Replaced To A Cruel Beast C108: Regrets And More Regrets
[AZTEC]Dejected, Aztec walked to his office, ignoring the people who were watching him, taking their best shots of his worrisome state. He looked like he had lost everything and finally he had.The alpha would have always walked with his bodyguards, but he had dismissed them and told them that he would recall them when he wanted to. Of course, he had given them other jobs in the company and not paid them off. He had tried to think of everything that was best for everyone, except for what was best for him.'I shouldn't have come out of the house,’ Aztec said to himself as he walked through the path everyone was letting him through. It was almost like he was a king and they were making way for him. But there was a possibility that they were letting him be, because they didn't want to get dirty or even have him snap at them. Having the alpha snap at anyone was a terrible idea because there was no knowing what the great Aztec could do, especially if he was so drunk off his ass. There

[AZTEC]Five Years Ago"Morning Sandra,” Aztec greeted as he came down the stairs. He had told himself he would get used to the name Sandra, but then everything just seemed to be taking a whole new turn each time he tried to say anything. Right now, as he looked at the woman coming out of the guestroom, Atec wondered if they would ever be okay. Granted, he had pleaded with Sandra to stay for the sake of his people, but damn, it was really hard on them both.There was evidently still a lot for them to work on, considering the alpha still felt betrayed and was good at hidden git. Maybe if he came clean to Sandra, they would figure out a way to make things work, right?"We need to talk, Aztec,” Sandra said, clearly not in the mood for the greetings that the alpha was sending her way. She seemed to have a lot in mind and one of them had to do with the fact that Aztec had been seeing her nana behind her back. It was a crazy concept and maybe that was why Sandra was pissed today.This man

[AZTEC]Five Years Ago"You should call the hospital, Sandra,” Aztec said and Sandra looked at him so fast. She had been staring at he wall but hearing about the hospital, she got a little more attentive. Why the hell would she even call the hospital, it wasn't like her nana was dead, right?"What?”"Call Mehri. Ask about your Grandma,” Aztec said as he turned the tv in the dining room on. He was loving every bit of this and the slow strenuous creases on his face made this worth it. He was just giving her a taste of his medicine."Hi, I’m Diana Star’s grandchild. Any updates on nana?” Sandra asked, not sure what she was supposed to ask the hospital. She had a terrible feeling about this."Oh yeah

[AZTEC]Five years Ago"Is this necessary, Aztec? You’re making Luna into a slave and you know her, she will never forgive you for this. You know she won't take the hits like this. Unless you do something that forced her into that state.“What did you do this time, brother?” Rodrigo asked once Sandra was out of their sight.Of course, he knew the woman already had a superhero thanks to the marking and was probably waiting to hear what this was. Then again, Sandra was done caring, she wasn't going to do anything right now.She needed to come to terms with the fact that the man had taken her only link to closure. Why did it have to have her in that damning state?"She’s a human, lower t

[AZTEC] Today Sitting in his office Aztec Marshall felt like there was something he should have done for his woman. He felt like there was a better way to deal with Sandra’s secrets. He should have been level-headed instead of ruining her like that. He shouldn't have forced his wife’s hands like that. He shouldn't have forced Scarlet on her, but then it had all been done. Granted, Scarlet was the stand-in Luna even to this day, but the woman knew her limits. Granted, Aztec had figured that the woman would try forcing his hands, but it turned out that the woman was wise enough to know that there was only one woman for Aztec. Maybe five years had been a long time and they had all changed. Sure, the marriage to Sandra was over, and Aztec had signed the divorce papers, but a part of him knew that only Sandra would give him the peace of mind he had been hoping for for so many years. "I’m sorry I was stupid,” Aztec whispered before he put his bottle on the ground and lay in a better

[AZTEC]With Sandra gone, Aztec knew that war was here with him, but why didn't he even feel like getting up to get ready for the woman’s fights? Why did he feel like he wanted to take no part in whatever karma Sandra had prepared for him? Maybe he was just rid of everything that was happening. Maybe he just didn't want to think too much of what had happened today, because then he would have to face his past which was something he had been doing a good job running away from, for the past years. He wanted to add just one more day to the chaos, because then, he would have more time, right?'I’ll just sleep here today,’ Aztec said as he pulled one of the couch blankets from his closet in the office and covered himself up, before going back to sleep. Right now the only thing he wanted to do was to get some rest and forget what an asshole he had been for all those years. He didn’t care what was at stake for him, even though the longer he thought of Sandra and her anger, the longer he w

[AZTEC]"Oh dear, he really is here,” Scarlet said to Rodrigo who wasn't sure whether it really was a good idea for the Marshall alpha to show up like this. He came like he wanted to give them the answers, but the man had been indisposed since the morning. And right now, it was evening, with people who were tired from the events of the day. It was impossible for anyone to be ready for the antics Aztec Marshall had up his sleeve this time. Hell, even Rodrigo himself wasn't ready for it."What?” Rodrigo asked as he watched his brother walk up towards the podium. He could have sworn that Aztec was coming in with his alcohol again and his stubble. Rodrigo was already thinking of how to explain whatever was going to happen when Aztec showed up, but when the lights shone on him, when the lights shone on his brother, everyone was in shock. There were so many gasps in the room, and so many who were in shock from what they were seeing. Expectedly, Rodrigo had expected the worst, so he ha

[SANDRA]"Please don't tell me you went to see him,” Gemma said to Sandra when her best friend walked through the doors, looking like the poster child for fatigue. She looked like she had all the anger issues in the world and still managed to look dashing and distressed at the same time. It was a difficult state to understand but Gemma always understood her."Well… I went to say hi, and found a ghost for a man,” Sandra said as she unzipped her jacket and plopped on the couch. She was tired and worried about so many things, but she was certain she wouldn't regret going to see Aztec. It gave her a sense of fulfillment seeing him in that state, but then a part of Sandra could tell the joy that was in his eyes when Aztec had seen Sandra. He looked like seeing her had given him a breath of new life and had given him a purpose. No matter what the purpose was, or what it was going to be, Sandra was sure that she had pressed the like button on the man who had taken everything for her."You

[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

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.
