November 4th
10 minutes later Elena was hooked up to the oxygen machine and being carried on a stretcher into an ambulance.
"I'll keep you updated," Antonio, who had only arrived a few minutes before, said to Leo before getting in the ambulance with Rosa. "Take the girls home," he added looking over to the rest of his daughters.
"Ella, I should go," Connor said taking my hand.
I nodded, "But I'll see you again soon...right?"
He smiled, "Of course. I'll come anytime you want."
I then watched as he jogged off, out of the base and Leo ushered me along with his other four sisters into his car.
For 10 minutes nobody spoke until Leo finally broke the silence by clearing his throat.
"This is never happening again," He said.
"Leo-" Maria began.
"No," he said in an authoritative tone.
"Let me speak," Maria demanded.
"Do not argue with me. Our sister could die because she got hurt fighting a battle she should never have been allowed to go anywhere near," Leo said his voice deepening.
"Then why is it okay for Mateo, Marco and Carlos to fight but not us?" Maria growled. "What if one of them almost died?"
"They are grown men and they've had the proper training," Leo responded. "I'd rather put their lives at risk than yours."
"Well, maybe I'd rather die fighting than let others die for me," Maria growled.
"Stop growling at me, Maria. Whilst you are living in this pack you will abide by my rules and if you don't like them tough. I am your Alpha no matter how closely related we are," Leo replied his voice only one step away from it's deepest.
"Then maybe I should go to another pack then. A pack that doesn't stop me from doing something I want to do just because I'm a woman," she replied.
"You aren't leaving," Leo growled.
"Oh yeah?" She replied. "As soon as Elena is better we can both leave together. Live as rogues if we have to."
"And what would Alonzo have to say about that?" Leo asked. (Alonzo was the name of Maria's mate if you didn't already know).
