"What exactly do you want to say?" Alpha asked impatiently as he looked at the woman before him. He was supposed to be in love with her and maybe he was, but why was he feeling terrible for leaving Sandra at that diner alone? Why did he feel like the biggest asshole in the history of assholed? Damn, the Alpha wanted to get out of here but he wanted to know what Beatrice had found out about Sandra. Aztec had himself to his beta to look into Sandra and now that Beatrice was saying she had something for the Alpha, it had to mean something then again, why did she even investigate Sandra? Or did his best friend tell her? Well, Rodrigo may have been an emotionless beta but he knew better than to betray Aztec. That would equal a death sentence for him and the Alpha everyone was scared of would surface. "Be quick about it, I have places to be tonight,” Aztec said and Beatrice just let out a huff. She had hired someone to investigate Sandra a few days ago and the secrets she had found
[SANDRA]Back at the restaurant, Sandra was still waiting for Aztec. She hoped that he wouldn’t ditch her, so she kept on eating, while watching people stream in and out of the restaurant. She looked like a woman who was desperate for company and sure enough, there were a few men who offered to be seated in the palace Aztec had once been. Sandra looked at the plates before her and the empty seat. It was then that she knew that maybe she was waiting for nothing. Maybe all she was doing was being hopeful for something that wouldn't even be real. She wasn't sure why she had stayed this long, but maybe, just maybe she needed to choose ehrslef this once. It was already bad enough that the men were coming at her like she needed consolation. The empty seat to them, made them think she was dumped and now, she had to face the wrath of society. Sandra couldn't believe this. It had been Aztec’s idea to go eat at the damn restaurant and now he was ghosting her."Classic Aztec, I wonder what I
[AZTEC]Aztec was still in Beatrice’s room at the villa and clearly, the woman was yet to come to terms with the fact that her boyfriend was ditching her for someone better. She was in denial, which was a little too dangerous, considering the fact that no matter what she wanted, Sandra ould always be the woman for Aztec.The hours were quiet and the winds so slow, and yet in the midst of it and at the center of her rejection, was the meal she had prepared to win him over. Maybe she should have just given up. "What?! You, you're breaking up with me?" Beatrice asked, the disbelief clear on her face. Of all the things she had expected tonight, the alpha wanting them to split up was definitely not on her bucket list. And to think that she was the one who had called for the damn meeting. Goodness, she would go crazy if the alpha kept this up. Maybe there was a way to make the alpha look at her like she wanted him to. So she got up, walked around the table, and to where Aztec was curre
[AZTEC]"You would leave me, the woman who was beside you, for a woman who is clearly lying to you? You’re pathetic, Aztec,” Beatrice said and Aztec let out a growl. It wasn't the growl of power, but it was the growl that reminded him of his guilt. It had been eating him up for weeks now. Of course, he already knew that he would have to live a life without Beatrice, but now that he was doing it, he felt like shit. This wasn't how he had planned it but then it wasn't like the circumstances cared much about it, right? He had to do what was right, if not for himself but for his people, and sacrificing the woman who was so close to his heart seemed like the only way out at the moment,"I’m warning you, Beatrice,” Aztec said angrily. As much as his heart was breaking for her, she needed to know where to draw the line. She needed to understand that at the end of the day, there were choices that would probably break them both. It wasn't like they were in a competition of who would break m
[SANDRA]"Thanks, I really needed that, Gemma,” Sandra said to her best friend when they walked out of the club at five o'clock.It was probably way too early in the morning, but then it was early enough for the sun to rise. they had just come from clubbing, or like Gemma had graciously put it, they had come from clearing their minds. Sandra was drunk as fuck.She had done everything that she never thought she would but then she also knew that Aztec would still hate her anyway. nothing she ever did was pleasant to him, just because she was the damned wife without a voice.She was like a trophy, but soon enough, Sandra would get done with being a trophy. She would fight back and hell be damned, if that day came, bargain or not, the Marshall alpha would feel her wrath."You look like shit, Sandra, why don't you come and stay the night at my place?” Gemma asked, even though she already knew the answer that Sandra would give her.It wasn't fair that he had been ditched at the restaurant b
[AZTEC]"I’ll come to pick you up in thirty minutes, alpha," Broderick said and for a moment, the alpha was curious. He had never heard his driver give him an excuse like ever and yet today, he would be late in picking him up. Clearly, there was something keeping him busy. Maybe there was a first time for everything, right? "Why, where are you now?” Aztec asked while he strolled down the stairs. The elevators at Rose Villa were a bit busy and well, he was in a hurry to try and make things right with the woman he had married. Aztec may have had the reputation of a toxic man, which he never cared to defend, but he was kind to those he cared about. He was a softie who probably loved cuddles and getting fuzzy with his people."I’m taking the luna at the pack grounds where the young wolves always are on weekends," Broderick said, before he honked at one of the drivers who were before him. He was in a hurry, considering the alpha needed him too.Sandra was quiet in the background, not da
[AZTEC]"I wasn't going to see her,” Aztec said to his beta as he looked around the pack, like he was hoping to have at least one sighting of his woman. He wanted to see her, desperately that if there wasn't an important matter like Rodrigo and insisted, he would have rushed to her to see her. Fuck, he missed her even when he smelled like another woman’s perfume. He was screwed, but what else was there for a man like him anyway?"Yeah right. Come now brother, you can meet your wife later, no?” Rodrigo said as he dragged an unwilling Aztec with him. Eventually, the alpha figured that he would either let Rodrigo drag him to the pack house or he would follow him voluntarily."Whatever. What pressing issues are there anyway, and if you tell me it's your inability to cook again, I’ll lock you up,” Aztec said, his tone going from cold to frustrated. He knew Rodrg did things that made him question if he was a beta or a stupid human, but at the end of the day, Aztec loved him like a brother.
[AZTEC] "Bring him!” Rodrigo said and Aztec looked at his best friend and beta, wondering what in all hell Rodrigo meant by that. Did they have a prisoner from the camps? Was that why he was shouting right now? As they watched and waited, the doors to the office opened, revealing the Marshall warriors and between them, in silver cuffs, was a man who was evidently from Marshall. He looked a little older, and was in his thirties if not forties. He had unkempt hair and smelled like shit. His clothes were drenched in his own blood and he was clearly not allowed to heal. He had bruises all over, posssibly from the torture. Instantly, Aztec stood up from his seat, and carefully walked towards the man his people were bringing in. This guy here reminded him of his father so much that if Aztec hadn't been too keen, he could have thought his dad was back from the dead. The striking similarity was astonishing, but Aztec knew he had to focus. His Luna's life was on the line and he needed
