Chapter 168 Chapter 168


    Leo''s POV


    My phone began to buzz in my pocket. When I pulled it out, it disyed an unknown number on the


    screen.


    "Who''s calling?" Luca, who was driving the car whilst I sat in the passenger seat, asked.


    "I don''t know," I replied swiping to answer.


    "Who is this?" I asked.


    "Hello, Leonardo," a deep voice said after a few rings. "It''s Andrea Martinez."


    I instantly gestured for Luca to stop the car and sat up straight.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I don''t doubt that you have heard of me so I won''t bother exining who I am in the same way you


    don''t need to exin who you are. How brilliant it is to finally get the chance to speak to you, the most


    famous Alpha in the world," he continued.


    "Cut the shit," I growled. "Where is my mate?"


    "Ooh, a temper just like your Luna," heughed. "And I''m here with her right now in fact. You see, I


    know about your little phone call earlier and I''m pissed-"


    "What have you done to her?" I said beginning to feel the blood inside me boil.


    "It isn''t what I''ve done that should worry you but what I''m about to do. She''s caused me a lot of trouble


    and now she has to pay," Martinez replied. "So I''m going to fuck her and I''m going to enjoy it."


    I clenched my fist around my phone. I just about managed to stop myself from crushing it right there


    and then but I shook with fury all the same. Never had I felt so much anger towards another singr


    person.


    I heard a muffled crye from E. The pain and desperation in her voice was real and something


    you rarely heard from E Jones.


    "You know who I am, Martinez-"


    "I am well aware," he replied. "Leonardo Loren. The most ruthlessly terrifying man to ever live."


    "Then you''ll be well aware of what I do to people that do things that anger me," Leo said. "And raping


    my Luna is top of that list."


    "You''ve got nothing on me, Loren. Even if you do find me, you''re alone, outnumbered and we have


    guns," he said in an amused tone. "And rx, I''ll ensure that she has fun. After all, it is thest thing


    she''ll do before death."


    I then heard the ripping of some kinda of clothing.


    "Get your hands off my mate," I ordered.


    "I know you''re not used to being disobeyed but on this asion, you''re just going to have to deal with


    it. I don''t answer to you, Loren."


    "Leo, please go," E said. "I don''t want you to hear this."


    "No," he stated. "50 thousand dors and you stop her immediately."


    "You''re going to have to go a bit higher than that, Alpha. I own a drug cartel, 50,000 is but a drop in an


    ocean," Martinez scoffed.


    "100,000."


    "150 and I let you say goodbye," Andrea said.


    "300 and you don''t touch, kill or hurt her and you give her back to me," I said.


    "Your mate is worth far more than that in the sex trafficking business," he said cing his hand on my


    hips. "She''s very pretty by the way."


    "How much do you fucking want?" I growled.


    "How about...if you meet me in Hermosillo with 600 in cash tomorrow afternoon, I will ensure that she is


    delivered back to you alive. For an extra 200 thousand, you can have her untouched," he replied.


    I nced at Luca. He was looking incredibly concerned because he knew as well as I did that getting


    800 thousand dors in cash in less than 24 hours was going to be a huge problem.


    "Yes or no, Loren? It is my final offer," he said.


    "Deal," I replied finally. "800 thousand dors."


    What choice did I have? I couldn''t let him hurt E and if nothing else it bought us time.


    "2 o clock. Don''t bete," Andrea said before hanging up.


    "Alpha-" Luca began.


    "I don''t know," I interrupted saving him of even asking the question. "I have the money but getting it


    here and in cash is almost impossible."


    I put my head in my hands, taking deep breaths to try and calm down and clear my mind to think


    logically about this.


    "Do we even know that we can trust him to keep his word?" he asked.


    "We need a n. And fast," I replied.


    There were a few moments of silence before I spoke again.


    "I know a few packs down here," I said. "They''ve been fighting with Martinez''s cartel for years. We


    should contact the Alphas. They might have some idea about where we should even start and if


    nothing else, lend us the money."


    "Good idea," Luca agreed.
