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
“You say what?” Lady Bailey exclaimed.The Lady appeared to be so bewildered at Giselle's words.Currently, the Luna was explaining the whole situation to Lady Bailey. But she left out the part of whatever Lukas had said before the elevator’s door opened to reveal them.The Luna sighed frustratingly, “I said that out of anger. But I don’t think I’m in the wrong here.”After a good minute of consideration, Lady Bailey heavily nodded, agreeing with Giselle. The Luna definitely in no wrong there. Marcus was too reckless. Even Lady Bailey could not understand or justify his action anymore.That Tina girl was definitely a pain in the neck. Lady Bailey needed to get rid of that girl as soon as possible, or else that omega would, for real, get Marcus under her spell once again.Now that she used the card of her wolf dying to have Marcus’s sympathy, the Brownson pack’s omega was aiming to win back her position for real. Lady Bailey would never accept such a mate for Marcus.The Lady looked at
“Sh*it!”The anonymous mumbled as he caught sight of Toby in front of him. The man quickly stumbled and turned around, wanting to escape the alley before Toby’s companion came.Yet, the anonymous was running out of luck.Nabeel had already been there.The banished beta and the younger fighter were about to corner him. From the corner of his eye, the anonymous quickly caught the sight of the empty trash bin that was tall enough for him to escape through the roof of the nearby house. Yet, before he could even step foot onto the trash bin, Toby had caught up with him. The fighter pulled the anonymous by his collar, yanking him backward, freed his hold, and let the man fall on his butt.Toby heard the anonymous let out a painful yelp before Nabeel reached them. The banished beta snarled, “Submit yourself!”The anonymous huffed unamusingly.To Nabeel’s demand, the anonymous replied with a sarcastic counter, “Who am I submitting to exactly? You? A rogue? Ha! Shame!”Merely after the anonymo
By the time the Luna made it to her car, her feet did not have the strength to support her weight anymore. Even her vision had started to get a little bit weary. It was weird cause she had never suffered such an ill feeling as this time. Yet, somehow her instinct was telling her to get in the safety of her car as fast as she could and drive home to her shelter. The outside environment was dangerous to her at then. But then, a thought flashed through her mind. Could this be her heat? Was her heat here already? It should not feel this tired and annoying, right? Nonetheless, she remembered what doctor Cooper had said. She had put her heat on hold for more than twenty years now. Therefore, her first heat would not be as pleasant as other omegas. She should prepare herself, but unfortunately, she had forgotten. Millions of thoughts ran wild in her mind. Should she go home, or should she go for her mom? Catherine definitely had gone through several heat cycles before. The omega, for
Every omega had had a vision about spending her heat with her beloved mate during her heat. And although Giselle was not fancy romance, the Luna occasionally did too, when she was clouded by her heat’s hazy mind. However, she had gone through her heat cycles by using suppressants. Therefore, her heat only lasted two to three days, with her constantly sleeping and nesting on her bed. Whenever her heat passed, the omega would be left with unbearable migraines, unpleasant feelings, and a terrible nauseous feeling if she recalled such fantasy. For sure, she had thought if she had spent her heat with her mate, it would be much better, especially for her after-math headache. Yet, the process of going through her heat in such a way had made Giselle feel sick to the stomach. She despised it. But this time, with Marcus, things had taken a turn. The feeling was ecstasy. "Ah!" Heavy heaves, soft moans, low grunts, desperate whimpers, and lewd squelchy sounds pierced through the dead silenc
Marcus woke up feeling good that day. His rut had died down, and even though his body was sticky and smelly with sweats, he did not mind. His whole body felt comfortable together with his head had never felt so light before. His inner wolf was no different. It indeed stayed quieter and collected now as compared to the last time. Marcus could even hear its satisfaction purred. It might sound funny, but Marcus had not spent a rut with the attention of another she-wolf ever. The head alpha did not feel it in him to spend his ruts with a complete stranger. Although the doctors had suggested he do so for the benefit of his wolf, he declined. Call him a conservative one for all they wanted. However, Marcus just wanted to spend his rut with his mate, the one he loved. Or else, he rather not. Some may say when he was with Tina, had they spent their rut and heat together? The answer was no. Although, yes, Tina might or might not suggest it, it was still a no from Marcus. The head alpha co

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
