Replaced To A Cruel Beast C150: A Father's Only Choice
[SANDRA]"Sure, what's up?" Gemma asked once they had settled. She knew that this had to be serious if her father had come to them directly and a part of him hoped that it wasn't something that incriminated the both of them. "The files you released to the public have revealed the transactions of a terror group we have been tracking for so many years. We knew they were operating in Adamera for a while but we didn't know where they were getting their support from. "Now that everyone has seen them, and everyone knows the source of the data, your lives are in danger. The franzels have been financing the terror group for years now, helping them with trafficking cases. "This is a highly classified operation and as of this moment you two are going to be a part of witness protection, though a part of me thinks that you both will deny the protection anyway. The Franzels are dangerous and they know it too. We have tried for years to stop them but we failed. "I know this wasn't how you plann
Replaced To A Cruel Beast C151: The Planned Meeting
[SANDRA] "Where do you want to meet us?" Sandra asked that morning when the Franzels sent her a message. She had figured that she wouldn't stay offline forever and there were so many people looking for her anyway. Gemma wanted to oppose the meeting but she knew that this was a necessary sin. She knew that no matter what happened, no matter how everything would turn out, they needed to get out of their safe space and face the Franzels. Some things were too important not to face head on and with the information they had gotten from General Stevens the previous evening, the two sisters knew that nothing would ever change the fact that they were up against a greater evil. Then again, what would be their definition of that? Life was in itself a puzzle that would forever made the two sisters, it was a mist of chaos and one that they would have to be a little too careful about. And yet even then, as the two sisters stared at each other that morning, they knew that they had to do this.I

[SANDRA] An hour later the Stevens sisters were ready to go meet the Franzels. As usual, Sandra was dressed back though this time she was dressed in sweatpants and a crop top. Her hair was released and well laid back. She looked so dashing and so beautiful that for a moment, Gemma wondered if they were logging in to some beauty contest on a high fashion runway. Sandra was always pretty, but damn, today, she looked like she was the goddess of beauty and wanted everything that she could get to work with. She was darling too."Damn girl, you really are doing this, you look good little sis," Gemma said as she took in her sister's appearance. She turned to Sandra and gave her a final once over and when she was convinced, Gemma just smiled at her sister. Sandra looked happy today, and it was almost hard to tell that she was hiding betrayal and so many heartbreaks at the same time. She was determined to get through the day, no matter what happened and she wasn't going to falter just beca

[SANDRA] "These people are nosey as fuck,” Gemma said and Sandra just smiled at them politely like her sister in pajama sweats wasn't cursing everyone around them. Gemma looked like she was about to punch everyone here for staring at her."I will pull your ears if you curse at anyone else,” Sandra said as she looked at Gemma who was now pouting. They were in their own world, just two sisters who didn't have anything to worry about anymore. They looked happy and smiled genuinely, but where they were was a different case altogether. This wasn't the most ideal place for them at the end of the day anyway."Fine, let's go… they should be in the VIP section. That's where they will have more privacy away for the people who want to lynch them alive. I didn't even know why they chose the VIP section. “We could have told them to come down here and let the world judge them and listen to their stupid tasks,” Gemma said and Sandra just grabbed her sister before they walked to the VIP section.

[SANDRA] "I’m here.”"Great, now can we get this shit show on the roa… By what the fuck is he doing here?” Gemma said when he noticed the person who had just made an appearance.At least it was obvious that Gemma Stevens hadn't been expecting him, but they both should have known that wherever the Franzels were there would always be a Marshall caping with them. Gemma was pissed and she couldn't imagine what her best friend was currently going through at the moment."Hello Sandra, or should I say, Gina?” Aztec greeted and for a movement there, Sandra felt like she had just been sprayed by solid water. It was obvious she hadn't been expecting her mate to be here, but maybe fate would always have a different perspective. Of course it was the duty of the alpha to always show up for his pack members in scarce of a scandal and right now the great Aztec Marshal had come to be Franzel's backup and with him, was Rodrigo. Oh how it seemed so perfect and convenient for them. Sandra looked at

[SANDRA] To say the Marshall alpha was proud of his luna was an understatement. He had not expected her to handle herself like that, and he had come here to depend on her because he knew how the Franzels could get brutal sometimes. He had come to put the Franzels down if they had tried shit with his luna but seeing as she had managed to handle herself well, Aztec was more than proud of his luna. Granted, she wasn't going to come back to him anytime soon, but he understood her. He was going to support her even from a distance and he would work his way through to her. He didn't mind toiling, because according to him she was worth every ounce of sweat he would have to spill. He was ready for it all, and he was still proud of her. "That’s my girl,” Aztec said as he rushed after Sandra and Gemma were on their way out of the restaurant. Aztec Marshall was keeping his distance and did that to anger her. He had once seen her angry and he didn’t want all that anger to be redirected to hi

[AZTEC] "Y'know what, they declared war on me and mine. Screw the rules, Aztec Marshall. They wanted war and they will get it. Don't blame me for what will happen to them next," Sandra said to Aztec who had picked up when she had called him. He had been expecting her to tell him to keep his people in check but he had never expected that she would call him when there were screams in the background. It was all so loud where she had called and frankly, Aztec was worried for her.He was aware that she could handle herself but this time, he could tell that it was different. This was the kind of rage that made him feel uneasy. Something was happening and if his woman was hurt, then Sandra didn't even have to worry about the Franzels. Aztec would bring them down on her behalf and they wouldn't even stop to think of the consequences. He was going to make them pay. When Sandra hung up, Aztec’s phone rang again and this time, Rodrigo’s phone rang too.In their experience that was never a goo

[AZTEC] "No, you didn't,” Mary said and Scarlet just looked at her mother who was slowly realizing that the assumptions of the terrorists were probably true because Scarlet was manipulating them. What the fuck was even wrong with their child anyway?"You wanted money, and I needed money too. So I figured I could get us more. And got the duns from the terrorists. The lab results were a little weird, but I didn't think they would sing it out anyway. “If you ask me, it's her fault for not minding her business. Besides, wasn't I supposed to be the pack’s luna in the first palace? I wasn't going to let her take my Aztec just like that. I wouldn't let her be because she was never one of us anyway. “She was just a human and then she suddenly showed up acting all high and mighty—” Scarlet began but before she could finish her statement, her head flew across the room, forcing the Franzels into sheer silence. Oh, this was bad. "Anyone else have something to say about my luna? Huh?" Aztec a

[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.
