it? "Maria's your mom?" I murmured in confusion. How the hell did
she crawl her way into the Manzanares Pack, into my Dad's arms? Did
he know she's Marco's mom? That evil conniving witch! I swear if
she hurts my brothers or my Dad, she's a dead woman.
     
    Marco nodded his head taking a seat on the edge
of the bed. I wanted to cringe away, shrink into the mattress
somehow, but it was physically impossible. As much as I willed my
body to move away, I didn't have the energy to do so. I felt like a
blob just lying there unable to move.
     
    "My mother and father were in love, best
friends, but they weren't mates. She got pregnant with me a few
months before my father met his true mate." Marco whispered his
eyes drifting off in thought. "He abandoned my pregnant mother and
married Taina, who was unable to get pregnant to produce an heir
for the pack. So being his only offspring, he had no other choice
but to take me in and raise me with his Luna to become future Alpha
of the pack."
     
    Wow, this is way too much to process. Let me
rewind and filter this through my brain slowly. No wonder why Maria
is such a bitter old hag, the only man she loved left her bare foot
and pregnant to marry his mate. She should've known what she was
getting herself into though, shouldn't she?
     
    What I didn't comprehend was, what's any of this
has to do with my family? Mia was in love with another wolf, I
wonder who he was and whether my brothers knew of this? Hearing all
of this kind of made me feel sorry for Marco, just a teeny tiny
bit. He was willing to be supportive and stay by Mia's side, maybe
in hopes that she'd feel the mate attraction and fall in love with
him. Damn Maria for everything she's caused. I can now officially
blame her for my sister's death. If she hadn't of done what she
did,
