"Room 302, but she already has a visitor,” the nurse at the station said, but Aztec didn't care. Instead, he just nodded at the nurse like he would be patient enough and wait for the visitor to walk out. He wouldn't and he knew that too.
"Thank you,” Aztec managed to spell out before he disappeared.
Broderick looked at his boss whose stress levels seemed to have spiked. The last time he saw Aztec like this was when his mother had died and that was one tough situation that even Derek had to fight with Aztec to snap him back to reality.
Broderick wanted to tell the alpha that Luna would be okay, but even he was worried.
He had seen how Sandra had been that morning and while he wanted to say that to Aztec, there was a very h

[SANDRA]"Well damn,” Gemma said when she saw Aztec pinning Sandra down on the bed. If Sandra had not been in the hospital, this whole setup would have been a little too romantic but there was nothing romantic about it, especially when Sandra was raging mad. She hated that after everything that happened, she would always have to see Beatrice's face, mocking her, reminding her that she would always come second in Aztec's life. Sandra didn’t mind coming second, honestly, but the sight of Beatrice made her want to send the woman on a trip to hell and force her there.'Maybe if I rip out her heart, she will have a better life, yeah?’ Sandra thought to herself angrily, ignoring her mate who was staring at her like the woman was being delusional. The hospital room suddenly went a little too quiet that even Aztec felt bad for how this had turned out. This wasn't what he was hoping to see when he came from the pack. He hadn’t wanted her to be sick and much less in this state, looking like

[SANDRA] With Gemma out the door, the room had gotten too tense. The doctor looked like he just walked in on a tornado, not to mention the Marshall alpha looked like he was in a fight with his own beta. Everything was a mess, and Sandra was still feeling like shit. She wanted the world to stop for a moment so she could get a hold of herself and her thoughts, but it seemed like everything around her would always remind her of the sham marriage, and its awful side effects. "Should I come back some other time?” the doctor asked after a long agonizing silence, and Beatrice, just scoffed. Broderic turned to look at Beatrice, who was definitely getting herself into more trouble than she could handle at the moment. "You’re coming with me,” Broderick said to Beatrice, who just sighed and followed him outside. They were clearly not needed there and the alpha needed to fix things with his luna. Maybe they would all be okay after the doctor was done with Sandra. "Take him with you,” Sadra

[AZTEC]"Well, you’re gonna have to act on that warning, because I need to know where the fuck my sweet Franzel is. Oh, and if you lie to me, I’m going to fight you, again,” Gemma said, snapping Aztec out of his trance. They had been too busy, too occupied to even realize that the woman that had all come here for, was gone."Hold up, what?” Aztec asked as he looked around the room."I checked everywhere, she’s not here. Someone’s taken her and from the look of things, you had every reason to kidnap her. So alpha, will you tell me where she is, or will I have to call the police?” Gemma said to Aztec who just looked at her like she had a few loose screws. Now that he looked at her, he understood how

[AZTEC]Walking out of the control room, Aztec wanted blood. Sure, the woman beside him was constantly reminding him that they were in the hospital, but then this was also the same place his Luna had been taken. He had been too occupied in making sure the pack was safe for her to return, that he had forgotten to check up on her. That was a miss on his end and Aztec knew that too. Maybe when this was over, he would find Sandra and treat her right, but would that change anything? Would it make her like him or would it make her think that he was probably playing more games with her?"My sweet Franzel isn't here now. You can go back to Beatrice since you love her so much, even when she’s proven to be a pain in the ass to the woman who you mar

[AZTEC] "I’m coming with you,” Gemma said nonchalantly, like it was the most normal thing she had ever spoken to the werewolf alpha. Aztec looked at her, finally convinced that she was an unhinged woman. Where had she even gotten the cuffs from? Or did military lieutenants on leave, walk around with cuffs like Christmas presents? Damn, Aztec had so many questions, but as they stood at the exit of the hospital, Aztec knew the woman was never going to give him some peace, but a man could try, no? "You? Coming with me?” Aztec asked, raising a brow at the woman, an act that usually could have gotten people squirming under his gaze. Hell, even Rodrigo did squirm at the gaze sometimes. However, Gemma looked at him, unfazed, like she was bored out of her mind, not to mention her clear impatience. She wanted to get out of here, but she wanted to be a part of the search party for Sandra too, so she had done the only thing she would have thought of at the moment. "Yes, are you deaf?” Ge

[AZTEC]"Hold up, you two. Beatrice? What were you doing at Luna's office?” Aztec asked just when he was about to get into the waiting car. He was curious about what his ex-girlfriend had done to his wife. Was she the reason Sandra had ended up at the hospital? The reason Sandra’s mate mark was triggered? Oh, how Aztec was desperate for answers.Beatrice looked like she wanted the ground to open because she knew just how good Aztec Marshall was at condemning people. She didn’t want him condemning her here, not in front of the hospital and all of these people. He didn't have the mental capacity to deal with that, at least not today."Alpha, we need to leave. We don't have time to reminisce,” Rodrigo said to Aztec who looked at his beta hating the fact that he had to agree with him, especially at this point. However, Rodrigo was right, airing out their dirty laundry and that too in public and an era when the internet was the home of everything, was certainly not the smartest idea."Fi

[SCARLET]At the Franzel mansion, Scarlet was pissed. She had been expecting her mother to help her with Alfred but it had gone wrong in so many ways. She knew there was nothing she could do to make it happen, so she had to find a way. She hoped to strike a deal with Sandra and get the money, after all, Sandra wasn't the rightful luna of the Marshall pack."What if I call Sandra?” Scarlet asked herself just before her phone chimed up and a text showed. She was reluctant to open it given the time of day, but she knew she didn’t have any option left. Besides, she couldn't ignore it. It could be her mother calling her to give her the money or the bank notification reminding her that she had gotten money, but was that really it?"Send me the money or the alpha will know of your family’s transgressions against him. I may be an omega, but we both know Alpha Aztec values, everyone, in the pack,” the text read, and Scarlet had to hold herself back from trashing her phone. She didn't want t

[AZTEC]"Stay still, alpha boy, or man or whatever,” Gemma said once they pulled over at the Marshall parking lot. It had been a thirty-minute ride, thanks to the traffic, but it wasn't long enough to keep Beatrice quiet. Hell, even with the loud music, the woman had been a nuisance that the alpha would probably never think twice before dropping off at some ditch and forgetting about. She had been complaining the whole ride, but no one had been listening to her. Maybe it was a good thing they had come to the collective decision to ignore her till she got a hold of her missing mannerisms. The woman was a real pain, dammit."What is it this time?” Aztec asked as he looked at the human soldier, the woman who couldn't give two shits about his status or the status of anyone in the SUV. If anything, the only reason Gemma hadn't made a run for it and gone back to her life was that she wanted to make sure Sandra was safe. It was the only reason she had come along. She wasn’t scared of Azt

[AZTEC] "He divorced me, remember?” Sandra argued and Rodrigo just let out a deep chuckle."Divorced you? Girl, you’re everything to him. You even have shares in your name at the house of Marshall. If anything he gave you the second largest shares in the company and even had an asset finance account for you. “If he really divorced you, and if that was just alimony then why did he take his time to make sure that it was in the right spot? Why would he pay too much attention to the little details and keep everything the way it needed to be then? “He worships you, Gina. He believed in you and you are everything to him. Even after the year ended, he never filed for a divorce. Instead, he bought properties and put them in his name and yourself. “He said that he was hoping that maybe someday, if he never met you again, maybe the finances and the wealth in your name would be enough of an apology for what he did to you. You were his lifeline, Gina.“You're his lifeline and without you, he

[AZTEC]“Sir, do you need anything?” a nurse said, as she tapped Aztec who was sleeping on the cold benches. For the rest of the day, the young Marshall had not even gotten up, let alone even making a move from where he had been laying. He had stared at the same spot, waiting and listening. He had heard when the general came to his daughters and even when the general checked out. He had heard the hospital was scheduled and frankly him being there worried people a lot. He looked tired and fatigued even though he had been sleeping."No, I’m alright, thank you,” Aztec said as he went back to sleep. He was hungry and hadn't eaten shit in so many hours. He had been too busy worrying about Sandra and Gemma and he couldn't even think of something else. "But sir, you’ve been sleeping here the whole day. Are you okay? We did notice that your temperatures are alternating rapidly. Please let us take care of you. “Besides, you are in the hospital and it wouldn't be fair if we let you suffer e

[AZTEC] For hours, Aztec Marshall sat in the hospital waiting room on the ground floor, while his wife and Gemma were on the third floor. He wanted to go to them, but he was also worried that he would be a little too possessive of his mate and they would send him away. He didn't want to do that to them and he didn't want to be kicked out of the hospital. He was going to be diligent, even though he could see people taking photos of him. Thanks to his popularity and everything that related with his life, Aztec had become an internet topic. Everyone was gushing over him for being brave and wanted to thank him in person, and on the other hand, he was cuddled up on one of the waiting benches, sick and tired. He hadn't slept in weeks and he didn't remember the last time he ever slept. His nights and days were filled with Sandra, though it was somewhat heartbreaking that the woman he wanted so much hated him."Where are my daughters?” General Stevens came to the hospital a few hours afte

[AZTEC] The nation was busy, everyone was having all eyes on the Franzels and the Marshalls. There were so many things happening at the same time, but none of them could have prepared anyone for the impact that Sandra Franzel had on them all. For starters, she had been the reason Scarlet had been murdered by Aztec, an act that would eventually be investigated, but the chances of the Franzels coming out and saying that their alpha was the one who had murdered their daughter were close to none.They had betrayed their alpha first and that was grounds for treason in the werewolf culture. They didn't stand a chance. They knew that they didn't have any other option left because with Aztec Marshall, it was either death or death. Nothing else came in between especially when it came to the Luna he was still hoping to bring to his side. The alpha was raging, there were explosions which also meant that the military was eventually going to be involved."Gemma, don't leave this hospital. I wil

[AZTEC]It wasn't daily that explosions were experienced in one of the most secure buildings in the city of Adamera, not to mention the sheer fact that Sandra, Aztec’s ex had been the one targeted. That wasn't coincidence, and even the blind to the situation could see it all too. It was crazy, because everyone knew not to go against Aztec Marshall."I will take care of her well. I always have,” Logan said, making Aztec grit his teeth. He didn’t like Logan and frankly the same could be said for the medical personnel too. He wasn't a fan of Aztec from the moment he and Gemma had learned that Sandra was being forced into a contract marriage with the man. Of course as usual they had tried to give Sandra options but then her parents had been insistent, and Sandra had also figured that there was no point in trying to run away from her horrible reality.That was because no matter what she did, she would always come back to that point of helplessness. She never wanted to burden her friends

[AZTEC]"I'll kill them,” Aztec managed out when he reached the company and saw the explosion. He could still see the damage there. The pavements were filled with wish shards, and the car had been blown to bits. Everyone was checking on everyone, and those that were hit by the shards were trying to get some medical care. There were still no paramedics, save for the pack members who had come to help the people who had been hurt. It had been a command by the pack’s beta, Rodrigo and so far, they were doing so well. Everyone seemed busy, and Gemma was studying the car for anything and everything that could tell them who their attacker was. She was checking where the explosion had started from and what had happened. Sure she knew that someone was trying to send a message, but even in her state, she was hoping that she could be of help to the people there.“I’ll kill them all,” Aztec whispered agAin as he took in the sight before him. He was looking for his Luna, the love of his life, a

[AZTEC]‘You had her, and you lost her. Now it seems like you're gonna lose her again.’‘How many more times does she have to be hurt before you realize what you’re doing to her?’‘You should have let her go, when she left, but you keep roping her into every disaster in your life.’‘You don't deserve her.’‘She’s too good for you.’Aztec Marshall was in a fight with his subconscious. It kept reminding him of everything that he had done wrong and how he could have fixed all of this earlier, but he was too much of a coward to even work it out. He had had the chance to step up, to get her back, to fight for her.He had promised to give her a good life at the altar, and while that had been an illusion for a moment, he should have been kinder to her. He should have done better, and he knew it. Funny how all of this was coming at him when he was headed to another accident that involved her. He wasn't good for her and he knew it, but how was he supposed to teach his heart to hold on and fig
