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
“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. His lips quivered but no words could
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? He seemed to be a nice guy, Giselle would remember if she had met him before.But then, again, everything about her past was nothing but a blurry mess to her. He might be someone she knew back then. Moving here was such a great

"It was the last order of the day. We can clean up now!"Giselle said as she paddled through the crowded kitchen to the staff locker room. Giselle untied her white apron hurridly. At that time, she just wanted to get home. Her back was hurt. Her feet were swollen. And to top it off, she also had a terrible headache. It was pretty uncommon since her heat had just ended. Giselle did not know what had caused her to be in this stage. In all honesty, she did not want to know either. It never came with good luck.She opened her locker. Suddenly, she noticed that her phone was drowning with calls from her father. By the look of that, it seemed like her father was a little bit rushing.Giselle let out a sigh. She blandly looked at her phone. She did not want to call back or even send him a text. To her, her father was merely a stranger. A stranger who happened to be the Alpha of her pack. Nothing more, nothing less.She took a pill, hoping for her headache to die
"What an ungrateful Omega! Do you know what did you have just said? If it wasn't for this pack that gave you and your mother a place to live, your mother and you would have been torn apart by wild wolves! What do you think two weak Omegas like you two could do on the outside?"Brenna Brown fired back. Her voice sounded irritated.She had never liked Giselles. Twenty years ago, when Brenna had seen Giselle's mother for the first time, she hated herself for not being able to tear Giselle’s mother apart or remove her from the pack.Giselle’s mom even dared to seduce her husband! And that filthy woman even gave birth to Giselle! If it wasn't for that Giselle girl, Brenna would have had two children then, not just one!Giselle, of course, clearly felt Brenna’s malice towards her. Yet, she did not pay any attention to Brenna. Giselle did not think it was worth it. She looked directly at Edsel, the old bastard sitting in the back of his desk. H
Giselle hurried home only to find her apartment was empty.The apartment door did not seem broken. No one was around. Yet, there were lots of other wolves' scents. And the smell was horrible.Giselle shakingly opened the door to find her small flat in pitch black. The inside was strangely quiet. However, she could sense a creeping feeling run along her spine, causing her to have goosebumps. As soon as she swung the door open, the scents of Edsel’s men flooded her nostrils. Those unfamiliar scents made her stomach churn. She felt nauseous, and her head was dizzy as well.What an unpleasant stinky smell!Yet, this wasn’t the time for complaining about those horrible scents.Giselle mumbled: “Mom?”She was quick to realize her voice was a little bit small. Giselle cleared her throat, calling out a bit louder: “Mom?”No one answered.Giselle’s inner wolf was raging. She couldn’t help
Just when her car drove off, the friendly smile painted on that strange man’s face quickly disappeared. In front of him, there stood four other men. The look on their face seemedmerciless.The strange man said to them: “They are at the back.”With that said, the strange man stepped aside while those four walked their way into the bar.No intruder could do any harm in Bailey's area. He would make sure those lone wolves imprinted that to their brain.Talking about imprinting, the strange man eyed Giselle's direction until her car was just a tiny black dot and merged into the darkness of the night. He refigured about that woman and couldn’t help but let out a laugh.She was definitely something else. She was not a fighter, but her attitude was somewhat stubborn and reckless.In the strange man's pack, any wolves who were not a fighter usually had that solf look and were submissive to other fighters.That w
