Replaced To A Cruel Beast C055: Surprise, I guess?
[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]"Well, I’m on leave and I have all the time in the world, if you want to play this game,” Gemma said as she stared at Aztec, not even faltering at the glare he was giving her. It was possible to say that Gemma Stevens was the female version of Aztec Marshall, or was that Sandra’s position? It was difficult to tell at the moment."Okay fine, I’m here for my wife’s belongings,” Aztec said to Gemma, knowing so well that the woman was not going to give in. it was easier for him to relent anyway."Don't stress about it. And it won't be necessary, because I already cleared her desk as you can see,” Gemma said and that caught the alpha’s attention. She definitely knew that Aztec would make a detour here, and even if she didn't, the probabilities of a Marshall wolf coming for Sandra’s belongings was high. Aztec stared at Gemma, curious to know why she would show up early and clear his Luna's desk. Now that Aztec thought about it, the stench of janitorial tools wasn't that. It was t
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C057: Would This Place Ever Be Home?
[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
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C058: What Would He Trade For Her?
[AZTEC]"Alright, let’s get rolling,” Aztec said to his wolves an hour later, when he and his team had gone over the plans more than once. He didn't want any of them screwing up the rescue mission, because then there would be more than one life at stake, and that would be too expensive, even for him. It was imperative that they all knew what they were getting into and the security system that was waiting for them. Of course, Gemma thought that they would be using most of the weaponry, but when they settled for shotguns she was a little disappointed, though she didn't notice that out loud. She didn't want to be the mood dampener here, especially seeing how they were ready to go all in for the luna. Quietly, Gemma watched as the marshall wolves split up and went out for their luna. They looked so determined it was almost impossible to tell that these very wolves despised the luna they were going after. But that didn't matter to Gemma because her best friend would be coming back."Al

[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

[AZTEC]"Yeah, we are,” Sandra responded, her angry tone disappearing as she looked at the alpha that had claimed her. "Let’s get on with it then, shall we?” Alpha Aztec said to Alpha Denver who was already waiting for him in the fight ring. Aztec was quick to put on his equipment, before he joined his friend in the ring. It was quite sad how they had gotten to this point, but then it wasn't like they could go back in time, now, would they?"Alright, I guess your beta is the referee, no?” Denver said to Aztec like he already knew the answer. Rodrigo looked at the two alphas with a frown on his face reminding them that this wasn't what he had signed up for when he had come on this mission Of course there were uncertainties in every mission and this right here just happened to be one of them, right?"On three! One. Two. Start!” Rodrigo said not in the mood to deal with Aztec and Denver’s childish act. It was something that he was never going to understand, especially now that the mars
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C061: The Mysterious Marshall Luna
[AZTEC]What had been supposed to be a rescue mission, had turned out to be a goodbye session for Aztec and his friend and frankly, the Marshall alpha wasn't doing so well. He didn't like the news he had gotten despite going in to save his Luna from Denver. He felt tricked and he hated that feeling so much. Aztec had been too cooped up in his denial that he didn't even realize when the medics arrived, and took Denver to the Adamera hospital. The Marshall alpha was still out of it, and his best friend had to drag him out of the fight ring in the Miraculo compound. Beta Rodrigo Lacosta knew that Aztec would want to know how Denver was fairing on, but the first priority was to snap the big bad alpha out of the shock of the possibility that he was going to lose another person he cared about. He would deny it when asked in public, but Aztec was always going to care about Denver Miraculo. Their packs may have been rivals, but that wasn't their individual case. They grew up together and
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C062: Welcome Home, Luna
[SANDRA] 'Oh goddess, never thought I’d be this happy to come back to this damned place,’ Sandra said when they reached the Marshall pack. She could see the reinforcements and her heart warmed at the sight. Even if they acted like they didn't care, this bunch of wolves surely did care about her in their own way, and that was honestly enough for her. She was important to them, but she didn't even have a clue as to how much. "The Luna is back! All hail the Luna Scarlet!” Luis, the Marshall pack’s enforcer, and chief warrior shouted, alerting the warriors and everyone who had been in the pack. They all erupted into cheers, because their Luna wasn't hurt. They couldn't smell any blood on her or even injuries. It was a whole different scenario for the one that Sandra had been used to. Honestly, this was like a warm, welcome home, but there was nothing homey about this place. No matter what happened, she had to remind herself that she was doing this for her grandma. She had someone w

[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
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C162: His Breath Of Fresh Air
[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
