Replaced To A Cruel Beast C027: Her Broken Heart [1]
[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.
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C032: For The Marshall Luna
[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

[SANDRA]When she accepted her fate and stepped into her sister’s shoes, Sandra Franzel hadn't been sure what would await her in the marriage of convenience. She could only think of her grandma and her condition at the time. She knew there would come a time when she'd have to say goodbye to her grandma, but today was certainly not it. Which was also partially why she ahd agreed to the marriage, because she couldn't afford to lose someone who was so important to her.Maybe she had sacrificed so much for the woman, but then wouldn't anyone in her pale do the same? However, all of that had been because of her duty, but today, as she was with the kids, Sandra felt like she was slowly finding her touch with her sanity once again. The kids looked adorable even though some of them were mischievous. She loved children, no matter what they looked like or who they were. To Sandra, the children were everything that the society needed. They are aware of the angels that would remind the adults

[SCARLET] "I want my money," a text chimed in on Scarlet's phone. She didn't even have to look to know that it was from her ex-boyfriend, or rather, the man who wanted to buy out their relationship. Scarlet hadn't expected that Alfred would demand a million dollars just for their breakup or even that he would be forced to make plans to give in. Since Friday, she had been thinking about so many ways of getting the money, but none of them made any sense to her. She knew she would have to go to her parents again, and ask for their help, even though they were not ready to give her the money. "You must marry the alpha," her mother had insisted, like it was easy switching places with Sandra. The whole idea was not appealing to Scarlet even on it. sure, she wanted the alpha, but then she also knew there were so many responsibilities that came with being a luna. She wasn't sure she wanted to be Luna, save for the fact that the Aztecs' wife would definitely give her access to endless s

[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
