[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]"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]"I’ll find you,” Aztec said to himself convincingly. "Rodrigo, get everything ready. I’m making a small detour at Marina and I’ll be there with you guys in twenty minutes,” Aztec said to his beta, who wasn't even surprised that the alpha was going to the company.Seeing as his Luna had gotten off work in the worst of ways the previous day, Aztec figured he would go on to the company she worked, Marina designs, and get her belongings. Maybe then she woud be able to look at him from a different light. Aztec wasn't sure what he wanted her to look at him like, but one thing was certain. He was more than willing to atone for all the things he had done and not done to and for her.Maybe this time, they would really try and talk their way through their issues, after all, they were married and she was mated already. So technically there was not going to be a divorce at least for a year, if they wanted to. And only then would a rejection suffice, but until then they would have found

[AZTEC]Without putting up a fight, Gemma got into the alpha’s waiting car, and went with him to the pack. It was a nice G-wagon with amazing specs, and Gemma being a lover of vehicles obviously gushed over it, but in silence. The alpha wasn't the person she needed to tell that, because she knew that after the Sandra operation, the two of them were probably never going to see each other again. Gemma had noticed earlier that he had questions, especially about the silent exchange she just had with the rider, and she was frankly waiting for him to say something, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he put on some slow music and they all minded their business. The first stop wasn't at the Marshall mansion, instead, it was at the Marshall pack; and the moment they drove in, everyone knew they had a human among them. And all attention turned to Gemma Stevens."Great, I’m a celebrity here. What should I do now? Wear a crown on my head for them to see me well?” Gemma sarcastically said, c

[AZTEC]"I already have what I want, Aztec. The question you should be asking, is 'what do you have to offer, in exchange for your luna?’ Now we both know we could go to war about this, but you made a promise, and all I did was collect on it."If I’m to let her go, I need something to work with,” Denver said so nonchalantly as he stared at Sandra's pissed face.'Great, a bunch of alpha males who think I’m the prize,’ Sandra thought to herself angrily as she started between Aztec and Denver. She was absolutely disinterested in whatever the boys were doing, but there was something going on, and she was going to pay attention. Sandra looked at Aztec, the ever-calm man who was never scared of anything, and yet for some reason, being here with Denver made him look like he was fighting for his sanity. She was curious to know what promise Aztec had made, even though she knew that it would probably end up with her pissed off again. Oh, how she despised power games."I can't give you my Luna
