Marcus shook his head to dismiss the thought. Giselle could never. When Marcus thought of the switching, Giselle was in critical condition. When Marcus suggested it, Giselle had not known anything. She had just awakened from her coma. The confused look on her face told him that she was clueless. There was no way Giselle could be the one who forced Tina to leave Marcus. Marcus refused to believe in this. But why did he still think about it? Could it be because of what he had heard through Tina’s call? Marcus recalled it. The more he remembered it, the more disturbing he felt. ‘If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have to leave Marcus! I wouldn’t be in this stage! It was all because of you!” ‘If it wasn’t for you and Edsel, do you think that I would choose to leave the one I love with all my heart to go with another man?’ Tina had mentioned of Edsel. Marcus furrowed. If there was Edsel involved, that selfish of a head alpha who would only care for his throne. He might have done it.
Brenna hung up the call, staring into the void in front of her. The Brownson pack’s Luna recalled what had happened when she had met Edsel. When Brenna had come to know Edsel, the alpha was a rogue for all that she knew. She had introduced Edsel to her father and asked if her father could accept him and his sister (who Brenna had come to figure out later on that she was Edsel’s ex-mate) into the pack. Her father had hesitated at first, but then he had to agree. Because one, she had Edsel’s pup. Two, Edsel had saved her life when Brenna had been kidnapped by some rogues lurking around their boundary. Though her father accepted Edsel to the pack, he had clearly stated that only Brenna and Brenna’s pup would be the heiress, and the heir to his throne, not Edsel. Edsel had not been as frustrated nor disappointed as Brenna had thought he would be. He stayed as calm as possible. He had even accepted her father’s condition with ease and carefree. He had said he only needed a shelter, and t
“Now that’s you’re here, I’m feeling safe now,” the Brownson pack’s omega said as she locked her gaze on Marcus.“Don’t be ridiculous. Even if I’m not here, you will always be safe. There are others around,” the head alpha reassured her.Tina shook her head almost immediately. Timidly, the omega said in her soft tone of voice, “No, they’re strangers. They’re dangerous. They might harm me! Only you. Only you mean no harm to me. Only you who care for me.”Marcus did not make any comment about this. Instead, he asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”“Pardon?” Tina moved away from him a little bit. Her eyes blinked in confusion. What exactly did the head alpha mean to say?“What had caused you to be like…this? What happened before you showed up at my bar? I have always wanted to ask you that, but I haven’t got my chance. Can you tell me now?”Marcus stared Tina right in the eyes, patiently waiting for her to say something.He did not know that although as calm and as collected as the ome
The pack house had clearly not been taken care of since God knows when.Dust and molds were everywhere. Even puddles of raindrops still remained, making the already dirty floor appear to be dirtier than ever.Upon seeing this, the Brownson pack’s Luna clearly seemed lost.This was the pack house. Even when the head alpha did not live here, it would not have to be this bad. There would still be someone who remained here. But this place looked run down to its core. It was the sign of no lives here for a long time.“What happened to this place?”Unknowingly, a confusing question slipped through her lips. When Brenna realized she should not have asked such a question, the damage had already been done.Sir Alex glanced at her through his back. His eyes flashed the look of judging and mocking. Without bothering to turn to face the Luna, blandly he said, “You should ask your mate. You’ve let him rotten this place. But not just this place. He has rotten the pack also.”“Are you blaming me now
Brenna frowned.What did Tery have to do in this?“Why are we talking about Tery now?”“Because! Because Tery is one of them, Brenna! He also played a role in killing your father!”“He what?”This story had taken a turn in a direction that Brenna could not dare to think of.“Tell her!”One of the three wolves standing kicked at those who were kneeling, ordering them to tell the Luna the truth.It would be better if Sir Alex’s lackeys let them rogues confessed what they had done themselves.The two rogues exchanged a look with each other before one of them cleared his throat, beginning: “Edsel promised us of the lives we could only dream about. He said that if we could kill the Brownson pack’s head alpha, he would let us join the pack, or he could support us in having our own pack.”“We didn’t want to do it at first. Because if he got caught, or we got caught, it would be the end. The Brownson pack wasn’t a well-aware pack at the time, yet it was still a formidable pack. Their fighters
‘Aren’t the head alpha’s daughter has your pup? Why don’t you use that to gain the crown?’ A strange voice resonated.‘That old sh*it has declared only Brenna and her child would be legitimately inherited his throne,’ Edsel was grunting in the record file. He sounded irritated with a hint of fury in his tone of voice.‘But what do we get in this?’ Another man spoke up.‘You will be accepted to the pack,” Edsel determined said.‘What if I don’t want to join the pack? The Brownson pack isn’t that weel-aware anyways. They probably don’t have enough to benefit us all!’A long silence had taken place before Edsel heaved a long sigh, compromising with them.‘If you don’t want to join the pack, I will support you to have your own packs.’‘We don’t have lands.’‘Don’t be greedy,’ Tery’s voice chimed in, clearly upsetting. He had been quiet in this record until the, ‘You only killed the already weakened head alpha. How hard could it be?’‘We don’t, Terry! We need some benefit out of this! We d
Although Brenna had seen this coming, the Brownson pack’s Luna still got a little bit taken aback by Edsel’s shameless saying.“Have you got no shame?” Brenna gritted through her teeth.Edsel looked at Brenna, emotionless.“What your words, omega!” He grunted.Brenna immediately felt the pressure on her wolf right at the moment Edsel began with his threatening tone of voice.However, the Brownson pack’s Luna did not feel afraid like she should have. Instead, she only felt hatred toward Edsel, if not more.What was he good at as a head alpha?Nothing!Edsel did not have the power to make others respect him, rather than constantly using his head alpha tone to get their submission!Such a pathetic head alpha!Brenna had never seen such a head alpha abusing their privilege this much!Her father had been right all along! Edsel could never be a head alpha!“I’m not just an omega! I’m your Luna! I’m the Luna of this pack!” Brenna yelled out. The frustration in her tone of voice was clear for
The Bailey’s pack’s head alpha stayed focused on his phone while the Brownson pack’s omega sat close to him. Tina even put her head on his shoulder, looking all lovey-dovey than ever.Tina looked triumphant. Giselle could swear she saw it in Tina’s eyes. The Brownson pack’s omega was acting all provocative toward Giselle. It looked like the Brownson pack’s omega was showing Giselle that no matter how hard Giselle tried, Marcus would still be hers and hers only!Giselle was nothing but a replacement for Tina, and the poor Giselle must wake up before it was too late.But it had already been too late!Giselle loved Marcus. She could not back up from this anymore.If it had been before, Giselle would be pleased and even relieved that Tina had shown up. And Giselle could leave without any hard feelings. But now? Things had taken a turn.Giselle could not find it in herself to leave anymore.It hurt her just to think of it.Giselle turned off her phone, and turned to the other side, facing

Derek met Giselle again a week later.The girl was queuing at the coffee shop that Derek was frequent. The two were pretty surprised to see each other there.“You were Derek, from a week ago on the street, right?” Giselle asked him first, with a hint of unsure.Derek beamed at her. He nodded, “Glad you remember me.”“Oh, no. Not that kind of remember,” Giselle shook her head.The manager chuckled, “I know. So, erm- would you mind having a cup of coffee with me?” Derek asked.And surprisingly, after a bit of consideration, Giselle said yes. But it was not rocket science. The girl was curious about Derek and that was all.From what had happened three days earlier, this man seemed to know her and that bothered Giselle. How could she forget if she ever met the guy? He seemed to be a nice guy, Giselle would remember if she had met him before.But then, again, everything about her past was nothing but a blurry mess to her. He might be someone she knew back then. Moving here was such a great
“Giselle-” Marcus said, trembling. He could not believe in his eyes anymore.It was Giselle by flesh and bones! She was not Marcus’s hallucination.She was alive!“Giselle!”The head alpha happily pulled Giselle in his arms, hugging her tightly as if he ever let go, then Giselle would disappear in only a blink of an eye.If that ever happened, Marcus did not know how he could hold himself together anymore.Now that she was here, he would not let her go ever again.His wolf was howling, feeling happy that it could finally bathe in its mate’s comfort scent once again.This was ecstasy.“Wow, easy! Who are you?” Giselle frowned, pushing Marcus away harshly. The girl looked at Marcus with only irritation and confusion.“Giselle-” Marcus found himself dumbfounded. He could not catch on with the situation anymore.Giselle frowned, eyeing Marcus head to toe. The girl then huffed, she sounded so distant, “Do you know me?” Marcus was too stunned to speak. His lips quivered but no words could
A year later.“It’s Toby’s wedding ceremony today, Gigi,” Marcus said, “He’s getting married to your human friend. They both seemed very happy.”Marcus shoved his hands into his pockets, his eyes darting away as he let out a heavy breath.It had been a year then. A year of longing and torment with Marcus.Time had passed but he could never forget the day Giselle fell off the cliff, and how useless Marcus felt over a year ago watching her disappear right in front of his eyes. Though that day had been gone for good, still, Marcus could recall the sadness and such a helpless feeling of a year ago like it had just happened yesterday.Marcus still lived, but he rather d*ead.The head alpha did not seem to be himself anymore but rather an alpha wolf struggling and tormenting himself.He overworked himself to the point of being almost exhausted. He rarely ate or drank anything. His sleeping schedule was a mess, too. He was deprived of sleep. Because every time he closed his eyes, he could no
When Tim and Ben got to the lighthouse, they got no sight of Marcus at all.Raiz’s lackeys’ bodies lay on the ground, no longer intact. Then there was also Raiz, who lay dead behind Marcus’s back. His cause of death might be a b*loody hole in front of his chest, or it could be because of the silver knife piercing through his forehead. Either way, Raiz was dead.But Marcus? They did not know about his whereabouts.The head alpha had been impatience, so he came here by himself first. And for what had happened, Tim and Ben could say Marcus handled the situation well. Yet, where was he then?Did anything unfortunate happen to him?The two looked at each other, frowning.Unexpectedly, they heard Marcus yelling, “Giselle!”The two flinched, rushing to where their head alpha’s calling rang up. And they saw him.There he was, diving under, frantically searching and calling Giselle’s name. But there was no sight of her.“Marcus!”“Alpha!”The two called out for their head alpha, but they got n
Without any hesitation, and not even a blink of an eye, Raiz’s blade c*ut through Giselle’s throat like it was nothing.Not only Marcus was too stunned to react, but only Giselle.The cut was quick. So quick that Giselle did not even feel the sharp edge of the knife slashing through. Only when the damage had been done, as the stingy feeling rushed in with the burning sensation that flooded her neurons, did Giselle realize what Raiz had done.Giselle looked down and widened her eyes in disbelief as she saw b*lood quickly staining her front dress.Her wolf immediately got into action, spreading its healing ability to keep Giselle from dying.The Stephern’s omega was lucky because it was not a cut caused by a silver knife. Otherwise, she would be dead by now.“Stop right where you are!” Raiz raised his voice, and he caught Giselle’s attention.And then, Giselle heard a raging roar. The roar was so scary that it even terrified Giselle’s inner wolf.Looking up, the Stephern’s omega saw Mar
“Aren’t you happy now that your beloved uncle calls, Marcus?” Raiz said smudgily.“Where’s she?” Marcus got straight to the point.“My oh my, aren’t you worried about her?” Raiz chuckled, “And here I thought you two are separated. How silly am I! I almost got played by your little one, nephew.”Marcus stayed silent for a quick second before replying, “Let Tina go!”His words hit hard.“Pardon?” Raiz raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Giselle.The Stephern’s omega quickly turned away, avoiding his gaze. Tightening her fists, Giselle bit on her lips hard enough that she tasted blood.Even though she had a guest that Marcus would call Tina’s name out in the very first place, Giselle still felt somewhat hurt.However, she must endure this feeling.As she said, Marcus and Giselle were histories. Apparently, Marcus would think of Tina right away. Also, it was kind of humiliating for Raiz that he had chosen the wrong one.Marcus probably had not heard about Giselle’s missing yet. Be that as
"What do you mean Giselle is gone?" Marcus sounded disbelief.How could she be gone?But f*uck it, he had no mind to think about it anymore.He had to get to the hospital first!.The special department was in a hastiness.Securities and guards were seen at every corner of the hospital and its parking lot, desperately searching for the Stephern’s omega, who had gone missing. Every little detail counted. Therefore, they were doing their best searching for her.Marcus barged into Giselle’s ward, where Fynn had already been there. The doctor leaned on the window pane that Giselle kept opened and facing the door. He looked troubled.The head alpha looked around the whole room, frantic.“She has been gone when I came here,” Fynn sighed, “We have no idea where is she. We have been searching throughout the hospital but could not seem to find her anywhere.”“Did she go out alone?” Marcus nervously asked, “Have you checked the surveillance footage yet?”Much as he wanted to jump right to his f
"Let me go!"Marcus was startled awake to find he was no longer in Giselle's dreadfully cold and cramped hospital room. He was at his house now, asleep on the couch since God knows when.The head alpha sighed, and slumped back against his couch.Resting his hand on his forehead, Marcus stared at the ceiling, remembering what had happened this afternoon.Giselle had told Marcus to let her go. She still did not have any particular feelings, however, Marcus could hear a little bit of inner pleading in her voice.Marcus knew it would be best if he let Giselle leave the mess that was him. But at the same time, he could not. Just as he thought about letting Giselle leave, Marcus could not bear it.He was too blind beforehand. He let his anger cloud his mind and made a terrible mistake.***“Let go of me!”Brenna and Tina shouted out loud. The two were kidnapped and brought to the forest within the Ashes pack territory.In such a place, no one could interrupt Lukas took out his anger on them
