Frankies Redemption

Chapter 5 - An Angry Frankie.

Frankie's P.O.V.

BANG!!, SLAM!!.

"Whoa, what's wrong with you?"

I hear my brother's voice coming from behind me as I bang and slam my locker door shut.

"Nothing Nik, I'm fine"

"Clearly you're not if you're taking your anger out on your poor locker like this"

He says while eyeing up my locker which now looks a little dented.

Fuck.

That'll be yet another cheque written out to this bastard school and all because of me and my anger.

I really need to learn to control my temper.

I think to myself as I rub a hand over my face and eyes.

"What's wrong, Frank? I haven't seen you getting this riled up in a while now"

"It's nothing honestly"

"Do you think I'm an i***t, Frankie?"

Nikolai asks me and I look at him with a shocked and confused expression.

"Of course, I don't think you're an i***t, Nik, why would you even ask me that?"

"Well, don't treat me like one then"

He said sounding pissed off.

"I know you better than ANYONE, Franco even better than you know yourself, so I know for a fact that it's not just something but someone who has pissed you off, so spill, who's got you this irate?"

"I'm not irate, Nikolai, I'm just...I don't know, all I know is that I'm angry but I don't know what I'm more angry with myself or what's being perceived about me"

I said letting out a sigh as I run a hand through my hair.

"You've lost me, Frank, I..."

Nik said but was unable to complete his sentence.

I looked around the hallways which were almost empty and only had a few students lingering around which isn't surprising considering it's lunchtime and everyone else is currently heading towards their designated areas to eat.

Speaking of lunch.

"We should head towards the cafeteria before they..."

I was distracted when I heard a familiar chuckle and when I looked behind Nik, I saw Rebecca and Izzy laughing together as they left through the building's double-doored entrance.

I was once again entranced and totally enamoured by my mate, so much so that I didn't even notice Nikolai's actions which showed that he had noticed that I was distracted and he was looking between myself and my love.

"Oh god, don't tell me she's the reason why you're all riled up?"

Nik asks me with amusement in his voice as he chuckled slightly.

"It's not funny, Nikolai, she's a frustrating person"

"What's so frustrating about her? she's a tiny little woman just like our ma, Isabella and Kai...surely you should be able to handle one of them by now"

He said once again chuckling as he rests his hand on the locker next to him.

He was clearly amused by all of this and that was pissing me off even further.

"What's Rebecca done that's got you so wound up and crushing metal like you're the Hulk?"

I let out a sigh and explain everything to him.

"I asked her why she doesn't like me and she basically said that it's because she thinks I'm a cocky and conceited prick who walks around this place like I'm made of gold and like I'm untouchable because of who I'm related to...she also called me a manwhore and said that I treat people, mainly women like s**t"

"Jesus Christ...little luchadora really went for the jugular, didn't she?" (Fighter)

Nikolai chuckled as he ran a hand through his short blonde hair.

He then briefly looked at Rebecca before narrowing his amused eyes back at me as his mouth formed into a smirk.

"She's not lying, Frank"

"What?"

I growl as I glare at him.

"Calm your Calvins down, Frank, I'm just being honest and so is Rebecca, well, she was honest about everything except for you treating people like shit...I don't know where she'd get that from"

"Maybe she got it from the fact she believes my bedroom door is a revolving door for every woman I choose to have s*x with"

I tell him annoyed.

"By the way, have you heard any rumours or stories about me and a stupid reputation I've apparently got with girls riding with me on my bike or in my truck"

"I thought you only allowed girls to ride your pony, not your bike or your truck, Frank"

Nikolai chuckled and I glared at him.

"I don't and I never have or will but according to my ma...I mean Rebecca, I've got this ridiculous reputation in our pack for inviting women to ride with me and apparently EVERYONE knows what I mean when I do this"

"Why would she say that?"

He asks and I shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know, she just told me this morning that she refused to ride my bike with me because she knows what it means when I invite a girl to ride with me and she didn't want to be one of those girls"

I let out a sigh feeling frustrated and annoyed.

I may be a manwhore but there are three certain rules I have when it comes to the women I sleep with.

The first rule is that no woman except for my mate is allowed to enter the Vasquez mansion or will ever enter my bed whether it's to sleep or to be intimate with.

The second rule is that only my mate is allowed to ride in my truck or on my bike with me, she's the only woman who is allowed that privilege.

And the third rule is that I always make sure to glove up, sometimes I even glove up twice when I have s*x because you can't trust a lot of women and their words these days and I'm not about to catch some nasty disease or become a dad to a random chicks baby.

There's only one woman who is gonna carry the next generation of Vasquezs via me and that's my mate Rebecca Taylor.

I look up at my brother whose eyes were narrowed to the ground and he looked lost in thought.

"Penny for your thoughts, Nik"

He didn't answer me so I shook his shoulders bringing him out of his mind.

"Hmm, did you say something?"

"Is something on your mind?"

I ask him.

"No, I was just thinking about what you said before"

"What about it?"

I ask while narrowing my eyes at him.

Nikolai looked up at me and I was confused when I saw his face was stoic but his eyes were blazing with anger and some panic.

What the hell?.

"Look, I'm not sure about this, Frank but a while back I was dating this girl and during our first date, she said something to me which I didn't think anything of at the time but now that I think about it...I think there might be more to it than I originally thought"

"What do you mean?"

Nikolai didn't answer me at first and I could tell that he was hesitant to tell me, I also knew that the anger and panic in his eyes wasn't solely for him, it was also for me because he knew I'd rain down hell on anyone or anything who has ever done me wrong in any way shape or form.

"Well, she asked me if I had the same tradition that you had when you invite girls to ride with you, I asked her what she meant and she said that she'd heard from a friend that if Frankie Vasquez invites you to ride his bike or his truck with him then it's an open invitation for s*x as well"

"WHAT?"

I growl.

Who the f**k is spreading this bullshit about me? and why didn't this i***t tell me about this BS earlier? I could've nipped this s**t in the bud a long time ago before it could grow and spread to my mate.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Because like I've already told you, I didn't think anything of it, I honestly just thought she was talking s**t"

Great just f*****g great.

"Do you by any chance know who her friend is?"

Nikolai shakes his head slightly but stops when a look of realisation takes over his face.

"What?"

"You're not gonna like this, brother"

"Who is it, Nik?"

"I don't think I should..."

"TELL ME, NIK, NOW!!"

I growl interrupting my brother mid-sentence.

"It was Shelby...my date was a part of Shelby's group"

What?.

That f*****g b***h.

A deep, murderous growl escaped my mouth as I stormed away.

"Frankie, Frankie, where are you going?"

Nikolai asks sounding panicked as he catches up to me.

"I'm going to find that b***h and I'm gonna kill her"

"You can't do that, Frankie and you know it"

He's right.

I need a damn good reason to kill someone and unfortunately being a lying, spiteful, vindictive, manipulative b***h doesn't count as a good reason.

"What the f**k else am I supposed to do, Nik? that b***h is going around lying on my name"

Nikolai lets out a sigh as he looks towards the entrance of the building.

"Well first, let's go and get something to eat"

"I'm not hungry"

"Yes you are, you're always hungry Frankie, besides it'll be a good way to get you to calm down"

"I don't wanna calm down, Nik, I wanna get revenge on that b***h"

I say and Nikolai chuckles as he throws his arm over my shoulders and leads us down the hallway.

"I know you do and trust me you will get your revenge just please for once listen to me and do as I say, ok"

Whatever.

We head towards the cafeteria which at first I wasn't happy about because I didn't have an appetite but as soon as I smelled the delicious food upon entering the room, I immediately got my hunger back and made a beeline for the line.

"I thought you weren't hungry?"

Nikolai joked as he watched me pile my tray with food.

"Shut up, Nikolai"

I growled and my brother chuckled.

After getting and paying for our food, we head over to our table or tables I should say and we sit down in the only two available seats which are next to Rebecca and Grayson and I bet you all can guess which one I took.

I sat and ate my food whilst stealing sneaky glances at my mate who was also eating her food as she conversed with my sisters.

Everyone else was talking about the party our pack was hosting tonight for one of our pack females sweet sixteenth.

Normally, we don't celebrate birthdays like this and they just come and go because it's just a normal birthday for us and nothing that we should make a fuss over.

The only birthday that matters in our realm is our eighteenth birthday and that's because when a normal, average wolf turns eighteen, they shift for the first time and are able to find their mate, so we put more of an effort into events like that not ones like this.

I don't even know why my parents gave the green light for this party if I'm being perfectly honest with you.

"Are you going tonight, Frank?"

My brother Massimo asks me.

"Probably not, Mass"

"Really? that's not like you, you never miss an opportunity to get drunk and party"

He says and I roll my eyes.

You would think I was an alcoholic the way this lot think.

"Well, if the cap fits wear it, right?"

"Shut up, Luc"

I growl at my wolf who was chuckling in only a way a werewolf can.

"Whose party is this anyway?"

"Tessa Jacobs, she's best friends with uncle Dalton's daughter Louise"

Urgh!!.

And now I know why my parents gave this party the green light.

Tessa's not a bad girl, in fact, she's a really lovely girl and she's a good friend to my cousin but she's one of those girls who is like a modern-day Paris Hilton, you know someone who loves pink way too much and loves to show off her wealth.

"So, are you gonna go, Frank?"

"You never know, Tessa may turn out to be your mate"

Izzy says with a smirk and I glare at her.

"You must've been absent when the moon goddess was handing out brains to us, Izzy"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

She growls back at me.

"Well, as you know, Izzy us Vasquez kids find our mates earlier than most normal wolves and you also know that we've known Tessa our entire lives, so if she was my mate then I would've realised it by now, wouldn't I?"

I tell her and her mouth contorts into an O as she mouths the word oh.

What I didn't realise is that I had just said something which my little mate had overheard and she was quickly digesting it in her curious little mind.

I look down at my little mate who looked lost in thought as she played around with her food.

Urgh!!, why can't life be simple for us?.

"Life is simple, Franco, it's only difficult because you humans make it difficult"

Lucious says with zero emotion in his voice.

I knew he was right but I wasn't gonna tell him that, was I?.
