[AZTEC]

"How long have you known that?” Aztec asked and Scarlet just smiled. She had known this for a while now. She had only been waiting for the alpha to snap out of his bushy state so she could have a serious talk with him.

This man was her sister’s love, but there was a chance that Sandra didn't want Aztec back, so Scarlet was going to respect her and get out of the way. She had already done enough damage to her sister anyway.

"Long enough. You always eat and breathe with Sandra’s name on your lips. It's not that hard to know, given your entire existence is controlled by what you think of Sandra in a day. You love her, and want her back, but she was never there.

“And now that she is back, you might want to fool yourself but your heart will lead your right to her. And well, I know my sister and her anger issues. I sure as hell don't want to stand in her way when she shows up,” Scarlet admitted, making Aztec let out a low laugh.

So Scarlet knew all of this earlier and had still p

    [SANDRA]"I officially hate moving,” Gemma complained and Snara just let out a laugh. Gemma had been whining the whole drive here and Sandra was enjoying every bit fit. It wasn't daily that she got to see a whiny ass Gemma but now that she could see her, Sandra felt like they were always going to be the same people they were five years ago. Their relationship hasn't changed and so many aspects of their lives haven't changed either."All you did was sit in the car you hopeless woman,” Logan scolded and Gemma just showed him his tongue. They had driven for three and a half hours to this side of the city and frankly, it was not easy with traffic and the sun, not to mention the noise in the city. Granted, the three of them were used to the chaos of Adamera city, but goddamn, they hadn't expected that many changes."Why shouldn't we have stayed at the huge house? At least until the weather figured out how to be kind to us, dammit,” Gemma complained again and Logan just took out an airpod

    [SANDRA]"The car is already here. We have to hurry!” Gemma said and Sandra looked at her sister who was a little too excited for a morning. What the fuck happened to courtesy and not ruining people’s mornings? Sandra looked at Gemma like she was going to kill her, but Gemma was just standing there shoving clothes into Sandra's face like she's supposed to pick from the collection being presented to her. Granted, they were all black, but even then, Sandra would eventually have to make a choice for the day."I will count to three, and you better be out of my face by then, or I’m gonna break your legs,” Sandra said and Gemma just ignored her rants and then went on to remove the pillows for the bed. Sandra sat up, looking at her sister who was not letting her sleep. She wasn't sure what Gemma was playing at, but the last time they had agreed, Sandra was the one to wake Gemma up, and not the other way around."Pick one and I’ll leave, I promise,” Gemma said, the mischief on her face mak

    [SANDRA]"We are going to shop for weapons, love,” Gemma said so casually that Sandra choked on air before instantly stepping on the brakes, clearly ignoring the honks at their back. Maybe she had heard Gemma wrong, yeah? There was just no way this daughter of a gun woke her up to go sh[pign for weaponry, right?"I’m sorry, what?! You woke me up at eight o'clock to go shopping for weapons????” Sandra asked and Gemma just nodded like it was the most normal thing. She was unbelievable. No one in their right mind woke up in the morning to go to the weapons house in the morning. Those were trips to be made in the afternoon, not early morning, and certainly not when they were dressed like mafia women. Oh, but they were hot as hell, dammit."Yeah why not. Besides, we'll be going to the shooting range later. I heard that werewolves are allergic to silver, so I got Logan to prepare some silver bullets for us. “This is going to be fun, now drive before the community keeps honking at us til

    [SANDRA]"Your parents weren't in a normal car accident, Sandra. Your parents were murdered by wolves. The Marshall wolves to be exact. And to cover that shit up, the Franzels were the only available werewolf family that could take the human girl and stay with her. “That is why they never gave you an explanation about what happened that night. They sat with you through the trauma to deal with their own guilt of everything. I doubt it was a hit though. Probably like a command from an alpha or something. “They ruined your life and took you in like some charity case. They took everything from you and then years later the stupid Marshall wolf took Diana too. Everything about those wolves makes me want to go back there and murdered them, really. “Now I know your wolf has developed, so you do what you must, but if I meet the Franzels, we are going to have a nice long chat. I don't care if it takes me years to get to the bottom of this. “But as I said, Sandra, no one is ever going to hur

    [SANDRA]"Let's get some ice cream, shall we?” Sandra suggested and Gemma just let out a chuckle. Only her best friend would suggest ice cream in times like these. The both of them had been a little too angry barely seconds ago, and now Sandra was suggesting something else. "Yeah sure. We’re at the mall, aren't we?” Gemma said and Sandra just high-fived Gemma. Together they walked out of the parking lot, and went into the mall to get their ice cream. It was a soft walk, one of best friends who had their sanity to fight for. The both of them were the only ones who knew how hard the fight was going to be and as frustrating as it was, at least they had each other, right? They didn't want to mind anyone’s business and for a moment they forgot that they were the two heiresses of the genera Stevens. "How many tubs should we take? I need to down a whole tub to make me feel better,” Sandra said as Gemma just smiled sheepishly at her best friend. She was proud of how Sandra was handling ev

    [AZTEC]"Do I really need to go?” Aztec complained as Rodrigo and Scarlet looked at the alpha, disbelief written all over their faces. They were at the breakfast atabek and were discussing the potential clients with him and he was being stubborn. One of the clients who was interested in the designs by the house of Marshall was at the mall and Rodrigo had said he would be going to the meeting. However as it turned out, Rodrigo was quite held up with the masters of the Marshall pack and the alpha was the one who had to go."Is he being serious right now? That's a client and he's acting like he doesn't want to go. What the hell happened to the Aztec we know, the man who wouldn't do anything that didn’t give profit to the house of Marshall? “What happened to the big bad alpha who never whined. Goodness ai miss that alpha,” Scarlet said and Rodrigo just nodded at her in agreement."Tell me about it. The one we are left with is a crybaby who doesn't even know the difference between his fa

    [SANDRA]Walking past her past, Sandra hadn't expected to gel conflicted even for a moment. She had thought that everything by then would have been easier to deal with, but then it was always going to be easier if she faced it a few more times right? Seeing everyone watching her, Sandra walked with her head high. She didn't increase her pace nor did she slow done, even though a part of her wanted to ask the alpha if he was okay. Granted Aztec looked fine as hell this morning but still there was a frown on his face, and a smirk on Broderick’s face, a reminder that all of this had just never been forced on him. Well, it didn't matter now, did it? "Are you okay?" Gemma asked when they reached the parking lot. Sandra breathed out a sigh of relief as she looked at the ice cream in her hands. She just nodded at Gemma and opened the car door. She had things to worry about and Aztec Marshall was definitely not one of them. Gemm could sense the change in her sister so she figured it was a

  • Replaced To A Cruel Beast   C132: Welcome to Vengeance Avenue

    [SANDRA]"Oh Gemma, You’re here early,” a voice greeted when Gemma and Sandra walked into the first warehouse. It was an old building on the outside, a building that seemed to be on its last straw. Anyone could assure that the county municipality was feeling terrible for the warehouse owner and so decided not to bring down the building as if it was the last wish of the owner. It looked terrible really, that anyone who walked past the warehouse could have easily assumed that the building would come down on itself. Maybe that was also why there were no markings whatsoever, save for the title, 'Vengeance Avenue' which was written on the building. That was the only marker to make it known that this was actually something someone was hoping to revive. However, when Sandra and Gemma got in, Sandra's jaw visibly hit the ground from the extreme contrast between the interior and the exterior of the building. The interior of that warehouse was everything Sandra Franzel had wished for when

    [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
