"Marcus, I don't know them!" Giselle said.Her voice sounded a little uncertainly, "I think I know what you're talking about, but I really didn't do any harm to Brenna and Tina! I avoided them at all costs. You know it too well!""Enough!" Marcus scolded, "I've heard enough of your lies!""Marcus, I-""Even if!" Marcus cut Giselle off, "Even if it wasn't you, I knew it was just your lover. What's his name? Lukas?"Giselle was stunned.Lover? Who? Lukas?Marcus was accusing her of a crime she had not committed at all?"Have you lost your mind?" Shakingly, the Luna asked, "Since when did Lukas become my lover?"Marcus huffed, "Who knows! But I don't care! It’s either you or Lukas. I don’t care! Just stop now! If I knew Tina and Brenna got wounded or be in danger, Giselle, I promise you, you wouldn’t get out of this easily at all!"Marcus looked at Giselle formidably. In his words, Giselle could swear she heard the obvious threat. Then, without letting Giselle explain anything further, M
"My pup?"Giselle asked again. The Luna kept thinking that she had misheard. But her suspicions were immediately dismissed by Lady Bailey."Yes!" The Lady affirmed firmly.Giselle exclaimed, "I don't have any pups!"Lady Bailey shook her head, disapproving of Giselle’s exclamation, "Yes, you do! Go to the hospital to check in with doctor Cooper."As soon as the Luna heard doctor Cooper's name, Giselle immediately understood what Lady Bailey wanted to do."Lady Bailey, do you know you're suggesting me to deceive your son one more time?"The other end of the line immediately replied, “Yes!”Giselle gasped. The Luna could not believe that Lady Bailey was so cold and indifferent to this! How could she tell Giselle to do something so obnoxious one more time even though Lady Bailey knew too well Marcus despised of this?Lady Bailey added, "A one-time trick is also a trick, a double trick is also a trick! It won't make much difference."Lady Bailey's blushing, cold demeanor made Giselle feel
Giselle looked around back and forth around the neatly cleaned living room again. She would not be staying in this place for, maybe, a good period of time. But exactly for how long? Giselle could not say for sure. Probably until Marcus’s anger died out, or until the head alpha was calm enough for the two could talk to each other.However, until then, Giselle thought she should not have stayed in the place. In order to not provoke Marcus’s anger for more than necessary.Giselle had a feeling that if she had stayed here for any longer, Marcus would not have returned. And the fact that she kept trying to stay here for the purpose of meeting and talking, explaining things to Marcus would be quite stupid.All in all, the Luna truly thought that it would be the best if she returned to her mother's and stayed over there for the time being.Giselle breathed heavily.However, the Luna had just opened the door, standing in front of her were Lady Bailey and two strangers that Giselle had never s
"Sit down. You should eat something."Lady Bailey pulled Giselle to sit down at the tea table. On the table, a tray of hot food was freshly brought up. Some hot chicken soup and a cup of warm water."Giselle, from now on, you must not drink tea, coffee, or anything alcoholic. Your daily menu must also be carefully noticed. You have to follow a strict diet plan until the pup is born.""Tomorrow, I'll call your nutritionist to order for you a complete weekly menu. I want to make sure you have the healthiest pregnancy possible."Giselle mindlessly nodded. She really did not pay any attention to Lady Bailey's ranting at all. Her mind had completely gone blank. It had shut off the moment she saw the positive result shown on the pregnancy test.The Lady definitely discovers something was wrong with Giselle. However, she deliberately ignored it. Given that Giselle was just taking it by surprise, she didn't know how to react.The Lady cleared her throat, and said abruptly, "We should inform M
“Giselle-” Catherine whispered in disbelief.Her daughter had stepped foot on her old path!Catherine's most fearlest nightmare had come to life.“I know, mom. I know I shouldn’t feel that way. But I can’t resist the thought of how I don’t want it,” Giselle frustratingly exclaimed.From the moment that test showed her positive, the feeling within Giselle was pretty strange. She did not feel happy as she should have been. Instead, all she could feel was a heavy burden right at her chest. She barely took good care of herself, not to mention her pup!Do not get her wrong. Giselle wanted to have a pup with Marcus. She really did.But she did not expect the pup to come this early! She did not even have time to prepare herself mentally! And worse, Giselle and Marcus were suffering from a big trouble that could cause her to lose her mate!If she had lost her mate, and she could be banished from the pack due to the act of deceiving their head alpha, then her pup would have to live Giselle’s a
Another week had passed, and still nothing new from the Brownson pack. The heir to the head alpha position had not been decided yet. Sir Alex still took Lukas’s advice to be considerate. Although the Elder had thought Lukas would urge him for the answer as soon as possible, Lukas made no move.Sir Alex did not know what Lukas was thinking nor could he guest. The head alpha of the Ashes pack was a walking mystery of himself. Sir Alex knew he should take full caution of this Lukas. And now with him laying low on his activities, Sir Alex finally had some rest and focused on choosing the next head alpha, whether it would be Giselle or anyone else in the pack. He still needed to take the matter into full consideration.Sir Alex would choose Giselle if the girl was the only possible option. But the Elder prayed night and day for that to not come true.Brenna and Tina were anxious.No. They were not worried about the Brownson pack’s men that luring around their place anymore. Marcus had them
Marcus reached home forty-five minutes later only to find his apartment was empty.He looked around with a puzzled look.For sure, the mess he created a week ago had been cleaned up by none other than Giselle. The whole apartment’s living room had been back to its normal stage except for some broken items that had not been replaced. But aside from that, everything looked normal.Normal to the point it felt abnormal to him.Dust made up a sheer layer covered everywhere. It showed that there had been a lack of someone cleaning the apartment for a good amount of time.It used to happen before when he was single and living by himself. But now, he had Giselle, a clean freak, he must say. She would not leave the house unattended like this.What was wrong?A slight fear crept into his skin, making goosebumps to spread out. The head alpha felt anxious.His whole apartment felt cold and lacked the usual comforting eucalyptus scent from the one and only Giselle. His wolf was howling. It had r
“Giselle! Please! It isn’t a good idea to come up there!”Catherine pleaded. She tried to hold Giselle back as the Luna was so in rage! She wanted to head to Tina’s asking what did the omega want. Giselle had tolerated Tina for too long then! She would not be taking this again!She had to make it right one time for all if she ever wanted to live a carefree life again!“Mom, trust me! I’m not doing anything reckless. I’ll be coming home soon,” Giselle hugged her mother, trying to calm the omega down.Giselle knew Catherine only meant good to Giselle. But Giselle just could not take it anymore.Angrily, the Luna left for Tina’s apartment.Within a few rings of the doorbell, Tina opened up.Giselle was surprised to see Tina, to say the least.The once enchanting omega had never looked so battered like this. Tina looked like she had been through hell and back. The girl looked worn out. She reminisced of a girl who had been suffering from an incurable disease for years!Tina as of then loo

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
