Giselle quickly hung up the call.
The Luna felt like she was struck by lightning in the middle of the day. She barely breathe. Her heartbeat raised, and her hands were shaking and feeling stiff at the same time. A cold ran across her spine, making her numb with the chill of it. Her palms wetted with cold sweat making it hard for her to even held her phone still.
If she was not mistaken, that was Tina. That was Tina on the other end, answering Marcus’s phone.
By any means, did that indicate Marcus was with Tina at the moment?
But the head alpha said he would be at the packhouse to settle some works, and then he might pay Fynn a visit to place an appointment for Giselle’s mom. Marcus never mentioned of him seeing Tina.
Plus, Tina was supposed to be abroad then. Giselle’s mom told her the omega had been abroad for months now. Then why was she here? Had she been there all the time?
Giselle bit her lips. Suddenly, Giselle felt h
“What?”Giselle pretended like she did not know what was Derek talking about.The Luna quickly turned away. She changed the subject, “Let’s go! We should be there on time!”But Derek did not let her get away. The man held Giselle back by her arm, he said, “Whatever bothering you, if you could let it out, it would be so much easier to handle.”Giselle clenched her teeth. She did not turn around. The Luna nodded, “I know. But it’s nothing, really.”Derek stayed quiet for a while. After he affirmed that Giselle would not tell him anything, he let go of her.“Giselle, you should know that I’m your friend. I cared for you. If anything bothers you, let me know. I’ll lend you an ear, maybe an arm, too.”The Luna nodded, finally turning around. She looked at Derek, and smiled reluctantly, “Maybe I’ll need you to drive.”She was not sui
“I’m sorry.”Giselle looked at the text message that Marcus had sent her. She seemed unbothered.The head alpha must be sorry for Giselle finding out about his little secret this soon.Now come to think of that, maybe when Marcus did not make it to their date the first time, the head alpha probably had spent the day with Tina, too.Giselle could not help but feel utterly bitterness.Was it really fun to play with her emotion like that?Tina had come back, and the head alpha was still being all lovey-dovey with Giselle. For what? What did he think?Giselle bit her lips. She could not find a proper answer to justify Marcus’s action. Nevertheless, she could only feel sour, and feeling herself being an absolutely dummies.Did not bother to answer his text, the Luna shoved her phone away in her bag, did her hygiene, and got ready to start making food for tonight’s guesses.Tonight, she had an app
“What?”Giselle felt caught off guard by Lukas's sudden statement.He had already paid them back? What was it?“What do you mean?” Giselle furrowed. The Luna did not understand what did this alpha say.But then, she suddenly remembered what her mom had said.Edsel Brown and his family had been accused of misleading the pack members. They had failed to meet the members’ hope of growing in both strength and financial. Most importantly, his right-hand Tery was caught red-handed lurking around the Ashes pack territory.Giselle bit her lips, thinking was it true that the pack her mom had been banished from, and the pack Lukas wanted her mom to come back to was the Ashes pack?Lukas said the alpha had done for Giselle and her mom a payback, with everything that happened recently at the Brownson pack, one was the misleadings, failure of being a head alpha; one was invading another pack’s territory. Giselle
The Luna stared at her phone for a while before picking up, just a second before the call died.“Giselle?” The head alpha voice resonated from the other end. He sounded unsure.It was not Tina’s voice like Giselle had expected.Why had Giselle thought it might be Tina? Maybe it was because the Luna thought Marcus was still with the omega at the time. It might be the omega who called Giselle to show off her winning over the pitiful Luna.Giselle heaved a heavy sigh, “I’m here.”The head alpha breathed a sigh of relief. Carefully he asked, “Are you at your mom?”Giselle got back to the couch, and opened the juice can, taking a sip before answering him, “Yeah.”She sounded curt, looked ever so careless. But honestly, she felt anxious, to say the least.Actually, she did not want to pick up the phone, but somehow, she still picked it up. Maybe she wanted to hear what
Marcus had pulled over to Catherine’s apartment building two hours ago. He had thought of going to her restaurant first. But he had changed his mind. On his second thought, Catherine’s apartment might be a better idea.He had even seen his Luna, tiredly getting into her mom’s apartment building. She was still in her chef uniform.Marcus had to hold himself back from jumping in front of her, pulling her into a tight hug. It had been hard, but he had successfully refrained himself.Another hour passed until it was almost two in the morning when Marcus finally called Giselle after all of the texts he had sent her.At the moment, Marcus was sitting in his car, looking at the entrance of Catherine’s apartment building. The head alpha was waiting for his Luna to show up. He felt himself getting more and more anxious as seconds passed by.His wolf sensed his anxiety, too. Yet, it did not do anything at all. It sat there in silence,
Dorris Bailey got home by one-thirty in the morning.Currently, the former Luna had changed into her sleeping gown, she was in her kitchen, pouring herself a glass of wine. She did not feel any sleepiness at all. As of now, all of hers right then were filled with glee. There was no space for anything else. She was still overly joyful at the news Nabeel had brought her.Dorris drained her glass of wine in one go. She poured for herself another one, drinking it up in one go once again. After three tall glasses of wine, Dorris finally felt a little bit collected.“Ha!” Dorris let out a dry laugh, then suddenly it became a satisfying laughing, “Hahaha haha! Haha haha!”Looked who was winning then!No words could describe how she felt right then. To say the former Luna was over cloud nine still be an understatement. It was more than that!More than that!Mindlessly, the former Luna touched her heart pendant that her
Toby was sure that Raiz had been up to something suspicious. He must have had a shook hand with Edsel to do something fishy.Toby must find out what had they been planning to do.He had had Tim snuck into the prison for those rogues to find the rogues that had attacked Marcus before.At first, they all thought the rogue was a random and reckless one. Raiz could never let rogues wander around the Bailey pack’s area. He needed the pack, so it would be better if no rogues were found lurking around.But now, when Toby thought about everything that had happened, it might not be the case. The rogue who attacked Marcus might be one of Raiz’s lackeys.Just as predicted, the rogue had gone. He was not present at the prison. Someone took him right under Marcus’s nose.If the head alpha knew this, he would be in rage!Nonetheless, Toby needed more. He could not use the disappearance of the rogue to be evident against Raiz. That
After running like a maniac for approximately thirty minutes, the strange wolf finally stopped at an abandoned warehouse.Toby looked at this run-down warehouse, feeling confused.Where was this place?Did they still in the Bailey’s pack’s area or not?“Get down.”The strange wolf kneeled for Toby to get down from its back. When the fighter was down, the strange wolf immediately shifted back into his human form.Upon seeing this strange man’s appearance, Toby immediately felt caught off guard.This man looked exactly like Lady Bailey!A man version of Lady Bailey!“La, lady…” Toby murmured. The fighter seemed like he could not form a proper word anymore. He was astonished. If it was not for the scar on his neck, Toby would have mistaken this man for Lady Bailey.“Dorris is my twin sister,” the man said, clearing all of Toby’s wonder, “My name is Nabeel.”The fighter was stunned to speak once again.Twins?But Toby had never seen him with Lady Bailey at all.“You never showed up,” Toby

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
