“I was about to see you,” Marcus huffed.“Oh,” Dorris exclaimed, “Nice to meet you, too.”The Lady invited herself into Marcus's office. Needless to say, the Lady was taken aback by what she saw.Looking around at the messy office, Dorris clicked her tongue, “A wrath came just before I did, right?”The Lady did not wait for Marcus to answer her question. She went straight to the couch, sat down, crossed her arms, and said, “Now, come. What do you want to interrogate me for?”“You came to my apartment a month ago, knocked her unconscious, and brought her away. Dorris, where did you take her to?” Marcus closed the door behind him. The head alpha looked at the composed Lady Bailey, who was sitting still on her couch, looking indifferently.The Lady did not even flinch at Marcus’s question. It seemed like she did not really care about anything anymore.“To the hospital,” Dorris said. The Lady was about to move away. Therefore, she did not see any reason to hide the truth, “I was angry at
“So that’s the truth,” Marcus heaved out, “I know. Thanks.”The head alpha hung up the call and frustratingly threw his phone to the side. Marcus flipped to lay on his back, staring at his ceiling, zoning out. His arm unconsciously reached to the side where Giselle used to lay with him on their bed.If all of this hazard never happened, Giselle must be right there at the moment, snuggling into his chest, yawning, and telling him about her days or what irritated her. And if he had to say, Marcus missed the feeling of Giselle.He missed her relaxing eucalyptus scent.And it was not just him that missed her presence, his inner wolf too.They said that once you cut all ties with your mate, your wolf would feel nothing about its once mate.But Marcus's inner wolf was different.It craved for its mate every single day.Yet, Marcus had to force his inner wolf to come to terms with such an empty feeling.He knew his wolf did not deserve this. This was his fault.His head hurt, and he did not
“Marcus?” Catherine exclaimed. She clearly did not expect Marcus to come here at all, “What are you doing here?”Marcus glanced through Catherine’s shoulders into her apartment. The head alpha saw no sign of Giselle. The Stephern’s omega must have left before he arrived, which was kind of disappointed.“Has Giselle left?” Marcus asked.Catherine nodded, “Yeah. Why?”Marcus could not help but feel flabbergasted. The head alpha intended to come to see Giselle before she left for her restaurant, because recently, once the Stephern’s omega got to her working space, she refused to meet anyone come to see her. But it seemed like he did not make it this time.“I just…want to talk to her about-”Marcus did not get to finish his words when Catherine interrupted him, “You shouldn’t.”“Pardon?” Marcus frowned.Catherine shook her head, repeating herself, “You shouldn’t see her, Marcus. This is for you two’s good.”“I don’t understand?” Marcus felt lost. Why all of suddenly Catherine say such a t
“No! Marcus! You have to believe me!” Tina pleaded.The head alpha showed her no sign of waver, “You’ve said enough. And I have heard enough. Tina, I’m coming today to end things with you. We shouldn’t stay in contact anymore.”His cold and harsh words had gotten Tina to feel like she had been pushed down to the bottomless abyss. The girl felt cold. She had this weird feeling that the air had just left her. She could not breathe properly.The Brown girl was quivering, “You- you- you’re kidding me, right? You can’t- you can’t leave me like this! You can’t!”And expectedly, Tina could not control her already unstable mental stage anymore. The girl shouted out loud, “You can’t leave me like this, Marcus! You said you wanted to be with me! You wanted me to be your Luna! Make me your Luna! You can’t abandon me like this!”Marcus kept his ground, “You said it yourself! I wanted! It was in the past, Tina. Not anymore! Especially when you’re the one who ran away from me! I can leave you for w
When Marcus had left, Brenna stepped out of her room. The banished Luna looked at her daughter, who was collapsed on the floor at the moment, disappointment written all over Brenna’s face. “Mo- mom,” Tina crawled to her, still crying, “Marcus left me! He left me! What should I do now mom?” Brenna gritted, “I wish I could shut your mouth when you started blabbing your gibberish, Tina. You’ve ruined my plan!” “Wh-what?” Tina was taken aback. The Brown girl looked at her mom like she was staring at a stranger. Brenna felt so different in Tina’s eyes. It made Tina feel like the banished Luna was not the Brenna Brown – Tina’s mother. It felt like the Brenna who stood right in front of Tina as of then was a stranger. A stranger came to blast Tina with nothing but disapproval in her harsh words and distanced expression. Tina did not know that woman! “You only have one job, and yet you ruin it!” Brenna hissed. There were no words she could use to describe the utmost discouragement she
Catherine, who was clueless about the Brownson pack’s decision, was in the kitchen preparing Giselle’s favorite dish when she heard a loud knocking sound coming from her front door.At first, she thought it was Giselle, but it really made no sense to her. Giselle knew the door code.Catherine suddenly got an uneasy feeling about this. Thud! Thud! Thud!The knocking came louder. The person on the other side was banging on the door literally. It seemed like whoever the person was they must be in real urgency.“Open the door!” Brenna shouted.“Brenna?” Catherine sounded surprised. The omega never expected to have a visit from Brenna. The banished Luna hated Catherine to the gut. And it went both ways.All in all, it was not a pleasant surprise to hear Brenna outside of her door, pounding as if her life depended on it.“Open the God d*amn door you filthy Stephens!”Catherine really considered ignoring Brenna and just called the cops or the apartment building security. But then, could the
“You little b*itch!”Brenna shouted as she lunged herself toward Giselle.Surprised by the banished Luna’s sudden anger, Giselle could not avoid her attack in time.The banished Luna grabbed on Giselle’s collar, bombarding the poor omega with her non-stop questions, “What have you done? What did you bribe Sir Alex with? What did you give him? Are you planning on this from the beginning? Are you trying to get revenge on me?”Brenna’s eyes started to lose her concentration. In her eyes, Giselle could not see a hint of her humanity anymore. Instead, there was a look of her wolf trying to break free.Giselle’s inner wolf obviously sensed the threat coming from Brenna. It wanted to shift, too. Her inner wolf was telling her that shifting was her only way out of such a tight situation. Only if Giselle shifted, her wolf could protect her pup and her mom, too.But Giselle hesitated.She was prohibited from shifting in public.However, Giselle glanced at Catherine who was struggling with her c
A few minutes ago.Honesty speaking, Marcus was disheartened to see Lukas outside of Giselle’s apartment building. Although the head alpha of the Bailey’s pack did not make it so obvious, Lukas could tell; because the feeling was mutual.“What are you doing here?” Lukas asked, feeling irritated. Obviously, the head alpha of the Ashes pack did not expect to see Marcus here at all. “It should be me who asked such a question,” Marcus scoffed.“I thought I have made myself clear that I want to court Giselle?” Lukas arched an eyebrow in somewhat cocky behavior.The head alpha of the Bailey’s pack glared at his rival, “And I thought I have made myself clear that you wouldn’t get her?”Lukas squinted his eyes as he tried to dig through Marcus’s stone-hard expression. The head alpha of the Bailey’s pack did not look like he was kidding about preventing him and Giselle from getting together.“Such a bastard!” Lukas thought to himself.Be that as it may, Lukas really did not understand why.Wh
