I haven't updated much lately as I'm working on my new work :x Hopefully I can publish it soon :x Enjoy reading :x
“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
“Mom where’s Giselle?”Marcus caught up with Lady Bailey as she was about to get in her car and leave the hospital.Finally got rid of Tina, and the first thought within himself was to find Giselle. Yet, he only found Lady Bailey’s.Dorris Bailey glanced at her son, blandly she said: “Why? You remember Giselle now?”“Mom!” Marcus exclaimed. He frowned, “Why did you call her here?”Lady Bailey glanced at her son, unwavering, she said, “I’ve let her go. She looked devastated to do anything now.”“Why did you call her here?” Marcus repeated himself.“Giselle is the pack’s Luna. She needs to know what is the job of a Luna.”Lady Bailey implied in her first sentence, making sure Marcus got her idea.The head alpha was not dumb. He clearly knew what his mom wanted to say. The former was reminding him of who was who and his boundaries.“I know my Luna is Giselle. I am,”“You are undecided between Giselle or Tina for the hundreds of times,” Lady Bailey cut her son’s words in the middle of his
“I must sound silly to you, right?”When the head alpha of the Ashes pack, Lukas Perez, got lost in his train of thought, the Bailey’s pack’s Luna spoke up.Her soft tone of voice rang through his clouded mind, pulling him back to reality.Lukas blinked his eyes, looking straight at the Luna, he shrugged, “You might be. But it’s your choice, I’ll respect it.”Giselle hesitantly nodded. Somehow she felt like the head alpha had more in his mind to spare, yet, he chose to say nothing.As she thought they would continue discussing the menu for his party within the next two days, the head alpha stood up, showing Giselle that he was done talking.“I’ve heard about your choice of food. You could do whatever you want. If the party has all of your mom’s favorite dishes, that would be fine for me, too. I’m leaving.”“So soon?”The words accidentally slipped through Giselle’s lips got Lukas’s body stiffened up for a second. Giselle, being all obvious to Lukas, could not catch the look of unknown
Marcus shook his head to dismiss the thought. Giselle could never. When Marcus thought of the switching, Giselle was in critical condition. When Marcus suggested it, Giselle had not known anything. She had just awakened from her coma. The confused look on her face told him that she was clueless. There was no way Giselle could be the one who forced Tina to leave Marcus. Marcus refused to believe in this. But why did he still think about it? Could it be because of what he had heard through Tina’s call? Marcus recalled it. The more he remembered it, the more disturbing he felt. ‘If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have to leave Marcus! I wouldn’t be in this stage! It was all because of you!” ‘If it wasn’t for you and Edsel, do you think that I would choose to leave the one I love with all my heart to go with another man?’ Tina had mentioned of Edsel. Marcus furrowed. If there was Edsel involved, that selfish of a head alpha who would only care for his throne. He might have done it.
Brenna hung up the call, staring into the void in front of her. The Brownson pack’s Luna recalled what had happened when she had met Edsel. When Brenna had come to know Edsel, the alpha was a rogue for all that she knew. She had introduced Edsel to her father and asked if her father could accept him and his sister (who Brenna had come to figure out later on that she was Edsel’s ex-mate) into the pack. Her father had hesitated at first, but then he had to agree. Because one, she had Edsel’s pup. Two, Edsel had saved her life when Brenna had been kidnapped by some rogues lurking around their boundary. Though her father accepted Edsel to the pack, he had clearly stated that only Brenna and Brenna’s pup would be the heiress, and the heir to his throne, not Edsel. Edsel had not been as frustrated nor disappointed as Brenna had thought he would be. He stayed as calm as possible. He had even accepted her father’s condition with ease and carefree. He had said he only needed a shelter, and t
“Now that’s you’re here, I’m feeling safe now,” the Brownson pack’s omega said as she locked her gaze on Marcus.“Don’t be ridiculous. Even if I’m not here, you will always be safe. There are others around,” the head alpha reassured her.Tina shook her head almost immediately. Timidly, the omega said in her soft tone of voice, “No, they’re strangers. They’re dangerous. They might harm me! Only you. Only you mean no harm to me. Only you who care for me.”Marcus did not make any comment about this. Instead, he asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”“Pardon?” Tina moved away from him a little bit. Her eyes blinked in confusion. What exactly did the head alpha mean to say?“What had caused you to be like…this? What happened before you showed up at my bar? I have always wanted to ask you that, but I haven’t got my chance. Can you tell me now?”Marcus stared Tina right in the eyes, patiently waiting for her to say something.He did not know that although as calm and as collected as the ome
The pack house had clearly not been taken care of since God knows when.Dust and molds were everywhere. Even puddles of raindrops still remained, making the already dirty floor appear to be dirtier than ever.Upon seeing this, the Brownson pack’s Luna clearly seemed lost.This was the pack house. Even when the head alpha did not live here, it would not have to be this bad. There would still be someone who remained here. But this place looked run down to its core. It was the sign of no lives here for a long time.“What happened to this place?”Unknowingly, a confusing question slipped through her lips. When Brenna realized she should not have asked such a question, the damage had already been done.Sir Alex glanced at her through his back. His eyes flashed the look of judging and mocking. Without bothering to turn to face the Luna, blandly he said, “You should ask your mate. You’ve let him rotten this place. But not just this place. He has rotten the pack also.”“Are you blaming me now

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
