Replaced To A Cruel Beast C064: Just A Business Transaction, Right?
[SANDRA]"Here let me show you a real kiss,'' Aztec said before she smashed his lips to Sandra's, making the woman let out a gasp. She was terrified of this reality. She was terrified of the fact that she had initiated the kiss and now, he was kissing her. Maybe this was a dream and she was still in Denver's guest room dreaming about the Marshall alpha, right? But that had to be some twisted dream, because she could feel how dominant he was with the kiss and boy did she love it a little too much, that she let out a subconscious moan.'Fuck it,’ Sandra thought to herself, before she let the alpha dominate their kiss. Even just for today, she wasn't going to fight the alpha. She wasn't going to hold him back, because honestly, she wanted this too. She had missed him like crazy, and maybe it was her hormones playing with her, or probably the mark on her neck that was making her feel like going further with the alpha. However, whatever it was, Sandra knew that this time, she had wanted

[SANDRA]"You okay?” Sandra asked when Gemma walked back to them."Yeah. Just that I'll have to leave today, my sweet Franzel. I got a mission to go to. I'll go with you to your house, but I won't get in, since someone’s already waiting for me there. I’m just happy you’re safe,'' Gemma said as she pulled her best friend into a hug, as Aztec walked into the car and waited for them. He could see them talk a little longer after the hug, but he was patient, because he liked what he was seeing. Sandra was happy and it was genuine. It was like Gemma was the light of her world, but how could the woman not be, when she had made the great alpha panic just because Sandra was kidnapped? The woman was a good addition to Sandra’s life and Aztec was thankful that she had someone outside her terrible family members. "Okay, seems urgent. Let’s go then,” Sandra said to Gemma, who just nodded as she followed her husband into the waiting car. Aztec watched as she sat in the back seat and he didn't

[SANDRA] "Can we talk?" Aztec asked Sandra, who was already on her way to the guest room. She didn't want to talk about anything at this moment. However, she also had seen this coming. The alpha clearly wanted to give her an explanation, but now that she was back in her little prison, would anything he said make any difference? He was always going to be the man who ‘bought’ her, and nothing would ever change that. She may have let him kiss her earlier, but that didn't blind her to the agonizing truth that she was just another girl for him. "If this is about what Gemma might have said in the car, don't worry about it. Nothing will change and I will try to be the luna your people want. "You don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself,” Sandra said, her voice so cold it was almost impossible to recognize her as the woman who had been crying in the car a few minutes ago. She had completely changed and maybe it was because she was alone, now that Gemma had gone, and she w

[SANDRA] For hours, Sandra Franzel worked on her documents for work. She had walked into her guest room when the sun hadn't even gone down, and yet, even when the clock struck midnight, Sandra was still nose-deep in her work. She was desperate to meet the stipulated deadlines and frankly, they worried her for a moment. She had been absent technically on Monday, and she got to waste a lot of time, not to mention the drama associated with her nonexistent love life. She was a mess but she was one hell of a mess, and one that she was determined to fix as soon as possible. When Aztec had called her to go eat, she had assumed that he was just calling her out of courtesy because Margery was home and he probably didn’t want his maidservant to think that their alpha was being cruel, which he probably wasn't, but Sandra couldn't think too much about that.'Damn, I'm hungry,’ Sandra said as she looked at the work she was yet to complete. She could feel herself getting dizzy and she knew that
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C068: A Morning Full Of Surpises
[SANDRA] "Fuck, I’m late, dammit,” Sandra said when she checked the time on her phone. She had forgotten to set an alarm when she was done with her work yesterday, and now, she was thirty minutes late to work. At first, she thought it was the weekend, but then when her brain registered, she rushed to the bathroom and took a quick shower before arranging her work documents in order and stashing them in the bag that Gemma had given her yesterday. She was a mess even though she was prepared for the day."Broderick!” Sandra called out to the driver. She knew that the alpha had to have gone to work and that the driver was definitely waiting around the compound. How the hell had she even managed to be late for work? As she cussed, she rushed out of the guest room before rushing to the kitchen. "Dammit. The kitchen, fuck. I'll just fix it when I come back for lunch break,” Sandra said as she rushed into the kitchen, only to find it spotless clean, and what was even more, her husband, the

[SANDRA]"You don't have to do that, y’know,” Sandra said as Aztec helped her off the chopper. They had flown from their house to Sandra’s office which was a really short but necessary ride. She had clearly not expected that because even as she left the house she pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. The alpha had taken a u-turn and that was enough to spook her. His kindness was just something she was never going to get used to and no matter what happened, she would always have her guard up."No, I don't, but I wanted to. Besides you looked like you needed a little help,” Aztec began and Sandra raised a brow at him, making the marshall alpha reconsider his statement and add, "I just offered alright, don't think too much into it. Besides, didn't we agree to be a normal husband and wife?”"Yeah, you’re right. Thank you for the ride. I gotta go now,” Sandra said as she walked out of the helicopter, and Aztec watched her amusedly. She was in a hurry and while he wanted to ru
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C070: Hold On, I Still Need You
[SANDRA]'Well good morning to you too, Sandra,’ the marshall Luna had hyped herself when she walked into her first meeting to talk about why she had delayed everything. The morning went by so fast, with Sandra doing her best to successfully chair her meetings. She didn't have to do this, but then she had sent an email to her team, telling them they needed to get to work. She had done most of the work and just needed them to be on the same page, and she had really spent a lot of time trying to make things work for her and her team, even though most of the time, she worked alone. Sandra had a lot of work no doubt, but by lunch break, she had managed to clear half the workload. Of course, she had decided to focus on her work instead of the chaos that she had caused in the office that Monday. In her defense, she had no idea what was happening to her and was green to everything, not to mention she hadn't expected that Beatrice would show up and cause a ruckus. It had been an embarras
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C071: The Deadly Choice of Freedom
[SANDRA]Sandra looked at her sister seated on the bench next to her office and her first thought was that Scarlet Franzel was here to cause more drama. It was the only thing the woman did so perfectly, especially whenever she had to share the same space as her sister. It was a given. However, Sandra was determined to not get into it. She was still hungry and so instead of making a move toward her sister, she went to the company cafeteria to get food for herself. She was sick of all the drama that her sister came with and frankly she wondered when things would be in her face for once. Scarlet Franzel was the mother of dramas and Sandra Franzel wasn't in the mood for any of it today. She didn't need to be reminded of things she couldn't control and right now she needed to at least have some food in her stomach.'Focus, Sandra. No one is punching the living daylights out of anyone today. Focus on happy thoughts today,’ Sandra chanted in her head as she walked back to her office thirt

[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

[SANDRA] "The confession. Now,” Aztec said and that was all it took for the Fresnels to turn on the camera and start streaming their apology and confession."Good afternoon Adamera. We as the Franzels come forward to offer our apologies and sincere condolences to everyone that died because of our company. As it stands, everything we were accused of was true. “We were negligent and greedy and we did whatever we wanted to, to get the money, now that we think about it, we overreached.
