Usually, Giselle’s eucalyptus scent was really faint. He could only sense it if he got close enough to her. But as of then, her scent was much more intense than before.Never had Marcus known that the comforting and soothing eucalyptus scent could be so tempting and luring like that.So tempting!So inviting!No, it was not the type of intense scent when an omega was in its heat. It was just denser than before. And he had not gotten any precaution about this, so obviously, he failed to prepare himself for the sudden attack of her scent. It tricked his wolf. It tricked his wolf into thinking its mate was going into her heat.Marcus immediately released Giselle. He had to calm his wolf down before he would do anything reckless out in this public.Giselle, with a troubled look on her face, she glanced at the head alpha and silently questioned his abrupt act.“Yes, I’m at the hospital. Everything is okay.”Giselle decided to focus on her call rather than the obnoxious head alpha that was
Marcus killed the engine of his car.He unbuckled his seat belt, got to the other side of the car, and opened the car door, “Let’s go!”But the Luna did not bug an inch. She sat there like a statue with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her eyebrows squinted together with a look of frustration painted on her face.The Luna kept her eyes straight forward and did not bother to look at the head alpha at all.Marcus suppressed his laughter. He huffed, “If you don’t want to walk on your own, then I’ll carry you on my shoulder then. How about that?”“You!” The Luna finally exclaimed.Giselle snapped in his direction. She could not believe in her ears.“Why? You don’t believe in me?” Marcus smugly said.Giselle still did not move.“Oh, you want me to carry you? Fine then.”Marcus finished his words. He then leaned in to unbuckle Giselle’s seat belt and carried her on his shoulder.“Marcus! Let me down!”Giselle tried to wiggle from Marcus’s captivation, “Let go of me!”“Shh!”Marcus s
The next day,When Giselle got out of her room, Marcus was no longer home. She could not sense his presence in the house anymore, so she assumed he might have spent his day with Tina again.Nothing new.The Luna sighed sulkily as she recalled their fight yesterday. She did not know whether she should call it a fight or not, but they did get into a heated argument.But it was only Marcus and his ridiculous assuming of Giselle. The Luna found no strength in her to counter him. Because she knew the head alpha still believed in Tina. And no matter how nonsense or even ridiculous Tina’s fabricated story was, the head alpha still willing to believed in it.Giselle had lost to Tina from the very beginning. She had lost due to the mutual trust of Marcus, and Giselle was weak.It would be easy to get torn down.The omega took a glimpse of the suppressants that she kept in her bag, pondering of should she use them or not.Doctor Cooper had sternly requested that Giselle should lay it down for a
Tina lay on her bed. Her blanket covered her whole. The Brownson pack’s omega was lying with her legs cramped up to her chest in a fetal position. From the outside, she seemed indifferent. But on the inside, the omega was being eaten alive by the thought of her wolf getting weaker and weaker.Up until now, she still could not believe what the doctor had said.What the f*uck was her wolf was weaker?She had been treating it for quite a while now. How came it still got weaker?Did the doctor really treat her well? Or did they slack off just because she was not their Luna?The omega chewed on her lips, thinking hard of such things as Brenna came in with a wheelchair, “I’m here. Have you changed? Let’s go.”Brenna earned to answer from her daughter. Confusedly, the Brownson pack’s Luna got to Tina’s side. She lifted the blanket up to find a scary pale Tina. Surprisingly, Brenna exclaimed, “Tina! What happened?”When she had left yesterday to arrange Tina’s new apartment, the omega still l
Marcus came to Lady Bailey’s penthouse at three in the afternoon. The beta was pretty much surprised to see him standing in front of her door, asking to meet.Lady Bailey could have turned him down, yet he claimed it to be a personal matter, not the pack’s business, so it should be the best if they kept it at home. Dorris could not find any reason to shoo him away, so she invited him in.They had not gotten to talk of anything when Tina’s call came.The head alpha only spared it a glance and then turned it off. Lady Bailey definitely saw who was calling, too.“You don’t answer her?” Lady Bailey blandly said.Marcus shook his head, “She isn’t my priority now.”“Oh, surprise,” Lady Bailey said. She clearly did not hide the mockery tone in her voice.“Mom, did you call doctor Cooper beforehand?” Marcus had no intention of dealing with his mom’s rudeness as of then. He had something in mind that he wanted to know more about.He had gone to doctor Cooper first, but the old man refused to t
Giselle and Lukas got to the elevator while having a fun chat about anything that came to mind.Today, Giselle had learned a little bit about the friendly yet distant Lukas. The head alpha of the Ashes pack also had some enjoyable points to himself.He could go on for hours about some random ranting; when he was not talking about the pack or work, Lukas seemed to be a nice guy. Giselle actually thought they could befriend.It was safe to say that he had changed the way Giselle thought himself to be a week ago. She had thought him to be a cold-hearted and the type of guy who would do everything, no matter what it took to get him what he wanted. But unlike Edsel, Lukas had a mind.“It’s great to talk with you like this,” the Bailey’s pack’s Luna said as she got into the elevator with Lukas followed suit.“I could be a little bit talkative when I’m with the one I like or when I feel like it,” Lukas shrugged, choosing the ground floor.“Oh, really? Then what makes you feel like it today?”
“You want to fight here, Alpha?” Lukas narrowed his eyes at Marcus.“I don’t mind to!” Marcus smirked. He freed Giselle of his tight embrace. The head alpha moved his mate behind his back, standing in front of her, blocking between her and Lukas.“Marcus!” Giselle hissed.She did not think it was a great idea if the two got into a fight here. It would bring them nothing but trouble.“Ha! Now you’re defending your lover?” Brenna chimed in with her smudgy tone that was filled with venom at of beginning.“He’s not my lover!” Giselle retorded, “And I’m not defending him! Where we are now is strictly prohibited from fighting! Marcus, you knew for the best! Lukas, you too!”The Luna looked up to her mate and then to the Ashes pack’s head alpha. She sounded persuading.She did not worry for Lukas. The Luna was anxious about her mate, Marcus. Her mate was known for being short-tempered. He might do something reckless if Lukas continued irking him like that.Not to mention, fighting in the neu
Marcus was too stunned to speak. At the moment, even his wolf was howling due to the unbearable pain it felt right now. It felt like it was being rejected, although Giselle did not utter such words. The bond between them was almost being torn and brunt into pieces. What it lacked was only a rejecting word. Marcus’s inner wolf dreaded that rejection. It did not want it. Yet, the feeling of rejection was nearer than ever. If Giselle would know, she would have said that the feeling was mutual and it did not pleasant or tolerable at all. Marcus’s body frame stayed stiffened for a good while. Anger was bubbling up inside of him. An unbearable fury sparked within himself. Still, he tried his best to contain it. But one thing for sure, the head alpha could not know for how long could he endure it. The atmosphere surrounding them was getting heavier and heavier each second passed by. It forced Giselle to give in, to surrender, to abide by his command. The Luna had to admit, she almost fe

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
