Novels by Marichelle

Sneaking into the residence of the alpha/luna has become easy for me, especially with the hidden tunnels and rooms. All I have to do is to keep to the shadows, watch and wait. The guard-wolves patrolling the residence don’t really take their jobs seriously (especially with the security heavier on the pack borders) so it’s easy to sneak into the back of the residence and to the back of the kitchen. I slip into one of the hidden tunnels and make my way to Liana’s office room to deliver her gift.There’s no one in the room, so I sneak in, leave the letter on her desk and leave through the hidden door in her room. I’m on my way out of the residence when I hear voices. It’s almost one in the morning, who could it be? I follow the voices and trace it to the hall of the elders. I peek through the door and see that there’s a meeting going on. Everyone is there except for Liana. Even Ramsey is there as well.“How can we have no leads to what has been happening?” Derek says, sounding frustrated

“Is that why she hates you? Because you know her secret?” Asher asks but I don’t say anything. “What else do you know about the Luna?” An image of Dorothea in an old, dusty cell flashes in my mind. “I have to go Beta, I still have work to do.” I stand, about to walk away when Asher grabs my arm. “You know what I’ve noticed about you? You only remember my title when you want to put distance between us. You decide when to be close to me and when to push me away.” I pull my arm away from his grip. “So?” “So Alexa, what are you hiding from me?”I refuse to be pulled in by those green eyes of his so I take a couple of steps back from him and say, “What do you think I’m hiding?” Asher is quiet for a couple of seconds and then he stands as well. “Fine, if that’s the way you want to go about it.” And then he walks away, leaving me to wonder just what he meant. I decide to not let it bother me and go back to work.What I needed to do right now was to find out about the plan Liana and her lover

“What the hell?” Asher mutters then stands, about to head to the door when I grab his arm. He blinks at me, surprised to see me in the room then blinks again as if he remembers how he got here. “Where are you going?” I ask. “What do you mean? I’m going to stop them and get an explanation from her.” “Really? You think that’ll work?” I ask with a raised brow. “Why?” “She’s the Luna, a very important person to the alpha, she’s even above you in rank. Do you really think she’ll admit it, even if you saw it?” “You saw it too!” “Who? The omega-maid that was just punished for seducing the alpha? Who’s going to believe me? Calling me as a witness makes your story even more unbelievable to them.”Asher stares at me while he weighs his options in his mind. “They are gone anyway.” I say after a quick glance at the window. “Do you know who the man with her is?” Asher asks. By now, I was already familiar with the build and stature of Ramsey from all the peeking I’ve been doing so I knew it was Ram

It all comes back to me now that I cannot believe I didn’t put the pieces together before. The voice I heard sounds just like Ramsey’s but that also means that his voice was the one in my dreams, the voice in the darkness. Was that why I always felt danger when he was close to me? I step back, wipe my eyes and look into the peephole again but what I see doesn’t change, in fact, they have stopped kissing and Ramsey is trailing his lips along the column of Liana’s neck. I had seen and confirmed with my own eyes now that Liana’s lover was Ramsey.“Wait.” I hear Liana say. “What is it, sweetness?” That term of endearment again, the same one I heard in my nightmare. “What do you think about Alexa?” “Alexa?” “Yes. Don’t think I miss the way you look at her.” Liana grumbles. “And how do I look at her?” Ramsey asks, sounding amused. “Do you like her?” He chuckles at her question. “Honestly, I don’t know what I feel yet. She is interesting.” “So you do like her.” “Sweetness, if I liked her, wh

It turns out that Derek does not expose the ‘incident’ that led to the searching of homes in the pack. I’m so sure it weighs heavy on his mind that he doesn’t find the other dagger or that he didn’t notice it missing in the first place. I smile at the dilemma he must be in but I hadn’t forgotten about Liana. Liana who had ignored my blackmail demands and was thinking that all was well in her world. It was time to shake that world.My suspension ended in two days and I looked forward to it, I looked forward to being in the same area as Liana and Derek. The two days passed by with a blur and I resumed at my new post. My first day working in the kitchen passed by without incident (if I ignore the looks and petty behaviours of the omega-maids I worked with) so when the kitchen was cleared out, I headed for the Luna’s side of the residence. I slipped into the old coat room and entered the tunnel that led to Liana’s office room. I had never opened the hidden door and always watched or liste

Ramsey winks at me and a chill passes up my spine. Why were warning bells ringing loudly in my head because of him? When I was Genevieve, Ramsey also made me feel uncomfortable but we had only met very few times so he wasn’t on my radar then. I didn’t know much about him then and I knew little about him now, so why was he making me feel this way?I can’t take it anymore so I break the eye contact first and turn my attention back to the huge mural painting of Derek and try to ignore the pit in my stomach. “Are you okay?” Hope asks. “I’m fine.” “You kind of zoned out a bit there.” “I guess I’m bored. I thought something more fun had happened.” I lie conveniently. But then my gaze falls on Liana, smiling and clapping along with the crowd and it occurs to me that something fun should have happened. Was it coincidence that Dorothea had escaped Liana’s clutches and then Ramsey had shown up or was I just being paranoid? I push the thought away and focus once more on the mural displayed proud
