"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]"Have you been home since the weekend?” Gemma asked Aztec quietly like she was talking about the weather. Slowly she was learning that getting angry with Aztec would get her nowhere. The man had people to do everything for him, unlike Sandra who didn't even have an ounce of power over the people of Marshall yet. She was learning to let things be, but fuck, it was getting harder with each attempt. It was almost like her heart was meant to shatter all because of Sandra’s treatment by the wolves.Or maybe Gemma was just doing so much for so little."Just because you’re my luna's girlfriend, you’re not entitled to any answers,” Aztec said, his tone showing that he was slowly getting tired of Gemma’s questioning. They were fighting for the same cause, and it wasn't like Aztec could leave his Luna in the hands of his enemies. If anything, he had married Sandra because he needed to strengthen his pack. Without a Luna, the pack was doomed and since Aztec didn't want to make Beatric

[AZTEC]"Why can't any of you answer me?” Gemma asked accusingly before her fight instincts kicked in and she got out her blade for her boots and her gun from the other, carefully pointing them at Aztec and Rodrigo. It was almost like she was telling them not to even think of trying shit with her because she was faster with her weapons. Granted, they didn't know how specialized she was, but she did mind giving them a sample of it and right now really did seem like the perfect moment for all of that.They were definitely better at her ad faster, but they were willing to flatter her if it meant helping her come to terms with the reality of a missing Sandra."Did you seriously force a mark on her? Goddammit, Aztec, what the hell did you do?” Rodrigo asked his alpha and best friend in the mind link they shared. He was giving Aztec accusing eyes, and the alpha was silent for a whole, which was also how the beta knew that his best friend had done the one thing he shouldn't have done to hi

[AZTEC]"We need to talk, Aztec,” Beatrice suddenly said to Aztec who just let out a long frustrated sigh. From his experience with the woman, nothing good ever came out of these talks and frankly, he was too sick and tired of them already."I don't have the time and energy to deal with your theatrics tonight. You can skip the formalities, and wait for the food. It shouldn't be long now,” Aztec said and Beatrice just nodded in understanding. She wasn't trying to get the alpha to fight with her anyway."I’m sorry, Aztec,” Beatrice began, making Aztec whip his head fast to look at her, maybe she had misspelled it right? Maybe she wanted to say something else and had stumbled upon an apology, no? Oh, but she really did catch him off guard."What?”"I’m sorry about everything. I get it now, and I understand where I stand with you. I will respect your space and Luna as demanded of me. "I’m sorry I was too much trouble to Luna too," Beatrice said and for a moment Aztec was confused he was

[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

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
