Alejandro Gonzalez

*“The thing about being undercover is that after a while, you start to forget which version of yourself is real.” I used to believe in the law—black and white, right and wrong. Now? I live in the gray. For almost two years, I’ve been Alejandro “Sombra” Gonzalez, a trusted member of La Sombra Sangrienta—a criminal empire that operates like a family, ruthless yet bound by its own strict code of honor. But the truth? I’m a cop, sent to tear them apart from the inside. I’ve done this before. Infiltrated gangs. Brought down cartels. Walked away without looking back. But this time… something’s different. I should hate them. I should be focused on gathering evidence, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But I see the way they protect their own, how they take care of the people the system forgot. And then there’s you—the one person I wasn’t supposed to get close to. But you’re forcing me to ask questions I never have before. I know how this story is supposed to end—I complete my mission, burn every bridge, and move on. But for the first time, I’m not sure I want to. So tell me… if you were me, what would you do?*
