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
Back at Catherine’s apartment, currently, the omega’s crying had died out. Catherine sat on her couch. Her phone clutched in her palms. She pursed her lips, wondering whether should she call Giselle.The omega knew she had been wrong to her daughter. Catherine’s intention was no different from betraying Giselle. Catherine totally understood why Giselle had been mad at her.No words could justify Catherine’s thoughts. Honestly, even Catherine still did not know herself anymore.Edsel, that selfish alpha had stunned her ever since the day Catherine had been banished from her pack, disowned by her dad. And when Edsel had gotten hand in hand with Brenna, the selfish alpha had completely turned his cold shoulders to Catherine. He had forced her to do surgery to remove his mark on her. Needless to say, the procedure of removing the mark had pained Catherine for life!The omega bit her lips, touching the scar that stayed hidden under her cardigan. It had been there maybe for more than twent
“What happened?”Marcus rushed to Fynn’s office where Tim, Lady Bailey, and a representative of the council had been awaiting.The looked on their face seemed serious.“One of our elders was attacked. He’s in pretty bad shape now,” Tim said.“Will he make it?” Marcus asked again.Tim looked at the other two before shaking his head, “We don’t know yet. Fynn isn’t out of the operation room yet.”Marcus heavily nodded. Tim briefly reported to him the whole situation.The elder that got attacked was one of Raiz’s supporters. It would be easier to understand if the one who got wounded was one of Marcus’s supporters. But it was not.Lady Bailey bit her lips. She had been lost in her thought for quite a while then. The former Luna was wondering why did Raiz choose to do this. Why did he have to take his supporters down? Was it a plan of diverting their attention to something else rather than him so he could freely to operating his real plan?“Alpha, what should we do now?” The representative
“My mom will be at your party?” The Luna exclaimed. She found it hard to believe that her mom actually agreed to come.But came to think of it, Catherine really got no choice then.If she came and supported Lukas, maybe the alpha would spare Edsel.If she came and disapproved of Lukas, or if she did not come, did not do anything. Either way, Edsel would be in danger.Lukas had carefully planned it all before he came to see Catherine. The alpha had made it look like he was giving Catherine her freedom to choose, while actually, she did not have any choice but to support him.“Things are going in your direction now,” Giselle looked at the alpha, unamused.Lukas shrugged, “Your mom needs some accelerant,” the alpha did not deny what Giselle had said. He insinuated that her words were true though, “Truth be told, I was so sure your mom knows too well of my intention. She could have just stayed in and chosen to do nothing. That way she still got what I had promised with you guys without mo
“Did Lukas drop by?”The head alpha trailed after his Luna, he asked.“How do you, oh, the scent, isn’t it?” The Luna was about to ask how could he know, but she was quick to realize about the scent.She had talked with Lukas for quite a time, and she barely showed up in the kitchen. Therefore, his scent must have had lingered.Marcus nodded, “Did he drop by?” the head alpha stubbornly repeated himself.“Yeah,” the Luna sighed as she opened the fridge and got herself a drink, then proceeded to the couch with the head alpha trailing behind.“Why though? What does he have to do with you? Doesn't he have his pack to worry about?” The head alpha kept on bombarding his Luna with questions about Lukas.Don't blame him. Blame it on his possessiveness then. Plus, he was being possessive over his Luna, not anyone else.Giselle flopped on the couch, patting the seat next to her, gesturing for the head alpha to sit down. And when he had done settling in beside her, the Luna began to tell him abo
“He would go to the mansion soon. Please, protect him.”Lady Bailey sat on the bench in the hospital’s park. Her tone sounded pleading.It was understandable, Lady Bailey only got Marcus left. If Marcus got in danger, she would have lost it.On the other end, Nabeel also felt Dorris’s sad emotion. It was obvious, due to the fact that they were twins. The bond between them was unexplainable.“I will. I promise,” Nabeel sounded asserted. He would protect Marcus with all his might. Not only the head alpha was his nephew, but also Marcus was his best friend’s only child. The only child that proved his best friend once live and be the best head alpha Nabeel had ever known of.The banished beta would protect Marcus even if it cost Nabeel his life.Lady Bailey stayed silent for a while before she muttered out a “Thank you,” ever so lightly, yet, so heavy.The line immediately went dead.As Dorris stood up, in the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar silhouette.Dorris frowned, “Could this
Giselle felt caught off guard by Lady Bailey’s abrupt question.“Wh, what? What do you mean?”“Is the head alpha acting strange lately?” Dorris Bailey repeated herself. However, she might look as calm as she appeared to be, but actually, the former Luna was burned up by her anxiety inside.Giselle hesitated to answer her.The former Luna felt her anxiety had already eaten her up, “Yes or no Giselle!” She spatted.The Luna startled. She gulped and thought about it for a second before shooking her head nonetheless.“Are you lying to me?” Lady Bailey did not believe in the Luna. Her eyes locked their suspicious gaze at Giselle, "Giselle, I'm here to help and I need you to be honest with me."The Luna was quick to say, “No! I’m not. I’m being honest here. Marcus isn’t acting strange. He’s being all caring to me a lot lately, if not more,” Giselle was telling the truth. Besides their two missed dates, the head alpha did not act strange at all.“But why are you asking me that? At this late

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
