On his way to the elevator, the head alpha walked pass the Brownson pack’s omega's ward.He thought of paying the omega a visit, but then he remembered it was too early. Therefore, the head alpha brushed the thought away. He would visit Tina another time. He wanted to get home now.As he walked away, to the corner of the hallway, Brenna stepped out from the dark of the corner, looking at the shadow of the head alpha leaving Tina’s ward. The Brownson pack’s Luna gritted her teeth. She looked utmost angry.***Marcus got home by five-thirty in the morning.His apartment sank into a deep silence. The head alpha took a look around his dim living room, breathing in a deep breath of Giselle’s eucalyptus scent.The Sun outside had not araise yet. The city lights down the streets were still on. They cast colorful lights shining through the window glasses of his living room. Their colorful lights also cast an eerie aura on the silhouette of Giselle, his Luna.The Bailey’s pack’s Luna fell asle
Lady Bailey got a mail this morning.It was a small rectangular box, small enough to fit in her hands. The mail did not have the sender's name, yet, the former Luna could guess what was in this box already.Even though Giselle had said she wanted to think about Lady Bailey’s suggestion, the former Luna knew Giselle would agree with her sooner or late.Marcus needed an heir. Giselle needed his heir to secure her position in the pack too if she ever wanted to stay by Marcus’s side for longer.Lady Bailey would do anything to assure the two would have a pup together.It was not like Lady Bailey liked Giselle or anything. The former Luna did not hate Giselle. Giselle was not as bad as her step-sister. She would be a more perfect match for Marcus than Tina.As his mother, Lady Bailey must do what would be best for him.The former Luna eyed the mysterious box with an unwavering expression.Suddenly, her phone rang.The former Luna did not bother to see who was the caller, she picked up, “He
The head alpha stared deep into the Luna’s eyes.In contrast to his surprised look, the Luna seemed pretty unwavering. Calming, almost. Giselle made the head alpha feel like whatever she had said, she really did mean it.And it was not like the head alpha opposed to it. He had been thinking about it a lot lately. Yet, when Giselle mentioned it to him, the head alpha still got a little bit unsure.And do not get him wrong, the head alpha was not unsure of whether he truly wanted to mark the Luna. He was unsure because he did not know if Giselle really meant it.Therefore, he hesitated.Minding you, the two had a pretty much f*uck up past where Marcus forced himself on Giselle not once, but twice!He tried to make amends for the Luna.He tried every day to gain her trust back.He had come so far. He did not want to get back to wherever they were as when Giselle was scared of him, and he hated the Luna to his gut.He had to admit. Until today, when they could come to the stage where Gise
Giselle hitched Marcus, she said, “You think Lukas has an eye for me?”Marcus shrugged, “He might. He always has his issue of having his eyes on things that belonged to others.”As the words unconsciously slipped out of the head alpha’s tip of the tongue, he immediately got a little bit jumpy.F*uck! He did not mean to say that!What if Giselle asked why did he say so? Giselle did not know about Lukas and Tina. It was not like the head alpha tried to hide from anything, but who would be okay with their mate continuously looking for other girls? Even when they did not have a feeling for each other at the time.Not that Marcus knew of.Giselle furrowed, “You’re mean!”The head alpha secretly heaved a sigh of relief while he replied to his mate, “I’m not. I’m just saying the truth.”But before he could say anything else, his phone buzzed with a call. The head alpha quickly picked up, “What’s wrong?”Giselle could not catch what the caller on the other say, yet, the head alpha looked dead
“I didn’t expect to see you here, Luna,”Tina looked at Giselle in the eyes, her voice at the word “Luna” sounded mockery.The Brownson pack’s omega never saw Giselle as a Luna. To Tina, Giselle was an unwanted child of Edsel, a connection between Giselle’s pathetic mother to Edsel that the shameless omega kept on holding in. To Tina, Giselle was everything but a Luna.“You don’t want to ask how can I get here?” Giselle invited herself into the ward and closed the door behind her.Tina shook her head, “Why should I, Lady Bailey must have told you, so that explains pretty much.”The Bailey’s pack’s Luna carefully observed the omega of the Brownson pack, who was currently in a wheelchair. The once beautiful omega had been at her lowest point for a good while for sure.She looked worn out. Her beautiful face was then full of tired expression. She looked thinner, it was not the kind of healthy thin, and obviously, Tina was paler than the last time Giselle had seen the omega. Tina had her
“Marcus.” Giselle turned to the door, reaching her hand out to Marcus. Yet, the head alpha only threw a disapproving glance at her before rushing to where Tina was. The Brownson pack’s omega was crying her eyes out. Even Giselle felt sorry for her, then how could Marcus not? The head alpha rushed to the Brownson pack’s omega side. He quickly checked on her, “Are you okay?” Tina was getting her chance. The Brownson pack’s omega looked up to him. Her eyes painted the look of horrifying and alarm. As shakingly, the Brownson pack’s omega grabbed Marcus’s hands. Hastily, Tina said while sobbing hysterically, “Marcus, help me! Help me!” “Tina, calm down!” The head alpha kneeled beside her. He sounded calming and assuring. “Marcus! She’s here! She’s trying to take you away from me again! Marcus! Marcus! Help me! Help me! I don’t want to! I don’t want to! Those people are coming. They’re coming! They’re gonna take me away from you! No! No! No! Help me, Marcus! Tell her to go away! Go awa
“I told her to come.”Lady Bailey crossed her arms in front of her chest. She seemed unbothered as she watched the scene unfold.Giselle was on the floor. One of her hands was in Marcus’s hold. She looked bewildered. Marcus was on her side. But for now, Lady Bailey had lost for words to say to her son. Tina was in her wheelchair, the same as the last time Lady Bailey had seen her. Brenna had her role in this disorder play, too. The Brownson pack’s Luna furrowed once she saw the former Luna of the Bailey’s pack.“Mom, you called Giselle here?” Marcus helped Giselle to stand up. Confusedly, the head alpha asked his mom. Why did Lady Bailey call Giselle here?Lady Bailey nodded. She did not bother to explain why also. The former Luna of the Bailey’s pack said to Giselle, “Giselle, don’t just stand there. Come here. We have to go.”The Luna nodded. She yanked her hand back from Marcus’s grip, and without sparing anyone a glance, the Luna walked straight to Lady Bailey.“Mom! Giselle!”Mar
Giselle came back to the restaurant where Lukas had already waited for her. On her way there, her phone had been buzzing with non-stop calls from Marcus. The head alpha even sent her texts and texts, but she had made no effort to see what he had to say.The Luna walked into her office to find Derek – her manager and the head alpha of the Ashes pack discussing his private party.Giselle was so down that she did not catch the look of joy in Lukas’s dark orbs.Seeing the Bailey's pack’s Luna looked ever so blue, the head alpha could only guess. He frowned, yet realized this was not his job to care. The head alpha turned his attention away, minding his business, hiding his irritation away as Derek informed Gisell of what was going on.Sleek as he had thought he was. Yet, his worrisome expression did not get away from Derek’s gaze. The manager had caught a glimpse of Lukas eyeing Giselle and the look of worrisome in his eyes. But choosing to say nothing about it, the manager excused himsel

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
