08 - Where There's a Will, There's a Way

"Aaron! Zane open up!" Aphmau shouts as her right hand bangs on their door.

She's a bit surprised to get no response as Melissa takes a step forward and kicks the shockingly unlocked door open.

"Why is it unlocked? Usually Zane's good at locking things, Aaron too." the petite woman murmurs.

Melissa bends down over the couch and picks up a piece of a ripped shirt. A silted knife lays on the coffee table in front of both females. "Hey, is the window smashed?"

Aphmau jogs around the couch and over to the window. Her caramel gaze catches sight of a broken pieces sitting on the floor and window seal. "Yeah. Was there a break in?" she asks aloud.

"Maybe. It sure looks that way. Can you try calling Aaron or Zane, just to see if either one of them pick up?" Melissa ponders.

"Yeah, I can do that." Aph replies then proceeds to fish out her phone.

She unlocks it and taps Aaron's number, frowning when she gets his voicemail. Her finger taps Zane's number and she gets the same response. Voicemail.

"Nothing, it went straight to their voicemail." she whispers. "Melissa, what do we do?"

"I don't know, Aphmau." the brunette blonde werewolf mumbles.

"Mr. Gray, I do believe it would be best if you obey Astoria's words. Step away from the Salomon." Nicky says.

"I already said, I mean no harm to her. Trust me." Zack comments.

Astoria barks out a loud laugh. "Trust is earned. Not spoken." she growls. "Now, step away from her."

"Dr. Vasquez; I'm the twins' father, though." Zack spits a lie out.

The blonde werewolf turns to share a glance with the blunette. "That's a lie and you know it." the two say in unison.

"I have to agree with the ladies here, sorry, Mr. Gray." Tristan says softly.

Zack huffs a moment before he turns on his heels and leaves the room. Tristan waits until he's walking further away before allowing both his hands to touch the Isabelle's still body.

"The life support she's kept on, should allow the twins to be born eventually. We may have to wait a few more months until then. Or, I can see about getting an OB to look at her and see if maybe it's possible the twins can be born." the man looks up from the baby to the two female werewolves.

"Go for it. I'll take a look at their wills." Astoria states.

The blunette moves to sit down on a chair beside the bed, where her older sister is laying dead to the world, and yet keeping her precious unborn twins alive. She fishes out the two envelopes and tears them open. Her teal eyes glance down as she starts reading the wills to herself.

There are heirs. (Sent 2:48 pm, June 12, 2001)

The Luna is with child? How astonishing.

Was. She's dead. Heard she jumped off
a cliff after finding out her husband
was dead.

And the babies? Boy or girl?
I need to know.

Boy and girl. Twins.
They've got Nicole Cardarelli and Astoria
Salomon protecting them.
That doctor of theirs too; Tristan Vasquez.

This hinders the plan.
We can't just kill the male now.
Not if he's protected by high-leveled
werewolves. We need a new plan.
Fast.
