“What do you want from me?”
Giselle was tied up.Her surrounding was a run-down warehouse. It was not that spacious, maybe about twenty square meters. Rotting woods, molding, and ammoniac scents filled her lung with some kind of a disgusting mixed scent.The two strange alphas heard Giselle asking, but they made no effort to answer her question. They just left her there and left.“Wait!”“Just stay there!”One of them snapped, slamming the door shut, leaving Giselle alone in the dark.She bit her lips, thinking of a way to get out of this situation. No matter what those men were up to, Giselle could swear they were no good.Giselle had not met them before, and even if they were in the Bailey’s pack, the chance of they knowing Giselle was their Luna was small. If they were not a council member or friend with Marcus, they would not know.Basically, Marcus made sure no one that did not attend their wMarcus.We could not go in any further in our human forms. It would be dangerous, so we shifted.“Where’s your friend, mom?”I asked her. I had sniffed around to find there were no other scents than Ben, my mom, and me. Our scents were so visible compared to the two rogues that hid in the abandoned warehouse over there.We made sure to keep a safe distance from them.Mom did not answer me.But then, I heard a low roar echoing from the other side of the forest.My ears peaked at the faint sound. I immediately stood up, looking around. My heart was pounding. That painful roaring got me worked up. I wanted to run to where that sound was. I felt like I was on fire. Anxiety crept through all the veins in my body, urging me to go whenever.The thrill was eating me up. “Do you hear that?”Mom and Ben looked at me, confused.“Hear what?” Mom asked. She peaked her ears up, trying to hear w
MarcusWhen we got to the hospital, Giselle was barely breathing. Her condition was critical.I did not remember how did we get out of the woods? What happened in the woods after I had found Giselle? It all seemed like a blurry memory to me. Also, how could we get to the hospital? How could we make it to the special department? I could not remember at all.Fynn had to struggle with me to get Giselle, and only at that moment did I realize I was holding onto her that tight.But I had no choice. I did not want to let go. My wolf did not want me to let go, either!“My mate was about to die!” I could not shake off the thought. It haunted me!I sat on the cold metallic bench right outside of the operation room.My elbows rested on my knees while my head was buried in both of my palms. My palms still had Giselle’s fainted eucalyptus scent and her intense bloody smell. The smell of it was somewhat irritated.I could not imagine
Giselle.Maybe the Moon Goddess had heard my praying, so she sent Marcus to me.Just when I was about to pass out, I saw a silhouette, a beautiful greyish-white wolf with flaring red eyes looking at me; and somehow, that silhouette seemed familiar to me.It reminded me of Marcus.No, it was Marcus!Although my nostrils were too weak to pick up any scents, his cedarwood scent was still vivid to me.I tried to lid my eyelids up. However, they felt so heavy on me. No matter how hard I tried, I could not.How pathetic!Such a simple task, but I could not even do it.How pathetic was I!Marcus got straight to my side.I could feel he was nudging on my side, but I was too exhausted to respond.It might sound strange, yet, I could feel sadness, agony along with warth slowly built up in him. I wanted to reassure him, telling him that I was okay. Since he had been there, I would be okay. Nonetheless, words stuck in
Giselle.“You’re distressed.”His words caught me off guard.“I…I don’t…”“You are. I can sense your distress, you know.”I nervously laughed, “Thanks.”Marcus looked at me, confused, “For what?”“You saved me. Without you, I couldn’t make it out alive.” I sincerely said.Maybe there were problems between us, but he had come.For now, that was more than enough.“Oh, that, don’t worry about that.” Marcus paused for a second, then continued, “I have something that I wanted to tell you.”I felt a tug in my heart when I heard his saying.What did he want to tell me?Suddenly, I felt so nervous.“What…What do you want to tell me?”Did he want us to part way?Did he want to end things between us? Came to think of it, there was nothing between to end at all.
“The Moon Goddess has established the bone between you and Giselle, not Tina! And now you are telling us that you want to cut the knot and tide another one with Tina? Do you hear yourself? This is such a humiliation!”Edsel was an alpha leader, too. This whole ordeal that Marcus was about to do might ruin his reputation. Edsel could not let this happen!Let alone Tina was with Lukas Perez then.Hence, Tina would not want to be with Marcus.“Giselle has just woken up, and she has already dealt with your bullshit like this! You do not deserve to be the head alpha!”Edsel hissed, pointing to the door, grunting demand, “You two should leave before I lost control over myself!”“Mr.Brown…”“Enough! Let’s go!”Marcus still wanted to say something. However, Lady Bailey seemed like she also had enough of his nonsense; she pulled him out.When there were Edsel, Giselle, and he
“Slap!”“What are you doing?”“Dad!”Brenna Brown and Tina Brown exclaimed at the same time.Brenna rushed to Tina’s side, sheltering her daughter from Edsel.“Have you lost your mind? What did my Tina do?” Brenna gritted. She did not know what was wrong with this man. He had just come home from the hospital and already released his anger on them! What had happened there?“You have to ask? Your precious daughter had pressed me to her mess! Her life is a whole mess that I try not to stick to it. But she has to drag me in as well!”Edsel completely lost his temper. Just by the thought of what Marcus had said, he could not help but feel anger boiling up inside of him.“First Marcus, then Raiz! And now? Who the hell is Lukas? You can’t stick to just one man?” Edsel screamed out loud, ever felt so frustrated, “My plan got all messed up because
“There’s someone outside?”Lady Bailey widened her eyes. She was horrified!No one could hear the conversation with Marcus!“Can we see the surveillance camera? Maybe we could catch that guy's face.”“No use. This area had no cameras.” Marcus wiped his face with his hands, heaving out a heavy breath.Big trouble!“You had better pray that person did not hear anything!”Lady Bailey stormed out of Fynn’s office, irritated.Meanwhile, at the parking lot of the hospital, the anonymous man got to his car, carefully looking around, making sure that there was no one after him.Unfortunately, the anonymous man had just got in his car and thought that he was safe when Nabeel caught up with him.“Calling someone?”Nabeel smirked. He looked at the anonymous man right in the eyes. Nabeel’s eyes flared blue. He emitted a dangerous pressure. Th
“That’s why you met Tina?”Giselle smiled, taking another sip of her hot milk since she could not take any caffeine just yet.Marcus nodded, “Unbelievable, right?”“No.” Giselle shook her head.“No? Who would have met their destined in a bar after all?” Marcus laughed, shaking his head, leaning back on the backrest of the bench.Giselle pursed her lips. She wanted to say something, but she chose to let it go.With Tina’s personality, if the girl had ever met Marcus somewhere else, other than the bars, that should be weird.But, on the other hand, the way Marcus implied the word “destined” had hurt Giselle. Nonetheless, she shook the disturbing thought away.Marcus and she, they could never be.A moment of awkward silence passed through, Marcus hemmed, he began, “I might have said it before, but I will say it one more. I’m sorry, Giselle,

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
