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
"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
"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
“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
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
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
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
