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
It was dark where Giselle was standing. Pitch black.The Stephern’s omega looked around in confusion, wondering how she could get here.Unexpectedly, after quite a few minutes of confusion, Giselle found herself covered in some magical blue light that glowed, and shone through the darkness of this unknown space. It was so bright that Giselle had to close her eyes for a moment. And when it disappeared, Giselle opened her eyes to find her wolf standing in front of her.Her brownish wolf cast an eerie aura that glowed in the dark. It became the only source of light in here. With her wolf being by her side, Giselle felt calmer.The Stephern’s omega kneeled, giving her wolf an Eskimo kiss. Her wolf purred, clearly enjoying the spiritual connection between the two. Though it always stayed within Giselle, it never had a chance to stand in front of her. It was a great change anyways.“Come on,” Giselle stood up, walking forward. Her wolf followed by her side.“Hello?” Giselle called out. But
“Where are we going?” Giselle asked.They had been walking mindlessly in this dark space, for maybe, hours on end. Yet, they did not seem to reach their destination. This space appeared to be enormous. It did not have an end. Giselle really thought so.“We’ll be there in no time,” the little girl replied, still leading them ahead.Suddenly, Giselle noticed a change in their surroundings. The pitch-back scenery was slowly turning brighter. And as they were walking forward, their surroundings changed, too.It changed to somewhere Giselle was not really familiar with. But then, she came to realize they were heading to the hospital of the Bailey’s pack. The special department, to be exact.Giselle looked around, feeling lost. Her passersby did not seem like they were aware of Giselle, her wolf, and the little girl. Those walked through them literally.However, Giselle only felt confused about why did her daughter take her here. Obviously, there was nothing Giselle needed to do at the hos
Lukas was in his office, recalling what had happened three days ago at Giselle’s.If he was not mistaken, Lukas definitely had seen a silhouette sticking its head out to have a look at the frightening scene. But it would not be so suspicious if that person did not turn away real quick just by the glance of Lukas.Therefore, the head alpha of the Ashes pack had all reason to believe whoever that person was; they definitely had something to do with Catherine’s death.Catherine was a weak wolf. Lukas was positive that the omega did not have any enemies at all. Then who?Immediately Lukas remembered the most important piece of news recently: Giselle had been chosen to be the next leader of the Brownson pack!The head alpha of the Ashes pack had all reason to believe that the one who was behind this tragedy was none other than Brenna or Tina. Must be one of the two!“That b*itch!” He grunted.The head alpha tightened his fists until his knuckles turned white. His eyebrows squinted to almos
Marcus looked down at his bouquet of lilac lavender flowers mixed with eucalyptus and baby’s breath in his hand.He suddenly realized how awful his choice of flowers was.“You’re here,”While the head alpha still deliberated within himself about whether he should throw the flowers away or keep them, Giselle’s soft voice rang through the silence of her ward.Her sudden exclaim got Marcus startled. The head alpha got all abashed.“Yea-yeah,” Marcus cleared his throat as he answered Giselle.Giselle was sitting on her bed. Her legs curled up close to her chest, Giselle wrapped her arms around her knees, chin resting upwards, her eyes peering out the sunny window outside.Although the temperature inside was warm, Marcus still felt oddly cold. He could not find valid reasons to explain the situation. Yet, by the look at how emotionless Giselle was, he suddenly understood why.The little ball of sunshine had its light die.The cheerful and bright soul Giselle had, had seemed to be gone. Wha
