Catherine, who was clueless about the Brownson pack’s decision, was in the kitchen preparing Giselle’s favorite dish when she heard a loud knocking sound coming from her front door.At first, she thought it was Giselle, but it really made no sense to her. Giselle knew the door code.Catherine suddenly got an uneasy feeling about this. Thud! Thud! Thud!The knocking came louder. The person on the other side was banging on the door literally. It seemed like whoever the person was they must be in real urgency.“Open the door!” Brenna shouted.“Brenna?” Catherine sounded surprised. The omega never expected to have a visit from Brenna. The banished Luna hated Catherine to the gut. And it went both ways.All in all, it was not a pleasant surprise to hear Brenna outside of her door, pounding as if her life depended on it.“Open the God d*amn door you filthy Stephens!”Catherine really considered ignoring Brenna and just called the cops or the apartment building security. But then, could the
“You little b*itch!”Brenna shouted as she lunged herself toward Giselle.Surprised by the banished Luna’s sudden anger, Giselle could not avoid her attack in time.The banished Luna grabbed on Giselle’s collar, bombarding the poor omega with her non-stop questions, “What have you done? What did you bribe Sir Alex with? What did you give him? Are you planning on this from the beginning? Are you trying to get revenge on me?”Brenna’s eyes started to lose her concentration. In her eyes, Giselle could not see a hint of her humanity anymore. Instead, there was a look of her wolf trying to break free.Giselle’s inner wolf obviously sensed the threat coming from Brenna. It wanted to shift, too. Her inner wolf was telling her that shifting was her only way out of such a tight situation. Only if Giselle shifted, her wolf could protect her pup and her mom, too.But Giselle hesitated.She was prohibited from shifting in public.However, Giselle glanced at Catherine who was struggling with her c
A few minutes ago.Honesty speaking, Marcus was disheartened to see Lukas outside of Giselle’s apartment building. Although the head alpha of the Bailey’s pack did not make it so obvious, Lukas could tell; because the feeling was mutual.“What are you doing here?” Lukas asked, feeling irritated. Obviously, the head alpha of the Ashes pack did not expect to see Marcus here at all. “It should be me who asked such a question,” Marcus scoffed.“I thought I have made myself clear that I want to court Giselle?” Lukas arched an eyebrow in somewhat cocky behavior.The head alpha of the Bailey’s pack glared at his rival, “And I thought I have made myself clear that you wouldn’t get her?”Lukas squinted his eyes as he tried to dig through Marcus’s stone-hard expression. The head alpha of the Bailey’s pack did not look like he was kidding about preventing him and Giselle from getting together.“Such a bastard!” Lukas thought to himself.Be that as it may, Lukas really did not understand why.Wh
It was dark where Giselle was standing. Pitch black.The Stephern’s omega looked around in confusion, wondering how she could get here.Unexpectedly, after quite a few minutes of confusion, Giselle found herself covered in some magical blue light that glowed, and shone through the darkness of this unknown space. It was so bright that Giselle had to close her eyes for a moment. And when it disappeared, Giselle opened her eyes to find her wolf standing in front of her.Her brownish wolf cast an eerie aura that glowed in the dark. It became the only source of light in here. With her wolf being by her side, Giselle felt calmer.The Stephern’s omega kneeled, giving her wolf an Eskimo kiss. Her wolf purred, clearly enjoying the spiritual connection between the two. Though it always stayed within Giselle, it never had a chance to stand in front of her. It was a great change anyways.“Come on,” Giselle stood up, walking forward. Her wolf followed by her side.“Hello?” Giselle called out. But
“Where are we going?” Giselle asked.They had been walking mindlessly in this dark space, for maybe, hours on end. Yet, they did not seem to reach their destination. This space appeared to be enormous. It did not have an end. Giselle really thought so.“We’ll be there in no time,” the little girl replied, still leading them ahead.Suddenly, Giselle noticed a change in their surroundings. The pitch-back scenery was slowly turning brighter. And as they were walking forward, their surroundings changed, too.It changed to somewhere Giselle was not really familiar with. But then, she came to realize they were heading to the hospital of the Bailey’s pack. The special department, to be exact.Giselle looked around, feeling lost. Her passersby did not seem like they were aware of Giselle, her wolf, and the little girl. Those walked through them literally.However, Giselle only felt confused about why did her daughter take her here. Obviously, there was nothing Giselle needed to do at the hos
Lukas was in his office, recalling what had happened three days ago at Giselle’s.If he was not mistaken, Lukas definitely had seen a silhouette sticking its head out to have a look at the frightening scene. But it would not be so suspicious if that person did not turn away real quick just by the glance of Lukas.Therefore, the head alpha of the Ashes pack had all reason to believe whoever that person was; they definitely had something to do with Catherine’s death.Catherine was a weak wolf. Lukas was positive that the omega did not have any enemies at all. Then who?Immediately Lukas remembered the most important piece of news recently: Giselle had been chosen to be the next leader of the Brownson pack!The head alpha of the Ashes pack had all reason to believe that the one who was behind this tragedy was none other than Brenna or Tina. Must be one of the two!“That b*itch!” He grunted.The head alpha tightened his fists until his knuckles turned white. His eyebrows squinted to almos
Marcus looked down at his bouquet of lilac lavender flowers mixed with eucalyptus and baby’s breath in his hand.He suddenly realized how awful his choice of flowers was.“You’re here,”While the head alpha still deliberated within himself about whether he should throw the flowers away or keep them, Giselle’s soft voice rang through the silence of her ward.Her sudden exclaim got Marcus startled. The head alpha got all abashed.“Yea-yeah,” Marcus cleared his throat as he answered Giselle.Giselle was sitting on her bed. Her legs curled up close to her chest, Giselle wrapped her arms around her knees, chin resting upwards, her eyes peering out the sunny window outside.Although the temperature inside was warm, Marcus still felt oddly cold. He could not find valid reasons to explain the situation. Yet, by the look at how emotionless Giselle was, he suddenly understood why.The little ball of sunshine had its light die.The cheerful and bright soul Giselle had, had seemed to be gone. Wha
"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

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
