Chapter 15: Only Tina

Marcus.

I woke up to the sweet aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans and the sound of it crushed under the sharp blades of the coffee beans blending machine, which I had not used in a pretty long time.

I sat up in my bed, half of my body still covered in my greyish and fluffy comforter, too comfortable to get out to my liking. However, after being such a procrastinator for a good fifteen minutes, I got up from my messy bed, heading to my bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. The man in the mirror stared back at me. His eyes were tired. He looked like he had not slept in days.

Indeed, there was not a single night in which I could go to sleep in peace. I could not sleep. If I ever tried to close my eyes, that night’s horrible scene would replay all over again in my head, it prevented me from sleeping.

My inner wolf was angry at me, too.

I sighed and walked out of my bathroom to change.

I did not want to think about it anymore. Not today.  

Giselle was there, in the kitchen, making her morning coffee.

Her eucalyptus scent and coffee aroma filled my kitchen in the sweetest and coziest way possible. But in those notes, there was my scent lingering in, filling itself in the harmony of those notes. It made me feel perfect and imperfect at the same time.  

But, much to my surprise, those scents mixed with mine had formed an invisible hand scratching me inside. 

It recalled me of that night.

I had to admit that night I still had the slightest control over myself. 

I could still hold myself back from not knotting her, to make sure pulling out before I swelled up. But that night, when her scent mixed with mine, our scent was so dominant, so seductive. It pulled me in. It clouded my mind, and I was lost in it.

I wanted to drown in that scent.

My wolf bathed in that tempting aroma and wanted nothing more but to submerge in that scent.

Somehow, someway, I remembered it had told me, no, it screamed at me to mark her. Mark her!

But I refused.

“What are you thinking about?”, I mumbled to myself, shook my head, tried not to think of it anymore.

I looked back at Giselle. 

The little Omega still stood frozen in front of the coffee machine. Her eyes still had sleepiness clouded. Her left-hand thumb and index fingers in the edge of her favorite yellow bright with an animated sun painted on mug under the brew of the coffee machine. Her head turned to one side, staring at the scenery at my small balcony outside the sliding door nearest to her.

At my kitchen balcony, there stood plenty of pots of plants: herbs, flowers, cactus, and some unknown vines.

When I moved to this apartment, mom had been here for quite a time. She had told me to trim and reorganized my kitchen balcony to just a few pots for a clean, breathable, and not so covered in such greenish. Green was good. But it should be cut down to a certain amount. With that many greens I had from both the main and kitchen balcony, she said that was just overwhelming. Some insects and bugs might find that my kitchen balcony was so attempting and ideal to make a life out of it.

Many years later, you could tell, I had never gotten it done.

I wondered if Giselle was thinking the same thing or not.

She was too focused that she did not notice I was there, too.

I made my way to the kitchen, opened the fridge, rummaged to find anything to fix for my breakfast.

“I made you breakfast.”, Giselle spoke up.

Giselle had noticed me. She spoke up out of nowhere.

When my gaze met her, I could clearly see a bit of awareness hidden in Giselle’s doe eyes.

Maybe she thought I did not catch what she said the first time, so she repeated, “I made sandwiches…if you want...of course.”

She sounded hesitant.

It had been a month since our wedding, and although Giselle and I were living together, we rarely met. Not to mention, we rarely talked, because I could never look at Giselle after that night.

That night I forced myself on her. I could hold myself back, but I gave in. And when I realized, then it was too late. The damage had been done.

She was lying there, beside me. The bruises on her skin looked like evils’ eyes staring at me. They were prooves to my carelessness. I forced myself on her without her consent. At that time, the only thought that swam in my mind was to release my anger on her.

Even though my inner wolf was going crazy inside my mind. It begged me to stop. It growled at me, threatened me not to push things too far.

But I could not stop. So I let my anger get the best of me.

We had not talked since then.

It felt like there was an invisible wall between us.

The more I thought about it, the more my heart ached at the thought.

My inner wolf felt sad, too. Agony almost, and when I looked at Giselle, deep in my core, something churned. The feeling was strange.

I felt sorry for her, which I should never have felt. Being a stubborn man as I was, I shook my head, dismissed the thought.

She wanted this marriage. She wanted to be in Tina’s position, which she should not have been.

Therefore, this was her punishment.

I let out a heavy sigh and rushed to the door as the thought of her firmly confirmed that she had pushed Tina away, making its way to my mind.

“Marcus, I…”, Giselle’s voice rang me back to reality.

I glanced at her. Maybe it was because my gaze was a little bit too harsh, I could see her flinched.

A guilty feeling crept in. My inner wolf ushered me to comfort her, but I shooed it away.

She deserved it.

“What do you want?”, I asked, coldly.

Giselle looked like she was debating with herself. She wanted to say something, but shook her head, dismissed it, “Nothing.”

I quickly grabbed an apple then rushed to the door.

My inner wolf was almost out of control then.

I was just about to head out when my toxic trait got the best of me. I returned to the kitchen, finding Giselle where she was just mere seconds ago. I huffed and told her, “What’s with that long face?”

“W…What?”, Giselle frowned. She was obvious to my sudden temper.

“You want to take Tina's place, you got it then. So now what’s with the long face? Or are you regretting it now? It’s not the life that’s you wanted, right?”, I huffed. Even I could hear my sarcasm.

Giselle stammered, weakly defense for herself, “I…I don’t…”

“You don’t what?”, I cut her words.

Giselle bit her lips, shook her head, “I’m sorry.”

Her sorry fueled a wave of anger inside of me. 

I clenched my fists, gritted my teeth. 

My inner wolf let out a low growl. Much to my surprise, it was not a growl for threatening Giselle. It was scowling me. 

Me! 

It wanted me to stop.

And I did what it wanted.

I left the apartment, made sure to shut the door in the most loudly way I could.

Fuck!

I only wanted Tina. I only loved Tina’s scent with me. I just wanted to mate with Tina.

Only Tina!

    Giselle.It was half-past eight in the evening that I left my mom’s loft. We had had a nice day, chit-chatting about everything and her giving me advice. Though she could not be at our home, we still managed to have the same old feeling. It was nice to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.“I don’t know much about mating. You know, I don’t have a mate. But listen to your wolf, to your instinct. Gigi, Luna will lead you to your happiness. Trust, Luna.”I sighed as I recalled my mom’s words on my problem. She and I both knew there were no other ways I could use to get out of this situation anymore. If so, maybe I should go with it.If Marcus and I could not be a loving couple, then a closed relationship would not be bad at

  • My Luna, Let's Fall In Love Again   Chapter 19: Rogues

    Marcus. The wind blew hard that night. It was almost eight, my friends and I were about to take on our patrol duty. We divided our team into two. One would take a tour around the city of our territory, and the other would take the forest path. After two rounds, there was no sign of the intruders in the city and the woods, which made me question those rouges Raiz mentioned. Even though rogues were known to be very aggressive, they would try to avoid fighting if they could. After all, they were rogues. They were believed to be easy to be in a vulnerable position if there might have any fight occurred. So that made me wonder, did they show up at our area by accident? Or were they spying on us? If they showed up in our area by accident, then there would be nothing to worry about. On the contrary, if they were spying on us, that would be a stupid decision. Because, one, even if my pack had lacked an Alpha leader, Bailey’s pack was s

    Giselle headed back home after she dropped by her small dinner.She did not feel like working today, so she decided to go home earlier than usual.But home?It sounded odd in all kinds of ways. It did not feel like home at all. Yet, she could not run away from it. She did not belong to the Brownson pack anymore. She was one of the Bailey’s pack then. Her visiting her mom at the alpha leader’s mansion was more than enough. If she did not return to the Bailey’s pack, she would be a rouge, and far as she knew, an Omega rouge did not seem right.She would be killed in an instant.Giselle let out a heavy sigh, pushed open the door to her supposed-to-be home. She was quite surprised to find Marcus had already been home.Seeing him made her reminisce about what her mom had said.Luna had bonded them, had blessed them, then there should have been something assured about them. She had to trust Luna.With that mindset, Giselle gulped,

    Giselle felt so ashamed.She was lying on her side, curling up, staring at Marcus’s window.Outside of his window, the moon was hiding behind those greyish clouds. She did not see the scene unfold in his bedroom. She did not witness the hell Giselle had been through once again. In the corner of her eyes, she saw Marcus get up and get dressed. He seemed like he wanted to go out.But Giselle did not bother to ask, so she shifted her gaze back to the outside of his window pane.Marcus caught the sight of Giselle lying on his mattress. A thin blanket covered her bare body. In that messy bed of his, Giselle’s petite body frame seemed to be swallowed by all of those pillows and the duvet under her. She drowned in them.The petite omega lay there, motionless.Tears streamed down from her eyes, silently. Yet, Giselle did not sob. She did not whimper, either. She was lying there, crying in silence.Unknowingly, his heart ached

    Nabeel stood in the elevator, patiently awaiting it to reach the first floor.But then, in all suddenly, he caught a familiar silhouette of a young wolf – Marcus, his nephew.Nabeel remembered when he left the pack, Marcus was only a pup. The little pup used to hang out with him all the time. Nabeel could still recall whenever he shifted into his wolf form, little Marcus would insist on sitting on his back, screaming in excitement as Nabeel carried him running through the woods.“I want to be like you when I grow up!”, Marcus had said that.“You should be like your father!”, Nabeel used to laugh it off with Marcus’s dad.All good things must come to an end, things were different then. Nabeel touched his car on his neck, feeling bittersweet.The lift reached the first floor, Nabeel got out just in time for Marcus to get in. It was a brief moment of the two passed by each other.

    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?

    “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.

    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.
