Replaced To A Cruel Beast C138: Her Sister's Special Gift
[SANDRA]By eight o'clock, Sandra Franzel was awake and back at Gemma’s study. She hadn't had much sleep but then it was like that was a pleasure she could afford at the moment, she needed to get everything in motion and right now, she needed to catch up on her research. The intelligence books she had read last night gave her much information, but she still needed more. And she was going to get it. So for the next three hours, Sandra focused on her research, making sure to dot the i’s and cross the t’s and soon enough she had adequate information on the Stevens industries. She managed to finish just in time when Gemma woke up too."You’re crazy. Did you even get some sleep?” Gemma accused, and Sandra just let out a laugh. She was currently in the kitchen trying to make herself some coffee. She hadn't eaten last night and while it was a bad idea for her to start the day with coffee, she wanted to be alert throughout the day. Then again, they are going to be testing weapons today an

[AZTEC]"She agreed to meet with me,” Alpha Aztec Marshall said to Rodrigo who was watching him in silence. The man had been overthinking from the moment the text had come through and hearing it from Aztec was just the confirmation he needed to know that the woman had a hold on his alpha for a long time. He was somewhat happy though, because Sandra had become the only reason Aztec did most of the things he did lately. He had sobered up, prepared for a new reality in which these two were to face each other, though he hoped that it would all be okay."Well that’s better, because you were a little too close to squashing the poor phone in your hands. Get ready, brother, this is not going to be as easy as the other times. “She had a title now, she has someone to protect her, and she had nothing holding her back,” Rodrigo said and Aztec just sighed. He had been thinking about Sandra for a while now and he wanted to make things right with her. Granted, he knew he had screwed up more than

[AZTEC]For the next hour, Aztec Marshall sat at the restaurant, going through tons of videos of Sandra that were going viral. She looked so hot in all of them and the edits were driving him insane. He wanted to tell them to not look at her because she was his, but he couldn't do that. So he had to let himself sit there and be hopeful like he wasn't sure he was going to be dumped by the same woman he was yearning for. She had rejected him anyway, but why did he feel like there was a glimmer of hope for both of them? Why did he feel like maybe, just maybe they had a future to work through, and that their world wasn't going to come down on them soon?'How much longer?’ Aztec asked himself, right before he got a whiff of her raspberry scent. It was potent as hell and that was all he needed to know that the woman he was hopelessly in love with had finally made an appearance. He had ideas in his mind on what she would wear when she finally showed up, but nothing could have prepared him

[AZTEC]"Why did you call me here? I’m assuming it’s not because of the food, no?” "Oh yeah about that… I wanted to see you again,” Aztec said and it took every ounce of Sandra’s patience for her not to lash at the alpha. She didn't want to cause any drama and that too before she went to work. She didn't want to make headlines this early, even though she had a feeling that they would make headlines for today. Well, at least the only headlines she would be making wouldn't be any different for the ones she had been making when she had been married to Aztec marshall, right? There was a chance they would be obsessed with mentioning that she was there with the alpha but she didn't care about anything right now."Really? Well, you already did. I guess we’re done here, no?” Sandra said as if she couldn't believe the nerve tha alpha had. She had been excited to see his text and wanted to tell him that she loved being here with him, but then she had a broken heart, one that he had done a

[AZTEC]Seeing the woman he loved be driven away, Aztec Marshall knew that he needed to act and fast. He had lost her once and he wasn't going to lose her and not to Logan, a man he was sure had done more for her than he ever would. He didn't want to be in that position where he would have to choose between his sanity and his woman. So this time he was done playing games. He wanted her back and if he had to pull off the big guns then he would. He didn't care that she would probably be so mad at him to the point that nothing he did would make up for that. But it was a price he was willing to pay. He wasn't going to lose her and he wasn't going to let her anger rule her because he knew so well what anger did to people. He had seen vengeance in the eyes of the woman he loved with his life, and he hated it. He never wanted to create a monster and yet he had subconsciously done that. All he had wanted was to treat her and give her what she wished for the most and yet somehow he had nee
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C143: Well, Talk of The Unexpected
[AZTEC]The drive to Mehri hospital was a silent one as Sandra contemplated whether this was a fact or Aztec was just pulling her legs once again. She wasn't ready to be disappointed again, and yet for some reason, she was hoping that there was more to what she had learned over the years. Her nana was dead, but for her closure, she needed to go and find out what it was that Aztec wanted her to check out. There was no harm in it anyway. Besides, it wasn't like her world was going to be any worse than it already was, right?"Do you think he lied to me?” Sandra asked Logan when they reached Mehri hospital. Expectedly there were reporters and nosey paparazzis waiting for her at the Mehri gates, thanks to Aztec’s declaration. It was almost like they didn't have anything better to do than to make her life a little harder than they needed to. She didn’t want to be a spectacle and yet sometimes she made herself into one, without paying too much attention to it. It was crazy, what was happe

[SANDRA]When the door opened, Sandra was lost in her thoughts. She was conflicted between hoping for the best and expecting the worst. She was lost in the love she had for Aztec, the hate she felt for the man and her desire to drag doctor Hassan down to her hell too. She wasn't going to forgive the doctor for not telling her earlier about her nana's death and the fact that she had heard it on the same day that Aztec had disposed of the ashes was something she was never going to forget.Doctor Hassan was on her hit list and she wasn't going to deny that. She was simply going to ruin and drag his reputation to the mud so he could also feel the pain she had felt all this time. Maybe she was cruel, but hadn't they made her into that anyway?This was her nana’s doctor and the man had done nothing that could have explained all that happened. He was supposed to be loyal to Sandra but yet he had aged to break her heart more than once. Now that Aztec had called for this meeting she was havin

[SANDRA]Walking out of Mehri hospital, Sandra wanted to shed some blood. She wanted to go back to the shooting range at downtown Adamera and more than anything, she wanted to clear her head. She was already calling for an uber when Logan stopped her. "No, Sandra. You're not going anywhere in this condition. We're going to go home and try and figure out what the hell happened because this isn't the kind of shit that just happens. We need to get into their minds and know why this shit happened. “Everything has been crazy lately and if you go to that shooting range in your anger you might kill someone and you will regret it for the rest of your life… CaCalm down okay?" Logan said and Sandra sighed. She hated that he was right but then there was just no way of holding back anymore. She needed to make things right. Maybe Gemma would throw the punches for her this time, yeah? Defeatedly Sandra nodded at Logan and they made their way to the car. "Ignore them, don't act on your impulses,

[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

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.
