[SCARLET]"What the fuck are you doing here?” Sandra asked when she got out of the car and found her wasted sister causing chaos at the gates. To say Sandra was furious was an understatement, she knew what she owed Scarlet but her coming here to mess Sandra’s life up? This was uncalled for, and Sandra felt like she needed to beat some sense into her sister, but she couldn't. She had never been violent with her sister but damn, this wolf girl was making her flee all sorts of things."Why, hello sister. I came to look for you. Don't you want to see me?” Scarlet said, and it took everything in Sandra to not lash out at her sister. Sandra stared at Scarlet's drunk form and wondered to herself what she was supposed to do with her sister. This woman really never learned, huh?"You could have called instead of looking like a lost cause here. I don't deny you’re one, but goodness, you really lost your self-respect while coming here, no?” Sandra asked angrily as she helped her sister stand. S
[SANDRA]When she had seen her sister at the Marshall gates Sandra knew she would have to use the worst of the strategies. She knew she had to pull the big guns and get this over with and her plea to the alpha had been the nail on that coffin. She didn’t care though, because no matter what happened, she was ready for it. She hated being blackmailed by her sister, and maybe this was Scarlet's chance to make things right, yeah? Rodrigo watched the two sisters, one in shock while the other was too drunk to even know her name, and yet even then Rodgers thought Scarlet was a beauty to behold. He liked her and if he didn't know any better, he would have easily assumed that Scarlet was his name. But that couldn't be. It was just impossible, right?"Luna, what do we do about her?" Rodrigo asked Sandra whose disinterest in her sister was clear. It was almost like she didn't give two shits about Scarlet and whatever she wanted to do. Her sister could go on ahead and screw herself over and
[SANDRA]"What the hell is going on here, Scarlet? What is all this?” Aztec asked, his patience clearly not letting him look at the two women. He was smart enough to know that they were both hiding something from him and given how his Luna had commanded his best friend, then it had to be that serious. Aztec had always hated it when people ordered Rodrigo around, but he would sort that out later. For now, he had a wife to deal with and sisters to listen to. Why the fuck did this even happen in the first place? Goddamn."She wanted to see you, so I found an easier way to get you here. Besides, isn't it better than her ruining your reputation by screaming and making profanities outside, husband?” Sandra asked so coldly as she stared at her sister who was watching in silence. She disapproved of what her sister had done, but it wasn't like she had many choices herself anyway. She had been holding the fort for a while now and if this was the thanks she was getting, then Sandra wanted to l
[AZTEC]The Marshal alpha helplessly watched as the woman he had married walked out of his doors, leaving him with the woman he was supposed to marry, a woman so drunk and out of her wits with every breath she took. Scarlet Franzel was a drunken mess and even in her state, she could tell that the alpha was pissed. Well, at least she did have eyes, that prompted her to shut up instantly. 'Maybe he will save me from Alfred,’ Scarlet thought to herself as she finally let the darkness consume her. There was a lot at stake but right now, not showing up in front of the angry alpha was the best thing she could have ever done, even in her unconscious state.In Broderick’s arms, Scarlet let herself give in to the darkness, oblivious to the possibility that the alpha would come to her and make her talk. She didn't mind, because her sister had ruined her plans."I just ran into the luna and she looked pissed as hell. What the fuck did you do, Aztec?” Rodrigo said accusingly to his best friend
[AZTEC]"Are you going to talk about what happened yesterday?” Rodrigo asked as he plopped on the alpha’s bed. It was five o'clock in the morning and the alpha was ready for his morning exercise. His best friend had come to get him up, in case the alpha had decided not to do their usual routine, and the sight he was met with, was different. Aztec was acting like nothing happened yesterday, like he hadn't experienced the worst heartbreak ever in his life. He was acting like the world was spinning and he was finally a part of it. He had been betrayed, and yet here he was, putting on his track wear, ready to go for the morning run. Maybe he wasn't avoiding the problem, but maybe, just maybe, he needed time to think about what Sandra had done to him. "Are you going for the morning run, or do you want me to remind you how important exercise is?” Aztec bit back, and his friend just sighed. He was being impossible and there was only one reason for that. "Fine. Let's get going, oh, might
[AZTEC]"Who is Scarlet between the two daughters?" Aztec asked, his voice chilly as he looked at the Franzels. Now that they had come here, they surely had some answers for him too, now? Because if that wasn't the reason, then there was no point in them showing up here. He had seen it for himself yesterday and now, he needed them to make sure they didn't try to play him again. "She is," Doctor Franzel said as he looked at his daughter, Scarlet. He knew there was no point in hiding shit from Aztec, because eventually the alpha would find out that they had been playing the long game with him, and they would be long doomed. No matter what happened, maybe it was right that they started over on the lane of truth, but was that a place that Aztec was willing to trade with this family, especially now of all the times? "And who is she?" Aztec asked, pointing at Sandra who wasn't even bothered by the fact that this man probably hated her to the core. He could do whatever he wanted with he
[AZTEC]"Don't tempt my fury, wolf," Aztec said as he let out a warning growl. It was a little too early for this family to get into his way. He had been patient with this family, and now, maybe it was time for them to get the hell out of his life. Sure, he had needed a wife, but damn, they had forced an unexpected wife on him. It wasn't something he would ever really appreciate, no matter who it was."Also, not a word of the switch to anyone. I don't care whether you go, but if I so much as whisper about my wife being the unexpected wife, I will hunt you down. By now, you all know how much I love a chase, alright. "That being said, leave, before I make you,” Aztec said to the Franzels, and Scarlet looked at her siste angrily. Of all the things she had expected to happen, she hadn't expected that the alpha would take Sandra’s side. She was supposed to be kicked out of the alpha’s house, so that Scarlet would take her rightful place, but it seemed like the alpha Aztec had made up hi
[AZTEC]"Why did you want me to stay, Aztec?” Sandra asked, now that they were left alone in the mansion. She didn’t see any reason for the young Marshall to want her here. If anything, their ties were already cut and no matter what happened, Sandra wasn't going to pretend like they were married. She was done playing the responsible girl when all the marriage had gotten her were so many enemies. Enemies that she didn't even think she could afford. It was like the contract had taken a toll on her, and her mental health she had suffered in a marriage that wasn't even genuine. She had been alone when she had people, and even when her world had crashed, she didn't have anyone to talk to because then they would know she was breaking apart and that wasn't expected of a luna. The fact that her marriage had bound her to the most coveted bachelor in Adamera city, made her life even harder. So if this was her chance to want out of it completely then Sandra was going to leave. She wasn't goi
[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
[SANDRA] "The confession. Now,” Aztec said and that was all it took for the Fresnels to turn on the camera and start streaming their apology and confession."Good afternoon Adamera. We as the Franzels come forward to offer our apologies and sincere condolences to everyone that died because of our company. As it stands, everything we were accused of was true. “We were negligent and greedy and we did whatever we wanted to, to get the money, now that we think about it, we overreached. For so many years we misuse the trust the public had in us as we used that to make the terrible drugs. “We will recall all our products from the shelves and reimburse the entrepreneurs who were affected by the move. After this confession, we will surrender ourselves to the joint authority of the werewolves and the humans and face the trial with the highest penalty. “Our daughter, Scarlet, was at the center of this and we should have seen it earlier.
