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
The Luna felt utter disappointment at her mom.How could she?How could she betray Giselle like this?How could Catherine still hold on to such silly thoughts?Edsel would never love her! All his life, what he loved was his throne, his power, and himself only! There was no room for others. Only he and himself!Notwithstanding, Catherine still had the idea of giving the Ashes pack to Edsel!She must have lost her mind!“Mom! Look! When you’re at the hospital, almost dying from his marking bite, where was he? When I was five, who sent those lackeys of him to our house, forcing you to do a removal surgery to get his mark out? Tell me if it wasn’t Edsel!”“Gigi, he was forced,” Catherine weakly defended Edsel.“No! No one forced him! The man had done this all of his own wills! No one put a knife in his throat or pointed a silver bullet in his head to force him to do it! No one! Mom, it’s him! It’s his own will! Wake up! See where you are! You’re not and never will be his mate!”“Slap!”Th
The Luna ran out of her mom’s apartment building.As her vision got blurry, Giselle could not see where she was going. Unfortunately, the Luna stripped down the front step of the apartment building. She felt herself fall before she was engulfed in a tight hug.All of sudden, the cedarwood scent from none other than the head alpha of the Bailey’s pack lingered around her, his worried voice came right after, “Giselle, what happened?”The Luna looked up. Her blurry vision made it hard for her to see Marcus’s face clearly. Nonetheless, she still could envision his face’s outline.Upon seeing him, Giselle felt like a broken dam. Her tears were streaming down harder than before, she was sobbing even.The Luna grabbed onto Marcus’s shirt. Giselle buried her face into his shirt, crying hysterically. Her whole body was shaking due to her crying, her tears quickly wetted Marcus’s front shirt.Yet, the head alpha did not bother about his wet shirt. He was more worried about the crying Luna of hi
Who could that wolf be?Raiz bit his lips, thinking of all the possible chances. Nonetheless, he came up with no one.That wolf was too quick for his followers to catch up with him. He was careful at hiding his scent, too. Whoever that wolf was, he surely knew how to spy.But suddenly, there was a name that Raiz never wanted to remember of flash in his mind.The name of a wolf who had killed one of his lackeys in the hospital a year ago. The name of the wolf who had ruined his plan of kidnapping the Bailey’s pack's Luna.The name was Nabeel Bailey!He was the twin brother of Dorris Bailey, the right-hand of Raiz’s brother, the fearest fighter of all time. Even though Nabeel was only a beta, his fighting skills were no joke. Even alphas felt threatened by him sometimes.It took Raiz his blood, sweat, and tears just to get rid of Nabeel.Maybe Raiz had been in his comfortable stage too long that he had completely forgotten that Nabeel was still alive. He had only been banished, not sent
Merely in one minute, Marcus had finished all the mag of ten bullets. The head alpha pushed the little button underneath the stand’s surface. A rattling sound was heard before the bullseyes came close to them. All of the ten bullets hit the center of the bullseyes, no miss! “Wow!” Giselle exclaimed, “You’re good.” “Well yes, I am,” the head alpha had that smugly look on his face as he took the compliment without any hesitation. Giselle could not help but roll her eyes at his cockiness. After he had done replacing a new mag for Giselle's turn to shoot, Marcus stepped aside, “Now, it’s your turn,” the head alpha pulled Giselle in, pushing her backward. “I don’t,” “I will teach you how to do it. Go ahead. If not, then it won’t be called destress anymore.” The Luna wanted to decline but Marcus brushed it off. He insisted that the Luna should try. Besides, Marcus did not go anywhere, he would help the Luna. “Come on,” Marcus encouraged her. Hesitated for a bit, the Luna stepped
“Leave, pup!”Nabeel rolled his eyes at the sight of Toby in front of his apartment.This fighter had followed Nabeel since last night. The beta had made sure to leave him at the entrance of the woods. But somehow, the fighter still found him.This was getting on his nerves.“I won’t.”Toby sounded affirmed. There was something telling the fighter that Nabeel had known more of Raiz than Toby could think of. It was just that the beta would not bother to share.Nabeel narrowed his eyes at the fighter, coldly he said, “Then stay if you want.”With that said, the beta locked his door, putting on his cap, ready to leave.“Where are you going? You’re heading to Raiz again?” Toby quickly followed the beta to the elevator.“Where am I going is none of your business. You want to stay in front of my home, then be my guess. Just don’t follow me! I hate followers!”Nabeel looked at Toby, the beta sounded threatened.Indeed, Nabeel was only a beta. Toby was an alpha. An alpha fighter was always st

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
