Luca's POV
"I'm sorry, Alpha Loren," the Alpha of a large pack in the North of Mexico began as we sat around a table in his office. "You know that I support you and would do anything to help but I can do nothing but offer you my men, guns and cash. We have no information on Martinez. The man is a criminal mastermind."
"You've been battling him for years and you have nothing?" Leo asked slamming my fist onto his desk. "Nothing at all?"
This was the sixth pack we'd visited with zero success and I could tell Leo was getting more and more frustrated.
"His signals are untraceable, his men are loyal and he operates in top secrecy. Everything is covered. All I can do for my pack is focus on defending my own territory and people from him. We don't even bother trying to defeat the Martinez cartel. It's futile."
"He has my Luna," Leo said, a look of desperation on his face. "I don't have a choice but to go against him."
"And I will do everything I can to assist," the Mexican Alpha replied, bowing his head.
Leo then stood up and straightened himself up before taking a deep breath.
"Thank you, Alpha Garcia," he said with a nod. "I will be sure to keep you updated and I appreciate your loyalty."
Leo then marched out of the office, leaving me to give the slightly frightened looking Alpha a reassuring nod and smile.
When I got back out to the car, I found Leo with bleeding knuckles stood by a very shaken looking tree surrounded by a bed of prematurely lost leaves, some of which were still floating to the floor.
These days, he mostly had his emotions under control. But when it came to Ella and her safety...that was another story.
"The men and the guns are useless without having any idea where to find him," he growled. "And the money will lead us into what is most likely a trap and end in all three of our deaths. What the fuck are we supposed to do?!"
I sighed and leant against the car, folding my arms in front of me.
"I have no idea."
"Any word from Max?" he asked me.
