Marcus.
The council members had gathered at the meeting room inside of the packhouse. They were all sitting at their positions, discussing something I was not interested in.My mind drifted to this morning when I put out my anger at Giselle.My wolf crawled back and forth in my mind. He hissed at me and looked at me with a disapproving look. He was judging me. He was blaming me for his sadness, his ache.I could not help but admit ever since that night, my wolf constantly felt aching. But not only my wolf.I reached where my heart was. It hurt right there, too. Every time I thought of that night or wrapped my mind around Giselle.But I could tolerate it. I had to.“..Mar…Marcus…”Mom shook me, snapping me back to reality.I looked at her, realized that I was a little lost in my thought. Everyone in the meeting room looked at me with confusing looks on their faces. My uncle, Raiz, had stood up, and clearly, he had just done his talking.&nbGiselleHe stormed off as always.But this morning, he decided to give some of his harsh words to me. He presumed that I deserved it. And even if Iwanted to defend me, there was nothing I could say to him.Should I tell him that I was not in the wrong here?Should I tell him that it was Tina who deceived him?Should I tell him that Edsel had my mom as a hostage, so I had to do what he said?Would he believe in me?That was why I decided not to say anything. I bit my lips to keep my words at its bay.I flinched as he slammed the door hard, signaling that he was beyond angry. It was frustrating. Marcus hated me to the gut.I turned to look at the sandwiches I had made on the table, then to my coffee. My vision got blurry. Tears were welling up, threatening to drop.But I held it in. I could not cry.I chose to do this myself.I chose…***Just the thought of going bac
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
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
“That bitch!”Tina yelled in frustration, punching hard on the couch.“Arg!!”It seemed like screaming was not enough to release her anger; Tina crazily knocked out anything in her sight.Accidentally, Tina caught a glimpse of herself in the full-length mirror beside her bed. Tina’s eyes widened.She rushed to the mirror, turned to her left and then to her right; Tina stared at herself. She could not believe what she had seen!“That…bitch…”Her face was swollen!“Arg!!”Tina yelled. Anger fuel inside of her. She bit her lips; her face turned white.Tina was literally shaking.If she had known she would bump into Giselle, she would have not chosen the back gate! Fuck, she just wanted to sneak out and have some fun. Edsel had her locked up in this mansion for weeks!Weeks!She could barely stand three days!And worse!He
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. However, Nabeel’s earthy scent remi
“You’re dozing off again.”Derek shifted in his seat, uncomfortable.Giselle shook her head, kindly turned down Derek, “Sorry, but I’m pretty busy with the dinner recently. I want to focus on this first.”“Oh,” Derek seemed sad, “Sorry, I’m too inconsiderate, am I?”“No, no, no, of course not. You’re not inconsiderate. You’re a good man, Derek.”Giselle saw the man blaming himself for what he should not have been. She quickly covered it up by saying otherwise. Obviously, it was not Derek's fault.“Then why don’t you go out with me?”Derek stared at Giselle dead in her eyes. If she said he was a good man, then why did she not go out with him? Must have been something wrong with him.Giselle let out a heavy sigh before she decided to tell him the truth, “I’m married, Derek. I’m married.”Derek widened his eyes
